I needed to find some care for my mother after she was discharged from hospital following a fall but I felt that she wasn't well enough or would not be safe enough to go straight back to her bungalow as she lived alone and is fiercely independent. The Grange were contacted to see if they could help me and my mother and I can honestly say that from the moment she arrived the staff and the love and care provided to not only my mother but to myself and my family has been fantastic. She has now built up her strength, is managing to walk again, is eating more than she ever did, and has made many friends. In fact she loves it so much she has decided she wants to stay there! Can't thank the wonderful staff enough for their professionalism but most of all for the loving care they give to all the residents.
Thank you for this review, we are so happy that your mam and yourselves are happy with the support we offer and delighted to here your mam wishes to stay with us long term.

My partner has been living here for nearly 18 months and I am very happy with the care he receives. The staff are sensitive to his needs and preferences and he clearly is very happy to be there. This period had needed a lot of sensitive and potentially distressing conversations and I have felt acknowledged and supported throughout. I have marked activities as excellent despite his refusal to engage as the staff offer an extensive range of things to do and it's not their fault he doesn't want to get involved
It is good to hear that you are happy with the care at The Grange, many thanks for your response.
Beautiful, clean home. Caring staff. Always willing to help, have a buzzer to press if I need assistance. The home is like a hotel.

What a lovely card to have submitted. It is a pleasure to have you stay with us. Thank you for your kind words.
Very good care home with plenty of activities to take part in. Food and rooms are excellent and care staff are very good in looking after residents.

Very pleasant care home, staff very friendly and attentive. Care home is bright and fresh. Staff keen and motivated to help. Only negative point is that some furniture is damaged and does not match - not something I would personally have in my room, however this is a personal opinion!

Thank you for leaving your feedback. Should there be anything that needs fixing due to damages please make this known to the staff team so a replacement can be arranged. Thank you.

A care plan was put in place which covers all of his individual needs and the home is well managed and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for care for a relative.
We love having him here and looking after him. We can't wait to see him again soon.

The staff looked after me and I couldn't thank them enough. The staff were always on point with their duties and they interacted with the patients really well.
Lovely feedback - we hope you visit again soon.
We were looking for a Care Home for my dad after his spell in hospital. After visiting a number of local care homes and having some reservations we knew immediately upon having a tour and speaking with staff members that the Grange would be the place for him. The staff are excellent and understand...
My dad was made very welcomed and the team got him settled in very quickly. Nothing was a problem for them and my dad was treated with exceptional care, respect, and love. It was a relief for the family knowing that he was in such a safe and caring environment.
Unfortunately, after only three weeks my dad's health condition suddenly deteriorated and he passed away with me by his side. The genuine care and compassion of all the staff for us at this time was excellent and they ensured dad was comfortable, in no pain and was allowed to pass away with dignity. Thank you to the Manager and the full team.
Take care
Dad's room is a decent size and has his home comforts.

I have been going to The Grange for over 7 months now as a volunteer. My passion is knitting and I have enjoyed both teaching non-knitters and rekindling the skills for those who haven't knit for some time. Sometimes we do more chatting than knitting but that is also nice. The home is a friendly and happy place and is spotlessly clean. All of the staff that I have met have been very caring, helpful and professional at all times. I look forward to my weekly visits and long may they continue. If I were to need residential care then The Grange would be my first choice. Well done to all the staff.

I've been going to the care home for over six months to visit my brother. I've found all staff to be very helpful and professional. My brother has made some improvements to his health whilst being at The Grange. Overall, I am very happy with the level of care provided by The Grange.

When he is away from home, he sometimes can not wait to get back to the safe and secure environment of his new home. That speaks volumes for the care and compassion of The Grange. Thanks for helping over the difficult past few months.
Many thanks for taking the time to write this review, it is most appreciated.

My sister has been a resident of The Grange since October 2022. On my first visit to view the home, I was very much impressed with the information provided by the staff, I was given a guided tour of the home and all questions were answered. From the manager, carers, admin and all the other staff at the home, myself, family and my sister are treated with respect. My sister is cared for with compassion and kindness and is settled and happy in her new home.

My wife went into this Care Home initially for a respite break; however, she will now be staying there on a permanent basis. The premises are spotlessly clean, welcoming and more like a decent hotel than anything else. The staff are brilliant, happy and caring. The food menus are extensive and give a good choice of food for the residents. It has wide corridors and open lounges on both floors and the dining rooms look like something out of a bistro pub - very nice. Decor is pleasant and cheerful. All in all, a good choice for looking after my wife and visitors are welcome at any time.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the review.

My mam had a flood at home and needed temporary accommodation while a new bathroom was fitted. We chose The Grange as it was close by and had been recommended. Mam is 91 years young and stayed for four nights and was well looked after while there. The staff were really pleasant and helpful and kept a good check on her. The food was good and Mam put on a little weight while in there which is all good. Very clean and bright and Mam enjoyed the company of really friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend this lovely care home.
Many thanks for taking the time to complete the survey and for the such lovely feedback, it is great to get positive feedback for our home and staff.
All the staff are really very good, kind and very helpful.

Mum stayed at The Grange while my partner and I had a short holiday. The room was lovely and very clean. The whole care home was extremely clean and bright with really nice furnishings throughout. Caring staff. Very good care - before she stayed there, we had a home visit by the manager to find out all about Mum. Mum would be happy to have respite again at The Grange.
Thank you for your lovely review of our home. We look forward to your mam visiting again and helping you plan short stays to enable you to have some downtime.
