Spencer Grove has recently been rated ‘Outstanding’ by CQC – February 2020. The home provides unique facilities with the very best in comfort and care in a stimulating environment. Spencer Grove provides nursing and residential care and offers both long-term and short-term (respite) care.
All bedrooms offer en-suite facilities (some including wet room shower) and can be furnished to suit the needs of the residents. Spencer Grove also has residential 'Care Suites' - offering all the benefits of residential care but contained within a beautifully appointed apartment, most with stunning, elevated views of the surrounding landscape.
For those with a love of the great outdoors the beautiful south-facing rooftop gardens provide stunning views across the Derbyshire countryside and offer a wonderful place to relax.
But the heart of Spencer Grove is its people. Staff receive extensive training so that they can deliver the best service to residents. Many have NVQ Level 2 diplomas in health and social care and also receive specialist training in end-of-life and dementia care.
Their activity co-ordinators work alongside residents to design a varied programme of activities including armchair exercise classes, painting and crafts and pampering days. Spencer Grove Care Home has an onsite hair salon and twice-weekly visits from a local hairdresser. The home also has a chiropodist who visits every eight weeks.

Spencer Grove Care Home in Belper, is in my opinion, the best there is. My nan has been a permanent resident there since September last year, the very thought of her going into a care home filled me with dread that was until I visited Spencer Grove, the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. The home is modern and extremely clean. The residents are very well looked after and cared for, I get regular updates regarding my nans well being. Apart from this she excitedly tells me when I visit all about the different activities she's taken part in which is really nice for her for example quizzes, bingo, skittles, arts and crafts, tv/dvd watching, nights at the pub, singing the list is endless. So a big thank you to all the hardworking staff at Spencer Grove for everything you do for us as a family but especially the great care you as a home provide for my nan.
Thank you for leaving a really thoughtful review of our home. We're so pleased gran is enjoying her activities and that you are happy with the care she receives.
Everyone at Spencer Grove Care Home has made, what was quite a traumatic experience for our family, an easier transition from caring for our mother at home to suddenly having to accept that she needed full time nursing care. The nursing staff have accepted our mother (although she has been quite...
I would and have already recommended Spencer Grove to anyone finding themselves in our position.
Thank you so much for leaving such a kind and thoughtful review of our home. We're so pleased you're happy with the care mum receives.
It is always a pleasure to visit, the whole site is clean and well maintained and the staff are so welcoming and friendly, like visiting family. The new market street area is a great idea and has enhanced the experience.

Mum had to have a growth removed from the side of her face right next to her eyelid which necessitated an operation under local anesthetic and a skin graft. When she'd had this done her face looked a real mess and we were worried that it might not heal. When I visited Mum at Spencer Grove Care Home a week or so after the operation her face had completely healed and you wouldn't even know she'd had anything done. This was due in no small part to the fantastic care she received from the staff at the home and in particular the nursing staff.
Thank you for leaving such a kind review of our nursing staff. I will pass your message onto them. Thank you for taking the time to review our home.

The building is very clean and well decorated with modern facilities, including a garden area and a recently renovated pub/communal area.
I would definitely recommend Spencer Grove to anyone who is having to put an elderly relative into care.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review about our home. We're super proud of what we do, and we're so pleased you feel this way. It's a pleasure looking after Mum and we're thrilled she's so happy here.
I instantly get a homely feeling when entering the building. I have visited my friend at the home for many months and the care, compassion and friendliness shown to my friend is excellent. As a visitor, I'm always made more than welcome and often have a laugh with the wonderful staff.

Thank you Jay for your kind words. We have enjoyed getting to know all of you and welcoming you to our Spencer Grove family. All the best Samantha.
The care and attention given to our mother was exceptional. Towards the end, Mum had a lot of additional needs, but she was always treated with kindness and courtesy, as were we when we visited. This applies to all the staff; nursing, catering, domestic, management, and admin.

Samantha began her career at the Milford Care group as a kitchen assistant when she was just 13. In 2018, Milford Care invested in Samantha’s future with the company by sponsoring her to follow her dream of becoming a Nurse Associate. After 3000 hours of placement and exams to become a registered nurse, Samatha passed with flying colours and continued her career in the care home.
After becoming a nurse, Samantha decided to put herself forward for the role of Spencer Grove Home Manager. With her high levels of commitment, charisma, and unwavering positivity, Samantha achieved the role. Combined with her leadership experience, management skills, and 13 years of learning Milford Care inside out, it became apparent she was the perfect fit.
