Review from N S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum entered The Grange Residential Home in January 2023 and from day one, our minds were put at rest that she was being cared for and she was loved by staff and other residents. Mum settled well and celebrated her birthday a month later with staff and residents and a lovely cake baked by the chef. Mum
enjoyed the activities led by the activities coordinator who goes above and beyond her position. Management and staff show such care with their residents and their families. I could go on and on, The Grange is so much more, I even joke with staff I am booking a bed for a rest and great food, especially the puddings.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was at the care home for respite at first, she loved it so much that when the time came we could no longer care for Mum's needs at home (due to dementia). We had no hesitation for Mum to be a permanent resident at The Grange, even though it meant as a family we had a bit of a journey to and fro.
Mum
was really happy there and cared for. There were some carers Mum really got attached to and they all really cared for Mum. Mum loved her food and the food at The Grange is exceptional (we know we tried it).
At the end of life, the care was shown to us too. Nothing was too much for them, we could be with Mum 24/7 (which we did) they looked after us so well at the most difficult time. We could never thank them enough and would definitely recommend this care home to anybody we know going through the same as us.
Thanks to all the staff at The Grange in Saddington.

Review from Michael C (Husband of Resident) published on 29 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been a resident since November 2019 and has always been treated with compassion and kindness by all staff. Recently, despite receiving Coved 19 vaccinations, she tested positive for it and had to self isolate for 10-days. She was confused and could not understand why she had to remain in
her room, and a member of staff had to explain each day why she has to remain in isolation. The staff deserve credit for their patience and support to her. She did not suffer any Covid symptoms, which I put down the vaccination and its benefits.


During the last 12 months, the lockdown has meant that relatives were unable to visit, and the staff have managed to keep all residents fully occupied, this is more than evident in the display of photographs and videos on the Facebook website showing how well the residents were entertained during this period.
They all deserve our heartfelt thanks!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was in The Grange for a few days for respite while my husband had a small operation. The welcome was very friendly and reassuring. All the staff (including cleaners and the chef) were very professional and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt like I was in someones home and not an institution.
Obviously, there was a variety of needs but the staff were always willing to accommodate individual requirements.

All staff at The Grange are very caring, dedicated and passionate about peoples needs with great dignity. Work good with team leader and part of that team, nothing is too much trouble to ask. They have a job to do and just get on with it. You can approach management at ease if you have any concerns
and they get dealt with at once.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They were very good with us with getting my Uncle settled in and looking after him. He's made new friends and is quite happy. We're kept fully informed on how things are going. Activities regularly take place for residents. The owners are in the process of adding new
facilities for the benefit of the residents. Very pleased with the establishment.

Review from Julie R (Niece of Resident) published on 13 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Uncle has been at The Grange for nearly 2 years. The family that own it are so kind and respectful to all the residents and me and are on site nearly every day. They are always trying to improve The Grange both inside and out to make life better and easier for the residents. The Manager helped me
so much in the first year through such a difficult time with forms and paperwork from solicitors, the social services and the Courts and in understanding my uncle's illness - which initially I had no knowledge of. The staff are always helpful and there is always a registered nurse on site to help me with any concerns over my uncle's illness. My Uncle has settled in well and I don't think he would want to be anywhere else. Relatives that have lost loved ones at The Grange still continue to visit because everyone feels like one big family. I have already recommended The Grange to my partner and his Grandma has been there nearly a year.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When my uncle arrived at The Grange Nursing and Residential Home he was very poorly and in need of care.
He was eating very little, drinking very little.
He did not want to speak to anyone - all he wanted to do was sleep.
He was showing signs of dementia.
The staff at the home have nursed him efficiently
and his improvement is considerable.
I thank the staff for this.

This care home was used after an unannounced visit by my brother and I. We found that the staff were extremely kind and caring and nothing was too much trouble for both the staff and management. Throughout my father's stay, he was looked after very well even down to them making a birthday cake for him.
When we visited he was always clean, tidy and dressed and his medical treatment was second to none. I would have no qualms in recommending this premises to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My elderly friend and neighbour came to live at The Grange Nursing & Residential Home after a month in hospital suffering from sudden-onset acute confusion and having collapsed at home. The Grange was highly recommended to us, and the staff there have been unstintingly kind and supportive, despite his
periods of unhappiness when he has been difficult to manage. The owner-manager and his mother make a strong leadership team, and their managers (previously) and now the new manager lead the nursing and other care staff to provide excellent care for their residents. Moreover for anyone interested in languages, the opportunities to learn a few words of (or to practice one's) Romanian, Hindi and other languages with members of staff are also most welcome.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother, who has dementia, was put into respite care at extremely short notice. The management were helpful and reassuring at this stressful time., The staff were very caring and looked after my brother with dignity and understanding. He was kept clean and well looked after. We would phone and talk
to him whenever we wanted and they gave updates on his condition and how settling in and they told the truth e.g if it was a bad day why and what happened.
Cannot fault staff and management without their support we would have been lost.

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.
