  • The Grange Care Centre, Faringdon
Welcome to The Grange Care Centre in Faringdon. Situated in the tranquil village of Stanford in the Vale, the charming home offers 24-hour nursing care for adults, on a long-term basis or for short-term respite care. They are blessed with a long-serving team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment.

The Grange comprises 40 single bedrooms and 4 companion rooms for couples wishing to share. Most of the bedrooms are equipped with an en-suite W.C. and a hand basin. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home. While bedrooms provide a tranquil area to rest and relax, the home's light and airy communal day rooms offer residents the opportunity to catch up with friends over a pot of tea, enjoy one of the guest entertainers or simply recline in front of their favourite films.

At The Grange, they encourage residents to take part in a range of engaging activities based on their lifestyle needs and preferences. Many of the activities take place within the home environment and include garden parties, barbecues, arts/crafts and quiz nights. The team empowers individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a salon blow-dry and manicure or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. As well as being encouraged to enjoy the home's landscaped gardens, residents also enjoy regular days out and seasonal trips further afield.

The Grange's professional catering team delivers nutritionally balanced meals that are appealing to all its residents. The professional food suppliers specialise in delivering high-quality food designed specifically for the healthcare sector.

This home is all about the care of its residents and how important it is to the family to see just how well cared for they are.
Nothing is too much trouble for any members of staff, they are so very kind and caring to each and every one if
the residents that are lucky enough to be in The Grange.
The rooms are all different and very adequate for each indivudual , they are fully furnished and kept clean.

The Grange Care Center is the best by far.
I like the fact that the manager sees the care home for what it is.
A place for care (not how much profit can I make from this.) All the staff are so caring and show so much respect for each individual resident and there is a lot of laughter daily.

My mum was a resident for almost four years and during that time all the staff at the home have always been caring and compassionate, supportive and truly gave us peace of mind knowing Mum was always in good hands, safe and looked after. The nursing and care staff were always amazing especially when
Mum’s health deteriorated keeping us fully informed and not only caring for Mum but being there for us as well. They always made Mum look well presented even when she became unable to do this herself. Making sure she had the food she loved. Always letting her have chocolate which was her favourite even though she would get in a mess and would need help to get cleaned up. Nothing was ever too much trouble Mum’s welfare was always put first.

My brother was admitted to The Grange Care Centre just before Christmas 2023. I was unsure whether he would like it there as he had been living on his own for several years, and was not used to being around lots of people. However, the management and staff did everything they could to make him feel
welcome. My brother is now very happy at The Grange, due mainly to the patience and compassion of the management and staff.

My mum has been a resident at the nursing home for about 18 months. She has Parkinson's and is 94 years old. She is very well looked after, and all the nurses and carers are so wonderful with her, and the whole family. They take an interest in how she is now, but also what she was like as a younger
woman. They get to know the family and are caring towards us too. I couldn't recommend the home enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband came to The Grange Care Centre in early December 2023, as an Alzheimer's patient, and I can honestly say that I have nothing but praise for all the staff and the care he receives. There is such a kind, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. There is real caring care, cheerfulness and compassion
and patience. Everything is spotless. As a visiting family member, I am also made most welcome and made to feel as though it is my home too. The food always smells very tempting and I have even been invited to have lunch with my husband. I had a delicious Christmas lunch with him.
I also appreciate that there is a lot of interaction from the staff with my husband, either doing personal care or doing repositioning or taking him to the lounge, feeding him etc. which means there is a lot of personal contact for my husband which I know will mean a lot to him, although he is not able to express it any more.

I have been visiting my Father at The Grange Care Centre on a daily basis for quite a while now and I am very happy with the care he is receiving. The care staff are wonderful and have built up a great rapport with my father. I, too, am made to feel very welcome when visiting - it's like calling in
on family. It is also a real comfort to know that if there is a medical problem the nursing staff are on hand.
Everybody in the office is exceptionally kind and friendly, always there to give any help or advice.
I am very happy with the way my father is being looked after.

My neighbour went into The Grange after a period of illness which meant he could no longer care for himself. From the first to the last day he spent there, the amazing staff treated him with care, compassion and love.
It's not called a 'care centre' for nothing: literally, everyone at The Grange
cares! It's their default setting. Everyone is so nice! Even as a visitor, I was made so welcome and could see a really positive change in the person I was visiting. The nurses were brilliant and the level of care was the best I've seen anywhere.
Setting-wise, it's lovely and quiet with the birds and the church clock as a very relaxing background. Communal areas are light and bright and the rooms look very comfortable and spacious for those preferring their own company.
I would thoroughly recommend The Grange to anyone - I might just go there myself when the time comes!

I don't think my wife could be in a better care home. When you're in your final weeks and days, the only thing that really matters is the quality of care, 24 hours a day. All the staff we met who looked after my wife were absolutely amazing. I don't need to mention names as they are all fantastic, incredibly
caring people. Amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of them.

My husband came to the Grange potluck from hospital, with different ailments. I was hesitant at first, so I stayed at the Grange a couple of nights to reassure myself that my husband was OK. Well to my delight, all was amazing and there was certainly no need to worry - all the staff were wonderful.
My husband was extremely well looked after in all ways - from washing, shaving, dressing and helping him to eat. I was made very welcome and was also offered food, as I travelled a distance from our home. On the days I couldn't travel, I was kept informed about my husband so I didn't worry, as I knew he was in caring hands. Sadly, my husband passed away in August but I'm so grateful for the outstanding care my husband received from all the members of staff. A wonderful team. I can't thank you enough.

My Mother has resided in The Grange Care Centre for five years, the care is continuously outstanding and the core staff remain year after year and that makes for a happy family atmosphere that is well respected and trusted. It gives my Mother and the other residents stability which I believe is massively

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.992) out of 10 for The Grange Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.992 for The Grange Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.992
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grange Care Centre is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
