My mum always receives the utmost care and has done for the 12 months she has lived at Melwood Grange. She is happy and well looked after and her needs are always met. She recently had a need to see the visiting GP, over and above regular appointments, and we were kept informed from the staff. Mum
often talks about her interactions with her carers, but also management and other day to day staff, all in a positive light. We couldn't be more happier with Melwood Grange and how they support mum.

Very impressed with the care at Melwood Grange. Carers are amazing! The whole place is spotlessly clean and well-maintained. A calm and peaceful atmosphere, it's a pleasant place to be in. Any issues are dealt with immediately and successfully resolved. The activities for the residents are
interesting and stimulating, and those able are encouraged to take part. The food is excellent, with a varied menu. Visitors are made very welcome. A happy place to be!

Melwood Grange is the stand out care home in the area. My mother is very happy here which gives me peace of mind. A care home is only as good as its management and staff. I cannot find fault with either at Melwood.

Melwood Grange is a fantastic care home. My nan has been there since it opened in November, and the care she receives is truly exceptional. I've had the pleasure of joining her for a few activities, which were both enjoyable and well-organised. We're so happy with how well she has settled in, and we
would highly recommend Melwood Grange to anyone looking for quality care.

When you choose a residential nursing home for a loved one, it can be a stressful and challenging experience. I was fortunate enough to be recommended Melwood Grange, and I never regretted the decision for them to look after my mother. The accommodation and facilities are excellent.
Even though,
at times, my mother's behaviour could become difficult, at no point did any of the staff or care team complain. They provided her with dignified and professional support.
I would like to thank the senior team and care staff for their unwavering standard of care.

My mother-in-law has spent two weeks respite care at Melwood Grange and I found the staff extremely helpful and caring to both myself and my mother-in-law.
The facilities are brilliant, very modern and clean. There are activities for residents to take part in should they like to or quieter spaces
if preferred. I would highly recommend.

My father became a resident at Melwood February 2025. From being shown around to Dad entering the home was straight forward and friendly.
The home is lovely in decor. The rooms are comfortable and welcoming.
Dad has settled well. This was a surprise as a previous two week respite in another
home, 6 months earlier, in another town (not the same company), didn't go very well.
Dad has Alzheimer's and Melwood show great experience caring for residents with all needs, especially as everyone's dementia journey is different.
The staff are caring and extremely knowledgeable. They are always on hand to ask questions. They also keep you updated.
So far, we are extremely happy with Dad's care and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

I cannot say enough good things about Melwood Grange: the staff, the food, the large room, the cafe, absolutely everything. My mum has only been here for 9 days, but she was asked how she likes it and she said, "I love it!", and then she listed all the things she won't have to do anymore., like
cooking and cleaning. She has enjoyed planting bulbs in the 1st floor garden, and is looking forward to watching her favourite films in the theatre. I am beyond happy that my mum has settled in so well. Thank you to all of the staff for being incredible.

In January 2025 my mother-in-law passed away peacefully at Melwood Grange Care Home in Royston.
In the last few days of her life, I witnessed first-hand the marvellous care and affection the staff gave her.
She was always a character, vocal about her needs and not always patient!
Although she
could be challenging at times, the staff managed her so brilliantly and with such calmness.
The manager, carers, kitchen and housekeeping staff all went the extra mile for her.
She happily recounted all the special things they did for her and that made her feel special, cared for and most important of all, heard.
Above all else, it was the interaction and genuine care she received, that made all the staff her 'family' for the past 5 1/2 years.
My family and I cannot thank the staff enough for allowing us to pass our precious family member into their loving care.
We will always champion the work of your care workers, they are all exceptional.

I spent 2 weeks at Melwood, to provide some respite for my wife, who has been looking for after me following a cancer diagnosis. I believe I was the first tenant of room no. 1. I was extremely impressed by the building and nice staff - with very slight problems being due to bedding - in kitchen
(breakfast an hour late every day). Things were already improving when I left. I certainly hope they have a vacancy cover I need full-time care.

I came to Melwood Grange in January 2025, it was a shock to be honest but I had become unwell and was making my condition worse by medicine errors! I find the staff to be so caring and thoughtful. They made me realise we need help sometimes, it is no shame! They do anything and everything with a
smile and a good heart. I thought I would be lonely but the staff take the time to chat + befriend is. The home is filling up very fast. The meals are really good and lots of it! Lost 3 stone before I came here, down to 7 stone, but putting weight on well. Staff keep popping in to say hello which is lovely! Thank you

My mother was always against going to a care home. She had five weeks in hospital before transferring to Melwood Grange. On my visits, she has told me that she should have done it sooner as the care and social interaction has been very good fr her. She loves all the staff as they are so kind and
considerate and loves to join in with the activities and entertainment. She looks ten years younger since being in your care and we are able to holiday knowing she is happy and being well looked after.

My mother has been in your care for a few years now, firstly Richard Cox, then Melwood Grange.
The care has always been so good. My mother is not the easiest of people to care for. But all of the staff are so very good with her.
