We visit all residents that are happy to see us, and George is a big hit with the staff who love a cuddle too. I love to see a big smile on everyone's face when they get to cuddle my dog George. George loves everyone at Cheshire Grange ( and getting treats at reception, and the odd bit of toast is especially nice)!!

My Nan is cared for excellently in every way. We could not ask for a better service. Staff are lovely, there's always someone there to help, and getting in contact over the phone if something is wrong.

She's is very well looked after from friend staff from day interaction at meal times to bathing. Staff are really friendly with the family from the lady at the sign in desk to the nurses looking after the residents and my nan clearly loves being in the care home. I really cannot rate this care home enough.

The staff are second to none. Always kind, helpful, understanding and endlessly patient.

When entering the nursing home it is clean and fragrant but sometimes there is an odour in the corridors and I think a room spray in the corridors may be a help. My mother is self-funding and it's frighteningly expensive.

Extremely high standards, excellent communications. The first thing I noticed was how clean it was, it actually smelled clean when I entered, always a good sign. My mother was treated with the highest regard and greatest of care. I have nothing to report. A great place to place a loved one.

My mum came to Cheshire Grange having spent eight weeks in hospital. Mum never mentions going home as this is her home. She is comfortable and content. The design of the building is superb, with easy access doors, a welcoming area in the cafe, wide corridors, a relaxing lounge and a garden to reflect upon your visit. The staff here are truly amazing, friendly, compassionate and joyful. Mum is exceptionally well cared for, with attention to her every need. I always look forward to visiting my mum, and whatever the future brings, I feel totally supported.
Thank you for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Thank you also for your positive comments regarding our home and team, who work hard to deliver high standards of quality care at all times. I will pass on your feedback to the team.
Excellent throughout, although more care/training is required concerning recharging and use of hearing aids. Two have been "lost" over the last 9 months or so and at £1800.00 each this is no small consideration.

My sister has been in the brilliant care of the staff at Cheshire Grange for approximately six years. She has a neurological condition and has difficulty communicating with her carers and the medical staff. Despite this, the staff have been superb in ensuring that she enjoys the best possible care and that her needs are constantly monitored, assessed and immediately dealt with. I cannot praise the staff too highly and the facilities are second to none. A massive thank you to the manager and all her brilliant staff at Cheshire Grange.

My dad changed homes after being in another home and neglected. He ended up in hospital for 3.5 weeks. I went to look at Cheshire Grange and before viewing upstairs I knew this home was the most amazing home for Dad. The staff are just family all working so closely together for the best care for each and every resident. Unfortunately, Dad passed away after 10 days. The care, love, empathy and total dedication of every member of the staff were truly amazing. We cannot praise everyone enough for all they have done. Thank you will never be enough.

Everyone involved was so kind and caring and made me very welcome when visiting.
The decision to transfer a loved one to the care of others is very difficult but it was the right one as I was able to spend more quality time with Dad in his last months.

Where do I begin and how do I ever thank you for making the decision to take Mum into your care at Cheshire Grange? As you know, since her head injury she had terrible experiences and never settled and seemed to constantly be in mental and physical pain. It was very traumatic at times for me to watch. When she came out of Warrington Hospital into the warmth of Cheshire Grange and the brilliant, brilliant nurses, carers, housekeepers, chefs and the lovely lady on reception (I hope I haven't missed anybody!) I knew that Mum was in safe, caring hands. To one member of staff, in particular, I will never ever forget your face, voice, hugs and kindness. You were my rock I could turn to. Without your reassurance and keeping me updated, I would be a far sadder person than I am today. The comfort we have is that Mum passed away in the most beautiful, calm, professional caring home. Thank you to everybody at Cheshire Grange, you are family to us.
Sincere condolences to you and the family at this difficult time. Thank you for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Thank you also for your positive comments regarding our home and team, who work hard to deliver high standards of quality care at all times. I will pass on your feedback to the team.

Welcome to Cheshire Grange Care Home; my name is Dawn and I am the General Manager here.
I have been working within the care sector for the past 15 years, I started my career as a support worker supporting adults with learning disabilities, and later I was promoted to team coordinator, after I was promoted to Head of service managing 3 services. Due to my own personal circumstances, I developed a real interest and passion for improving dementia care, this led to my transition into older people's care first as a deputy manager, and then finally as a registered manager.
I then went on to become a qualified person-centred dementia care trainer and was fortunate enough to be trained by Teepa Snow, who is one of the leading educators on dementia and the care that accompanies it.
Throughout my 15 years of experience that spanned across different providers, I have acquired tremendous knowledge and understanding of the care sector, and I have gained valuable insight into both the challenges and the rewards of delivering high standards of quality and person-centred care.
As the General Manager I aim to ensure that my team continue to deliver a high standard of person-centred care to our residents, placing them at the heart of everything we do. I believe in an open-door policy with everyone here at our home. Do feel free to pop in and meet our wonderful team and ask any questions that you may have, we are all more than happy to help.
