My uncle John lived at Melwood Grange for 11 months before he passed away. He really liked living there and made lots of friends. He especially enjoyed the music & singing entertainment that the home provides. He had been very lonely living on his own before moving in, and I saw a huge improvement in him over the 11 months that he was with you all - Thank you to all the staff, you are all wonderful.
Thank you for your review and our condolences for your loss. It's good to know that your uncle enjoyed the time he spent at Melwood Grange and that it helped him connect with a friendship group and improve generally. It's wonderful that he must have felt so much less lonely.

My Mother went in to Melwood Grange for 3 months respite following surgery. We could not have found a better home for her. Every single member of staff were wonderful and beyond kind and caring. The staff almost became like family and we were very sad when it was time to leave. The whole place is spotlessly clean and fresh with wonderful facilities. Alison the manager runs the home exceptionally well yet is still so kind and caring to all the residents and always makes the effort to chat to them. I had never visited a care home like this before and it exceeded our expectations in every way.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are delighted that your mothers respite stay at Melwood Grange was such a positive experience and that you both felt so at home. Your comments about the kindness shown by Alison and the whole team will mean a great deal to them. It was a pleasure to support your mother during her recovery, and we send you both our very best wishes.
The care home is spotless and there are lots of activities for my mother to join in with.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this care home

Thank you for your lovely review and wholehearted recommendation. We are delighted that your mother feels so well cared for and that you value the kindness and respect she receives. It is also lovely to hear your positive comments about the home and the activities available. We will be pleased to share your feedback with our colleagues.
Staff have welcomed mum back after a 4-week stay in hospital and she is very happy to be back among friendly faces and the clean and comfortable environment. They have adapted to her new need for soft food and gentle walking practice and are taking extra care to ensure she is safe and pain free.

Thank you for your review of Melwood Grange. It's great that your mum is out of hospital and back at the home again. We're pleased that she's happy to be back among the friendly faces in the home.

A very modern and relatively new Care Home. Staff are very caring and work very hard constantly supporting sometimes complex residents, and sometimes understaffed as is the nature of the industry. The safety of the residents and staff is paramount and the home has dealt with some awkward situations professionally and empathetically. Staff appear to be happy here also. Very happy my mother is here despite the cost but Social Care is an expensive business everywhere.
Thank you for your review of Melwood Grange. We're so pleased that you're happy that your mother is at the home. And thank you for your kind words about the staff and how hard they work.

My mother became a resident in January 2026; this is the 3rd home she's been to in 2 years. Melwood Grange offers mum a beautifully designed and comfortable room adjusted to her needs, comfortable communal areas. Every single member of the staff has been caring, supportive and friendly to mum and her visitors. The care team encourage her to be her own person, but what they've achieved that the other care homes didn't is helping my mum build some new friendships. Medication is given correctly, when mum has needed a medic this has been arranged and reported back to us in a timely and professional manner. If you are seeking a comfortable caring home for a loved one with good communication I would highly recommend Melwood Grange.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Were truly pleased to hear your mum feels comfortable, supported, and able to build new friendships with us. It means a great deal to our whole team, and well continue to do everything we can to provide the best care and communication for her and your family.

Caring staff, who always have time for a chat. The food is very good, always a good sized serving and lots of choice. Also if you don't want the main choice, or only want a snack the catering staff are always happy to accommodate the request. Access to healthcare is really brilliant - care staff handover requests and I have been able to see a Doctor if necessary. Really appreciate the variety of activities available both as a group or individually.
Thank you so much for your kind review. Were delighted to hear you enjoy the care, food, healthcare support and activities, and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

My mum has been at Melwood Grange for just over a year now. In that time her care has been exemplary she wants for nothing! All of the staff including care, catering, housekeeping and administration have been great. Any issues have been addressed quickly and politely. Mum enjoys a wide and varied diet, regular activities and a beautiful room. Neither she nor I have any qualms in recommending Melwood Grange. Thank you!

My mum always receives the utmost care and has done for the 12 months she has lived at Melwood Grange. She is happy and well looked after and her needs are always met. She recently had a need to see the visiting GP, over and above regular appointments, and we were kept informed from the staff. Mum often talks about her interactions with her carers, but also management and other day to day staff, all in a positive light. We couldn't be more happier with Melwood Grange and how they support mum.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We're so pleased to hear that you're happy with your mum's care at Melwood Grange and that you've had positive experience. Your comments are much appreciated and will mean a great deal to the staff at the home.

Melwood Grange is the stand out care home in the area. My mother is very happy here which gives me peace of mind. A care home is only as good as its management and staff. I cannot find fault with either at Melwood.

Even though, at times, my mother's behaviour could become difficult, at no point did any of the staff or care team complain. They provided her with dignified and professional support.
I would like to thank the senior team and care staff for their unwavering standard of care.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We understand how difficult the decision can be when choosing a nursing home for a loved one, and we're truly honoured that you entrusted Melwood Grange with your mother's care.It means a great deal to know that our accommodation, facilities, and, most importantly, our team made a positive difference during her time with us.

The home is lovely in decor. The rooms are comfortable and welcoming.
Dad has settled well. This was a surprise as a previous two week respite in another home, 6 months earlier, in another town (not the same company), didn't go very well.
Dad has Alzheimer's and Melwood show great experience caring for residents with all needs, especially as everyone's dementia journey is different.
The staff are caring and extremely knowledgeable. They are always on hand to ask questions. They also keep you updated.
So far, we are extremely happy with Dad's care and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

I cannot say enough good things about Melwood Grange: the staff, the food, the large room, the cafe, absolutely everything. My mum has only been here for 9 days, but she was asked how she likes it and she said, "I love it!", and then she listed all the things she won't have to do anymore., like cooking and cleaning. She has enjoyed planting bulbs in the 1st floor garden, and is looking forward to watching her favourite films in the theatre. I am beyond happy that my mum has settled in so well. Thank you to all of the staff for being incredible.

In the last few days of her life, I witnessed first-hand the marvellous care and affection the staff gave her.
She was always a character, vocal about her needs and not always patient!
Although she could be challenging at times, the staff managed her so brilliantly and with such calmness.
The manager, carers, kitchen and housekeeping staff all went the extra mile for her.
She happily recounted all the special things they did for her and that made her feel special, cared for and most important of all, heard.
Above all else, it was the interaction and genuine care she received, that made all the staff her 'family' for the past 5 1/2 years.
My family and I cannot thank the staff enough for allowing us to pass our precious family member into their loving care.
We will always champion the work of your care workers, they are all exceptional.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It was a privilege to care for your mother-in-law, and we're deeply touched to know she felt like part of our family. Your support means the world to our team.

I spent 2 weeks at Melwood, to provide some respite for my wife, who has been looking for after me following a cancer diagnosis. I believe I was the first tenant of room no. 1. I was extremely impressed by the building and nice staff - with very slight problems being due to bedding - in kitchen (breakfast an hour late every day). Things were already improving when I left. I certainly hope they have a vacancy cover I need full-time care.
I'm glad to hear that your stay at Melwood was positive overall, and it's great that things were improving by the time you left. I hope they can accommodate your needs for full-time care in the future. Wishing you and your wife all the best during this time.

I came to Melwood Grange in January 2025, it was a shock to be honest but I had become unwell and was making my condition worse by medicine errors! I find the staff to be so caring and thoughtful. They made me realise we need help sometimes, it is no shame! They do anything and everything with a smile and a good heart. I thought I would be lonely but the staff take the time to chat + befriend is. The home is filling up very fast. The meals are really good and lots of it! Lost 3 stone before I came here, down to 7 stone, but putting weight on well. Staff keep popping in to say hello which is lovely! Thank you
