Pelton Grange is amazing. All of the staff make you feel welcome and have an amazing repport with Dad. Dad feels very content at Pelton and it makes leaving him each day after a visit that little bit easier. It's very much a family vibe and I couldn't be happier in my choice of care settings for him.
Reply from Fiona Wilson, home manager at Pelton Grange Care Home

Thankyou for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure looking after your dad.

My partner stayed here in January and March 2025. He has done nothing but praise the staff and facility and as a person who would previously refuse to stay in a home I am delighted that he says he would go back at any time. Staff and cleanliness are second to none.

We put our mum into this care home, as it was close to all immediate family, although the bedrooms weren't the best mum had the best care, we got mum into this home on Christmas Eve in 2023 when she was really poorly and at the point of end of life. Since mum being admitted into Pelton Grange she had
gone from strength to strength mum thoroughly enjoyed attending of all the activities within the home, and we are a family need to acknowledge the activities coordinator to be outstanding in her job role, the bedrooms within the home need to be updated and if possible ensuite, but let us say thank you for the love and care mum was given.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was a resident for two years until he passed away in November. The staff are really friendly and always made us feel welcome and included in everything. The activities that's run are amazing as are the occasion days and parties.
My dad was treated with respect, high level of care and like a
member of one big family which meant we could sleep at night. We never once worried about him being looked after.
As a family, it meant so much to us for him to return to the home at end of life so we could spend time with him alone.
The home isn't clinical or old fashioned it's like home from home.
The staff are really amazing people.
Reply from Fiona Wilson, home manager at Pelton Grange Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. This is appreciated. Your dad and all the family were a big part of Pelton Grange and will be dearly missed. We all hope you stay in touch.

We really can't thank the wonderful staff at Pelton Grange enough, for the way in which they have lovingly and diligently cared for my dear dad in his last 7 months of life. The personal attention afforded to Dad has made the traumatic transition to a care home so much easier for all our family. His
smiles and humour throughout his time at the home were indeed testament to the contentment he felt in knowing how extremely well cared for, and indeed loved, he was by all the amazing staff. This is a home that is dedicated to giving the best of attention to our loved ones, and offering friendly warmth to family members on their visits. Their hard work and commitment to their vocation is to be applauded.

The activities coordinator outstanding. The management not so, staff work hard looking after residents, attitudes towards them from some senior staff could be improved. Cook made lovely cakes/birthday cakes. On more than one occasion - Medication in dressing-gown pocket. Dressed inappropriately. Unattended.
Soiled clothing not bagged in washing bag. Commode not emptied. Same juice in jug for more than one day. Not notified if receiving treatment for wounds. Sitting alone distressed. On one occasion - Asleep, head resting on dining room table. Fish and chip dinner wrapped in pillowcase in laundry bag. Had itching rash, unexplained.

Very caring staff who look well after people and seem to genuinely care. Parents are very happy there since moving in. Staff friendly with visitors to the home. The activities lady is very good. Lots of different things to do during week but lacks activities on the weekend. Rooms could do a bit of modernisation
with laminate or vinyl flooring down rather than carpet. Would be nice for visitors to be able to get tea/coffee while in seeing relatives. The food looks lovely and portion sizes seem decent.

I can't thank enough the team at Pelton Grange for their support to my grandmother, since coming to Pelton she has been well looked after and seems to be going from strength to strength.
It really is like a family at Pelton and the food and activities are fantastic.

I have found all of the staff at the home to be very helpful and approachable. My wife had been making marked improvements until the understandable isolation of the home when they had infections requiring closure to visitors. The isolation has had a bad effect on my wife which will take a long while
to get her back to her previous position. I feel little else could be done at the home and fully acknowledge the situation.
Reply from Fiona Wilson, Home Manager at Pelton Grange Care Home

Thank you for your review of our home, its great to read that you find all of the team helpful and approachable.
We appreciate your understanding following the recent closure to visitors due to infection in the home. We know how hard it was for everyone, especially in the run-up to Christmas, but unfortunately, our actions were governed by the local infection prevention team. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to ensure that your wife continues to make the improvements you have noted as her wellbeing is paramount to us. Please do not hesitate to speak to me regarding any of your worries or concerns as my door is always open.
Take care and keep safe.

A heartfelt thanks for the support to our family as well as the excellent standard of care provided for my father in law during his latter months as he fell victim to that cruel thing called dementia. The warmth shown to us all, especially my mother in law, when visiting her husband could not have been
better and in truth, we felt like part of the "family" very quickly. Their bar of excellence is set very high from both a managerial as well as a daily carer perspective and all the staff already know how fondly we look upon them all. It is our pleasure to leave a review of the highest standard as a family and our thanks, of course, to be recorded and available for review by others looking for the same high standard of service.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.033)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.033) out of 10 for Pelton Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.382 for Pelton Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.382
  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 4.651 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pelton Grange Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.851
  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.
