Our mother has been a resident at Barchester Cumberland Grange for a few months (this is her second stay) and I have to say that the whole set up is fabulous. The accommodation is 5 star, as is the setting, the food, the service and the daily cakes.!!!. With excellence normally measured at 5 stars, I have to say that the staff and management would score far higher in my view. They are all truly wonderful. The care they give, the welcome we receive, and the genuine patience and affection they share with everyone makes the Cumberland an outstanding residential home. You should all be incredibly proud of the environment that you have created...oh, and did I mention the cakes.!!!
Thank you so much for your truly wonderful review. It is a joy to read and we are very grateful that you took the time to share your experience with us. It is a real pleasure having your dear mum here with us. We look forward to seeing you soon (enjoy the cake!).
Cumberland Grange is a really good care home. Many of the staff have been there for several years which I think points to a really good working environment that comes through on every visit in providing a professional but also very caring approach to the residents. The special care on memory lane...
We would recommend Cumberland Grange to anyone looking for residential care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. Your kind words will mean a lot to the team. Your dear mum is wonderful and it is a real privilege to care for her. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Cannot commend ALL staff highly enough. They know all residents extremely well, communicate regularly with relatives and effectively create a family atmosphere.
Mum certainly doesn't want for activities, trips or hot chocolate!
This is the gold standard!

What a truly wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely words. It is an absolute honour to care for your dear mum. She is a huge part of our home and we feel very lucky to care for her. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The home is a modern, purpose-built building with several spacious communal areas. It is kept warm throughout the year.
The staff are, without exception, caring, friendly and cheerful. This includes seemingly small gestures which mean a lot - such as a friendly chat or a reassuring touch on the arm. The friendliness and kindness extends not only to residents, but also to their families. As my mother says, the staff aren't kind and helpful only when visitors are around: they are like that all the time.
In my view, the Cumberland Grange management have got the culture spot-on. In my mother's words, if you need to be in a care home, you wouldn't find anywhere nicer than here.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Such lovely words which will mean very much to the team, so thank you!

The staff are all so kind, attentive & patient with the residents. The staff appear to be a family who come together and help one another in their individual roles and seem to have a nice friendship.
The activities are stimulating & enjoyable as I experienced them myself. The entertainment staff are active & enthusiastic.
The food is excellent and there are always snacks left out for residents to enjoy at their leisure.
All in all the home is beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere to it.
Unfortunately the cost of a stay is expensive.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. I am so pleased that you and your dear mum were really happy with the care, activities and food here at Cumberland. We are really proud of the family feel home that we have created and it is so lovely to know that you felt comfortable to join in with activities. We are always here if you need us!

My father recently stayed at the Barchester Cumberland Grange Care Home for a ten-day period of respite. The contact with the management team was totally professional and helpful throughout. My father has a complex medical condition, which required monitoring, and this was his first time away from his own home and family for respite care. The understanding of his condition was good, with all involved making sure he was relaxed in this new environment. All the staff who were involved in his care were fantastic, making sure he was included in as many activities as possible to enable him to enjoy his stay. The meals were varied and the quality excellent. The staff maintained good contact with us, reassuring me throughout his stay, that he was at the centre of their care. During his stay, I was able to witness him interacting with many of the other residents during the activities. I cannot fault the Cumberland Grange in any way and want to say a big thank you to all the staff, at all levels, for everything.
Thank you so much for your truly wonderful review. It means so much to us all to receive such amazing feedback. It was a real privilege to care for your dear dad and we hope to see him again soon! He is always welcome, Thank you again!

All members of the team, including maintenance, administration, laundry, catering and management as well as the carers themselves, are welcoming, friendly, helpful and kind. They all know my relative well and understand his needs.
They are always approachable and take time to listen to any concerns or updates and try to resolve any issues promptly.
The staff support my relative to contact me by telephone if he requests this. They also take time to update me by telephone on any important matters.
Activities are well-run and trips out occur weekly. Larger events occur throughout the year and are always well attended. The catering and entertainment are excellent and well received by residents and families alike. These events demonstrate the great teamwork shown by staff at Cumberland Grange.
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful review. I will, of course, share this with the team as they too will be very grateful and proud. I am so pleased that, as a family member, you are happy with the care and life enrichment that your relative receives here at Cumberland Grange. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The initial visit was very encouraging. The staff were friendly and professional. The facility is well-designed and the personal rooms are large and bright as are the welcoming community areas. Extra facilities such as an on-site visiting hairdresser, dentist and optician are added bonuses.
The staff are kind and caring. There are a wide variety of activities on offer and she can be as involved as she wants. The meals are delicious.
As I live a long way away weekly phone calls with the staff and my sister are important. We have also provided my sister with a tablet to help keep in contact.
I would definitely recommend visiting this care home to see if it will suit your needs.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is really lovely to read and I will certainly share your kind words with the team. It is a real privilege to care for your sister. She is a huge part of Cumberland Grange. Thank you, once again - we are so grateful. We look forward to seeing you soon!

All staff have training in dementia and it shows. The residents are treated with respect and dignity. Staff are caring, helpful and patient. They are genuinely interested in my mum's well-being. She is loved and is happy and settled.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so pleased to hear how happy you are and I will certainly pass on your comments to the team, I know they will be delighted. We love having Mum here, she is wonderful. We look forward to seeing you soon!

After a few weeks of settling down, Mummy is really enjoying life at Barchester Cumberland Grange Care Home. Lots of activities: singing, pub trips, flower arranging, entertainers and more, cerebral politics and pastries. Daily routines are flexed to her needs and the attention of the staff and management to her medical and care needs is great (local GP visits weekly). I visit (often with friends) and all have remarked on how "not" like a care home it looks and feels. There is a friendly and happy atmosphere in the cafe and sitting rooms; TVs and music and endless tea, coffee and cake as well as a cinema room which doubles for rugby, football and tennis on a giant screen. Individual rooms are spacious and tailored to accommodate personal pictures and furniture and all have comfy chairs and top-class TV. Dining is top-notch and the home has organised in-house dentists, opticians and hearing tests. All in all, it's a place to live: make new friends, have old friends to visit or just have quiet time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful, comprehensive review; it really is lovely to read and I will share it with the team who I know will be thrilled. We are so pleased that Mum is enjoying life at Cumberland Grange. We love having her here!

Truly exceptional service from initial visit to respite care. The staff are so kind, patient and obviously enjoy working at Barchester Cumberland Grange Care Home. I was able to leave my dad there knowing the excellent level of care he would receive. I am very grateful for the level of service, care, high quality of food, accommodation, entertainment and interest that the staff gave. Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We are really pleased to know that, as a family member, you are so happy with the service you and your dad have received. It is such a pleasure to care for Dad and both staff and residents love having him here.

From the initial contact, the staff ensured they knew him and his needs. The welcome was warm and we felt safe in the knowledge he would be well cared for.
Whilst it costs more than some, it has a smart hotel feel, which is what we needed for the time he was there.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your father and support you as his loved one throughout his respite journey here with us at Cumberland Grange.

Exceptional! Barchester Cumberland Grange Care Home has surpassed my expectations and hopes of what a residential home can offer. In terms of the building, furniture, decor etc. it resembles a five-star hotel. The food is excellent, restaurant quality and the cakes are really delicious! The range of activities, both in the home and off-site, is excellent, including welcoming the local community for a dog parade to realise a resident's dream. When we first visited, we were really impressed by the warm, welcoming attitude of all the staff. This has continued in every encounter we've had. I'm in awe of the staff who are respectful of, warm and compassionate with the residents. They are also really welcoming of family and friends and dogs! My mother is not an easy character and it is difficult to put into words how supportive the staff at Cumberland Grange have been to my mother and to me. I feel like the weight of caring for her has been lifted from me.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It really is so lovely to read, and we are very grateful that you took the time to leave us one. It is a real pleasure to care for your mother, she has settled here at Cumberland so well. I am also very pleased to hear how supported you feel, too! As...
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It really is so lovely to read, and we are very grateful that you took the time to leave us one. It is a real pleasure to care for your mother, she has settled here at Cumberland so well. I am also very pleased to hear how supported you feel, too! As this is exactly what we strive for. Happy, well-cared-for residents and happy, well-supported loved ones. We look forward to seeing you really soon!
Cumberland Grange is a new facility, well-designed with good space and decor. However, the best thing about Cumberland is the genuinely caring staff and the range of activities on offer. Staff appear to love their work, I have seen smiles, affection and gentle safe touch (holding hands with...
Activities are varied with gentle exercise, music, pets visiting and poetry. The activities are held in different spaces around the home including the memory lane area (for those residents diagnosed with dementia) so that the residents from different areas of the home connect with each other. Residents have input and are encouraged to suggest ideas for activities. Connections with the local community are also encouraged with a parent and baby group meeting onsite weekly.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is a huge privilege to care for each and every one of our residents. Enriching our resident's lives and offering lots of variety with our activities is a huge part of what we do here at Cumberland Grange. We look forward to you joining us for more activities and events soon!
The activities at Barchester Cumberland Grange Care Home are outstanding. They are imaginative, creative, diverse and inclusive at every level. Also, there is a regular visit from an Anna Chaplain.

Visitors and family members are welcome to take part in all activities with their loved ones. It is a warm and lively atmosphere in the home, expertly coordinated by the events leader.

We were all apprehensive about the move but all Mum's concerns had soon disappeared.
She is on the residential floor at the moment but knowing that when the time comes to move to memory lane she will be known by the staff which will make the transition so much easier.
The staff are amazing, so caring and cheerful, providing and accommodating all Mum's needs, even going to the library to choose her large print books.
As a private person, she was wary of joining in activities and with dietary requirements, was concerned they wouldn't be able to meet her needs.
How wonderful now to see on the home's social media pages photos of Mum choosing to join in many of the varied activities planned each week and the amazing chef who creates so many personalised dishes for her.
The outcome for us all has exceeded our expectations and we look forward to our visits as we feel very included too.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is such a pleasure to have your mum here with us. She has such a positive impact on staff and residents with her kindness and efforts in joining in with activities. Knowing that you are all happy is the reason we love what we do. We look forward to seeing you soon!

My mother-in-law moved in April 2023, she has dementia and was struggling at home. She is now much happier and seems to enjoy life again. Being a gluten-free pescatarian food has always been an issue, but the chef has been so good and kind to her. The staff really seem to care about the residents and put on so much entertainment, so there is something for everyone.
We are truly thrilled to hear such lovely feedback. It is a real privilege to care for your mother-in-law. She brings a lot of joy to everyone's day. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I had never been to a care home until August this year, and I never imagined that it would be like a hotel when you are inside - such beautiful decor, and the food is amazing.
The 2nd year anniversary last week was fantastic; such a lot of effort went into this.
I’m looking forward to the Christmas events.
My father-in-law is so happy and looks better than he was six months ago; he is 95 - it’s all to do with the care he is getting and the environment; it’s really amazing.

My dad is a resident at Cumberland Grange. He has been there for seven months and looks so much better than he did when he was living at home. I am so impressed with the staff - all so happy, helpful and loving. They had a party to celebrate two years of being open; it was such a great party - I was very impressed. The food is good, and the building and garden are lovely. I think it's the best care home in Exeter.
Thank you so much for your truly wonderful review. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care that your dad is receiving. It is a real privilege to have him here and to hear your feedback, thank you!

Hello, my name is Beth, and I am the General Manager here at Cumberland Grange.
I started my career in Care at the age of 17, which was just over 16 years ago now. My passion for Care started at a young age as my parents opened a Care Home when I was just 11 years old. Over the years, I have worked in various roles within the Care sector, gaining lots of valuable knowledge and experience along the way. With everything that I do, our residents always come first. Enriching the lives of those within my care is my priority, ensuring my residents are well cared for and happy and living a life which offers independence with support whenever needed.
My door is always open for my residents, their family members and my team. I am always happy to help with any questions that you may have, and if you would like to come and take a look around our wonderful home, please get in touch.

Hello there, I’m Avril, one of the Resident Ambassadors here at Cumberland Grange. Welcome to our home!
I came to Cumberland Grange in August 2022 after relocating from another care home just outside of London. My sister-in-law who lives in Exeter told me about Cumberland Grange, and lo and behold, I arrived here and felt very lucky to call this my new home. At this time, it hadn’t been open long and I was welcomed with opened arms and settled very quickly.
This is no ordinary care home here at Cumberland, we have a beautiful home, the team is a happy team, and us residents are a great bunch.

Hi, I'm Chris, Head Chef here at Cumberland Grange.
I have a wealth of experience in the hospitality sector, having previously worked in some of Devon's most established restaurants and gastro pubs. My passion is using locally sourced food, and creating daily menus that reflect the great variety of seasonal produce available. Overseeing the kitchen I ensure that every meal my team prepares is always freshly home-cooked, served and presented with care.
I enjoy getting to know all of our new residents, ensuring that I understand their likes, dislikes and preferences and aiming to incorporate all of these into our menu selections. Along with my kitchen team, we strive to create a menu that delivers the home-from-home dining experience that everyone living with us genuinely enjoys.
Outside of work, my passion for cooking continues and I enjoy experimenting with new flavours and recipes for my smoker and BBQ and absolutely love all things baking.

Hello, my name is Gosia and I am the Activities Co-Ordinator here at Cumberland Grange.
I have been in the care sector since 2008, and I also have a degree in teaching. I am here to arrange and run a varied Life Enrichment Programme which is full of fun activities for our residents to take part in. We do lots of different activities here which change on a regular basis, including weekly trips out in our mini bus, flower arranging, live musical performances, arts and crafts, cheese and wine nights and so much more. We also have groups which happen every week, mostly lead by our residents, including Poetry Club, Gardening Club, Politics and Pastries, Cumberland Grange Choir and Knit and Natter.
We have monthly resident meetings where we discuss life at Cumberland Grange. We talk about the activities that we currently run, including activities that our residents would like us to incorporate into the planner.
Making wishes come true is also something that we love to do. So, if our resident has a wish, together we try our best to make that happen, because life at Cumberland is about having fun and making even more special memories.
