The manager and her team provide excellent care to all the residents and visitors. The surroundings feel homely and the friendly staff are always calm, patient and understanding of the behaviours of dementia sufferers. Regular updates are given, usually by phone of events or incidents and we always
feel that everyone really does have our Mum's interest at heart.

I cannot fault the level of care at Granby Rose Care Home. My mother has been a resident for the last two years. During that time, her health has certainly deteriorated but, at every step of the way, Granby Rose has reacted to ensure she is comfortable and well looked after. All the staff are incredibly
kind with their care and generous with their time. Thank you so much, Granby Rose!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Granby Rose for just over 2 years. I find that she can be left should I not be able to visit regularly without me worrying about her. None of us want to place a parent in a home, but I know that the staff and management run Granby for the benefit of the residents.
I
know my mother is quite difficult to deal with but the staff really do their utmost to see that she is safe, clean, fed and looked after. The cleaners are perpetually fighting a battle for cleanliness given that some of the residents are incontinent. They try hard to keep on top of it.
The manager is a first-rate leader and takes enormous care of her charges. If I feel I need to speak to her with concerns about my mother, I do. The staff are always busy dealing with the residents but their attitude is one of good humour and kindness. Four Seasons is extremely lucky to have such good people and she is excellent at choosing staff who will fit her ethos of kindness and compassion,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at this wonderful nursing home since March 2024 and we are delighted with the care she is receiving.
The home is a specialist dementia care nursing unit with around 25 complex patients who are all treated with kindness, dignity and love.
The level of training the carers
obviously have is impressive and they work closely with the nursing staff ensuring that any potential illness, injury or other worries are addressed immediately.
Any falls are reported to us promptly even where no injuries have occurred and the home operates an open and transparent policy.
Added to all of this the staff are a very happy team, they all interact with the residents as if they were members of the family which I'm sure is the reason for the calm friendly atmosphere which resonates throughout the building.
My mother is always clean and presentable and so much calmer and happier than she was in her previous home, there is a massive difference between the two places!

The home is a fine example of how this type of home should be run.
The staff are both kind and considerate to both residents and visitors.
The general condition of the buildings is fine and the decor is satisfactory.
The activities section works hard to keep the residents aware and amused.
The food
is very good and plentiful.
Both the medical staff and non-medical staff are efficient and kind.
I would recommend the home to anyone requiring good medical care and a good environment.

My sister has a rarer type of dementia and complex needs. All the staff are unfailingly kind to her and treat her with dignity. She is settled at Granby Rose, which as a smaller, more intimate unit suits her much better than our experience at a previous care home.

My mum, who has early onset Alzheimer's is a resident at Granby Rose.
I could not be happier with the care she has received there, or praise the staff highly enough.
After seeing Mum struggle in more clinical settings, it is wonderful to see her in a place as homely and welcoming as Granby.
Mum
receives excellent care from the staff in general and her assigned 1:1 carers as well. Since being there, she is eating properly and sleeping well.
Unfortunately she is prone to falls and minor illnesses, but the staff have always kept us aware of this and been prompt in calling in a GP when needed.
The home also allows visitors to bring in dogs, and seeing our family dog has been a major boost for Mum.

Every member of staff is kind and friendly, always prepared to go the extra mile for residents and their families. The atmosphere

Without a doubt, Granby Rose is second to none!

Granby Rose not a name that I was familiar with but one I will never forget. My husband arrived here 12 days before Christmas and the first thing I felt was the love from all the staff, it became my second family. The care that the residents receive is outstanding. I will never be able to thank enough
the manager and all the staff for the wonderful way they looked after my husband, myself and the family.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My husband moved into Granby Rose in Spring 2023. He was mobile, alert, engaged and questioned everything - I wish I had listened to the voices in my head telling me to take him home with me. His upset and fear were evident from the start but management told me he was just settling in and getting used
to his new surroundings which can take time! He quickly became less mobile, less engaged, very drowsy and mostly incoherent and within 4 weeks, following several falls, substantial weight loss and Safeguarding issues raised by our Mental Health nurse, his health had declined considerably and continued to do so until after 3 months he was moved. He never recovered from his ordeal and sadly passed away. His considerable distress whilst at Granby Rose still haunts me. Granby Rose failed us and sadly that cannot be undone. I wish I could give less than one star in this review as many of the staff were lovely.

Review from Freya H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Sad to have to write a poor review. My grandpa was in this home for 2 weeks until the mental health nurse came and was appalled and told us we needed to find alternative care.
My grandpa has mixed dementia and is able to communicate. Our concern was how much communication he would receive in which
we were ensured by management that he would receive - yet to be seen. My grandpa has deteriorated massively within the 2 weeks.
Sadly his independence was taken despite family members explaining he was able to feed himself (and this also been shown when we took him out for lunch during his stay and he was able to feed himself with prompts and reminders that it is his to eat)
Lack of fluids - his fluid chart was very rarely filled in. A few days were blank and many days stated he only had 2 drinks all day which was poor especially when he had an infection of his leg. We had left a bottle of juice and both times still full the next day.
Some of the staff however were lovely.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for Granby Rose Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.668 for Granby Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (230 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.668
  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 Granby Rose Care Home is based on 22 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 22 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.
