Very pleased with the care provided.
My wife arrived at The Angela Grace in July 2021, suffering with dementia and presenting in a loud/agitated state. The medical staff have been so proactive in trying to reduce my wife's agitation, and all of the care staff handled my wife's challenging behaviour in a professional, and more importantly, caring manner. Everyone to a man has made my wife's stay as comfortable as possible, and my visits, although hard for obvious reasons, are made far more palatable because of the welcome I am given.
My mother is receiving end-of-life care at The Angela Grace care centre, which I am very satisfied with and which gives me peace of mind between my visits. I know she is receiving the best care and she feels happy and safe and I feel supported too. The staff are professional and friendly and relate well to residents. The home is well managed and operates in an efficient, covid-secure way, whilst retaining a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
My wife moved to Angela Grace care centre in late May 2021 from hospital. She had had a major stroke in January and several other conditions have kept back recovery progress. She cannot move herself at all and can only use her left arm, so feeds herself if food is ready chopped. Everything has to be done by staff and she is wonderfully cared for - washing, moving from bed to armchair, using a hoist, adjusting her comfort position in bed, they do it all, always encouraging her. I'm welcomed every day for three hours, I see it all and am very pleased. Thank you.
Mum has only been in here since December. All staff have been very, very good and helpful towards Mum.
I find the Angela Grace care home is a very friendly and caring home. My wife, who is a resident, is well looked after in the environment. It is a clean and welcoming home with professional staff. I feel she is well cared for and communication with me is good. Covid restrictions have been strictly adhered to and in a professional way. Such as assisting with covid tests, providing PPE etc. There are restrictions but they are there for the well being of the residents and are professionally handled. I would recommend this care home.
Very impressed with the staff at all levels. The manager, receptionist, nurses, care assistants, activity coordinators and chefs are all caring and go above and beyond to deliver the best care possible.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are very pleased that you are happy with our home.
My husband is in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease and came to Angela Grace in July 2020. He has always been treated with dignity and respect and the care he has received has been excellent. The result of that is that he has remained calm. As a family, we also have been supported well with easy access to management and staff if we have questions or concerns and excellent communication of information. An amazing team.
My mother was in The Angela Grace for ten weeks after a fall at home, unfortunately, due to funding, we had to move her. While she was there, she was looked after by the staff as if she was their own Mother, we could not have been happier. We couldn’t go inside due to Covid restrictions, but we did have some conservatory visits, she was always happy and kept on saying that the staff look after her very well. I would like to thank all of the staff for keeping us well informed of every aspect of her care and for making her stay with them a safe and happy one and for making our decision to have her cared for an easier one. Would recommend to everyone. Once again, thank you all. I have put satisfactory on the amenities that I cannot comment on having never been inside.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.
My mother spent two weeks in the care home before going back to her home for a few months, she was then admitted to hospital and then in need of a care home, while the authorities were sorting this out. I never expected for her to be allocated a bed in Angela Grace care home, if I could have picked one then this would have been the one. She spent almost a year here and was looked after superbly well, the staff were exceptional even in the face of some of her "outbursts", so good luck and thank you very much; you are wonderful people.
Wow, thank you so so much for your kind and encouraging words. It was an honour to have had the opportunity to look after your mum and we're glad to hear that you were happy with the care she received. It's been so lovely to get to know you during the process. We hope you are well. Take care, from all of us at The Angela Grace.
Mum spent the last 12 months of her life here at the end of a difficult journey with dementia. The staff were all extremely competent friendly and helpful. They really took a shine to mum and did their best for her. They always keep me informed of developments with mum and notified me of any changes. Mum was given opportunities to join in activities and received a lot of attention from the staff.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review The Angela Grace, it really does mean a lot - especially at times like this. It was an honour to have your mum here and for us to look after her. Thank you again for your kind words. Best wishes to you and your family.
My father was a resident at Angela Grace for about a year. He died this month as he was in late stages of dementia. All the staff and management looked after my father with such professionalism and kindness. We could not have been happier and more grateful to have Dad at Angela Grace if he could not be at home. The nurses took care of dad beautifully, looking after him and being mindful of his dignity. As a family, we will be forever grateful.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful. My wife can be quite difficult at times but nothing phases any of them in dealing with her care. Can't thank them enough. The home is always clean and warm. Food is of excellent quality and suited to my wife's requirements and needs.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. We are so pleased to know that you are happy with the care your wife is receiving, and that she enjoys the food!
Really pleasant environment. All staff greet you with a smile and communicate with you. Carers really do care, are usually very, very patient and work very hard to help residents. Agency workers vary. It is a shame that the carers have so much paperwork to do, but I understand it has to be done. The activity team arrange many activities to encourage and engage residents who are able. The home is always very clean and welcoming.
Thank you for reviewing The Angela Grace - we really appreciate it and I will pass on your kind words to the care staff and the activities team. Thanks again!
I couldn’t be more grateful to the staff at The Angela Grace for the wonderful care they took of my mother for the three months she was a resident. The dedicated nurses and carers were extremely attentive and did everything they could to keep her clean, comfortable and happy. My mother enjoyed her time there, thanks entirely to the care provided by The Angela Grace. Truly the prestige of Northampton care homes. I will be forever grateful that my mother was able to die with dignity in surroundings that she loved.
Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. Our care staff work extremely hard to provide the highest standards of care. It was an honor to have cared for your mum - she was a joy to be around and to look after. Every member of staff that was in contact with her has...
I am incredibly grateful to the superb staff at The Angela Grace for their fantastic care of my mum over the last few months. They have given her back her dignity again.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are so pleased to hear that our staff have helped your mum get her dignity back. Thanks again for your review.
I feel that anyone staying in the Angela Grace Care Centre would have excellent care and attention. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are very dedicated to the patients in their care. With regard to cleanliness, this is exceptional.
Thank you so, so much for your lovely words and for taking the time to review the home. It really does mean a lot and I shall pass on your kindness to the care staff...and of course the housekeeping team. Thanks again.
My friend feels safe and happy. She is very well looked after and the staff are really caring.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, it means a lot. I'm so happy to hear that your friend feels safe and happy here. Take care.
What stands out is how engaged and committed all staff members are to delivering high-quality care. All staff introduce themselves and are willing to help at any moment. Very impressive!
Thank you for taking the time to review us. I will be sure to pass on your encouraging words to all our staff. Thanks again!
My mother was transferred to the Angela Grace Care Centre from hospital for end of life care in August. As I live in Devon, my visits are infrequent due to distance. The care/support my mother is receiving is second to none. I cannot praise the centre enough for their dedication and care. My mother is 99 years old and very frail but I and my family can leave without worrying, just knowing she is being well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're honoured to be looking after your mum and I'm glad you have complete peace of mind knowing that she is being well cared for. We hope to see you soon and thanks again.
