Top marks in every category for Cranford Grange. It's so difficult when a parent has to go into residential dementia care, but every aspect has been incredibly well done by the magnificent management and staff.
It is a great comfort to see Mum being so well looked after

Overall Experience

I had to make the very difficult decision where to place my husband for end of life care .
He was in hospital for 6 weeks after discovering he had a brain tumour and then moved to Cranford Grange . The care and kindness he received at Cranford Grange was beyond expectation. He was treated with respect

by all staff . They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for . They also supported us through the last days of his life . For which we were very grateful.
The home is run professionally and all the residents seem very content .
I would highly recommend Cranford Grange .

Review from Brian D (Nephew of Resident) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Making the decision to move your loved one from their own home to a Care home is one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make but from the first call with the manager at Cranford Grange my mind was put at ease and I was reassured I was dealing with someone who actually cared and was interested.

One of my main concerns was how hard or difficult it would be but again from a quick chat the whole process was explained in full detail and the feeling of a weight being lifted was immediate.
When my Aunt arrived at the home we were both greeted and shown to her room, we were allowed to settle in and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.
A week later my Aunt is really happy, she's a different lady she tells me all about her day, her meals and walks me round showing me the beautiful floral displays, I attended today and she was sat in the coffee lounge having a Latte and looked so happy,
It will always be a tough decision but the manager and her team make that transition so much easier.

Review from A D (Respite Resident) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father's dementia over Christmas became more acute and we realised he was unsafe at home. One member of staff and the fantastic team worked quickly to accommodate him for 4 weeks while the family began planning.
The care he received was excellent and after a week he quickly settled in. The staff

were always friendly, professional and helpful. Dad very quickly became stable again thanks to their care.
As a nurse myself it was lovely to observe how gentle, kind and patient the staff were with the residents even during challenging moments. There was always plenty of staff around.
We were able to bring dad home with family care and support but should the situation change i would have no hesitation in contacting the staff member and Cranford Grange again.
I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. Thank you to all the team.

Review from N B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father made the decision to become a permanent resident at Cranford Grange, having successfully lived independently for some time. This was a huge change for him but it has all gone really smoothly, thanks to the dedicated and caring staff. From the moment we made the decision to the time of moving

in, we felt supported and valued.
He is really enjoying the sociable meal times and the many and varied activities.
Staff from all departments take an interest in his welfare and ensure that he is well looked after.
Even before the refurbishment was completed, Cranford Grange offered superb facilities. Now it is absolutely wonderful. I have found that there are opportunities for the residents to share their opinions and suggest activities that they would like. We feel very welcome when we visit too.
The team at Cranford clearly do care for the residents and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a care home.

Review from Karen O (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Having had a respite stay 7/8 years ago, my mother chose to return to Cranford Grange this year as a permanent resident, as she could no longer manage at home.
It was a huge change but one which has gone incredibly smoothly with heartfelt thanks to very caring staff, some wonderful residents, good

food, and the social facilities.
It's been surprising and delightful to see her being more sociable again, having become isolated in recent years, mainly due to Covid restrictions but also as she became more vulnerable due to ill health.
I would highly recommend it.

Cranford Grange is a wonderful care home. I can't praise the staff highly enough - without exception, they are caring, professional, compassionate, and friendly.

Review from Sarah H (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been an assisted living resident at Cranford Grange for the last two and a half years. Her care needs have increased during this time. The care team are exceptionally kind and caring, taking into account Mum's specific needs and adjusting the care routine to keep her calm and comfortable.

I've been kept well informed throughout about Mum's condition and the management team have also been very helpful in working with me to ensure her long-term care is affordable. It has been a huge weight off my shoulders knowing Mum is well cared for by a professional and caring team.

How we wished our lovely man had moved to Cranford Grange earlier. Everything about it was excellent, the staff, the organization, the atmosphere, even the building. If I lived nearer I would certainly sign up for a place there myself. I have visited many care homes but have never seen one of this quality

Review from Jane W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It was an extremely difficult decision to make once we had realised that Mum needed extra care and was struggling to remain independent. We took time to look around the Cheshire area and had no doubts that Cranford Grange was the wisest decision. It is a beautiful building with lovely shared spaces.

However, more importantly was the level of care and trust we've had from the staff. Mum is treated like a Queen! She has been able to decorate her room to suit her style, and a very spacious bathroom and wardrobe area. Her daily needs are met and she is treated like a friend. The staff are understanding and happy to meet her needs but also her desire to remain as independent as possible. It is spotlessly clean and always has a buzz. I have never seen people stuck in circles staring at each other, but usually enjoying a sherry before lunch, having a gossip with each other and the staff. Cranford can't possibly replace home but it is as close as we feel we could get without too much comprise.
