Mum was well looked after in her time at Alice Grange and treated with care, dignity and respect by all staff, particularly in the last year. Whilst at Alice Grange, mum was always treated as an individual rather than a number. She really looked forward to the activities, particularly scrabble, (where she thought she had a good chance of winning!) as well as the ones where music and singing were involved. She always enjoyed looking out from her room at the garden to see what was changing and when the weather was warmer, going round the garden with the aid of her walking frame to see what was coming into flower. The garden visits in the warmer weather and the visits in the indoor suits the rest of the time, were all well organized, in a safe and socially distance way. Many thanks.

The staff have adapted to a new way of working, in order to keep the residents, themselves and visitors safe, whilst still feeling involved and in contact.
I enjoy living here and I have been here for just over 3 years. There is always something going on and a variety of activities. The staff are very good and understanding and caring. There is always someone you can talk to and this puts me at ease.

We found your overall care and consideration to be of a high order with most of the staff very friendly and thoughtful. We were made to feel special and individual. The building and setting is very good indeed. You, and we, were unlucky to experience a virus restriction which with the initiation of 7 days behind our door took the shine off things, no ones fault! One problem was difficult in communication with all levels of staff no house telephone system and no movement between floors allowed.
The Current virus problem has led to shortages of staff. The staff have been caring for their colleagues very well. Everyone has made a good effort.

My mother spent the last 2 years of her life at Alice Grange where she was very well cared for. The home is purpose-built. Her room was spacious and well laid out and made homely with her pictures, furniture and belongings. For the last few months of Mum's life she moved to a more compact room, better for close monitoring and higher level nursing. We were grateful, that the management showed great understanding through Mum's final days and we were able to spend a lot of time at her side. Throughout her residence there seemed a close bond between the staff and Mum, which was very reassuring indeed.
Andrew, thank you for your lovely review. Your comments will mean the world to the team who were very fond of your mum. We are so glad that we were able to be there for her in her final days. If we can do anything more to support you then please get in touch.
Thank you so much for all the amazing and important work that your team has been doing during the pandemic. I speak with my mum regularly each week and she is very happy, comfortable, safe and well cared for. This is huge and I really appreciate it.

It was great to be able to have the visit as several previous visits had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.
When I was ill the staff took great care of me and I must have been offered 50 cups of tea! I was very impressed. I am also very pleased with the chef's cooking, he is very kind to me, the food is much better than a year ago.

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.

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.
