Review from Beth W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I can't explain how happy we are that we chose Cherry wood Grange from the day my father in law arrived in 2025 to now (July 2026) the support he has received has been impeccable, he has completely thrived since being in here. He was so frail when he arrived now he is healthy and so so happy here. He is completely at ease here and loves being here. The staff are not actually like staff, but more like friends + family. I honestly can't thank them all enough.

I am happy with the family atmosphere in the care home. My husband is living his best life considering his health. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to give us both support. I visit my husband 5 days a week so I get a good overall view.

Dad was a resident at Cherry Wood Grange for a little over 14 months. Dad had a great time joining in with many activities with enthusiasm. The staff were always encouraging and supportive and latterly when Dad became very ill the care that Dad received was first class.

Overall Experience

I very much wanted my mother to go into Cherrywood Grange as I had heard such positive things and I am delighted to say I have not been disappointed, Mum joined eight months ago and the care has been excellent from day one, with staff understanding Mum's needs and caring for her so well and with dignity. I have been very impressed with the daily activities programme and the Lifestyle team are the best. The management and admin teams are very friendly, caring and supportive and are always happy to make time for you should you have any concerns.

Review from Anne M (Friend of Resident) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Cherry Wood Grange is the friendliest, most caring home I have ever visited. I have visited frequently over the last 9 months and always found the highest level of care and attention given to my friend and from observation, towards other residents also. The atmosphere of the home is welcoming and pleasantly furnished. A real homely buzz! Every staff member that I have had contact with has been very friendly and very caring towards my friend which has helped her to happily settle into living here permanently. No need or request seems too small or too big to be attended to, and the care is approached in an individual and personal way. There are many social activities going on all week, something to suit everybody to enjoy and thoughtful fresh ideas for things to do.

My friend enjoys the Art class, visiting the cafe Bistro, the hair salon, the garden, the prayer club and the knitting club and has made a good friendship with a fellow resident. I most heartily recommend this home .

Review from C G (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Dad moved to Cherry Wood Grange from another care home at the beginning of May. My Dad had more meaningful, stimulation in the first 48 hours of being at this care home than he had experienced in 5 months at the previous home.
The staff at Cherry Wood Grange are kind, warm and genuinely care about their residents and resident's family. Everyone was keen to meet my Dad and actively asked questions about his likes, dislikes and the things that may upset him. Cherry Wood Grange has created a family feel that resident's family are also included in.
The communication has been excellent! I live a long way from this care home and my only weekly communication with my Dad is via video call. Day and night staff have helped me to have video calls with my Dad that fit around my working day and I don't feel like I'm being a nuisance when I call, which is lovely.
Cherry Wood Grange work really, hard to give their residence a life full of rich experiences and activities.
I feel hopeful for my Dad's future and don't worry continuously about him.

Thank you

Overall Experience

The staff are all friendly, helpful and kind. I cannot speak too highly about the way my father has been cared for. There is nothing that is too much trouble and during what is a difficult period the care staff have always had time to keep the family informed. I have already recommended the home to a friend who's mum now lives here.

Review from Victoria F (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum has been at Cherry Wood Grange Care Home for nearly 6 months now and in that time she has become so much more involved and happy to have help. The staff at Cherry Wood are amazing - they find out what the residents like to do and then help make their wishes come true. Their care and sensitivity to the residents needs are excellent and the quality of provision in all areas is very high.

Cherry Wood Grange is always very clean and the range of food options is extensive. The important thing for me is that mum is well cared for with awareness of her needs and feelings.

Overall Experience

The care that Cherry Wood Grange Care Home and all the team have provided for my mum has been outstanding and life changing. I will forever be grateful and sing this care home's praises. My mum was giving up in her previous home and she has come here and been given a second chance at life. Her smile has returned and that's all thanks to this home and the wonderful staff. Thank you.

Review from S H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am writing this review on behalf of myself and my sisters. Our mum has resided at Cherry Wood Grange Care Home for 5 and a half years, initially on Dementia Floor and more recently on Nursing. Very sadly, she has now died but I really have to compliment the nurses, carers and whole team at Cherry Wood for the exemplary care our mum received. The whole family at Cherry Wood work very hard to provide a loving and caring environment and cared for mum as if she were their own. The team and particularly the highly skilled nurses supported us through the difficult days before mum died, with expertise, care, kindness, practical help and lovely hugs when we needed them. Throughout her years at Cherry Wood, we have felt listened to and supported as mum's condition progressed. Cherry Wood is a great credit to your company.

The warm and friendly atmosphere, the staff were amazing and treated our mum with love respect and dignity with her care. They always had time to talk to us, offer their support to us and the family and listen to our wishes. The staff showed love, affection and dedication supporting us when mum passed away. They really care for the residents and show that they care. Thank you everyone.

We are so pleased Mum was cared for at Cherry Wood Grange. The management and staff are second to none. Not only did they look after Mum in a caring and dignified way, they also always looked after us, her family too. From the moment you come into reception until you leave, it is just amazing. Every little detail is thought about. Thank you.
