Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Seacroft Grange Care Village: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.1 (maximum of 10) for Seacroft Grange Care Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Seacroft Grange Care Village in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.358 for Seacroft Grange Care Village is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.358
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.789 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Seacroft Grange Care Village is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 19 positive Reviews (95 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 15 Reviews ÷ 19 Target = 0.789
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Seacroft Grange Care Village has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.147) from 16 Reviews

Highly recommend Seacroft Grange for the loving care provided for Dad. We were all welcomed from day 1 and felt like it was 1 big family. The carers are always polite and friendly and could not do enough for Dad and for us. We know he has been well looked after and would recommend to anyone looking for a home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Andrew P (Husband of Resident) on Thursday 18 January 2018. Relates to December 2017.
My wife has been a resident for almost a year with dementia and Parkinson disease. She has made consistently positive comments about the food and her body weight is stable now (compared to fairly rapid weight loss over the preceding year). There is good access to medical support from the local GP service with one of the Gp's visiting the home twice a week.
The carers are attentive and kind in general, with good continuity of the same carers working in the same areas much of the time. A resident who declines or resists assistance with her personal care will be respected but this sometimes results in poor personal hygiene and inappropriate dress which is not always rectified when the opportunity arises.

Thank you for review, all of your observations will be passed to the care team and we are grateful for you having taken the time to write a review. Receiving constructive feedback as well as such lovely praising comments allows us to help our teams deliver the best quality care for our residents which, of course, is our priority.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by P B (Partner of Resident) on Tuesday 19 September 2017. Relates to August 2017.
A family party was arranged for an 80th birthday, held in the unit. The staff set up the room and greeted us excitedly. They made sure we were not interrupted and helped everyone, especially the birthday girl, to have a lovely afternoon. The general care of my partner is very good and we feel she is happy and safe. Her health has improved and she has a good relationship with her carers.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J R (Husband of Resident) on Friday 8 September 2017. Relates to August 2017.
My wife has been at Seacroft Grange Care Home since it opened. I am quite pleased with the care staff although the last 12 months has been a bit of a letdown, owing to the opening of the new part (The Green). The staff that myself and my wife got on well with have been moved over to the new part, which has left a staff shortage and some of the care staff are agency workers most of the time and it's been difficult to find anyone to talk to. The staff themselves are polite and helpful, my wife seems content which means a lot to me and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, your comments are very much valued by the team. You have correctly identified that there has been a great deal of change at Seacroft over the past 10-12 months. The team are doing everything possible to bring consistency and stability to the services that we offer and hopefully, you have already started to see a positive impact. If you ever have anything that you would like to discuss please don't hesitate to talk to our General Manager. Her door is always open for you. Kind regards.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by E F (Wife of Resident) on Tuesday 29 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
There have been so many changes at Seacroft Grange recently so it is difficult to express a balanced opinion or to feel confident that the unit (Fairview) has stabilised. My view at present is that things have settled somewhat, my overriding opinion is that the intentions of both care staff and management are well meaning. I have seen some wonderful examples of kindness and compassion towards residents.
I have also seen what appeared to me to be a lack of engagement. How we train, respect and value the important roles our carers fulfil will hopefully be reflected in the stability, safety and standard of the unit.

Thank you for your review. We always appreciate feedback and it is particularly helpful to read that you are observing a lot of change and recognising the positives that these changes are bringing. It is always a challenge to strike a balance between stability and the introduction of changes. The team at Seacroft Grange are working incredibly hard and the support of residents' families is essential so thank you for your words.
Kind regards
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Judith B (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 29 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
I've ticked likely, but I need to point out some negatives:- Communication between night and day staff could improve - night staff are agency staff who Mum doesn't understand and movement of staff between wings causes care issues on their return to York wing.
Continuity is key to residents and their families forming good relationships with staff and residents feeling comfortable regarding their intimate needs. There have been some mix ups regarding Mum's medication, I now always check it. However, there are members of the day staff who are excellent doing a very difficult job.
Mum thinks the food is generally ok, but she tells me there isn't much variation on the menu.
Value for money... I was upset that mum had a 10-day hospital stay due to a negligence incident, and we had no offer of a refund of fees or a reduction. Also, a 12.5% increase in fees after only 6 months in residence is excessive.
Generally, it is clean, new, modern with great facilities and activities, but improvements are required regarding the staff working rota to improve continuity.

Thank you for your comprehensive feedback. I have passed your comments on to the team. There has been a lot of change in recent months and the ultimate objective, naturally, is to provide the highest possible quality of care. The team have been working really hard on this and it is unfortunate that during this time we have had to use agency staff - we also recognise that this is far from ideal. I very much hope that you can see some of the benefits of the positive changes which have been made. Our General Manager will contact you directly as we are not aware of a general rise in fees and to discuss your comments in more detail to enable us to make our homes and the care we provide the very best we possibly can. Kind regards
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Simon H (Mother of Resident) on Thursday 24 August 2017. Relates to July 2017.
I am highly satisfied with the care in all departments. The nursing and medical care, personal hygiene, activities and catering. I have found all staff very pleasant and helpful in all ways. Choice of menu is very good. I feel my son has benefitted since being at Seacroft Grange as he gets out quite a lot.
The social activities are most adequate. I would highly recommend Seacroft Grange.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Linda N (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 23 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
Overall staff and management are very good, kind and helpful.
I have had issues with agency nurses, they do not always know with confidence what medication they are giving to residents.
One nurse said to my mum when asked what the tablet was for, that is was for angina, then looked on google and said it is for a number of things.
Agency staff do not get to know residents and residents do not know or trust them.

Thank you for your review and feedback. Agency nurses are, of course, only used when necessary and we agree wholeheartedly that they are not the perfect solution. We have plans currently being implemented by the team to reduce our use of agency nurses, meanwhile, if you have any other queries or concerns please don't hesitate to contact head of operations via reception. Kind regards

The staff are very friendly and down to earth.
Some items of clothing have gone missing. No Wi-Fi in room.
Important to let residents know what services are charged for extra otherwise it feels like money being teased out of them.
Overall good experience.

My congratulations for the excellent programme provided over the Christmas period. It was imaginative and varied, all publicised in a charming 'Victorian' format. The activities coordinator never fails to amaze me with her enthusiasm, care and forward planning. She is backed-up by a super team who do all they can to provide stimulus and pleasure for the residents who they know and treat as individuals.
