My aunt seems well-cared for and is quite happy and relaxed.
There is a pleasant atmosphere and the general staff are friendly.
The management is a bit defensive and could be more approachable.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Harley Grange Care Home

Harley Grange has always provided excellent care. Since the virus lockdown, they send regular newsletters and photographs of your relative. So although you cannot visit them you can still see what they have been up to and how they are looking.

Over the last 2 1/2 years, Harley Grange staff have taken great care of my mother as if she was their own. They were very prompt in letting me know when she was near the end, enabling me to reach her in time. They also took great care of me at that time. Communication was excellent throughout and after
her stay.

My mother was discharged from hospital for end of life care and I needed to find a suitable home at short notice. I viewed Harley Grange and was immediately impressed by its facilities and response to my enquiry. The manager visited the hospital the very next morning to carry out an assessment to enable
my mother to move. Since her residence began my mother has responded very positively to the care she has received from the caring and friendly staff.

I was transferred here from hospital for up to four weeks while some equipment and installations were installed in our house. I have never lived in a care home before and this has been a very positive experience. I have joked and said I sometimes think I am in a hotel!

An information sheet giving details of schedules, programmes of events etc. should be printed and given out to facilitate various activities.

My friend has been a resident for the last 2 months. The staff have been very supportive during her difficult time accepting she can no longer live at home. They are kind and treat her with dignity. The activity facilitator tries very hard to engage the residents which can be difficult.

Visited today, Saturday, and was not impressed! Only one staff member visible, although there were others around they appeared to be hiding. One resident asked to go to the toilet and the member of staff disappeared for 15 minutes and when she returned seemed surprised nothing had been done for the
resident, who had wet herself by the time she was attended to.


Another resident was visibly distressed who was completely ignored. Nothing to occupy the residents. Only snooker on the TV. A film would have been more interesting. I have eaten with residents at meal times and the food is not good.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Harley Grange Care Home

Thank you for your comments. We take all feedback seriously and aim to provide a kind level of care at all times. I am sorry to hear on this occasion you did not have a good experience of this. In response, the home manager will be holding an investigation to find out what happened on the day and will also feedback to the team regarding the findings of the investigation. The Home Manager has asked if possible for you to contact the home to arrange a meeting so more details of the issues raised can be discussed.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Harley Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.741 for Harley Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.741

  • b) 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 Harley Grange Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
