Review from J P (Son of Resident) published on 2 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Well presented care home modern and thoughtfully laid out. Professional and friendly sales and medical staff. Introduction well presented. The rooms have general fulfillments but not overly furnished. Public Wi-Fi not secure enough closed system would create fewer problems.
Overall a very cosy and
tasteful establishment with excellent staff.

My mother moved to Carpathia Grange two weeks ago and has settled in very well. The staff have made her very welcome and have helped her to adjust to her new surroundings. The staff are friendly and attentive to her needs. The whole process has been smooth from the first enquiries to moving in.

Review from Graeme S (Stepson of Resident) published on 25 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My stepfather moved in a week ago from another local facility and I cannot believe the change in him. He is so happy and content and the care he is receiving is second to none. Staff are highly trained, attentive and empathic. The food is incredible as is the service, with each floor having its own
dining room, offering a wide selection of freshly cooked meals with wine or whatever takes your fancy, more restaurant than rest home.
From the moment you walk into the main reception and coffee lounge, you would forget you were entering a care home. Care UK have done an amazing job in both its design and function. They have certainly thrown down the gauntlet for competing facilities. There is absolutely nothing negative to think about Carpathia Grange and I highly recommend paying a visit if you're making that tough decision to move a loved one into full-time care, any trepidation is quickly erased.

From the very start we have had excellent help from Carpathia Grange. The Care Home is beautiful with amazing staff in all areas. As a family we had no hesitation in choosing this Care Home for our mother and all her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.865 for Carpathia Grange is calculated as follows: ( (398 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.865
  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 36 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 36 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.

Jodie Farr

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.
