Elworth Grange

father got an infection which resulted in hospital admission, when ready for discharge he required respite care due to dementia and delirium. I happened to have a family holiday booked a week later. The team at Elwroth were utstanding in their help and assistance and left me with no doubt this care home would more than meet my father's needs.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, always someone to ask about my mum's care. Her room is nice, light, bright and spacious. The area for meals and the sitting area are spacious, with views out of the windows. The meals are set out like eating in a restaurant, nice presentation.

From my arrival I consider this to be a haven. A very beautiful home, the furnishing extremely attractive, staff work extremely hard to care for residents. Sometimes like most homes with shortages of staff, having to train agency staff. The chef has a flair for cooking and a passion for attempting to please us all. A lady chef and assistant are also talented. A real homely feel, and 24-hour care.

Elworth Grange provide excellent care and facilities for my mother-in-law. The environment is always immaculate and the staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive. Any suggestions for individual attention are taken on board, making for a fulfilling daily life. Thank you all!

My family and I have been very pleased to have discovered Elworth Grange. The management and staff have always been very attentive to any concerns that we have had with our sister and they have always been supportive of my sister and our family.

My dad has vascular dementia. Prior to moving to Elworth Grange dad had been in another care home for assessment for a period of 8 weeks. During his time at the other home, he started to have 'issues' with eating by himself and it concerned me greatly. I looked at a number of care homes for dad to call his 'forever home' and Elworth Grange stood head and shoulders above any of the others, even those more expensive. As soon as you enter the building you get a good feeling. It's like a 5* hotel, luxurious, light, spacious, bright and spotlessly clean but homely, comfortable and welcoming. I was dreading 'the move' as dad had taken weeks to settle in the first home, hence the 8-week stay for assessment. Dad has only been at Elworth Grange for a short time but he has settled in brilliantly and his eating and appetite have improved which is a testament to the staff and the Elworth Grange approach to care. Kindness, patience, encouragement and dignity. A wonderful place to call home.

My dad has been at Elworth Grange for the last four weeks as an interim, before returning home from the hospital. The staff and facilities are completely wonderful and have provided an outstanding level of personable care and diligence with him catering to all of his mobility needs and being very patient with him. His return home is tinged with sadness, as he was telling me how much he has enjoyed his time, the care, good food and socializing. The bedroom facilities are modern, spacious and well equipped, and my dad has loved the dining room and marvels at how much he feels like he is in a posh hotel. From a relative perspective, I was totally reassured at all times that my dad was receiving the best care at Elworth Grange - it is a fantastic place.

My mother stayed for two weeks respite care. From the initial viewing through to taking Mum home, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The facilities, activities and food were excellent, and I was able to speak to her by phone every day.

Mum came to Elworth Grange for 2-weeks of respite care; she was made very welcome and enjoyed her stay at the home. She enjoyed the company and could not praise the wonderful staff and management enough. Thank you.

My mother-in-law has just completed four weeks initial respite care and has decided to become a permanent resident. The difference in her over these last four weeks is wonderful to see. She has regained her appetite and is enjoying her food again. She was never one to sit still, so has been taking advantage of the varied activities on offer, from armchair exercises to cooking and flower arranging. She is fond of music and has been very complimentary of the regular entertainers who visit the home. Mum is always saying how easy to get on with and helpful all the staff are, which we have also found in our dealings with them. All these things have helped to increase her confidence and bring her back to her old self. As her family, we are reassured that she is being well looked after, and they always have her best interests at heart.

Mum came to Elworth after a long stay in hospital. The care she receives amazing. The staff are attentive to every detail, and their communication with me is excellent. I am very happy that mum is cared for by the team at Elworth - they are truly second to none. Thank you.

My mother-in-law went in for 2 weeks of respite and she settled in really well. All the staff were friendly and nice to talk to. Her room was lovely decorated and very modern. They helped her to celebrate her birthday with flowers and even made her a birthday cake. I would definitely pick this care home again in the future.

My mum was apprehensive about going to a care home and initially, went to Elworth Grange for a two-week trial, which was extended to four weeks. Mum liked it so much that she has become a permanent resident. We think that Mum cannot believe her luck in finding such a wonderful place. She says the food is excellent, the staff are all very helpful and are always there to support her. Mum loves all the activities, which she finds very stimulating. This has meant that her conversation has improved, and when we visit or she comes out with us, we can have a good chat. Mum feels very secure, which has meant that her physical and mental health has improved. Mum likes her room and having some of her own possessions with her, which makes the room feel personal to her. As a family, we were experiencing a difficult time when Mum went to Elworth Grange, and the staff were very supportive of our needs as well as Mum’s, and we cannot thank them enough.

We looked at a number of care homes in the area that would give Mum a months respite, and Elworth Grange ticked all the boxes. Mum was made very welcome and began to enjoy her stay. So much so, that with the care and assistance provided by all the staff, Mum has now become a permanent resident. There is never a quiet moment at Elworth, with each day being filled with an activity of some sort, and the great part of that is that we can see and hear it all happening through regular social media updates. The quality of care is incredible, the staff are friendly, understanding, extremely patient, and very attentive to both residents and visitors alike. With Mum being a resident during the lockdown, we've been able to enjoy phone calls, (Covid friendly) visits and even Zoom calls. These were made all the more special by the fact that Mum is so well cared for and happy. I'm told the food is wonderful, and it sure does look it. It really is a great place full of joy, laughter and excellent care.

So a huge thank you to everyone - you are a credit to the care profession and deserve every accolade and award you achieve. I’m sure Elworth Grange will have continued success and be a much-valued part of the community.

I researched and organised my Gran a short stay at Elworth Grange for respite care whilst my Grandad recovered from an operation and as my Gran keeps telling me, “you’ve picked a good one Rachel”. The staff are some of the friendliest and most caring people that I have met and you can tell that working at Elworth Grange is a vocation rather than just a job to them. Staff were all so helpful whilst I was organising Grans stay and they assured me that my many many phone calls and questions were never too much trouble! Gran was extremely nervous and upset about having to go to a care home but the staff could not have made her more at ease. She has truly made some new friends in the people that care for her and she has mentioned them so many times. Despite her initial hesitation, Gran has absolutely no complaints about her care or the home itself (which really is beautiful, just like a 5* hotel!) and the food is getting rave reviews!

I placed my mum in Elworth Grange for respite care, based on the the fact she would be in lovely surroundings for two weeks and that the manager had emphasised the person-centred care aspects of the home when we spoke. Mum has quite advanced dementia but is very active and gets bored easily. From the photo updates, I could see she was enjoying the activities and care provided. When she returned home her speech and communication, in general, was improved. A testament to the care and stimulus she had received. She will be returning for long term care.

My nan has only been in the care home for a few days but already she has improved so much. All of the staff are absolutely amazing with her and go out of their way to get to know all about her ways. This was a very hard decision for us to move her into a care home but was 100% the right thing and we have definitely found her forever home. I can’t thank the staff enough for everything they are doing for her.

Elworth Grange gives fantastic care to my nana. The home was used for respite that turned into permanent care just when my family needed it. The visiting during the summer was fantastic, they have a lovely garden where you can social distance but still see and stay close to your loved one. This really helped me and my family cope with the huge transition and most importantly helped my nan to cope with it too. Nan is now at home in Elworth, with weekly visits from my mum, which again in a pandemic is hard to do but they have managed to make it happen - super service! I love seeing the pictures they post on social media, it really helps with missing your relatives. You can call at any time to speak to your loved one, this is fab too! Most of all, I love how happy my nan looks and how glamorous she looks, I always used to do her hair and it makes me happy to see her hair and nails done to pristine condition - some weeks her nails even match her clothes! Would highly recommend.

The staff do an amazing job and engage with the patients brilliantly. The activities involve each service user and there is something for each individual resident, which is great in itself from a game of darts, to a karaoke and pub night and themed days. It’s great to see the residents enjoying themselves. Brilliant that we can see our loved ones in these difficult times, social media has been great Thank you.
