My Mum is a resident of this care home, she suffers from dementia, she is generally happy and says that she likes it at the home, however as a relative I cannot say the same, since moving into the home in the summer of 2023 I have not been very impressed with the level of care provided for £6k + per
month, we have encountered lost and mislaid jewellery, Mum wearing other residents clothes, looking dishevelled, lack of personal hygiene, recently turned up and the clothes Mum is wearing are soaked in urine, raised concerns with Carpathia’s management but nothing changes, all for £1500+ per week, looks great from the outside and decor etc, but not too sure what is happening regards to the management of the home.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, PA to Marketing Director at Carpathia GrangeThank you for your recent review of our service at Carpathia Grange. We are very pleased to hear that your mum is happy and likes the home she lives in. However, we are sorry and disappointed to hear that you have concerns.

Our management team are continuously working with all departments to ensure that residents are settled and well cared for in every aspect. We would be grateful if you could please get in touch to confirm who you spoke to in management about your concern over the weekend, as we do not seem to have any correspondence about this until Monday morning when one of your family members contacted the home manager and shared the concerns. As explained in our last meeting, your mum's care needs are extremely complex, and the team are continually trying their best to assist without causing distress. As you can imagine, dementia care is often complex and the team endeavour to do the best for Mum by balancing both her physical and emotional care needs. We are more than happy to meet with you to discuss this in more detail.

Residents with dementia will at times mislay items and we work towards minimising this as much as possible. There are times that residents do not have adequate supplies of clothing or have accidents and there is a need to use spare clothing we have in the home for such eventualities (not other residents). Management have met with you previously and have always listened to your concerns. We would like to invite you to meet in person to go through your concerns thoroughly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was initially admitted to Carpathia for respite, which has since become permanent. We felt lucky to get a room for him as it was an emergency situation and we knew we wanted him to be here as they took such excellent care of my mum when she needed it. The team couldn’t have been more welcoming
and helpful with the logistics and everything involved in the move. The staff are really lovely - cheerful, welcoming, caring and understanding to both my dad and the family. I feel that everyone is very approachable. I can call with any issues and they are resolved immediately. They also keep me updated on any changes to my dad’s circumstances. It is such a relief that he is being kept as safe as possible, that all his meds are updated appropriately and administered regularly and that he is getting a well-balanced diet. He has improved already. The surroundings are bright, clean and cheerful and it’s always lovely to visit as everyone is so welcoming.

My father has dementia and has been living in Carpathia now for over a year, and is quite happy there. As it’s a purpose-built care home the layout is well thought out and the rooms and decor make it a nice place to stay. The staff are very welcoming and do a fantastic job caring for all the residents.
They try hard to keep the residents entertained and happy on a daily basis. The food is great and good choices every day, I know my father loves it. The managers and office staff are very knowledgeable and helped me a lot when my father first came to stay. We have thought of Carpathia for some time now as visiting dad at his home.

I visited Carpathia Grange on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th October 2023. The staff were all very welcoming and the lunch we had on the Thursday was lovely.
I found my friend to be happy and in good spirits and she has everything she needs. I gave a couple of items to reception for her name to be
put on them and the receptionist said she would make sure it was done. All in all, a very pleasant visit.

From our initial visit, through to Dad’s welcome at Carpathia Grange and ongoing care, support from all team members has been absolutely outstanding. The rooms and facilities are exceptional with plenty of space, always clean and tidy and variety of food options available at all meals – the café with
daily treats and lovely coffee is a great location for residents and visitors. We recently celebrated Dad’s birthday and the team arranged a private lounge, fully decorated with balloons and streamers, bluetooth speaker and the most incredible chocolate cake – Dad and the whole family had a wonderful afternoon. We cannot thank you enough for helping us all through the transition and for looking after Dad (Mum and the whole family) so well.

Since being at Carpathia Grange for just over six months, my mum is now considerably more independent and happy. She is looked after really well and, for the first time in a long while, she now enjoys the quality of her life. Her health is considerably better, and she feels safe knowing that every member
of staff looks after her.

An absolutely fantastic care home. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff who always have the residents' care at the forefront of everything they do.
They are always most welcoming to relatives and it feels like home from home.

The welcome was ver warm there and everyone is very helpful and friendly. He has settled very well and is very happy there. He is very
well cared for in every respect and he feels very much at home. The meals are well thought out - balanced, varied and nourishing. The personal care is provided with compassion and dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Carpathia Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.936 for Carpathia Grange is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.936
  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 Carpathia Grange is based on 29 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2025

We have a terrific team at Carpathia Grange. I started working here in 2020 and have progressed from Team Leader to Unit Manager, Deputy Manager, and Home Manager.


We all work incredibly hard, and I am proud of what we have achieved. So far, we have received gold standard framework accreditation, which shows that we consistently deliver high-quality end-of-life care when needed.


We have also achieved VIPS accreditation, which focuses on high-quality person-centred care for residents living with dementia. Both demonstrate our commitment to residents, ensuring we make a real difference to those we support.


As a Home Manager, it’s important to have good communication skills, be transparent and have a vision for high standards. As a leader, you also need to be positive and approachable; it is my role to provide help and support to colleagues as well as residents.


My favourite part of working here is ensuring all residents enjoy being at Carpathia Grange. We create happy memories and actively nurture healthy lifestyles. Seeing smiles on the lovely faces of residents makes me smile too. I feel privileged to be able to make such a positive difference in people’s lives.


Outside of work, I love a spa day to unwind and relax. I also enjoy spending time with my family.
