Following the take over, despite the unavoidable turn over of staff, I have found the new management team to be very professional and capable. yes, there have been some teething problems and shortage of staff, but my experience has been a quick resolution to any concerns raised. Standards are now higher,
and staff more experienced. I feel very relaxed and happy that mum is in good hands and will be looked after. Carry on the great work!!

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My mum has always been very well cared for here but unfortunately since Amya have taken over it has declined terribly. My mums room is not being cleaned properly and the general cleanliness of the home has gone downhill. staff are amazing and do there very best but they are overworked by management
with no cover if staff are off sick. We as a family have noticed this since the takeover and are very concerned. The staff work so hard and give there upmost but they all look tired and drained. management need to look at these reviews since the changeover and seek immediate improvement. Seems to us that they now care more about making money than residents wellbeing.

When looking for a nursing home for my grandmother I chose this one due to the amount of activities they had, the cleanliness, and overall welcoming compared to others I had viewed. It's changed hands recently and I expected a bumpy ride but hands down it's been brilliant. The care has remained top
notch, so has the activities. If I ever have a query or issue it's addressed instantly and rectified. It took a lot of faith for me to trust anyone with my loved one but now I don't worry, I know she's in safe hands and with amazing caring people. So much that my 5 year old nephew always asks to go to visit over going on a day trip as he loves it there so much. Hopefully this home is around when I need care

I'm very saddened of the Negative changes that have been made since Amaya have taken over from.
It was a real family feel about the home when mum went in around 16 months ago , we were happy leaving her when we had to leave knowing she was being well looked after .
It is now a contrast of those
days, staff are leaving across every board of titles - carers , clerical, chefs , cleaners . The staff that are left there are doing the utmost best , but can only do what they can when being so short staffed. I'd also like to thank the staff that haven't walked out a big thank you for going above and beyond in your role .

We as a family are very worried regarding our mother's care. This is now a business and it is evident that making a large profit from vulnerable adults is the way they will be functioning. It is very sad situation for the residents.

Very worrying! Since Capel Grange has been taken over there has been a very noticeable decline. The number of staff that have left is very concerning, this is across the board from clerical, carers and nursing. One nurse is now expected to cover two units and three carers to one unit. The staff morale
is rock bottom but still trying their very best to give our loved ones the love and care they deserve. I like to thank all the carers and nurses for all their hard work

My mum is well cared for & the staff are amazing, however since Amaya have taken over the home seems to be on the decline.
Most days they are under staffed & the staff that are there are over run, scared to speak and look generally run down.
There has been 1 nurse covering 2 units which is unacceptable,
not only for the residents but the nurses too. They are running staff into the ground in my opinion and when they are off sick they get no one to cover them. Leaving units under staffed. Myself, and many relatives of the residents are getting very concerned.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very kind and helpful. My mothers room and bathroom are kept very clean. The hallways and general rooms are clean and tidy. The facilities such as hairdresser and activities are good. The food is good and there seems to be some choice. The decor is a little dated on Kestrel wing which
can make the hallways dark. I think a coffee machine in the conservatory would be a lovely addition as most people enjoy a barista type coffee as they cannot go out much. Residents could buy own pods. I think the cleaning staff and careworkers do a fantastic job and have made my mother feel at home. We have had some issues regarding laundry which has meant spending more money on clothes which have disappeared and boiling all items is not necessary. Overall a very good care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my daughter were looking for a nursing home that could facilitate my brother who has Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia and also needed nursing care for other complaints. From the moment we rang and spoke to the receptionist about the procedure and waiting time scale, we were invited down
straight away, she is such an amazing person who made us feel at ease as soon as we met her! We were shown all around Capel Grange and we were absolutely blown away by the facility and what they do, everyone wants the best care for loved ones, so they arranged an assessment for my brother who was in the hospital, and before we knew it we were doing up a room with all his familiar bits, they put pictures up and made us feel so welcome, the receptionist introduced us to all the members of staff. My brother was transferred from the hospital into a home-from-home, I cannot praise the receptionist and all the staff enough it is unbelievable how kind, considerate, and caring they all are.

Capel Grange is an airy and spacious environment with a lovely outside garden space.
The fact that I believe every room is en suite is a bonus.
Both the care team and nursing team are exceptional.
I feel Mum is looked after well 24/7.

Capel Grange is fantastic Home. The care that my mother receives is out of this world. All staff are very hard-working and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them.

During my initial enquiry, the staff at Capel Grange Care Home were very helpful, professional and kind. It was a difficult decision to move my mum but they put my mind at rest, showing me around, allowing me to speak to residents and answering all my questions.
Once we were ready to go ahead, they
allowed us to decorate her room so that it looked more like home and they were genuinely keen that Mum could feel that this is her home and they are there to make it as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
She has been there for six weeks and is generally just as happy as she was at home. Knowing that she is safe and well cared for has helped both her and her family to adjust to this big change in her life. The daily activities give her something to look forward to and the food is fantastic.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and without exception they are all kind, friendly and caring. There are very few restrictions on visitors and this is very important for Mum and her family and friends.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.902) out of 10 for Capel Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.208 for Capel Grange is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (18 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.208
  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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Capel Grange is based on 10 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.694
  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.
