Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Falkland Grange for nearly four years, during which time as a dementia sufferer her faculties have declined. What hasn't declined is the quality of care she receives. Irrespective of their role, the staff are all positive, professional and supportive. This creates a wonderful environment
for my mum to live in, a place she loves and where she feels safe, secure and respected. I don't live locally but have complete peace of mind that my mum is receiving both the best possible care and the best possible quality of life. I visit on random days/times and whenever I arrive the friendly atmosphere and excellent standard of care are always consistent. As is the support I am given, providing information and discussing my mum's needs. I cannot speak highly enough of the care home - it is exceptional. I would recommend Falkland Grange to anyone who wants their relatives to be well looked after, a home from home. I look forward to my visits enormously.
Reply from Carla, Home Manager at Falkland Grange Care HomeThank you so much for leaving us this wonderful review of our home, and staff. It is really important to me that every resident feels safe, secure and respected so to read this makes me so happy. We have a wonderful care team who will be so pleased to read your review. You are always welcome to visit, and I can highly recommend our cakes, if you haven't already tried them, for your next visit.

My brother-in-law went into Falkland Grange in November as an emergency after my sister ended up in hospital after falling and fracturing her hip.
He settled in well and is very responsive to the staff and certainly improved with his ability to move about and enjoys going out on the social activities.
He
has been unwell for the past week but the staff have been taking good care of him ensuring that he has everything that he needs.
Reply from Carla Kell, Home Manager at Falkland Grange Care HomeThank you for your kind words, and we hope that your sister is recovering well after her fall. It has been great to support your brother-in-law's improvement in mobility, and he thoroughly enjoys the activities and trips out that we arrange every week! He is a pleasure to have here and the staff will be warmed by the recognition of the care that they provide, thank you.

Falkland Grange is a beautiful care home with lots of places to sit quietly or in small groups in addition to Mum's room. The staff whether they be nursing care, janitorial, food service, administrative or entertainment, all exhibit genuine care toward her. I cannot praise them enough for making this
very difficult transition easier for her.

Review from Chris M (Son of Resident) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Falkland Grange Care Home a month ago as her dementia deteriorated past the point where she could remain at home. We knew the transition would be problematic and as a result, we were dreading the move.
After dropping Mum off, we were advised to leave it four days before coming in, to
allow Mum time to acclimatise. On day four, I visited and was amazed that Mum appeared very settled.
Over the last four weeks, this has continued. There are days when she is a bit unsettled but no more so than she was at home with carers visiting every day.
Positives are that Mum is now comfortable, safe and secure with 24/7 care. She is settled and calm, is sleeping and eating well and is benefitting from spending time with people which she hasn't been able to do in recent years.
Negatives are that Mum wants to walk but this is obviously restricted for dementia patients.
The building is amazing, the staff caring and wonderful and the coffee bar fantastic. It's definitely the best place that Mum could be.
Reply from Carla Kell, Home Manager at Falkland Grange Care HomeThank you so much for writing this wonderful review and we are so glad to hear that Mum has settled in well. We understand that it can be such a difficult transition into a home and we're really happy she is now part of the Falkland Grange family.

My wife and I became residents at Falkland Grange Care Home just over a month ago and we are pleased we made this move. The care home and nursing staff are very friendly and professional and we feel well looked after and safe. The catering is excellent with well-balanced and varied choices available.
The weekly diary of activities provides a social opportunity to meet other residents. We enjoy the well-maintained and designed care home that has many useful and thoughtful additions that give it a more homely feel. The garden lounges, library, cinema, gym and bistro are food areas to both relax and meet family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband had Alzheimers and died 10 years ago I therefore have great understanding what is required for their care. It is essential they are monitored properly. My husband had to go to hospital with acute dehydration after six months in a Care Home.
I work now as an unofficial councillor for families
with a family member who has Alzheimer's and spend a great deal of time looking at Care Homes.
I am very impressed with Falklands Grange.
The building is well designed; attractive gardens; the staff very helpful; the daily timetable excellent; it is so important they are occupied.
It has a very friendly atmosphere and visitors are made very welcome.
Reply from Carla Kell, Home Manager at Falkland Grange Care HomeThank you so much for such high praise, as a professional in Dementia care and someone who has first hand experience of supporting a loved one with Dementia care this feedback is very much appreciated.

I have been visiting my friend for over eighteen months now and I am very impressed with her care. She is always clean and well-dressed and the staff are very aware of her needs, especially as she is diabetic.
We enjoy exploring the grounds which are well-maintained and all staff, regardless of department,
are friendly and approachable.
I particularly like the fact we can visit at any time so there is obviously nothing to hide! Keep up the lovely work you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with Falkland Grange Care Home was always very positive. They correctly assessed my partner's changing needs over time and gave her what I can only describe as loving care 24/7. When I visited my partner, all levels of management and staff were always friendly and willing to help, provide
information, deal with any issues and discuss any matters. They also guided me as to what I should do to provide for my partner.
The home provides an extensive programme of internal and external interesting events and activities for patients and their relatives to take part in and enjoy, e.g. music. Bereaved relatives are also invited to discussion sessions where they can meet a variety of speakers on different topics.
The home is basically clean and well-maintained. There is a garden for residents and relatives to use for getting out into the open air.
There is a doctor's surgery and pharmacy next door to the home's site.
Reply from Carla, Home Manager at Falkland Grange Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to leave us such positive feedback. I am delighted that you found our team friendly and willing to help. We take great pride in providing care to people's loved ones and see it as an honour. It is always lovely to read about people's positive experiences, even during difficult times.

The initial help in making the decision to try respite care for my husband was done with great professionalism and kindness. I am still exploring ways of making things easier, but all along the way, the staff have been more than helpful. They manage the residents on the dementia floor with huge patience
and invent, so many ways of entertaining and helping them. We still have to make the decision whether to graduate to full residency, but I am sure that I can rely on the same degree of help in working this out.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Falkland Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.801 for Falkland Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.801
  2. 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Falkland Grange Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
