Good care, pleasant setting and food. Only comment buzzers left sounding in the corridor disturbing. Use corridor terminal displays to show small flashing light in place of buzzer to avoid disturbance.

Mum has been here for over five years. The staff are always very welcoming when I visit. The care Mum receives is very good. The activities have improved recently as they have a new activity manager.

The staff were very attentive and kind. Staffing levels appeared good. Procedures were professional and logical. The decor of the home was modern and appealing with specific features designed to help residents. The layout of the home is good with the residential community on the top floor. Access between floors by lift. A good range of activities but with fewer at weekends, the missing factor here was physical exercise for residents especially those that need encouragement for their health. Food menus were very good (English) but sometimes portion sizes were small.

I am the General Manager of Alice Grange. Inspiring and leading the onsite team and ensuring high standards of governance and compliance are my responsibility for overall service.
Over the last 14 years, I have had the privilege of serving the healthcare sector by managing and leading frontline care services for our elderly population. I have come into contact with many individuals who have willingly shared their life experiences and wisdom. This has reinforced my sense of duty and heightened my level of respect for our elders.
My passion is person-centred care. I truly believe in the values of responsibility, integrity, kindness, compassion and doing what we can do for others. I love to see my residents happy with full smiles on their faces, content and having a quality of life whilst in our care.
The team and I are fully committed to embedding the core principles of empathy, care, compassion and integrity in the Alice grange community.
My door is always open: do not hesitate to come and talk to me, should you need anything.

Hello, my name is Rashmi.
I worked as a carer from 2010 and then qualified as an RGN in 2013. I have always worked in Dementia Care through a number of different settings including hospitals and other care homes.
I started working at Alice Grange in 2020 and I love it here. Barchester care homes have much better facilities and people than many other settings. The management and staff here work really well together and it means this is a brilliant home to work in.
I am now privileged to be part of the team on our Memory Lane community, where we strive to make sure that each resident feels at home and that each family knows their loved one is being looked after by truly caring professionals.

Joined on December 2022 with Alice Grange team. Worked with NHS and had various experiences with finance. At present, enjoying working with the Alice Grange and of course with the resident and family.
