The family are happy with the care that mom receives. She settled in well. Home from home. The staff and carers are all very pleasant. She really loves the Banter she has with them.

My father was in for respite and we were very happy with the care he received during his 2 weeks stay. The rooms were extremely clean and the facilities excellent but most importantly the carers always had time for him.

My father is a quiet and humble man, thus going into an environment that requires more contact with people than he has normally been used to was extremely daunting for him, and a major concern for us, his family. Neither he nor us knew what to expect. We needn't have worried. Foley Grange very quickly
put all our concerns behind us. My father was at ease with his surroundings extremely quickly. The excellent management team, the care team, actually, every one of the wonderful team at Foley Grange, seem to go that extra mile to make sure the best possible care is given. It's so wonderful how the Foley crew made father feel like he's one of the family and in a very comfortable home. We would highly recommend Foley Grange to anyone who wishes the best care for their loved one.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Foley GrangeThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our home. We are pleased to hear that your dad has settled into the surroundings of his new home so well, and that you are very happy with the quality of care he receives at Foley Grange care home we will ensure your kind words are shared with the team. Again, thank you for your positive comments.

Such a helpful and kind team @ Foley. I have experienced other friend's relatives in care and this home is by far the best. Such a lovely caring and kind team, nothing is ever any trouble at all.
The home is immaculate, and it is so lovely that they allow the residents to help out when they want to.
Gives them their independence, and makes them feel a part of the home.

My mum has been in Foley Grange Care home since November 2023, she has now settled in very well. The staff are friendly and caring towards Mum and make you feel welcome any time of the day when visiting. In recent months Mum has not been very well after 3 nasty falls, the staff looked after her well
and made sure her needs were fulfilled. The cleanliness, laundry, activities, food and drink are excellent. Knowing Mum is being looked after 24/7 has been very comforting to me. Thank you Foley Grange.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I went to Foley Grange for 2 Weeks of respite in April. I was looking to find out what care home living was like. The facilities there are excellent, nothing is ‘missing’. The care I received was excellent, as were the staff, nothing was too much trouble and they all seemed happy. Cleanliness is clearly
paramount. It was spotless. The food and drink were both varied and abundant, and very nice! Management was excellent, if something wasn’t as you expected, you just needed to say. Safety and security were not an issue at any time, my room was lovely, I particularly liked the 3/4 bed! I don’t feel qualified to comment on ‘activities ‘ as I wasn’t there long enough, but there always seemed to be something going on! Similarly, with ‘value for money ‘ I don’t know what local care homes charge, so I don’t feel qualified to comment. Overall I enjoyed my 2 weeks in Foley Grange thank you to everyone, both staff and residents.

My friend has been in the care home for approximately 2 years and I have been visiting him every week.
The staff are very friendly and caring towards the residents and make you feel welcome when visiting no matter what time of day. It has been a welcoming experience when I have been asked to stay for
lunch as it makes it more personal for the person you are visiting.
Always get asked if I would like a drink when visiting.
The staff always have a caring approach.
Excellent work.

My mother has been looked after for 16 months at Foley Grange. In that time, the staff have been wonderful with her, and I'm sure if Mum hadn't got this awful dementia, she would have dung their praises also.

My Mum never thought that she would end up in a home as she always said she 'wasn't a herd animal'. However, her mobility issues, due to her Parkinson's, were becoming steadily worse and she was becoming increasingly afraid of falling at home. Coming to Foley Grange has been a revelation to her. She
is treated with dignity and respect by all of the staff and is beginning to make friendships. Her life has taken on a richness and variety that was lacking before as she was isolated and lonely living in a house that she loved but which had become too big for her. She loves having nothing to worry about any more, all her needs are being met, she loves the food and she has a much more interesting social life due to all of the daily planned activities which means that she is not relying upon the TV for company. It is such a relief to her and her family to have peace of mind knowing that she is now living in a warm, safe and secure environment. Mum is happy and content, so thank you Foley Grange.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Foley GrangeHistorically, for people of your mum’s generation, care homes did not have the best reputation but I think it’s fair to say that Foley Grange is a world away from the home she was imagining. At Ideal Carehomes we have worked hard to ensure our homes are a cut above, this is why we invite everyone in to visit any time to see what life inside the home is really like – a bustling, busy atmosphere with plenty to do! We are so glad we could change your mum’s mind, it’s a pleasure to have her with us.

Dad came to this care home in September. He always said he wanted to stay at home. Unfortunately, his dementia progressed and started going out in the evening and forgetting where he lived. I live in Birmingham.
Dad's first week in the home was good, he settled well, appears to have accepted the home.
He said he was comfortable and well looked after and enjoyed the meals.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Foley GrangeWe know that the idea of moving to a care home can be worrying, especially for someone who lives with dementia, and it’s important that we do everything we can to help our residents settle and feel safe, happy and cared for. We are so pleased that your dad is settling and that we can take some of the worry away from you. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Having worked in care for a very long time I can only say that all care homes should be like Foley Grange, this home is amazing, not just the fixtures and fittings but the whole experience of an elderly person living there, nothing is too much trouble, the staff go above and beyond each person is treated
with love and care.
There never seems to be a week that goes by when the staff are trying to encourage different activities, functions and parties for the residents to enjoy.

Foley Grange is a beautiful home. The facilities are excellent. My Dad has been at Foley Grange for eight months and I generally have no worries. Ideally, we would have liked Dad to have remained at home but sadly this could not be. The staff on the first floor along with management laundry housekeeping
and kitchen are all very kind and caring. I feel that the staff go that extra mile trying to involve residents and fill their days with activities and trips to barbers, the pub, bowling, and garden centres. We are always made welcome as a family and have built up good relationships with the staff. I feel that although Dad's Dementia is progressing quite rapidly this is a home I am happy for him to be at. Well done Foley Grange and thank you.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Foley GrangeThank you for this lovely review. We know that stimulation and activity helps our residents thrive and in many cases can help slow down the progression of Dementia, but more than that it makes Foley Grange a happy, bustling place to be!

My mum spent the last few months of her life at Foley Grange and I truly wish she had moved in there much much earlier than she did. The home is so thoughtfully designed and well built and equipped, so beautifully furnished and decorated, and the staff are so friendly, helpful and professional, the
care given to Mum was better than I could ever have imagined or hoped for, and I can honestly say that her general health and welfare appeared to be better than I can recall seeing her at any point over the last 15 years.
We always visited unannounced and always found her to be clean, well presented and very well cared for. I cannot thank the staff at Foley Grange enough, for how they have cared for Mum. Well done Foley Grange.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Foley GrangeThank you for taking the time to send such a lovely review. We are honoured that we got to spend those last months caring for your mum and that you were able to see the love and care that she received. Everything about our home, from the building to the menus to the staff training is designed to allow our residents to thrive and it’s lovely to know that your mum's final months were so well-lived.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Foley Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.769 for Foley Grange is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.769
  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 Foley Grange is based on 32 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
