My mother-in-law has been resident for over 3 years. She has now passed away but over the time she seemed happy and content to be in the care of Timken Grange. Her health deteriorated fairly rapidly and the staff assisted by Marie Curie cared for her and made her passing peaceful and calm for the family members present.

Nan spent nearly 3-and-a-half years at Timken Grange and we could not have asked for better care for her. The staff were caring and patient throughout even when her dementia made her difficult or angry. There were always activities taking place that she was encouraged to be part of and she enjoyed the food and tipple trolley!! Her room was clean and cost as were the other areas and I know she enjoyed being in the lounge for the company of others. Thank you to all at Timken Grange for the work you do.

It makes me feel at ease knowing that she is happy and provided for and healthy.
Thank you so much

This All-Star Team are amazing in the way they connect with the residents despite the daily pressure and high demand of everyone's needs. I have deep respect for you all and I am eternally grateful to you for your ongoing support to all of our family and understanding during a very difficult time. I know that he appreciated your care and patience, although he probably didn't think to say so due to his mental illness. Thank you so much.

Almost immediately after Mum arrived the staff got a smile out of her. The staff at Timken Grange are amazing, and extremely well trained. I appreciated the communication particularly as I live at least 2 hours away from Northampton. On the day mum passed a phone call in the morning, the message clear and professional, had me making my way to Timken Grange in time along with two of my daughters to be with Mum as she passed, a promise I had made to her if I possibly could. I can never thank the carer who made that call enough. A thoroughly lovely touch was the comfort box Timken Grange placed in Mum's room for the use of the family after a palliative diagnosis, it was so appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Timken Grange, the registered care manager is enthusiastic, full of energy and has demonstrable knowledge. Her values clearly filter down through the troops and this created absolute confidence that our mum was in a safe and positive environment.

Just wanted to say that the care you offered not only to my father in his final weeks but us his children too was outstanding. We can not thank you enough for the care you gave him in the past two years after his dementia sadly made living at home impossible. You truly made it his home and we were also welcomed with open arms including the family pets! All staff were absolutely superb in their interactions with Dad and showed great respect and consideration. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we can not fault the level of communication from the home on any matters relating to Dad. Sadly the final two weeks we saw your staff shift up another gear in their care especially when it became clear his time was very near. I am only too pleased that Dad was able to pass with not only your staff but also us at his bedside. This gave great comfort to us both and we were under no illusion that the home staff were as affected by his death. I would have no doubt in recommending Timken Grange.
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review, I know we are all feeling the loss of your dad every day. We really loved him so much but then who couldn't, that cheeky smile and wicked sense of humour (hiding from the district nurses) he brought such joy to us all every day and is still brought up...
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review, I know we are all feeling the loss of your dad every day. We really loved him so much but then who couldn't, that cheeky smile and wicked sense of humour (hiding from the district nurses) he brought such joy to us all every day and is still brought up in daily conversation with smiles and laughter. It was an absolute honour to have cared for him over the last 2 years and we hope that you will come back and visit your Timken family again soon.
My stepfather died this morning whilst I was on my way to see him. Hearing that he was not on his own when he died was extremely comforting. He died in his sleep with a Senior Carer holding his hand and the nurse outside the room. I'm so aware that this is not the case for many care home residents...
Thank you on his behalf and from myself. We were so lucky to find you.
What a beautiful review thank you so much, we at Timken pride ourselves on our end-of-life care and ensure the individuals' journey is as person-centred as possible. I will pass your thoughts and thanks on to the team. Please don't be a stranger.
The care given to my friend was amazing. My friend was only at the care home for a short time, she had dementia. Unfortunately, my friend became unwell and was admitted to hospital for a couple of weeks. My friend returned to Timken Grange but sadly, passed away. In her last few days, the staff...
A great team. Thank you.
Please don’t be a stranger, you are welcome at Timken Grange anytime. (The residents are missing your cups of tea and chats).

Since Mum went in, she has settled well, been well monitored and has made some socialising improvements. The same goes for food intake and general well-being, which are all positive. I know, albeit difficult that I have made the right decision. Thank you, team Timken.
Thank you so much for your review Ian, we are thoroughly enjoying getting to know your mother, and I am so pleased that you feel that she is being well cared for.
Mum came to Timken Grange in June this year. I’ve been very happy with everything. The staff are excellent - friendly, kind and caring. The atmosphere is very welcoming and positive within the home. Cleanliness is exceptional and I genuinely feel mum is in the best possible hands.

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.
I have found all the staff kind, helpful and friendly. My mother is always looking well. I am well aware of her disposition and find the staff manager her expectations patiently. The activities are exceptional!

Thank you so much for your kind words, I am very proud of the activity schedule here at Timken so am glad to hear that you are impressed with it too.
This care home has improved considerably first under the previous owner then Anchor. The current Manager who has been here almost as long as the care home has forged a really good team of carers, housekeeping and activities.

Thank you for your lovely review. I am so pleased that you feel that the changes we have made have been positive for the home. Thank you also for all the support you give attending the activities that we arrange. We are honoured to continue caring for your mother after all these years.
Staff are polite.
My grandmother generally seems well, and I'm satisfied she is well looked after.
The arrival BBQ today was lovely and well-organised.

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.
