From my first encounter with the home everything has been positive for both my partner and myself.
In the short time my partner has been a resident, there has been a big improvement in both her mental and physical health.
The manager and her teams, for me the care provided must be 'gold standard'. Not just for what they all do; but for the way in which they do it.
So pleased we found the Timken Grange Care Home.
A big thank you.
My mother has been in TimKen Grange for four and half years and she has been given excellent care by the staff. This has put my brothers and myself at ease knowing that she is so well looked after. Louise, the Manager, is very friendly and welcoming and always has time to discuss any issues I have...
My mother tells me that the care staff are all very kind to her and they have all been very pleasant when I visit her. They seem to go to all lengths to ensure the residents are happy and well cared for.
Special thanks go to Kelly, who has been there for my mother since her first day in the home. She has always kept me completely up to date with everything concerning my mother. Thank you to all the other members of staff, too many to mention, from the care workers, the laundry, the kitchen, the cleaners and also the maintenance man, Mark. They have all shown my mother the greatest care, respect and consideration.
Whatever question query you may have support is available and just as important staff are always prepared to listen.
Here you have the freedom to make it your new home.

My Dad was a resident at Timken Grange for 2 days short of 3 years, before passing peacefully at the home. The home is purpose built, well appointed and maintained. I have huge admiration and respect for the staff at Timken who all played their part in looking after my Dad during his stay. From the friendly welcome of the reception staff, through to the Kitchen and Housekeeping teams, maintenance, the carers - day and night teams, and the home manager, Louise, who always had time to discussion any concerns we had, with action when necessary, reassurance and advice. In the early years my Dad went on visits to museums, Remembrance Parade and was encouraged to participate in the Veterans sessions, which he so enjoyed. A heartfelt thank you for looking after my Dad with kindness and respect.
My father has been a resident at Timken Grange for the last two and a half years.

My father has been a resident at Timken Grange for the last two and a half years.
During that time, I've had the pleasure of getting to know the management and staff, and I can honestly say they are an amazing team. The home itself is beautifully presented, exceptionally clean, and furnished to a very high standard. It always feels welcoming and well cared for.
I spend a lot of time with my father, and whenever we need to discuss anything about his care or simply ask a question, there is always someone available to talk to. As a family, we feel genuinely supported and have complete trust in Timken Grange, knowing that our dad is being cared for with kindness, dignity, and respect.
Over the years we've enjoyed so many wonderful events alongside the staff and residents. From Easter egg hunts, summer fêtes, Christmas dinners, birthday celebrations, Halloween parties and Remembrance Day commemorations, to many other occasions. Every event is thoughtfully planned and brings so much joy.

My relative was very independent and railed against a home, after a few weeks in and out of the home, she had decided to stay. During this time the management and staff went out of their way to make her feel, welcome, happy, safe and loved. Nothing was too much trouble, they did everything they could to help her understand that she needed the security of the home and staff.
I was very pleased with the care kindness and help shown in encouraging my aunt through several respite stays to becoming a permanent resident. All the staff and especially the manager Loiuse were so supportive and patient throughout a trying time.

Just like to say what a fantastic group of carers at Timken Grange care home, All the staff, so friendly thoughtful and kind giving my mother respect, understanding for her individual needs helping her day to day at every minute never questioning what we asked for, putting her first.

She was only there for a short time, the staff treated her like a family member giving her unconditional loving care.
There are lots of daily activities to attend to but no pressure to do so. Which we could follow on social media also weekly coffee morning which we could join mum there.
They were all a fantastic support to me and my family during a difficult time.
Would like to say a big Thank you to everyone at the home. For your ever giving support help and care . Thank you xx
At a very difficult time, all staff have been incredibly supportive and caring.

been resident over 5 years, the last one John a resident
the past three weeks, he loves being looked after by the carers. Visiting the care home gives my life structure and takes away some of the loneliness. When entering the care home you are greeted with a smile from Jane or Kim, both ladies have a pleasing manner. The care home is spotlessly clean and unlike other homes that I have visited does not have any unpleasant odours.The activities in the care home are many and varied. One most popular are the hymn singing, carpet bowls, and poetry club where residents compose their own poems and read them out.I have found the meals at the Grange very good, made with fresh produce and
served hot. Being a visitor over 65 yrs and live alone I get invited to Sunday lunch which I appreciate and look forward to. In short I would become a resident of the Grange in Louise the Manageress's excellent care.
My mother has Alzheimer's and had a negative experience at a previous care home once her illness progressed and she needed additional assistance with personal care as her communication abilities affect her behaviour when frightened and confused. Louise and her team were breath of fresh air....
They saw a lady with difficulty and confusion not an inconvenience and worked at getting to know her and adapted her care as an individual. This has allowed her to form close bonds with the staff. As a family navigating this scary path they were so very supportive particularly to my father and reassuring that what was happening to Mum was not unusual.
Mum loves music and her sense of rhythm remains strong although she may not be able to join in with all the activities she is encouraged to be close so is included. We as a family have no hesitation in recommending Timken Grange.

Thank you to all concerned, making this transition into a care home for our mother much easier for us.
When I first walked into Timken Grange it was obvious this was a happy place to be with high levels of staff morale. The interaction between staff and residents was relaxed and friendly. The activities board isn't just there for show - activities and trips out are available if the residents want to...
Visitors are welcomed and every Friday there is a joint gathering where visitors and residents meet for a chat over cakes sand hot drinks.
Before retiring I worked in a mental health rehabilitation unit as a senior instructor so I'm used to assessing work atmospheres.
I'm grateful to ALL the staff at Timken Grange, both frontline carers and others who keep the place running, for their care which they give to my wife now I can no longer give her the quality of life she deserves.
May your God always be with you.

Mum has been in the care home for over five years and during that time enjoyed outings and taking part in many different activities. Mum was a great cook and one year they helped her make and decorate her own Christmas cake,. She was always treated with kindness and respect. She often teased and had a laugh with the carers and they understood her personality and showed a genuine goodness for her. During the past few months when mum's health started to decline the staff have been supportive and caring, giving regular updates and support when we visited. They made sure she still looked nice and had her nails done, something she was very particular about. During her final days they sat with her when we were not there, chatting away and playing music. Sadly mum died a week ago, again the staff were supportive and kind, and saddened by her death. I would like to thank all the management and carers for making mum's time at the home a happy one.

My name is Louise, I have four grown-up children and four grandsons, I have worked in the health and social care sector for 40 years,
I started my care journey when I was in the Girl Guides working towards my care badge, every weekend I would go to the local hospital and sit with the elderly patients and assist them with eating, drinking and read to them, after I earned my badge I continued to go every weekend until I was old enough to get a job in the care sector.
I started as a carer and have worked my way up. Since arriving at Timken Grange nearly seven years ago to take up a role as a senior carer I have progressed to medication manager, deputy manager, care manager and now home manager.
I am passionate about the care we provide, and our bespoke approach to each individual care needs which is provided by our fully trained care team. Whilst already having various qualifications within the sector, I am currently studying for a BSc Honours in Health and Social Care. I am excited to be utilising my skills and being able to further my career.
Being able to support my team, creating a great place to work and helping them embark on their own careers in care is important to me. I am driven by my passion for the elderly and providing exceptional care wherever I go. I am truly dedicated to the improvement and advancement of care techniques and delivering these in an environment that puts our residents at ease, thus allowing them to have their freedom and enabling them to live an enriched life.

I am the deputy manager here at Timken Grange. I began my journey here as a carer back in 2018 and have worked my way up the ranks, gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience in the process.
I have a passion for care and do my utmost to ensure that all of our residents receive person-centred care to the highest standard. I am immensely proud to be part of the team here at Timken Grange.
I'd like to tell you what I do in my spare time, however, I have a very busy life as a mother of four children, so spare time is very rare. I love spending time with my family and doing the things that my children enjoy.

I have worked as a Business Support Manager at Timken Grange since May 2022 and previously worked as the administrator for another Care Home in Wellingborough for 6 years, so have been in the industry for 7 years.I worked for many years before this in the property business, and when I moved from London to Northamptonshire working in the care industry was a real eye-opener but saw it as a whole new challenge.
The way I see it is we will all hopefully get to old age at some point, and will then all need help and assistance, and I think it is lovely to see the residents continue to enjoy and have a good quality of life.
I am currently very happy in my position as Business Support Manager, but if ever there was a position that came up to be a Region Business Support Manager, I would be interested.
