It is early days for me and I am looking for my father, Sarah showed me round and was really helpful, gave me so much information, I now need to go back to discuss things with my father, but it will be a strong recommendation to consider Lea Grange for his next move.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anybody in need of care.

Weak areas, in my opinion, are lack of organising some visits for residents who have full control of moving with very little help and would enjoy being taken out occasionally, especially in good weather conditions.

My mum became a resident at Lea Grange Harpenden, having been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. I can't thank Sarah and Theresa enough for going above and beyond to make mum's residency possible. The welcome that she received and the way staff made her feel comfortable on arrival was amazing. The nursing team are so lovely and my mum repeatedly says that they treat her with such dignity; they're gentle and make her feel safe. The chefs and catering team provide lovely food and are always so polite when coming to see what mum wants. They'll always rustle up something else for her if necessary. The room is always cleaned so well as is the rest of Lea Grange. Again, the cleaning staff are so polite. I can't recommend Lea Grange enough. In such a sad moment, mum could not be in better hands.
Thank you for your heartfelt review of Lea Grange. It is wonderful that our team have helped your Mum with feeling comfortable and respected in our home and that you are happy too - we will pass this on to our team. It is an honour to care for your Mum, if you need anything else from our team please do not hesitate to contact us.
Coming into Lea Grange is like coming into an extension of our home as it is so friendly and welcoming. All the staff are polite and helpful whilst maintaining professionalism.

We have never had a bad experience of Lea Grange Care Home. My parents are very well cared for and the staff are lovely. Nothing is left to wish for regarding their care and well being.

My father came to Lea Grange in September 2024 when it had newly opened. We were amazed how beautiful the care home was like a hotel! Being the first resident my family have got to know the staff very well and we visit regularly. The environment is so friendly and welcoming. Most importantly has been the standard of care. The staff are the heart of the home. They combine professionalism with great kindness. A year ago we moved my mother here from her previous home and she has blossomed greatly. She was initially hesitant but actively enjoys the daily routine and staff communications with families is excellent. The care quality and environment is better than we could have hoped for. My parents feel a true sense of belonging.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us your heartwarming feedback. It is a pleasure to have your lovely parents with us, and I am thrilled to hear they feel settled and cared for.
My father has received excellent care during his months stay. The staff have been very attentive and my father has been happy at the home!

Following a stressful few weeks in which my husband's health and mobility declined, I took the decision to ring Lea Grange Care Home. From the first time I spoke to the client services manager and residential dementia care manager I felt completely reassured that the facilities and help that are available at the home would be of huge benefit to my husband. Whilst he has only recently moved in, the care and kindness he has received has been excellent. He is settling in well and joining in the many activities that are on offer. Thank you to everyone who has made this very difficult time so much less stressful for both of us.
I am glad to hear we were able to provide the support and reassurance you needed during such a difficult time.
I stayed for four weeks after breaking my wrist. Lea Grange is very friendly and everyone is helpful. The facilities are excellent and the food is good. The carers are very kind and competent.

The care on the Dementia floor has been really positive and responsive. The Dementia Manager and her team are brilliant and clearly know the residents well. Even before mum moved in, the Customer Services Manager made us feel welcome and supported, which took away so much of the stress around the move.
Mum now joins in with activities, has made friends, and often tells me how much she likes the staff. It also really stands out that wherever we are in the home, staff know mum by name - that personal touch means a lot.
The home is always spotlessly clean and has a relaxed, caring feel. There's clearly a lot of thought and professionalism behind everything they do. As a family, we feel very grateful and reassured knowing mum is safe, happy and well cared for
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us such heart-warming feedback. It fills me with pride to hear you speak so highly of our team and home. It is a joy to have your lovely mum with us here at Lea Grange.

I just want to say how amazing all the carers have been since my Grandmother Ruby has come to stay. The family have felt so comfortable knowing she is in good caring hands. Our Grandmother/mother is so precious to us all so it means a lot to us the great care she is getting. I would like to say Ivy-Rose has been amazing and honestly treats our Ruby as her own family such a kind hearted person and also a massive thanks to Rebecca who I've seen taking good care of our loved one in great respect. Also Jorge and Mary who are always also so kind too. Thank you to Lea Grange for making this hard time in our lives a little easier we appreciate it so much x
Thank you for your five-star feedback. It is a joy to have your grandmother with us, and we cherish her greatly. I will be sure to pass your feedback on to the named individuals, who I have no doubt will appreciate your kind words greatly.

Thank you.

From start to finish, with the management and all the staff at Lea Grange (including receptionists, carers, nurses, cooks, cleaners), our experience of Lea Grange was excellent.
Everyone played their part extremely well - we were very impressed with how kind, professional, personable, thorough and willing to help everyone was - making Mother's residency and our visits as comfortable as they could possibly be in the circumstances.
Mother's own priorities were warmth and comfort, and she was always kept super-warm and super-comfortable.
In our period of grieving, it continues to be a huge comfort to us to know that Mother could not have been anywhere better than Lea Grange.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us your feedback during such a difficult time. It was an honour to care for your mother, and we miss her dearly. Please know you are always welcome at Lea Grange.

Lea Grange Care Home is wonderful. From the moment you walk through the door, it feels like a hug - warm, welcoming, and full of kindness. My mum has settled in so well; she originally went in for respite care but has been so happy there that she's decided to stay permanently. The staff are genuinely caring and nothing is ever too much trouble. The home is spotless, the food is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is full of love and comfort. They don't just care for the residents; they care for the families too. I can't recommend Lea Grange highly enough.
Thank you for providing such a shining review of our home and team. It is important to us that we provide support not only our residents but their loved ones too, so it is great to hear you feel cared for by our team.
On every visit, each member makes every effort to be cheerful, friendly and accommodating. The food appears to be of a very high standard. The entertainment, activities and facilities have been many and varied but are currently reduced due to staff shortages. I imagine this will be rectified in the...
I would happily recommend the Lea Grange.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoy visiting Lea Grange. We appreciate your understanding. Your feedback is invaluable to us.
