Reviews
The Grange is a very friendly and caring home where my sister is very happy. She receives good interaction with the staff and they are very patient and helpful. The food is very good, and they pay attention to her dietary needs as well as her well-being.
John V(Brother of Resident) 
Her room is large and well-lit. She has a beautiful tree outside her window, which forms part of well-kept, colourful gardens. The staff are wonderful and always have time to sit and talk to her. I enjoy visiting Mum in her home as it feels like walking into a family home. The Grange staff do a wonderful job!
Heather W(Daughter of Resident)
As soon as you walk in you're greeted with a friendly, positive, homely atmosphere. It's clean, well-maintained and has a lovely garden. I visit regularly and whenever I do there are always carers interacting with residents which is lovely to see.
A W(Son of Resident)
The Grange is an excellent care home, which I find is very clean and very well run. They really look after my husband. He is very happy and well cared for by all the wonderful staff and management who do an amazing job. They are friendly, helpful, kind and very professional.
J S(Wife of Resident)
From the first day and every day of her stay, every single member of staff displayed the utmost kindness and consideration towards her. We were able to visit at any time and there were lots of activities going on, outside visits and shows at the home.
