My mother was transferred here from the hospital at the beginning of March. At first, we were encouraged by the fact that this is a modern care home that seems to be providing care at the required standard. However, as time went by we became aware of a lack of information and communication. This was especially during the period that the home had Covid, when we were not kept abreast of the results that affected the visiting arrangements. Having been in the home a month the initial assessment was sent to the CHC Group without consultation or provision of a copy. We were told that there was no chance of us receiving funding because her needs were not great enough. Rather belatedly we have now been informed by the CHC that she is eligible for Nursing Care Funding although, as yet, the home has not made us aware of this. We have now moved my mother to a Care Home nearer to us and so far we have to say that the experience is totally different with much improved communication.
We are very grateful for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear you have not found our service up to your expectations. We reflect on each feedback and suggestions received to ensure lessons learned for the benefit of our service, residents and staff.
My mother has been at the care home for coming up to 7 years now. Having a parent with dementia is heartbreaking and I have watched her slowly retreat into not being able to speak or move. I live in London and whenever I visit I go with such a heavy heart knowing she's unable to understand what is...
The carers here are exceptional - I know I couldn't do their job and I am full of respect for them and all they do for our families and I'm sure for a low wage. If you do ever have to put a relative into a home this is the one for them.

Our staff take great pride in the care they provide to our residents who are very much part of our own extended families.

Mum deserved the very best we could do for her and believe me, that's exactly what she received from the manager and all the staff at Blandford Grange. It is so apparent...
Thank you all from me and the family.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our home in what must be a very difficult time for you and your family. Your mother and yourself will be missed by the staff and residents here and we will remember her fondly in so many ways. Thank you for your kind words which will be passed on to our staff.
I am very happy with the level of care my husband has received over the last 10 months. Nothing is too much trouble for the care and activity staff.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our home. We value the opinions of our relatives and friends and it is good to hear that you are having a positive experience.
It's been a difficult 18 months with Covid restrictions in place to maintain contact but the care home have done their best in difficult circumstances to ensure mum's safety and happiness. They have always been approachable and understanding. Mum enjoys her stay and is happy.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review about our home. As a home, we have had so much support from our relatives during the past 18 months, and we are very grateful for the positive manner in which our relatives have embraced all the changes with us. Your mother is a delight to have in the home, and it is good to hear that she is content and happy in the home and that her short stay has turned into a permanent residence with us.
Very difficult to make a full review as I have never been into the home all the time my sister was a resident there. Care seemed a little lacking at first but it improved vastly over the latter months.

Thank you very much for taking the time offering a review of the care we offered toward your sister for her time with us. It is sad that due to restrictions, you could not properly see the levels of care that we ensured were received. But as you mention, the overall care resulted in huge delight for us as a team, to watch your sister walk from the building of her own accord when she left to return home.We were humbled to have the opportunity to assist her with her care needs to gain such a result. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance again going forward. Many Thanks

This support will stay with me always. Staff had gone above and beyond in our time of need. My dad passed in peace, with dignity and feeling loved. I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of our home, especially during this difficult time for you and your family. Your father was well-liked and loved by all staff and we have fond memories of him, especially when he was still able to joke with everyone around him.

Her personality has changed so much in the time she has been at Blandford Grange. She laughs and smiles so much now - something that had been missing before. She loves people popping in to say hello and has a good laugh with everyone. Every need is tended to quickly and without fuss.
Thank you so much for your very kind review of our home. We are delighted to read that your mum seems to be so happy in our care and that her wellbeing has improved since being with us.

My Dad has been in Blandford Grange for 2 years and I can honestly say he has been treated with the best care and compassion throughout by the carers. Especially now when visiting is not possible. He always seems so happy and loves the food. Although he is not quite so coherent as he was the video calls we have had with him are amazing as the activity team( one lovely lady in particular) make him so aware of who he is talking to and he interacts so well, with lots of smiles and memories. So to sum up I couldn't wish for my Dad to be in a better place.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home. We appreciate your kindness and the recognition given to the dedication of our staff. Our activities team have gone to great lengths to ensure that regular contact is maintained with our relatives through these changing times.

One thing that doesn't get rated often is Communication, It was good to get relevant updated on things such as the Covid outbreak and what actions were being taken, which was a serious load off our minds. Being kept up to date with the homes/loved one's activities a having face time arranged kept us all sane.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home and for your very kind words. Our residents are all part of our own extended families and it means the world to us when that is recognised. Your family will be missed by so many of us and your kindness to us during your own difficulties are much appreciated. We hope that we will be able to meet again when restrictions are being lifted.
March was the last time I was able to visit my parents. It's always a friendly and welcoming home. Staff are friendly, approachable and always ready to help with any request. Happy knowing my mother is being well looked after.

Thank you for your kind review of our home. We take pride in the care that we provide to our residents and being available for relatives when needed.
I am extremely happy with the love, care and attention my wife is receiving. The staff are always so kind and helpful when I phone during the current lockdown situation. I was recently sent a photograph and was delighted to see how well she looked.

Blandford Grange responded to the pandemic in a highly effective lockdown before the slow government advice. I hope that they continue to have all the support they deserve.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words. We will pass the positive comments on to the staff. All our care staff and the activities team have worked extremely hard to ensure we maintain contact with relatives and friends during the lockdown.
It is great being able to sleep at night knowing that my mum is being looked after so well. I am very happy with the high level of care, kindness and love shown towards my mother at the Grange.

Sharon decided to work at Healthcare Homes as she wanted to get back into good old-fashioned cooking.
Prior to joining Healthcare Homes, Sharon was a head chef/Manager at a school for autistic children.
She believes you need to be passionate about your role, have very high standards and enjoys what you are doing. Be adaptable, reliable and friendly to be good in her role.
The favourite part of her working day is serving lunches to residents and receiving feedback from them and seeing residents enjoying their meals.
