I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the family to you and everyone at Timken for the beautiful flowers at the funeral, but most of all I want to say a huge thank you for all the support you’ve given us and Nanny since the recent passing.

You’ve been an amazing support network personally for both of us since Nan arrived at Timken and through this testing time.
We can't thank you enough.
Thank you for your review of Timken and in particular thank you for your kind words which will be shared with the entire team. We are so pleased that you found us supportive at this time.
Mum-in-law has been a resident since January and the home, facilities and staff are absolutely excellent. The staff could not be more helpful nor more kind and caring. The food is all freshly prepared and cooked and is very good. I cannot recommend Timken Grange enough, it is wonderful.

Mum moved into Timken Grange in March 2018 following an extended stay in hospital. The Grange very quickly became her new home and we always felt very welcome to visit. Sadly, mum had several short stays in hospital due to age-related failing health, but we managed to get her back "home" for end of life care. This was a very difficult time for all concerned, especially the last few weeks, from leaving hospital to her passing away, but the care given to mum and the family when we were there for extended visits was exceptional, going above and beyond what we would have expected. I would not hesitate to recommend them and wish them all well for the future.
Thank you, Bev, for taking the time to share your views, especially at this time. We are delighted that we were able to make mum feel so at home and that her time with us brought joy to her and her family. We share all feedback and the team will be immensely proud and pleased to learn how much their efforts impacted on your mum and your family. Thank You - she was a joy to care for.

An extremely well-featured care home, providing independence if needed to the residents and full care where needed. Both of my parents are here, they have apartments next to each other. Everything is provided; hair care, manicure, chiropody etc. The cost of these is included in the fee. Food is freshly-prepared by permanent chefs. I feel that they are both very happy there. The staff are extremely attentive and even someone as attention-demanding as my dear old dad does not faze them! The cost here could be considered as being fairly high, but there are certain aspects of care which both of my parents have enjoyed which could not have a price on them. Highly recommended, many thanks to all of the staff members.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We value and appreciate all feedback which we share with the entire team as it helps us understand where we are getting things right and where to focus.

Timken Grange has helped make this transition as seamless as possible.
Resident centred care is uppermost in their ethos. The staff cannot do enough to ensure that individual needs are met and that each resident feels at home. Safety, security and well being are top priorities!
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We value your feedback and share it with the entire Timken Team. We are delighted that both yourself and your mum are so happy with our standard of care and facilities and I know the team will be pleased to receive your positive feedback.
The staff all go over and beyond expectation. One of the members of staff collected her reclining chair in her own time. The whole place is tastefully done out. Plenty of room for residents, light and airy.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback which we use to monitor our care and services at the home and it's good to know that we are providing the standard of care you expected.
If we’re all honest, none of us want to live in a care home. We lead, or have led independent lives and to no longer be able to do so is a significant path to take. Having to take that path requires thought and research.

My Dad, myself and my husband visited Timken Grange on their open day in February.
My Dad is a resident there now and I feel it appropriate at this time to give my review because time has allowed me to give an honest appraisal.
I simply can’t fault the care he is given. All staff are approachable and caring. The home’s ethos exhibits as a place where all are made welcome and to feel that they are. I don’t know what other homes are like but I do know what Timken Grange is like.
The daily care is exceptional. The activities that are offered are both entertaining and aimed at the overall well-being of residents. Family members are always welcome to join in.
To summarise, I have to say that my Dad could not be in a better care home.
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate the care and services we provide to your father. We are delighted that you and your father are happy with all that we do. The time taken to consider and review is really appreciated as we use this information to share with the entire team and it provides excellent feedback when it comes directly from a resident or family member.
The staff have been very understanding and thoughtful in the treatment of him and the family. Beyond expectations.

I was so pleased to find such a lovely home for my husband. All the staff are so caring and understanding, with lots of patience and nothing is too much trouble. The facilities, rooms and decor are excellent. The residents are treated with absolute dignity in a very professional way. The catering is amazing, everything freshly made on site and always a welcome cup of tea when visiting. Well done everyone!
Thank you for making the effort and time to provide a review of our home. Needless to say, we are delighted that you are happy with how we care for your husband and our home itself and appreciate you sharing your views. Please feel free to extend the lunch and dinner invites to the remainder of your family and friends who can join you on your visits.....even if it's just for a cup of tea!

Our family were very apprehensive about moving dad into a care home as we know he was very anti care homes. Dad is 92 and needs 24x7 care. Against our expectations, he settled into Timken Grange really quickly. He joins in some of the activities, is more mobile, looks better and seems to accept he is in the best place now. The staff look after him really well, putting up with his occasional grumpiness. He is much happier than he was living on his own. Well done all at Timken Grange.
Such a great place, like staying in a five-star hotel. I have been looked after and cared for extremely well. By staff who are completely dedicated to their job. It has been a pleasure to stay here and can't wait to return. Once again a very big thank you to all the team.

Within three days of Dad coming to Timken Grange, we could see an incredible difference in his wellbeing. He was relaxed, contented and had started to interact again with people around him and his surroundings. His appetite returned. All of this we put down to the amazing care and support of the...
Within three days of Dad coming to Timken Grange, we could see an incredible difference in his wellbeing. He was relaxed, contented and had started to interact again with people around him and his surroundings. His appetite returned. All of this we put down to the amazing care and support of the staff helping him to engage and take part. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are pleased that yourself and your dad have had such a positive experience with us and we look forward to continuing to provide these high standards of care. You are also the first to review us which makes your review all the more special. Thank You.

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.
