My mother, who is almost 97, has been a resident in Grasmere Nursing Home for a year now after being in hospital for a few weeks following a fall in which she fractured her pelvis leaving her unable to walk. She has settled very well and is always telling us that it is her home now and how well she
is looked after. Washed and clean clothes every day and 'also her room!' She also enjoys the activities that are provided that stimulate her mind. We are grateful to all the staff for their care. It gives us peace of mind.
Reply from Karim Rajan, Director at Grasmere Nursing Home

Thank you for the lovely review . We are glad you can have peace of mind. I pass the review on to the Team that do an amazing job.

I wish I could give higher marks. All the staff are friendly, caring and compassionate.....what more do you want? We all got to know their names and it felt like they are a big happy family. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum feels the cold and one day they had got a big duvet for her, she looked so
cosy in it. The rooms are clean and bright and the lounge area is welcoming. The gardens are well maintained and the magnolia tree is just stunning! Mum recently left us, and saying goodbye to the staff was also quite emmotional. Big hugs all round. I am sure we could not have chosen a better place for my wonderful mum.
Reply from Kareen Rajan, Director at Grasmere Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words Judy. We loved looking after your mum, and you are a wonderful family, I'm sure she is very proud of you all.Don't forget to pop in for a coffee and a chat when you in the neighbourhood.

It has been a pleasure to have my nan in Grasmere nursing home.
I like how calm it feels upon entering and also very clean.
The staff are always very smiley and friendly making sure my nan's needs were attended to.
Even though my nan was too poorly to do the activities with the activity lady,
she had some lovely pictures made for her by another resident which was really thoughtful and it's nice to know they put this on for the residents.
Great team and a well looked after home.
Thank you for caring for my nan and for being with her right till the time of her passing. This was important that she wasn't alone.
Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Grasmere is a clean, friendly, peaceful and welcoming nursing home.
Our nan age 92 had to go into a home straight from hospital as she was end of life.
Grasmere made her stay there very comfortable and attended to her needs with care and dignity even up to the end when she passed.
As we don't live
nearby this was very comforting for us knowing she was in the right care.
Main thing we liked is that it is a light and airy home and the room she was given was nice and bright which we know would be what she would choose.
Thank you to you all.

It was one of the hardest decisions we faced putting Mum into a home, and those first few steps walking into the home. I had to hold back tears, but once in the door all the staff members made us feel so welcome and the home just has such a great warm welcoming feeling. Since that day we haven't looked
back, Mum has so well cared for all the staff are so loving and caring and treat my mum with the utmost dignity. They know me and my family so well she is always clean and tidy and has put on weight we can't thank Grasmere Nursing Home.

Grasmere has provided my frail mother with a safe environment for many months. I have been impressed with the care and dedication of all the staff. However, larger homes may benefit from extra facilities/activities.

I feel extremely relieved to have found Grasmere Nursing Home. It’s been three and half years since they took my mother in and the care and kindness she has received there has been superb. I feel that the manager and her team do everything they can, and more to ensure that the residents have the best
possible experience of being in care. I think it’s an exceptional place. I hear some terrible stories from my friends about their experiences of their relatives in residential care and am eternally grateful that mine are in Grasmere.

Grasmere is the jewel in the crown as far as myself and my four siblings think. Since our mum moved in, she has always been treated with the utmost care and respect which has also been extended to us as a family. All of the staff are warm and friendly, a cup of tea/coffee is always offered and the communication
between us is excellent. The home is clean and bright and the activities have always been superb. We couldn't be happier and it is a great weight off our shoulders that Mum is so well looked after.

Grasmere Nursing Home has been warm and welcoming since we first moved our step-father to their care. The staff are fantastic. They know their clients and go out of their way to meet their needs.
They are also great communicators and keep us informed at all times. A cup of tea is always on offer, plus
a smile and a joke.
Very happy.

My mother has been living at Grasmere Nursing Home for 20 months. As soon as you walk in the door you are welcomed with a warm and happy greeting into a very clean, friendly environment. It is very evident the nurses, carers and staff are hard working, diligent and professional with the care they provide.
Despite my mother's dementia, her health has greatly improved since residing at Grasmere. The nursing team continue to give wonderful support to us, guidance, peace of mind, always there to care and help in any way. I am very grateful to everyone at Grasmere and highly recommend this nursing home.

If it was not for my two daughters I don't think I would have been able to find such an exceptional nursing home, which I have stated before to the Matron of Grasmere. The staff are very attentive to all residents including my wife, the home is nicely decorated, always clean and smells pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.345)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.345) out of 10 for Grasmere Nursing 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.845 for Grasmere Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.845
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grasmere Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 5 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.
