The home features private apartments that vary from studios to one-bedroom suites. In addition, and in Reigate's dementia community, there are bespoke specialist dementia suites, designed especially to offer unique support for individuals requiring specialist dementia care.

Reigate Grange has been very helpful from the start in taking my mum in straight from hospital and organising everything that does with it, taking a lot of stress off my shoulders. People are so friendly and helped my mum settle in quickly; she's happy there now. The restaurant and food are excellent,
and the level of care received is fantastic. I can't fault the staff from carers to management. I've found their service to be great and would recommend anyone. Loved to stay.

Reply from Julie Le May, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at Reigate Grange

Thank you so much for your amazing review. It is always nice for the team to hear first-hand how they have made a difference for someone. We are so pleased that your Mum settled so quickly and is happy here. It is our pleasure to have her.

Reigate Grange has looked after mum extremely well throughout her time there. The staff are all very caring and respectful of mum and even through the lockdown period, they have continued to keep a high standard of care.

Reply from Sarah-Jane Carpenter, General Manager at Signature at Reigate Grange

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I would like to thank you on behalf of my team for your kind words. Lockdown brought many challenges but we never for a second let it impact the care we gave, so it is so special for this to be recognised. I look forward to sharing this review with my team.

Reigate Grange has proved to do be outstanding with the care of our 97-year-old mother particularly in the unprecedented time of lockdown. She has been beautifully loved and cared for by exceptional carers, well occupied by the activity staff and nourished by top quality food. All in all, she has 2
wonderful years, very happy and content years at this amazing care home. Thank you to all the staff

It has been so difficult to be able to keep in touch with my friend during lockdown but Signature at Reigate Grange have not let this stop them! Zoom meetings have made me feel that anything is possible. My friend is happy and safe. The staff are just so kind and helpful. The management have been so
brilliant with keeping me informed of how they are.

Very good friends of mine now live there. They are a couple and have different needs. They live in one apartment together. They are elderly and frail. They are very happy there. They tell me that they love the staff and the activities and the other people who live there are now friends.

Reply from Sarah-Jane Carpenter, General Manager at Signature at Reigate Grange

Thank you so much for your review. It is so important for us to be able to have couples continue to live together when they join us. We always want to replicate as near as possible, what life was like in one's own home.
I am so pleased that your friends are happy
Many thanks.

My friends mother is a resident and it's so nice the family are so happy with the care she's receiving. Every time I go to Reigate Grange I'm greeted with a smile and the events they host such as the Christmas fair are so lovely and I have told my kids that's where I want to go when the time comes.

I am an independent social worker who has two clients living at Reigate Grange. I have been involved with the home since it first opened and no matter what, the managers and their staff team delivery consistent, person-centred, high-quality care and support to their residents. The home itself is a
delight to spend time in and provides a lovely homely environment on all floors. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and the communal areas are inviting and fun. But it's not all looks with Reigate Grange, it goes so much deeper. All the staff are totally dedicated to those they are supporting. They all know each resident's likes and dislikes, past history, families etc, that their care is always truly person-centred. If a relative of mine were to need to go into a care home, I would choose Reigate Grange above any other. Highly recommended.

My mother moved into Reigate Grange, Hilltops (Dementia Suite), on the 25th March, after being at our family home for 55 years, and right bang in the middle of this horrific pandemic which meant I couldn't visit her! The staff have been simply brilliant during this difficult time as they have had to
cancel all extra outside help so have had to do a multitude of jobs including arranging pyjama parties and VE day, and they still come into work with a smile on their face saying how much they love their job!
The carers are all like angels - each and every one of them goes over and above each day - they put their life and soul into their job, they are kind, compassionate and extremely intuitive and boy oh boy they know how to give the inmates a fun time! They are all an absolute asset to Reigate Grange and I am very lucky that this is my mother's new home. And when this pandemic is over they all deserve a medal and a big party! The staff are simply the very best! Thank you

Reply from Sarah-Jane Carpenter, General Manager at Signature at Reigate Grange

Oh what a wonderful review! Thank you so much. Covid has brought its own challenges but as you said, we have pulled together and although our doors may be closed, the laughter still rings out!

As the 6 month's mark since moving in is nigh, a review seems timely and apt. We have been most impressed and pleased with the level of care, it's sensitivity, their patience, attention to details and responsiveness and this goes across the board of all those we have cause to interact with - Nurses,
carers, cleaners, maintenance and management (sorry to the chef's and restaurant team, but we have not eaten there ourselves). The only negative remains that old, vexed and perennial issue - meals. We know 'it's difficult to please all of the people all of the time', but Car parking - not even going to go there!

Reply from Sarah-Jane Carpenter, General Manager at Signature at Reigate Grange

Thank you for taking the time to review us, here at Reigate Grange. It's great to learn how impressed you are with the care we provide. I must agree with you that it can be a challenge in pleasing everyone, however here at Reigate Grange we recognise just how important the dining experience is and that's why we hold weekly forums where we gather feedback and suggestions for our menus, so they really do have the Residents seal of approval. Parking can be tricky but with 42 spaces, we get by.

My husband and I moved into Signature Grange 16 months ago. My husband had a stoke sad to say 6 months ago he died so sad. I am lucky to be here. Such kindness from the management and staff and the residents. It truly is "home from home".

My mother came to the Grange in July 2019, since being here she has had the most amazing care. The staff are so helpful and I can't thank the carers enough for all they do. Always so positive, happy and kind. The food is very good and mum's room/bathroom is kept clean and tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Reigate Grange to any friends.

This is how care homes should be. The Grange is superbly run by charming, caring people.
My mum has found the nursing care very beneficial, the food and regular medication has had a very good effect on her health.
It is a large establishment which has a good community atmosphere. Thank you so much.

The level of care and attention to detail at the Grange is absolutely outstanding. Everyone is so caring and friendly and my mother is as happy as she has been for years. Both my father and I have complete peace of mind and mum could not be in a better place.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Signature at Reigate Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.817 for Signature at Reigate Grange is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.817

  • b) 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 Signature at Reigate Grange is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 95 registered maximum number of service users is 19, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Dementia Care Manager

Joined: 2020

I first joined Signature in October 2020 as a Care Supervisor in the dementia care community. I was then promoted to the role of Dementia Care Manager. If there is one thing that I've learned in my years of working with people living with dementia it is: the happiest and most fulfilled people are those who devote themselves to something bigger and more unique. There's nothing more rewarding than helping the most vulnerable people to continue to live their lives with dignity and respect.

I’ve earned a State Award of Merit in Medical and Surgical Nursing and completed post-graduation in Gerontological Nursing and end-of-life care in Ireland. Passionate about elderly care, I’ve worked in India, Malaysia, Ireland and the UK, specialising in Acute Stroke units.

Job Title: Client Liaison Manager

I absolutely love my role as Client Liaison Manager – welcoming families into our beautiful home and helping new residents settle into life at Reigate Grange is incredibly rewarding.


My background has always been rooted in customer service, giving me a wealth of experience to draw from. Prior to joining Signature, I worked closely with families needing support with mobility equipment. When the opportunity arose to move into the care sector, it felt like a natural next step – one that allowed me to follow my passion for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.


No two days are ever the same, and it’s a genuine pleasure to work alongside such a fantastic team of colleagues and residents. I’m proud of the outstanding care we deliver here at Reigate Grange and it’s a privilege to be part of a community where residents truly thrive in a beautifully kept home.

Job Title: Activities Manager

Joined: 2018

I joined as Wellbeing and Lifestyle Manager in June 2018 as part of the commissioning management team at Reigate Grange and completely new to the care industry. I come from a background within the entertainment industry, an industry I was fortunate to work in for over a decade, working both in hotels and aboard cruise ships as a singer and dancer within the Production Team and Manager of the team. My background has given me a wonderful insight into fantastic customer service and organising and delivering the activities and events within the home has been extremely rewarding on a daily basis. Since being with Signature I have also been fortunate enough to have completed my Hospitality Manager certificate, specialising in Conference and Events Management. I honestly thought leaving the entertainment industry that I would never find a job I enjoyed as much, yet my time here at Reigate Grange has been amazing and extremely fulfilling.
