From the time my aunt and uncle moved in they felt at home - their room is beautifully decorated and with ample place for clothes etc. Staff are absolutely wonderful and always cheerful and helpful. Lots of opportunity for mixing ie painting etc. Lots of entertainment too! I am so relieved that when
I leave to go home I know they will be okay. Everyone seems happy to be here and when I have to leave to go home I know they are in good hands.
Reply from April Jones, Reviews Team at Ivy GroveThank you, Jackie, so much for your kind words. We are thrilled to hear that your aunt and uncle felt at home from the moment they arrived.

I visited Ivy Grove to check it out before the possibility of my aunt going there for respite. As soon as I walked through the door, I knew it was the right place for my aunt. All the staff were friendly, and the residents, and I was shown the rooms and facilities, and was very impressed, and decided
that this is the place for my aunt. In the respite period, my aunt settled in really well. She enjoys the activities and chatting to the other residents and the staff, and was very happy, so much so that she is going to be a permanent resident, which makes me and the rest of her family very happy too, knowing she is being well looked after and safe.
Reply from April Jones, Reviews Team at Ivy GroveThank you Carol so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you felt Ivy Grove was right for your aunt from the very first moment. It’s wonderful to hear how well she settled during her respite stay and that she’s enjoying the activities and social life here. We are honoured to welcome her as a permanent resident and are so glad we can provide you and your family with peace of mind. Warm Regards Ivy Grove Team

My friend has lived at Ivy Grove for 5 months. Staff have very supportive, welcoming and worked hard to help her feel "at home". It was lovely that she was able to bring her own furniture, pictures & keepsakes to personalize her room. There is an impressive range of activities available to take part
in at Ivy Grove (at least 2 per day). My friend particularly enjoys the keep fit classes, Toddler music group, Bingo & live entertainment. A very high level of personalized care is given at Ivy Grove and the quality, and attention to detail of the staff and management is outstanding. Ivy Grove staff also contact me regularly to update me on her wellbeing & appointments. I love that I can make hot drinks at any time, stay for the occasional meal (which is always tasty) and that I am made to feel very welcome. I also like having the small lounge available to use when I visit for longer.
I have no regrets about choosing Ivy Grove for my friend, and highly recommend it.
Reply from April Jones, Reviews Team at Ivy GroveThank you so much for your wonderful review and for your kind words regarding Ivy Grove. We are thrilled to hear that your friend has settled in so well over the past five months. We truly believe that being able to bring personal furniture and keepsakes is vital in making a room feel like home, and it’s lovely to know this made a difference for her. It is also fantastic to hear how much she enjoys our activities. We strive to provide a high level of personalised care and transparent communication, so I’m glad you feel well-informed and supported as a friend. Our open door approach, from the guest meals to the use of our small lounge, is designed to make visitors feel just as much a part of the Ivy Grove family as our residents. Thank you once again.

Warm Regards

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad was a resident at Ivy Grove for just under three years before he sadly died in May this year. Our decision for him to move there was one of the best decisions we've ever made - he had been growing increasingly frail and lonely after my stepmother died in 2020 but absolutely thrived once he moved
into Ivy Grove because he was so well looked after.


Although he was a quiet man, he loved being around company and I could see how happy he was every time I visited him (which was often). The staff put on lots of entertainment and worked really hard to make their residents' wishes come true. Dad got to do lots of fun things and was always smiling whenever I arrived. Staff not only arranged for him to go on a private tour of a football ground while he was there but he even went up in a small plane over London at the age of 98 - which he loved!


The staff there are so kind, caring and thoughtful. Ivy Grove is a very special place.

My late mother was a resident at Ivy Grove Care home up to April 2025 when she sadly passed away. All the staff are very supportive and professional. Especially her carer, who was very caring. I would truly recommend Ivy Grove home to anyone wishing to use their care home. Every member of staff made
me feel part of a family; they always had time to talk to me and a shoulder to lean on. Keep up your good work and your professionalism.

My dad was a resident at Ivy Grove Care Home for six months until his death in November 2024. All the staff there are so kind and helpful: carers, reception, catering and management staff alike. The home itself is bright and cheerful with spacious rooms and a lovely garden and there is a broad programme
of activities. Individual outings can be arranged too which I particularly appreciated. As a non-resident I haven't given a full review of the food as I didn't have any main meals but I enjoyed the sandwiches and cakes on special occasions such as Father's Day. After dad died, I missed my daily visits to Ivy Grove so I still pop in from time to time and I am always made to feel most welcome.
Reply from April Jones, Reviews Team at Ivy GroveThank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. It means the world to us to know that our team provided such a kind and helpful environment for your father. We genuinely appreciate you still popping in from time to time; you'll always be met with a warm welcome. Your continued connection means a lot to everyone here at Ivy Grove. Many thanks, Ivy Grove team.

I am very impressed with all the staff of the home from the manager down. They all seem to know the residents well and engage fully with them including my next of kin, and her needs are certainly being met and she accepts and trusts them which wasn't the case when she had daily carers at home who she
viewed with suspicion. The care, activities, decor and general ambience is great.

I can't speak highly enough of this care home. They looked after my father-in-law until he passed. The whole team are the most caring people I have ever met. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them. The rooms are lovely and kept spotless. The furniture they provide is excellent. The food is all
freshly prepared and the choice is amazing. They have entertainment daily and make sure all the residents are happy. Any medical issues are reported to a doctor who visits the home regularly. My father-in-law was so happy here.

As a family, we were dreading the day that mum would need to go into a care home. From the moment mum was visited by the Home Admission Team at her home, I felt that we were leaving mum in good hands. On the day of moving in, mum was a bit upset and within minutes the care team had mum settled and smiling.
And before long mum was off helping to lay the tables with staff andmeeting the other residents. Mum has been at the Ivy since March and has settled in brilliantly thanks to the fantastic staff at the Ivy. The whole team that helps to run the Ivy, make family members always welcome when you arrive at the home. The home is clean and the food menu choices are fantastic. The home has a great daily activity program, that the residence always happily participates in. We as a family are very pleased that we found the Ivy Care home for mum. And I would recommend this care home to anyone looking for long- or short-term care. Thanks again to all the team at Ivy for taking great care of our mum.

We were so worried about mum going into a care home, but from the moment she arrived she was made to feel so welcome and like she was part of the Ivy Grove family. Mum loves music and dancing and all the staff make time to put music on and have a dance with her. When we visit she is always off chatting
to other residents or staff who are always very engaging. We are always offered drinks and snacks when we visit which is lovely to have a cuppa with mum. And there is always some activity going on whether it's a singer, an exercise class or trips out. The food at Ivy Grove is superb always delicious and there is a choice, mum certainly enjoys it. The staff at Ivy Grove are amazing from the Domestics, Laundry ladies, Cooks, Carers, Entertainment, Hairdresser, Receptionists and Management they all make time for the residents, to make sure they are happy and treated with dignity. We are so blessed that mum was placed in this wonderful caring home.

My dad initially went into Ivy Grove for a four-week respite stay. At the end of that time, he had settled in and decided to become a full-time resident.
From my initial contact with the administration staff to settling Dad in, all the staff have been warm and welcoming. The home is well-managed and
organised. We are emailed regularly and kept up to date with menus and information for the coming week. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.
All areas of the home are clean and bright, the menu is varied and Dad says the food is good and there is a lot of it! Anything he asks for he seems to get.
The team of staff are exceptionally kind and thoughtful, talking to the residents as they pass by and sitting with them in the lounge.
All Dad's visitors have said the home is the best they have been in.
I would recommend Ivy Grove to anyone considering moving into a care home.

My sister has only been a resident in Ivy Grove Care Home for eight weeks but the staff have all been so welcoming and everything, so far, has been excellent as far as my sister's needs are concerned.
Unfortunately, I don't think my sister is able to show her appreciation but we are hoping, as time
passes, she will.
Thank you for the "care" on offer, we would have wished for her to stay in her own home but sadly, it wasn't possible. Many thanks once again.

(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 = 3.9
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 16 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.

Jacob Mante

Job Title: General Manager

I share Care UK’s ethos, and I am proud to be a part of the Ivy Grove family.


My experience working as a General Manager at Ivy Grove has been very fulfilling. I work closely with my team to deliver high-quality care and a person-centred lifestyle to all of our residents at the home.


I hold a graduate diploma in law, and I am proud to have achieved a 1st class degree in nursing. In this role, it is important to have good interpersonal skills, and empathy, and to be transparent in everything that I do. My favourite part of the day is when I start in the morning and interact with my team and the residents—it’s always nice to see smiles on the residents' faces at the start of the day.


Outside of work, I play football, tennis, and rugby with my friends. I also look forward to spending time with my children and being a part of the activities that they are in. I am always proud to see their achievements, be they big or small.
