Reviews for Leeming Bar Grange Care Home

My mother has been in Leeming Grange Dementia home for four years so I feel I am quite knowledgeable about the care in this home. I think all the staff are very special and I have always seen the residents well looked after and the staff really care about the residents always helping them talking laughing and cuddling them which is lovely to see. The activities are great always something going on and the residents love the singers coming in. There is also animals taken in and the residents love handling them. The staff are great and have become friends of mine. Considering the very difficult task of looking after 60 people with various stages of dementia I think all the staff do their very best. I would definitely recommend anyone to admit their loved one into Leeming Grange as I have done and I would NOT have my mother anywhere that I thought was not good enough.

My 93-year old mother wishes to live in a care home and so having read the reviews for Leeming Bar Grange we decided to book a visit.
First impressions were that it was very clean, well looked after and welcoming. The staff were so friendly and welcoming we immediately felt at home.
There are many activities for the residents both inside and outside the home. All rooms were nicely presented and really did cater for everyone’s needs. Leeming Grange have their own transport and organise, for example, trips to the seaside for fish and chips as well as visiting local attractions.
There’s something for everyone such as crafting, choirs visiting, church on Sunday and so much more.

Our 88 year old brother has been a resident of Leeming Bar Grange Care Home since august 2024. Albert (Bert) is very settled in the home and although he has dementia he obviously feels safe and secure there. This is a real comfort for us and has taken a lot of worry and stress away regarding Bert. The home is very friendly and the staff are all really caring about their duties, with lots of activities for residents who are willing and able to participate. the food is of a high quality with tea, coffee and snacks available mid mornings and afternoons.

"My mom has been a resident of LBG Care Home for almost three years now. In that time, she has been showered with support, laughter, endless cups of tea, lovely meals, fun activities, enjoyable trips and out, and most importantly, love. It is never an easy decision to place your loved one in a care home, but from the beginning, we knew that she was safe, well looked after by wonderful staff and above all genuinely cared for. I cannot recommend this home highly enough."

"Leeming Bar Grange provides both good care and a welcoming, homely feel. Staff are genuinely caring and look after my mum with compassion and care. Any queries or concerns are taken on board and listened to, which, as a son, is very important. Thank you to Leeming Bar Grange for looking after Mum as well as you do."

"My friend was admitted after 2 months of hospital admissions and 2 care homes, which he's had to leave because of his dementia, though they had been informed of this beforehand. The welcome you gave to him and us was most warm and continued to be so throughout his stay: from the excellent, always so calm receptionists, through all the carers, housekeeping and maintenance staff and cleaners, he was met with dignity, respect, warmth and professionalism. Early on a maintenance man encouraged him so cleverly to walk (he's just stayed in bed or on a chair in other places); near the end one of the housekeeping staff sat with him voluntarily and all the staff showed compassion and professionalism. And behind them all was an excellent, very caring manager and her team delivering everything. But we must talk of my friend's end of life care, which couldn't have been better. We were constantly informed about what was happening and were able to spend many hours with him before he died, and when we were not there we knew his treatment could not be better. Because of you all he had a good, peaceful death, culminating in the beautiful way in which you arranged for his body to leave. Thank you to all of you for everything you've done for our friend during his last days."

"In the 12 months since the new home manager was put in place Leeming Bar Grange has improved in many directions the whole team work very well as a unit. General care is excellent, cleanliness is outstanding. My mum has resided at Leeming for over 10 years which is testament to her care."

"My Mum is so settled in this wonderful environment, the staff are all caring and attentive - some staff go above and beyond! The activities are well planned,varied and frequent, mum particularly likes the animals that visit the home and her trips out in the mini bus. Management always have time to listen to us. Mum is staying here now for the rest of her life, she considers it home and is very happy."

"My father spent a short spell of respite care at Barchester Leeming Bar Grange over Christmas. The whole experience was very positive with a personable and helpful team and excellent leadership from the Manager. The pre-assessment exemplified the approach here, with great understanding shown and a very realistic 'can do' attitude. The home itself is quietly situated and well maintained with effective and diligent housekeeping, underpinned by a real sense of pride. Whilst not actually sampling any food myself, the Christmas dinner looked and smelt delicious! Many thanks to all the team for their hard work, sense of humour and dedication, very much appreciated."

"My mum-in-law was admitted to Leaming Bar after a hospital stay. We didn't have many options as to where he would go due to Covid, however, she was made so welcome, cared for and she was happy from day one. To see her cared for and looked after was a huge relief for the family. The staff have been more than helpful to mum-in-law, but also the family, reassuring us as tall times nothing is a trouble."

"Mum came to Leeming Bar Grange for respite after a fall and made the decision to stay permanently. The staff have all been really helpful to my mum and the family. Mum loves the food and has begun to join in with the many activities and the care provided is excellent. It's very reassuring to have this care for a loved one."

"My mum arrived at Leeming Bar Grange after a short stay in hospital. She was extremely nervous, had no confidence walking, scared of falling. Within a couple of days, she was walking with her frame with one carer and joining in activities. Her smile and her confidence returned. Staff are very patient and understanding when given person-centred care, which helps Mum's anxiousness. Mum has gained weight every week as encouraged to sit in the lounge with fellow residents and enjoy her meals again. Again, staff very understanding."

"My mum has lived at Leeming Bar Grange since 2019. We chose this home mainly for the activities, as my mum needed stimulation most days. When we looked around the home, we immediately knew it was the right place for Mum, it was so clean and friendly. The activity staff are brilliant. Having the minibus has been fabulous as Mum really loves a ride out. We have not been disappointed. All the staff have been excellent with her, making her feel special. The manager has been brilliant, she says every time we talk to her or her staff, that this is Mum's home and that means a great deal to us."

"Been visiting for over two years. I have always found all staff to be pleasant, helpful and welcoming, especially the reception staff who remember names which adds a personal touch. Management was always helpful to resolve any issues no matter how small. Resident I have been visiting has sadly died, but her end of life care package was so dignified and human. A credit to those involved in her care, making a difficult situation easier to cope with."
