As well as being encouraged to enjoy the home's landscaped gardens, residents also enjoy regular days out and seasonal trips further afield.

Friendly, helpful staff. Had difficult times during Covid as lots of places have but continues to maintain good communication throughout. Mum says she likes staying at the home and that the ‘nurses’ are all very nice.

My mother needed a care home after a brief illness. I knew people who had been to the Grange and had been very happy with the care. On recommendation, I rang the home and found the staff answering the phone very helpful. My mother is now a resident at The Grange, she is very happy and has settled in
well. I cannot fault the staff and have been blown away by how welcome my mum and I have felt.

Finding a nursing home for a family member is not easy. My brother was unable to look himself so he had to rely on me. Everyone has been so helpful and kind. The decision to choose The Grange was the right one, my brother has been very happy and is so well looked after. I would strongly recommend this
home and so would my brother.

My mum needed a care home and The Grange came highly recommended by people in the local area. My mum has been very happy and if Mum's happy, then so am I. It was definitely the right choice for my mum. She loves the staff and enjoys being in her new home.

Mum needed rest and care after a few days in hospital, following a minor stroke. There was no question as to where she would go, as The Grange had looked after Dad so well for the last year of his life. The manager and the team welcomed Mum so gladly and gave her that crucial rest that allowed her to
get home again in good time. Wonderful care and attention are offered at any time. What a gem!

I can’t recommend The Grange highly enough. At such a sad and difficult time for us all, they cared for Mum so very well. We were kept informed of her care and any problems arising. Sadly, Mum did not get full use of all the facilities, nor was she able to fully appreciate the comfort of her room. She
did mention the lovely view of the green from her window.

My mum spent 2 weeks at The Grange for respite care earlier this year, the care and support she received was excellent - nothing was too much trouble. Mum told the manager 'Your staff are the jewel in your crown'.
Thank you for all you did to support my mum at a very difficult time for her.

My husband, for almost a year, was extremely well cared for with every courtesy, respect and loves possible, as were his family when Covid allowed us to visits. He was comfortable and content.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum required nursing home care following a stroke. The Grange was recommended as a homely and caring place and that has proved to be the case. Mum was a resident for two years until her death, and the senior nursing team and most of the staff were the same throughout that time; something we particularly
appreciated during the restrictions caused by the pandemic as we were able to have confidence Mum was in capable and caring hands. The staff have coped heroically during the pandemic and were particularly understanding and helpful during the difficult last weeks of Mum's life.

My mother was admitted as an emergency back in February, and we were, as a family just told of her admittance. We had no choice, but that choice or lack of it(!) has been the right one for mother. She is safe, secure, brilliantly looked after and supported by the team who really do genuinely care! As
a family, we are chuffed to bits! Heartly recommend The grange.

My mother-in-law has been extremely well looked after and cared for, especially during the pandemic when circumstances have been difficult for everyone. The opportunity to contact by videophone and very recently, external visits, has been very welcome and cheered up the resident as well as getting some
fresh air. The staff have worked tirelessly to keep up morale, tough for them all. General standards have been maintained at a high level and staff are cheerful, helpful and a great comfort to us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Grange were brilliant when taking our dad in. It was an awful scenario of his admission into hospital, a stay of some eight weeks, then a premature discharge. They visited in hospital and secured his placement even without a second discharge date. We were so happy that he was able to go to The
Grange literally a couple of days before lockdown.

The staff at The Grange have always been friendly and helpful, and we feel that my father could not be in a safer place with his increasing level of infirmity. Although it is a very 'homely' environment, it is run with a reassuring level of professionalism, and we cannot fault the home.

I cannot praise 'The Grange' enough for their swift response at the beginning of the 'Covid-19' outbreak, doors being shut meant not being able to visit my Mother but the staff would 'facetime' me so that I could speak with her and see that she was alright. My Mother had a very nasty chest infection
and the staff kept me up to date with her progress and the reports from the Doctor. The staff have now made provision for me to visit at a safe distance which is very much appreciated as my Mother is 93 years old with vascular dementia. I feel that the manager and her team have made excellent decisions regarding this awful outbreak and I am happy for them to continue doing what they think is best! My sincere thanks are sent to all the wonderful staff at 'The Grange' for all the hard work that they have put into protecting the residents. Thank you once again.

The care home seems to have coped well in the covid-19 virus situation. Being allowed to see my mother weekly playing within the set rules. I cannot comment on the standard of food since March, due to not being able to check it out. Staff are always helpful with requirements. Also, thanks for the staffs
continued support. Thanks again.

A great and cohesive team delivering top class nursing care in a good atmosphere. I will forever appreciate how my husband was looked after during

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at The Grange for the past year. She settled in well and that is entirely due to the kindness and expertise of the staff. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. Before the virus, the residents had regular entertainment, visits from choirs, birds of prey, even a Shetland pony!
I know that since the lockdown staff have continued to do their very best to give the residents a stimulating environment and reassurance. The standard of infection control at The Grange has been extremely high and relatives are now able to visit their relatives as long as guidelines are followed. During this unprecedented time its been a huge relief to know that my mother is safe and well cared for and has plenty of company and companionship as well as the highest standard of care from the lovely staff.

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.
