Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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 .

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

For the first few weeks she found it very hard to settle in at the residential

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.
