My husband entered Parsons Grange on the 12th of August. My family are very pleased with his new home, also myself. They have made my husband and myself very welcome. Everybody greets you with a smile, or asks if they can help you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been living in this home for a short time. Moved from another home into Parsons Grange. The staff are the first and most wonderful thing about Parsons Grange. Very caring and actually spend time with the residents. The home has a lovely warm atmosphere, the decor is homely and the rooms
bright and spacious. The addition of family and cinema rooms is wonderful, the gardens offer a generous outside space which is quiet and peaceful, with a shared beautiful pergola. My father is well cared for, clean and happy. The staff are professional and the management present and approachable. Even the maintenance team and reception know who you are and who your relatives are. A wonderful home from home.

Our family has been part of Parsons Grange for the last three years. My father received palliative care here. He was cared for with dignity right up until the end. My mother is now a resident receiving care for dementia. Lovely, friendly, caring staff. Always a warm welcome.

I visited my friend and we had a lovely afternoon listening to a ukulele band outside in the garden. The staff were outside also encouraging all the residents to join in, which they did. A very caring, inclusive residence where all are encouraged to take part in any way possible.

Boat trip which was a resident which from my mum was one of 5 residents on the trip. There were some issues getting 4 wheelchair users and their wheelchairs on the minibus, but everything else went smoothly, including getting on and off the boat. The staff were friendly and attentive as were the boat
crew. All the residents including my mum enjoyed themselves. Trip organised by two staff members in particular with another staff member as attending care.

As a family, we are extremely satisfied with the care our sister has been consistently receiving over several years. Although the condition she suffers is progressive we are of the opinion that the excellent care she receives at Parsons Grange has stabilised her illness. We fully recommend Parsons Grange
to any family considering a similar family challenge.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Parsons Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 78 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 78 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.887 for Parsons Grange is calculated as follows: ( (830 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 922 Ratings = 4.887
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Parsons Grange is based on 78 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 78 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.

Rozina Ali

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

I have over twenty years of experience working in older people’s care. My passion is caring for and supporting older people to be as independent as possible. I believe in involving residents in all decision-making so they can live each day in the way they wish.


My father was diagnosed with dementia, so I understand how hard-hit families can be after this diagnosis. We’re here to support loved ones to realise that it’s not the end and that it’s possible to live well with dementia. That’s exactly what we support residents to do. We ensure families are involved in care planning, and loved ones are welcome to be involved in their relative’s day-to-day care if they wish to be. We work in partnership with families, and everything we do is personalised to individual needs and wishes. 


I’m so proud of the Parsons Grange team. They’re very responsive and supportive – both to me, each other, the residents and their families. Together we’re determined that Parsons Grange continues to be the best care home in Reading.
