The staff are very friendly and are happy to feedback information and listen to advise on what may help the resident settle in. They show care and compassion and are very encouraging and understand that the process may take a while. All the staff I have encountered have been professional and had a friendly
smile. I would highly recommend this home. Thankl you to all.

Launton Grange has been a lifesaver for me and my sisters. The home takes such great care of dad giving him all the care and attention he needs. It is like a 5-star hotel, the rooms, staff, food, and public areas are amazing giving all the residents a wonderful friendly environment to reside in. Nothing
is too much trouble and individual requirements are all taken care of. I have told my own children to book me in when the time comes.

My father has now been at Launton Grange for two months. He settled well. His room is beautiful, clean and comfortable with a good aspect over the garden. The staff are marvellous. He spent a short time in hospital and the staff worked hard to keep me up to date with his care plan. They also sourced
all the equipment he now needs.

Review from Jennifer M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law had a nasty fall and on her release from hospital we took the decision to put her into respite care. Launton Grange could not have been more helpful or caring. From our initial contact, our phone calls and queries were answered promptly and the staff were always helpful. Despite restrictions
due to Coronovirus we were able to call the home by telephone to talk to our relative and we were also able to visit in a Coronovirus safe environment strictly adhering to Government guidelines; it was never too much bother for us to visit or call. If we were worried about how my mother-in-law was progressing on her road to recovery we were always able to contact the home and ask for updates on her health. I have no hesitation in recommending Launton Grange as the care we received was professional, caring and helpful. All the staff that we spoke to were friendly, cheerful and genuinely seemed to care.

Review from Katherine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were introduced to Launton Grange by local advisement. My elderly mother who suffers from vascular dementia and mobility issues was at another home locally, and initially, we decided to move her as there were no visiting facilities during covid. Launton Grange has gone out of its way to welcome my
mother and care for her mental and physical needs beyond what she was currently experiencing. The manager and her staff have been excellent.

Launton Grange is as impressive on the inside as the outside. We are so grateful that we are allowed visits in the garden room to spend that much treasured time with our loved ones. The staff are ever so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They even took us for a walk of the grounds so we could
see our relatives room from the outside. It gives us great comfort to know that she is so happy and cared for.

All staff are very helpful and treat everyone with great thoughtfulness. From first entering Launton Grange, I found it welcoming and totally professional. As a daily visitor to see my husband, I have been impressed with the individual care all the staff have shown him. Due to COVID restrictions, we
can only meet outside even though it's cold, it's just good to be able to see him.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Launton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.724 for Launton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.724
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Launton Grange is based on 19 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 = 3.975
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
