Waverley Grange offers round-the-clock care for people who require nursing, residential, respite care as well as care for people living with Parkinson's.

Voted one of the UK’s top 100 luxury care homes 2021 and featured in the prestigious annual 'UK Luxury Care Home Guide', Waverley Grange allows residents to retain independence while enjoying a vibrant social atmosphere.

Residents can curl up in the library, have a manicure in the salon, or watch a classic on the big screen. There is even a chapel and a café.

The gardens are perfect for a stroll, perhaps to visit the chickens. There is an allotment where residents can grow produce or relax on the patio when the sun is out.

The friendly team work together to make sure everyone’s stay is as comfortable as possible, whether that’s for a few days of respite or longer term.

There’s a real focus on looking after each resident’s wellbeing, including support for their physical, mental and spiritual needs.

Enjoyable mealtimes, lots to do and plenty of opportunities to socialise make this a very special place to be. Friends and family are always welcome to pop in for a catch-up or to join in with whatever’s going on.

The team of activity coordinators plan a varied and interesting programme. There is something for everyone, including those who are less mobile.

The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. From pets therapy, music and gentle exercise to visiting performers there is lots going on and anyone is welcome to pop in and join in, whether a friend, relative or loved one.

Review from Angela C (Friend of Resident) published on 1 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Waverley Grange care home is excellent! I cannot praise it enough. My friend's mother sadly needed respite care at short notice and was very lucky to get a place. The staff were excellent. They went above and beyond doing everything possible to care for my friend's mother, daughter and family when they
visited. Her daughter was with her daily as she sadly deteriorated over a few weeks and died in July 2016. The nurses and staff provided wonderful support physically and emotionally. They were all brilliant. They cared for my friend's mother as if she were one of their own family. It is clean modern and homely. We looked at other homes but this was the best. We knew from the start when manageress stayed late one Friday evening to show us round. She could have put us off but did not because she cares. She cares about people and loves to help them. All the staff were like this including the nurse, and the male nursing/care assistants.

Review from Lesley (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident in the nursing area since Sept 2015. She came in a very poorly, undernourished, scared lady having had 3 months in hospital with cancer and complications. She is unrecognizable now - she is eating healthy food and lots of it. She has responded to careful caring nursing,
she is happy due to the staff who are excellent and now takes part in weekly activities. The team are to be thanked for their tireless effort to care, above the call of duty.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Waverley Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.835 for Waverley Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.835
  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 Waverley Grange Care Home is based on 22 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
