Very disappointing, dad did not receive the care he was expecting. His shower did not work for the duration of his stay. The curtains were hanging off and even though reported it took over a week and a further complaint for them to be put right. Dad fell in the bathroom and waited 28 minutes for someone to help him.

What a wonderful care home is Bucklesham Grange Care Home. Not only do they love and look after my husband, but they love and look after the family as well. I really don't know what to do without them all. They certainly make our lives worth living.

Wonderful residential home. Could not ask for anything better. The welcome given to my mother-in-law was out of this world and broke any barriers she had about living here. Wonderful and caring staff all around. Cannot recommend this care home highly enough.

This place is absolutely fabulous. The staff cannot do enough for my mum. She is from the war generation and has said many times that she would not go into a care home.

We were looking for a safe and friendly new home for my mother. She has now been here at Bucklesham Grange for about a month and we have seen her settle in and feel safe and well looked after. A place can only ever be as good as the staff - the staff at Bucklesham Grange are outstanding - they care, they make time for my mum and they really treat her like royalty. She is loved here and we could not ask for more. As well as that, the food and facilities are outstanding. I can only wish that I live in a place like this for my final days.
Her smile...

It's such a pleasure to care for Dad and he is a truly delightful character within the community. #TeamBuckleshamGrange always love welcoming residents' family, friends and visitors.

Totally outstanding - the large majority of staff go above and beyond their day job! I do not have the words to be able to convey how dedicated and lovely they are. Their relationships with my aunt were genuine and heartfelt, these individuals mattered so much to her, especially at a time in her life when comfort/support become a necessity again. It was never just a carer relationship they had with her, they are unique and very special people. I will never be able to thank them enough.
Many thanks for such an outstanding review! Reading such beautiful comments that are really heartfelt, we love to care and are glad that it truly shines through during each residents journey with us. Building great relationships with each of our residents is indeed very special and unique. Thank you again for sharing such a genuinely outstanding review.
Throughout the setting, there is a very high standard of care. Not just those giving care but from all the various areas of the home. Whilst these soft skills are clearly at a very high level, the other obvious element is professionalism.

It is very kind of you to complete this review for Bucklesham Grange. We are all proud to read your comments and especially highlighting all of the areas within the home. You can clearly see and have experienced this through the care for your parent, right from the planning stages to becoming a resident here in the beautiful home. Thank you for your time taken to complete this for us all.
Would not hesitate to recommend Bucklesham Grange to any new resident. Everything is done with thought and caring. I am really over the moon on my first visit to the home. Glad this was the home we chose as it meets all expectations. Well done Bucklesham Grange.

Thank you for your kind review. It is our absolute pleasure to read your comments with regards to Mum's care at Bucklesham Grange. You have really highlighted some great areas that we love to share with all who are 'Looking For A Care Home' possibly for a Relative or Loved One. Many thanks
Very proactive in identifying and dealing with issues and worked hard at getting Mum settled. Nothing was too much bother. The carers got Mum involved in activities. We are really glad that we chose this care home.

Many thanks for reviewing Bucklesham Grange Care Home. It's always heartwarming to hear that you have chosen the right care setting for Mum. Mum is a superstar within the community and team Bucklesham Grange, really love caring and have seen what fabulous progress she has made from day one. We love guiding you as a family through this process and wishing Mum a successful next chapter.

They have done so well in trying circumstances. Well done. Mum has been very happy, in as much as she can be with advanced dementia. The staff are compassionate and well trained. There are noticeably less staff at weekends and when the only method of interaction, is facetime, it would be nice if staff were familiar with Mum. Makes a lot of difference if they know her!

Many thanks for taking the time to review us - indeed the last two years have been challenging for everybody not just #TeamBuckleshamGrange. The team are regularly rota'd ensuring cover is at the same levels every day of the week. New team members have started recently and are getting to know Mum with her likes, dislikes and routines. Together with the support of the team who have been at Bucklesham Grange for a long time they are really getting to know mum well.Mum is incredibly caring to all, often asks us how we are feeling on a daily basis and always greets us with a huge smile.

The team and myself are thankful for your kind words.
It is lovely to care for Mum, and we all enjoy spending time with her and supporting all of her needs.
Glad you mentioned the coffee! - We always give a warm welcome to residents, relatives, family and friends.
Since my mum came to Bucklesham in August we have all been made to feel welcome. My mother is happy and all the staff are friendly and look after her very well. All my family are reassured when we can't get to see her that she is looked after well.

When our Dad's dementia took a sudden decline, we decided that some respite care would do us all good. The staff at Bucklesham Grange are lovely, extremely helpful in these strange and challenging Covid times. He was made to feel very welcome, and nothing we asked was too much trouble. Dad ended up staying almost 2 months and we wouldn't hesitate to use Bucklesham Grange again. I would like to mention the Customer Relationship Manager, who is brilliant, very understanding and helpful, and was lovely with Dad when he needed a bit of extra support and a chat.
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete a review for us. We were very lucky to have the opportunity to support your Dad and love that we are able to keep in touch now that he has returned home. Thank you for the feedback, it has been passed onto our team.

My father joined Bucklesham Grange just after the worst of times, in the early summer of last year, with a sudden worsening of his dementia. The adjustment for all of us, in the extreme situation of Covid and lockdowns and repeated isolations, was difficult, but he has now settled and is happy and healthy. It has been quite a journey, but the new manager and the team he has built around him have always responded immediately and positively (not defensively) to any concerns I have had. I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, so a pretty demanding relative, and yet the team have been very willing to think about what might be impacting on Dad's behaviour in a very impressive way. We have resolved early difficulties (before the manager's arrival). I am now able to visit Dad in the care home whenever I want, thanks to a new visiting regime that has been bravely rolled out ahead of other care homes. I find all the staff approachable, kind, intelligent and creative. We feel lucky.
Thank you for completing a review for us. Here at Bucklesham Grange, we are so proud of our team and we are delighted to receive your feedback. We love working very closely with families of the residents here to provide the best care possible.

My name is Danielle and I’m the Customer Relationship Manager at Bucklesham Grange.
My role is to support families who are exploring care for their loved ones, guiding them through the process and helping them make the best decision for their family. It’s incredibly rewarding to see new residents join Bucklesham, settle in, and become part of our vibrant community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, being out in nature, and keeping fit.
