Overall Experience

My mother in law has been here for nearly a year now and she has been really happy. She has the odd day where she asks to go home but generally she is very happy and settled. She enjoys the group activities with the activities coordinator and has made friends with other residents.

Review from Paul H (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 4 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from S U (Sister of Resident) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

The care has been superb. All the staff, all levels of staff, connect very well with the residents. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Diet, hydration and skin care are all taken very seriously. Feedback from staff is excellent. Staff are friendly and polite to me, the son of a resident. Not all residents are easy but the staff handle the, with kindness and gentleness and treat them in a compassionate and dignified way.

Review from Paul M (Nephew of Resident) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Due to an in-ability to look after themselves (Dementia), my Aunt and now late Uncle were admitted in December 2013
First impressions were not of a swish, modern home, but a caring peaceful environment where they have both been well looked after.
The staff have always been very patient and kind, and management fair and communicative .
They have moved rooms now three times, for improvement at the homes recommendation, and my Uncle was latterly very difficult/challenging to care for!
The home has undergone significant upgrading of windows decoration etc (that we can see) in this time.

I would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending it to those looking for care for their loved ones .

Review from Marlene (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident at then nursing home since February 2015, suffering from dementia. I had no hesitation in placing her at The Grange. As I live abroad I can only visit several times a year, but I found that she has been extremely well cared for in a homely environment and now I get regular updates as to her wellbeing.

When visiting I have always been greeted by friendly smiling staff. The atmosphere is very calm and I know that my mother is getting the very best of care and all her needs catered for. I would like to thank all the staff at The Grange.

Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

First impression- A fine looking house with picturesque surroundings mature trees etc. Always greeted by staff with a smile and an unhurried attitude. A friendly, calm atmosphere. The only suitable room for my mother faced a brief wall and was rather gloomy, though immaculately clean. This was acknowledged by the manager and promised a move as soon as a better room became available. I was allowed to put our own curtain and bedding in. On admission it was recognized mother had had no lunch and she was fed with appropriate pureed food. At all times mother's need have come first. The nursing care has been of a very high standard. My own requests have been listened to with sympathy regarding end of life care and passed on to the visiting doctor. I therefore feel she is in very safe hands and have no worries about her continuing care.

Overall Experience

My father was admitted to The Grange in September 2015, he had been diagnosed with dementia, he seems very happy there and he was well cared for. For the first few weeks he seemed OK he ate well and was always on the move, in Dec he had a couple of falls which resulted in him being bed ridden, he deteriorated from then and passed away Feb 8th 2016 he was kept comfortable and looked after very well up to his passing. The staff were excellent, always on hand to help him, feed him and keep him clean i could not praise them more highly. Thank you all staff at The Grange.

Review from Eileen H (Wife of Resident) published on 23 February 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My husband has been a resident since June 2015, coming to The Grange after 5 weeks in the LRI subsequent to a fall. He has Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinsons. He is unable to walk or feed himself, and I have been so impressed with the kindness and care given to my husband by all the staff, who at times have to cope with some challenging behaviour due to the nature of his illness. My husband has been a lifelong vegetarian, and the staff go out of their way to see he has appropriate meals provided.

My experience of The Grange Nursing and Residential home is very good. My Dad is very happy and is always found to be lovely and clean. I cant fault the cleanliness of the place at all and the staff and management are very caring and polite on the visits to see Dad. He really enjoy the exercise class twice a week and the sing along's. Dad is happy, so we're happy.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives, which is second to none. The staff are always on hand to help and although I have a 50 mile round trip to see my mum I wouldn't have her staying any where else. I feel relaxed when I have to go.

Overall Experience
My wife who has vascular dementia has been in the Grange for nearly two years and during this time has been very well looked after.
Both the Management and Staff have a very caring and positive attitude and she could not be in a better place.
Everyone is so kind and caring and I am reassured that she is in such a safe environment.

Nothing is too much trouble and all her needs are catered for.

Mum didn't spend long at The Grange only four months. The staff/nurses were wonderful. I now wish we had gone to The Grange rather than the other hoe mum was in for three years.

Overall Experience

This was my first experience of a Care Home when my mother was admitted for Respite Care. I was pleasantly surprised and need not have worried. Mum settled fairly quickly and enjoyed her food for the first time in weeks. The staff respected her desire for privacy and were patient when she was stubborn.

Overall Experience

We visited numerous Care Homes in the Leicester area, but are delighted that we found this one. The owners and all the staff are excellent,polite and respectful towards my Mother and being a regular visitor they also show the same kindness to the other residents at all times. I would highly recommend The Grange at Saddington without hesitation.

Review from Martin B (Son of Resident) published on 23 July 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been in this care home for 3 years and 3 months. In that time I have visited her 3 to 4 times per week at various times of the day. I have always been impressed with her care and also note the care given to other residents. At this moment my mother does not require nursing care but has dementia. She is settled and now regards this facility as her home. I am vigilant to her requirements but in the main these are always taken care of by the members of staff. I would have no problem in recommending this home to her prospective residents and their relatives.

My wife has been a resident in the home since January 2015 with a severe left sided stroke and vascular dementia acute right MCA infarct Myeloproliferative disease, congestive cardiac failure hypertension and CKD stage 3. For the first few weeks she found it very hard to settle in at the residential home but now as her conditions have improved slightly she has now found it more tolerable in the last few weeks and is now coming to terms with the situation.

Ellie Grace Probert
Ellie Grace ProbertJob Title:Deputy ManagerJoined: 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.
