From our initial visit, we felt very happy and assured that my husband would be cared for, loved and looked after, we were proven right I couldn't have asked for better or more. Furthermore we as a family felt very welcome on visiting and were looked after leading to and after his death, even to seeing his body leaving the residence and "preparing " his room for the family and myself to depart with a peaceful heart.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your heartfelt comments during such a difficult time. It was our privilege to care for your husband and to help make his time with us as comfortable as possible for both him and the wholer family. Please know that you will always be welcome at Cranford Grange, and we would be delighted to see you whenever you wish to visit.
My sister and I had to make the incredibly difficult decision to put our mum into care as her Alzheimer's became increasingly difficult to manage at home, even with the support of her carers. It was a decision we found extremely hard to make, and we looked at a lot of care homes before finding...
From the moment we visited, we were both so impressed. The home was beautifully clean, welcoming and had such a lovely atmosphere. Dawn and Jenny were absolutely wonderful. They gave us so much time, understanding and reassurance while we were making such a difficult and emotional decision.
Since Mum has moved in, we have been so impressed with the care she receives and the wonderful range of activities. We also love the app, which allows us to see what Mum has been getting up to during the day. It gives us such reassurance and helps us feel involved, even when we can't be there . Cranage grange should be the standard of all care
Thank you again for your kind comments. They mean a great deal to our team, and we all truly appreciate your feedback.
My mum spent 18 months at Cranford Grange before her recent death. Her care there could not have been better. I am so happy that we found such an amazing place for mum to be looked after during her final months. The home itself looks impressive from the outside and is surrounded by beautiful...
However the main positive features of Cranford Grange are the wonderful staff, not only those who cared for mum but the managers, cleaning and laundry staff as well as those in reception. They appear to be a close knit group focussed on providing wonderful care for the residents.
The care staff who looked after mum were nearly all there for her 18 month stay and all were very special people with such a professional, kind and caring approach.
I will never forget them and thank them for their amazing work.

My mum has now had the fortunate opportunity to be in Cranford Grange for just two weeks now.
From the moment I started researching surrounding Care homes in Cheshire the moment that I stepped through the door at Cranford I knew that I really wanted to be able to bring Mum into one of the most beautiful and calm homes for her needs.
Luckily, we were able to get a room thanks to Dawn and her team at literally the last minute which enabled me to have real peace.
The team have made my mum felt so cared for, at home and a ease in what has been a really challenging moment as a daughter. ,
The bedroom, the lounge, the beautiful gardens and all her care needs are way beyond anything that we had expected and it actually gives me real solace to know that she is taken care of by a lovely team of human beings.
Thank you, Dawn and the team you are angels.
We are delighted that your mum is enjoying her stay...

The surroundings at Cranford Grange contribute greatly to a sense of well-being.
The communal and outdoor spaces are lovely, and the care provided by the staff is exceptional. This included medical and nursing input when needed.
We were always made to feel most welcome as visitors. The provision of tea, coffeee etc is a small thing but always appreciated.
The quality of communications from the staff and management team has been exemplary throughout. Again, many thanks.

My mum was not a great mixer ,but loved building relationships with exceptional staff. She had a lot of fun with them.
As her health deteriorted those relationships she had built meant she was surrounded by people she trusted and who really cared for her. Her final days were peaceful and very comfortable. All our family were well supported too
I have visited a lot of care home in my professional life and I have to say this is the best I have seen.
Thank you to everyone-the staff we got to know, and all the people in the background who made her final days so comfortable.

The quality of the home's facilities and the excellent catering provides all residents a very comfortable life, irrespective of their specific needs. E.g. my mother has a need for soft food and what she is given always looks and tastes as inviting as the normal menu. They make a real effort to ensure that.
As I live abroad it's not as easy to visit and follow up Mum's care and needs as much as I wiuld like, but having her as a resident at Cranford Grange has always given me total peace of mind that she is in the absolute best place she could be now.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience over the past seven years, we are delighted to have had the privilege of caring for your mother throughout this time. We take great pride in the quality of care we provide, and your kind words mean a great deal to our team. Thank you again for your lovely feedback and continued trust in us.

Mum moved into Cranford Grange when she lost her partner in February. Unfortunately, she had a major stroke in early March and passed away in May but despite that difficult end to mum's long and happy life, the care she received was nothing short of outstanding, ensuring she had dignity and peace. The surroundings are simply beautiful for the residents and a pleasure to visit for the families but it is the love, care and friendliness of the staff that is the highlight. The whole team should be proud of the peace of mind you gave to me and my family, knowing that mum was in the best of hands as well as the support we received from you, especially in the final days. I would unreservedly recommend it for anyone wishing for the best for their loved ones.

Mum's stay was for respite whilst her husband was recuperating, and I wouldn't hesitate to consider it if care was to be needed in the future. Everyone, staff and residents were cheerful and friendly. Thank you so much for putting our minds at rest at this difficult time.

My parents moved into Cranford Grange in December last year. Mum has Alzheimer's and although Dad can live independently he needs a bit of help day to day. From the day they moved into their companion suite the care and kindness they have received has been second to none. Nothing is too much...
Cranford Grange is beautifully appointed and every member of staff cares about their surroundings. Mum and Dad are encouraged to join in with the many activities offered, but are allowed to be on their own if that is what they want. I can't thank all of the team enough, just to know that they are safe and well cared for is such a relief for me.
Sincerely thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are delighted that to hear the team provide high quality personalised care for your parents. We take great pride, and truly appreciate and valued your comments. Thank you and its a pleasure to have the company of your parents at Cranford Grange.

My parents recently came into stay at Cranford Grange.

It is as beautiful as the brochure suggests - more like a five-star hotel - but what truly impressed us was the warmth of the staff and the comfort of the residents. Mum's eyes lit up when she saw it.
She was welcomed with kindness from day one. Staff were consistently cheerful and attentive, bringing meals to her room and even preparing food she "fancied" as her appetite declined. She could still watch her beloved tennis and golf, which meant a great deal.
At Christmas the home felt magical, and throughout her stay she was treated with dignity and compassion. Mum passed peacefully last week, and we are deeply grateful for the care and support shown to her and to us.

My mum moved into Cranford Grange for terminal nursing care. She had insisted throughout her diagnosis that she wanted to end her days at home. However, she made the decision to move, immediately feeling at "home" in her new surroundings and very comfortable in every way, from her room, her bed,...
It didn't stop at Mum, as family we were fed in every way with food, kindness, and even hugs!
The teamwork and professionalism we witnessed were second to none, from everyone. My dad was asked what the staff were like and he said you can't call them staff they are friends!
The atmosphere in the building is one of peace and happiness and we cannot thank everyone who cared for mum enough for the amazing end to an amazing life you enabled
