The Grange has made significant steps forward in the last two years. Carers are professional and well trained. The atmosphere is positive and supportive - in particular excelling in activities and day-today involvement of residents. The food is also excellent and much appreciated. Management have invested
in gear and technology over the last 2 years and can only be commended for that effort and the building of positive culture.

Each time I visit my mum, everyone is so welcoming and I get updated how mum is, and what sort of night she's had. The staff are all so helpful, friendly and caring. Mum loves the meals, and she receives regular drinks. The management are always very helpful, it puts my mind at ease knowing mum is being
looked after with kindness and care.

All the staff are excellent in the way they care. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. They are always polite and certainly on the ball. The activities they arrange for their residents are excellent. Always celebrating birthdays and significant religious days across all religions, trips
out which they certainly enjoy!

We couldn't be happier with the care my mother has received since moving to The Grange Residential Home in September 2023. The staff are welcoming, compassionate, and truly attentive, making her feel right at home. The activities offered are well-organised and engaging, giving her opportunities to make
friends and enjoy each day. Seeing her smiling, happy, and sharing stories of her experiences brings us such peace of mind. Thank you, to the Grange management and care team, for creating a caring, joyful environment where my mother can thrive. We're so grateful to know she's in such good hands!

My dad has been a resident at The Grange since August 2023, we are very happy with the care my dad receives, we don't have to worry about him as we know Dad is being well loved after. Dad enjoys the meals and joining in with the daily activities, the activities facilitator is absolutely brilliant. The
care home is very clean and has been recently redecorated throughout. The staff are very kind and friendly and the home is very well run. We often joke that we wouldn't mind staying there for a week! I would highly recommend The Grange as a care home.

My impression of the nursing home is excellent. The staff are very friendly and caring in nature to me and to the patients. I am happy that my mother is being cared for with kindness and compassion and that her dignity is being upheld. The environment is pleasant, clean and homely. Whilst my mother
is not in a position to participate in organised activities it seems they are beneficial. I was pleased to see in my mum's room some of her personal possessions. The food presented at meal times looks appetising and plentiful. I am impressed with the carers' patience at feeding time.

After our initial visit to The Grange, I knew my dad would be happy living there. The staff are so happy and friendly! The activity co-ordinator is amazing and there is always something exciting happening. The living area is bright, airy and spacious. The food looks delicious and there is lots of outdoor
seating which the residents are encouraged to use. My dad has mixed dementia and has many needs. I feel happy these are being met and he is being well looked after. We love to visit and are made very welcome!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been living at The Grange for just over a year. She has settled really well and likes the staff and they seem to like her! She has complex physical and mental needs and says that the staff are very kind in the way they look after her. Their attention to her personal care is good. They
are professional, cheerful, approachable, dedicated, patient and well-organised. This is a happy place.
The Grange has recently been decorated in the corridors downstairs and the lounge has had a makeover which looks really good and lends itself better now to the many activities which go on each day, organised by the wonderful Coordinator. Tasty food is cooked on-site daily.
There is a beautiful well designed garden with access through the lounge but I feel this is very underused in good weather in summer and think that the residents could benefit from enjoying these surroundings and being outdoors as routine. I don’t know if there are staffing issues which prevent this from happening.

My Mum was admitted to The Grange for emergency respite care in March 2023 and was not able to return home. I feel fortunate that The Grange had a room available at the time. I have noticed, on my regular visits that all the care home staff know and use my Mum's first name and greet her with a smile.
Her individual needs and preferences are taken into consideration. Kitchen staff produce amazing, tasty food which my Mum really enjoys. The birthday cake they made for her was gorgeous. Carers and support staff have always been warm, friendly and welcoming towards us. The Grange does feel like 'home from home'

When my grandad was moved to The Grange we were apprehensive at first but we had no need to worry. Although he was only there a short time before he passed away, the staff were nothing short of compassionate, understanding, attentive and above all else caring. This was not just reserved for Grandad
but to all of our family as well. We were able to spend Grandad's last few days by his side in the comfort of a beautiful garden view room and we were always made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. The staff really are a credit to their profession and The Grange exceeded our expectations in so many ways. There are not enough words to show our gratitude but we will be forever thankful to them for showing my grandad, and us, how care really should be given.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for The Grange Residential 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.772 for The Grange Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.772
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grange Residential Home is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2020

Hi! I’m Ellie and I am the deputy manager at The Grange. I joined the team in March 2020 with 17 years of social care experience, the majority of which being in residential homes or domiciliary care and within various roles, starting as a young and somewhat wet behind-the-ears support worker! I worked hard and underwent a host of training to become skilled and knowledgeable in the social care sector and that is how I have come to be in my current role, sharing that knowledge with our friendly, hardworking and dedicated staff. Besides being a football mum to 2 beautiful girls, spending time with family and friends and enjoying sunny and snowy holidays, there is nothing more important to me than seeing our service users happy and enjoying their lives at The Grange which is why person-centred, high-quality care is at the forefront of everything we do, creating a real home from home environment.
