Our mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer last summer and chose the safety of a care home rather than returning home. We were understandably nervous, but after researching carefully, Cranford Grange stood out.
It is as beautiful as the brochure suggests - more like a five-star hotel - but what
truly impressed us was the warmth of the staff and the comfort of the residents. Mum's eyes lit up when she saw it.
She was welcomed with kindness from day one. Staff were consistently cheerful and attentive, bringing meals to her room and even preparing food she "fancied" as her appetite declined. She could still watch her beloved tennis and golf, which meant a great deal.
At Christmas the home felt magical, and throughout her stay she was treated with dignity and compassion. Mum passed peacefully last week, and we are deeply grateful for the care and support shown to her and to us.

My mum moved into Cranford Grange for terminal nursing care. She had insisted throughout her diagnosis that she wanted to end her days at home. However, she made the decision to move, immediately feeling at "home" in her new surroundings and very comfortable in every way, from her room, her bed, the
way all staff treated her, she felt loved and so very lucky to be in such a setting. She realised that she would never have been able to have that at home and the burden would have been on her husband and children.
It didn't stop at Mum, as family we were fed in every way with food, kindness, and even hugs!
The teamwork and professionalism we witnessed were second to none, from everyone. My dad was asked what the staff were like and he said you can't call them staff they are friends!
The atmosphere in the building is one of peace and happiness and we cannot thank everyone who cared for mum enough for the amazing end to an amazing life you enabled

There were excellent birthday celebrations for my mother's birthday, With cake photos banners birthday songs. My Mother is receiving excellent care all round. The standard of cleanliness in the home is second to none. The staff are all very kind and caring.

Dawn was amazing at finding a room for my aunt to move into following a long stay in a local hospital the staff are so helpful and polite. The accommodation is of high-quality and has just had a full refurbishment. Thank you to Dawn and the team for all your support.

My Father came to Cranford Grange for respite care after a fall. He was not great when he arrived but due to the amazing staff at Cranford Grange he has recovered well and was ready to return home. All the staff from Nurses, Carers, Admin staff and Housekeepers were exceptional and I would highly
recommend Cranford Grange.
Thanks to you all

We cannot speak highly enough of the care provided at this home. From the very beginning, staff have shown exceptional kindness, professionalism and genuine compassion. Care is delivered with dignity and respect, and it's clear that residents are truly known as individuals rather than just being
part of a routine.
Communication with families has been excellent, giving us reassurance and confidence that our loved one is safe, comfortable and well cared for. The environment is welcoming, clean and calm, and there is a real sense of warmth throughout the home.
The dedication of the staff makes an enormous difference, and we are extremely grateful for the consistently high standard of care. We would wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone seeking outstanding, person-centred care.

Lovely airy decoration in communal areas. More like a hotel than a care home. Staff are long serving and really caring and helpful. Food was great - just have to be wary that you may not want to stop tasting all the different things on offer!

Drove up for the day to visit mum.
Just had a lovely lunch with mum, absolutely full after a three course meal!
Everyone was very happy to accommodate me after a long drive.
The lovely staff were kept busy making sure everyone ate something.

The admissions manager and her team were extremely helpful and did everything they could to ensure my Dad was safe and comfortable during his stay at Cranford.
The admissions manager in particular went out of her way in helping both my Dad and myself.

Top marks in every category for Cranford Grange. It's so difficult when a parent has to go into residential dementia care, but every aspect has been incredibly well done by the magnificent management and staff.
It is a great comfort to see Mum being so well looked after

I had to make the very difficult decision where to place my husband for end of life care .
He was in hospital for 6 weeks after discovering he had a brain tumour and then moved to Cranford Grange . The care and kindness he received at Cranford Grange was beyond expectation. He was treated with
respect by all staff . They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for . They also supported us through the last days of his life . For which we were very grateful.
The home is run professionally and all the residents seem very content .
I would highly recommend Cranford Grange .

Making the decision to move your loved one from their own home to a Care home is one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make but from the first call with the manager at Cranford Grange my mind was put at ease and I was reassured I was dealing with someone who actually cared and was
interested. One of my main concerns was how hard or difficult it would be but again from a quick chat the whole process was explained in full detail and the feeling of a weight being lifted was immediate.
When my Aunt arrived at the home we were both greeted and shown to her room, we were allowed to settle in and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.
A week later my Aunt is really happy, she's a different lady she tells me all about her day, her meals and walks me round showing me the beautiful floral displays, I attended today and she was sat in the coffee lounge having a Latte and looked so happy,
It will always be a tough decision but the manager and her team make that transition so much easier.

My Dad has been a resident of Cranford Grange since May 2023 and the care he receives is outstanding
The staff cannot do enough to help both Dad and myself, my Mum and brother, they are all wonderful and look after Dad so well, it makes a difficult situation far easier to live with

My father's dementia over Christmas became more acute and we realised he was unsafe at home. One member of staff and the fantastic team worked quickly to accommodate him for 4 weeks while the family began planning.
The care he received was excellent and after a week he quickly settled in. The
staff were always friendly, professional and helpful. Dad very quickly became stable again thanks to their care.
As a nurse myself it was lovely to observe how gentle, kind and patient the staff were with the residents even during challenging moments. There was always plenty of staff around.
We were able to bring dad home with family care and support but should the situation change i would have no hesitation in contacting the staff member and Cranford Grange again.
I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. Thank you to all the team.

Mum has been at Cranford Grange for 17 months, having gone initially for some respite. The team at Cranford Grange are truly wonderful, happy, professional, approachable and clearly enjoy working there. Mum is so settled and safe now and it is down to the wonderful care she receives. She joins in
with the activities, social events and enjoys the company of the other residents.

My father made the decision to become a permanent resident at Cranford Grange, having successfully lived independently for some time. This was a huge change for him but it has all gone really smoothly, thanks to the dedicated and caring staff. From the moment we made the decision to the time of
moving in, we felt supported and valued.
He is really enjoying the sociable meal times and the many and varied activities.
Staff from all departments take an interest in his welfare and ensure that he is well looked after.
Even before the refurbishment was completed, Cranford Grange offered superb facilities. Now it is absolutely wonderful. I have found that there are opportunities for the residents to share their opinions and suggest activities that they would like. We feel very welcome when we visit too.
The team at Cranford clearly do care for the residents and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a care home.

Cranford is amazing, wonderful staff giving the best care. Cannot thank them enough for the care they have given to my husband in reminiscence and the help they have given to me. It is a pleasure to visit, and the new decor is beautiful.

Having had a respite stay 7/8 years ago, my mother chose to return to Cranford Grange this year as a permanent resident, as she could no longer manage at home.
It was a huge change but one which has gone incredibly smoothly with heartfelt thanks to very caring staff, some wonderful residents, good
food, and the social facilities.
It's been surprising and delightful to see her being more sociable again, having become isolated in recent years, mainly due to Covid restrictions but also as she became more vulnerable due to ill health.
I would highly recommend it.

Cranford Grange is outstanding.
After looking around the Cheshire area for a suitable care home for my mum Cranford Grange stood out as the best all around by far. Choosing the right place for a loved one is a very difficult and emotional time. The team here gave me complete confidence and
reassurance throughout the process. I would recommend Cranford Grange to anybody looking for a special place for their special loved one.

Cranford Grange is a wonderful care home. I can't praise the staff highly enough - without exception, they are caring, professional, compassionate, and friendly. It is obvious that they genuinely care about their residents and they go out of their way to meet their needs. They make me feel very
welcome whenever I visit which makes such a difference. I know that my Dad is receiving excellent care and that I will be contacted if there are any changes or concerns. The accommodation is of a very high standard and the grounds are beautiful.
