My experience of the South Grange Care Home is it is very welcoming as soon as you step in the front door. It's very bright and clean and gives you a good feeling about the place. The staff are very friendly and from what I see when I visit they are very helpful to the residents. I like how there
is a food menu at the front door and the choices of meals look really tasty. The residents rooms look nice and bright they are also very clean and tidy. I have been visiting for just over 6 months now and overall I think its a very well run establishment.

I felt a warm glow as I entered Mum's 'home' to help her to celebrate her 99th Birthday this month. I had travelled a 400 miles train journey to be with her and share her special day, and walk together in the warmth and friendliness to which Mum has come to feel settled in since her arrival on 10th
March 2025. The staff all know me and always give me a welcome (warm) when I arrive. Mum's room is so tastefully and thoughtfully arranged for all her personal care and enjoyments.
The activities manager arranged, and provided my friend and I to share a Birthday lunch with Mum - which Mum thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you especially to the friendly care manager.

We have been very happy with the care that my dad has been receiving since he moved into Barchester South Grange Care Home three months ago, the staff are very attentive and spend quality time with the residents individually as well as in small groups. Nothing is too much trouble and they go the extra
mile for the residents and families. They provide such a variety of activities too. My dad feels safe there.

My mother has been a resident for approx 3 months. She was made to feel so welcome as were we, her family. We brought personal items which were put into her room, pictures, a clock, bedding, and things in her toilet from her flat, everything was done for my mum moving in. The staff are wonderful. A
few weeks after moving in there was singing and dancing in the round room. One member of staff in particular, who my mum has got a soft spot for, had her up dancing with him. My mum's mobility has not been good of late, falling if she tries to get up herself. I had a tear in my eye while watching them dance. The meals are great, and Mum's appetite is back.
What I love about South Grange is, that from the minute you set foot through the front door, it is like walking into a hotel lobby. it is so welcoming and homely.
For me, it is how well my mum is cared for and she is happy. That for me is all I ask for, for her to be settled and happy.

My brother and I managed to secure a short-stay respite care placement for our 90-year-old mum in Barchester South Grange Care Home after a week's stay in hospital, when we realised she needed 24-hour nursing care until she was well enough to return home. We extended this, as she was being so well-cared
for, and decided that we couldn't provide the medical care she needed, so the only option was to give her the best chance in life by affording her continued care to meet her needs indefinitely. Initially, Mum didn't relish the idea but with encouragement from the wonderful staff from all departments, soon began to enjoy the company and some of the activities on offer. I can't speak highly enough of the management, nurses, carers and all staff who reacted quickly and efficiently re. any issues for our precious mum. Although quite a shy, quiet lady, she enjoyed the banter and close friendships with all staff. Their loving care and kindness for our mum and the family was exceptional. Thank you so much.

I came along to visit my mum today and we went through to join in with the conga line which the activity ladies had organised. What a truly wonderful afternoon, such fun doing the conga through the home, out into the garden, then back to the round room for great music with singing and dancing.
I just
want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful care staff and most especially, the fantastic activity ladies who always go above and beyond to ensure everyone has fun.
Mum has been in Barchester South Grange Care Home for eighteen months and after initially taking some time to settle in, now participates in most of the many varied activities.

We moved my mum into the Barchester South Grange Care Home only twelve weeks ago. All staff, from the beginning of her stay, were mannerable and courteous at all times. Initially, Mum would not participate in activities but then after a lot of perseverance by the staff, she attended these on a daily
basis.
The staff continually kept me up to date with anything that related to Mum and when they were asked to do anything they couldn't have been more accommodating.
Sadly, Mum passed away after the short stay but I can say that her time in the care home, after being housebound for two years, allowed a great and welcome change to her mood and allowed her the ability to involve herself with others and be outside which she loved.
Since her passing, the staff have shown tremendous understanding and empathy.
I would not hesitate to recommend South Grange Care Home.

I just want to say a huge thank all the staff at Seven Archie's for taking care of my husband in a person-centred way. Recently, I came in and found two members of staff watching our wedding video online with him, this is what I call care. He seemed so settled and happy. The staff were in tears but
that just showed how empathetic they are, it's not all about physical care but respecting the service user's image and personality prior to their current situation. My husband has been here for now nearly 4 years and I won't think of changing his care. This is the best team and they take time with their service users. To you all at South Grange Care Home, have a happy new year when it comes and thank you for caring for my husband without judging or limitations.

My worst experience of “care” ever. There were issues from day one. Lack of and miscommunication between and with staff. Lack of dignity for my mum. She went for up to 9 days without a bath or shower. On occasion her nails were dirty, her clothes stained and creased and hair a mess. She lost her ability
to stand unaided and can no longer walk. Staff thought it would be quicker to put her in a wheelchair rather than take the time she needed to get up and walk. There was not enough room in her toilet so used a commode in her room. Money went missing from her purse. Staff lied to our face. A complaint was made to the care commission. All 10 points/complaints were upheld but still, there were issues. The last straw was when mum waited over 40 minutes for the toilet. She buzzed, four staff came in and switched it off and left. I heard “You will have to wait, there are more than you here”. I heard this as was on the phone to my mum. She was crying and wet herself. She said she wanted to die. Disgusting!

My mother has been in South Grange Nursing Home until she passed away peacefully a few days ago.
The care love and attention that she has been given since entering the home in 2016 till a few days ago was exceptional by all of the staff. The length of time she was residing here certainly showed how
much she was loved and cared for. I also have to say that my sister and I were with Mum 24/7 from 8th November until the night she passed away and we were comforted and cosseted by the staff providing meals and cups of tea, they explained every step of the way the end of care Mum would receive. I cannot recommend enough this Nursing Home. The staff are exceptional and very hard working ensuring a peaceful end to her life.

The care that my husband is receiving at South Grange is outstanding. The staff understand my husband's needs and always treat him with kindness, respect and encouragement. His nurses are highly competent and I have total confidence in the nursing and medical care they are providing. There is a happy

My mother has been a resident at South Grange for one year. I chose this care home for her as she prefers modern facilities, however, she does refer to it as a 'hotel' due to the design of the building and the rooms, which are satisfactory and comfortable, but not very homely. Despite this, my mother
is well cared for by very competent staff, who are attentive, empathetic and friendly. They keep me updated with any incidents which occur and inform me of any new prescribed care and are happy to listen and act on any concerns I raise. We work together to solve any issues which may arise. In my view the daily activities are a priority, to maintain physical and mental wellbeing. South Grange has an excellent caring team, who treat their residents with respect and care for them as individuals, encouraging participation in their daily activity programme.

My wife has spent respite breaks in many local care homes. When she required full time care I contacted South Grange and my reception was the most friendly, receptive and professional. When she took up residence she felt she was in a very caring atmosphere. My regular visits were greeted with friendly

I can’t thank every staff member at South Grange Care Home enough for their kindness and support when we tragically lost my nana. My uncle is a resident at South Grange Care home, and the staff kindly took him to my nana's funeral and allowed us as a family to spend time supporting him at the care home
after the funeral. The staff went out of their way to support us. My uncle was able to feel included as part of the family, and we can’t thank you all enough for enabling this.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.199)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.199) out of 10 for Barchester South Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.552 for Barchester South Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.552

  • 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 4.647 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester South Grange Care Home is based on 11 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.647

  • 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.

Olanrewaju (Larry)

Olanrewaju (Larry) Adegbite

Job Title: Head Of Unit

Hi, My name is Adegbite Olanrewaju (Larry), and I am Head of Unit. I have been with South Grange care home, Barchester Healthcare limited since October 2021. I have a special interest in the care of the Elderly.


I trained to become a registered general nurse in Nigeria over 10 years ago and went further to bag my Bachelors degree in nursing in one of Nigeria’s renowned universities. The quest to diversify and advance in academic and professional knowledge prompted the purse of a Post graduate diploma and a Masters degree in Social work and I now have those qualifications to my credit.


As a nurse, I have worked in so many specialties, majorly the Accident and Emergency setting. I have the American Heart association certification for Basic life support (2013, 2015) and Advanced cardiac life support (2015).


As an academic, I lectured in the university setting as a junior lecturer, published/ co-published over 15 academic papers in reputable journals locally and internationally and very visible on the Google Scholar platform. Some of these publications are on the care, needs, and challenges facing the aged population.


My passion for the wellbeing of the aged population pivoted my migration the United Kingdom to work in an organized residential and care home for the elderly and I have enrolled for a second Master’s degree in Dementia Studies at the University of Hull with the view to further sharpen the necessary skills needed to support the elderly.
