My mother is new to the home. All the staff have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome. Staff are committed to learning what Mum needs with her limited communication, gaining her trust and maintaining her dignity ad comfort. I have been very reassured by the professional and caring approach and commitment to ongoing communication. However, I do ask that staff continue to remain very calm and kind with Mum when she is frustrated and challenging. Please just give her time and company.

I stayed at Alice Grange for a week's respite whilst renovations were completed at my home which was local to the home. I brought my own need and hoist etc. I found the room small due to the size of my bed and I was unable to access the external door. I also had a toe injury and this was treated well by the nursing staff. I found all the carers very friendly and was happy with them helping me. My hoist is not the usual one but they were all happy to use it with my guidance.
Absolutely excellent, couldn't wish for better care.

I have visited several friends in different care homes all of which are not a patch on Alice Grange. Everything about it is absolutely perfect. The staff are always there but in the background. Unobserved by me but always there when needed.

We are very happy with the home. The staff are very professional, kind and caring. They are thoughtful towards my husband and me. The home is furnished to a high standard and very clean.

I am perfectly satisfied in all respects. The reason I have not given the activities rating is that I am writing a book and prefer to use my time on my computer.

Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff, from the lady who runs Barchester Alice Grange Care Home, the lady that fills up the coffee and the nurses and care staff, they are all just lovely. Thank you for everything!

We have been really pleased with the level of care that Alice Grange has been able to deliver for my very poorly wife. All the staff work tirelessly to ensure that all my wife's needs are met. When issues arrive and staff are made aware they are very quick to find solutions and do not ignore requests or concerns as previous homes we have been to have done in the past. All the residents seem happy and relaxed which, we feel, is down to the cheerful, positive attitudes of the carers. The activities provided are well-planned and appropriate with excellent variety. The staff are really enthusiastic and engage the residents effectively. The food is excellent.

My room was spacious and very comfortable.
There was a good choice of meals available. It was only on the Sunday that I felt the staff were rather stretched.
I would be more than happy to visit again should the need arise and would recommend it to my friends.
I came back here at Alice Grange for another round of respite. The experience became more outstanding. The staff are very helpful and have lots of activities. The food is much appetising. I will be looking to be permanent here and would like to give Alice Grange 5 stars.

This review relates solely to the efforts of the activities coordinator and her team went to make my Mum’s 100th birthday party a memorable occasion. This was in spite of the difficulties created by the Covid outbreak in the home and the heat. I am sure that when Mum has had time to reflect on the day’s events, she will realise what hard work and commitment the staff have made. A big thank you also goes to the chefs for making the cakes and catering for the family lunch.

Dad entered the care home in April 2021 and was met with smiling faces which was good as he was very apprehensive about going. He settled in well and received excellent care. I speak regularly to the manager and along with other staff, I find them very helpful and friendly. I'm glad I brought my dad to Alice Grange.
I was made very welcome and I was able to bring my own bed, chair and books. This made the move much less difficult for me. The staff were very understanding and have really made a massive difference to my well-being. They are kind and helpful and they are good people and know the best for me.

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 Grace and I have worked at Alice Grange as one of the Senior Nurses since 2012.
I have recently accepted the role of Deputy Manager and am very proud to be able to continue to work with the team at Alice Grange.
I love my role here and I am fortunate to have a hardworking team that sees the residents as extended family. I enjoy taking the time to learn as much as possible about each new resident from their families and themselves.

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.
