Reviews for Middletown Grange Care Home

"They look after my father and I don't have any complaints on his care. Since he has been moved from Banbury to Witney it's much easier for us to visit him. I am in there every other day and all the staff are very helpful in all they do."

"We travelled down to see how Grandad was settling in and could see how happy he was in his new home. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. We had a delicious meal in the quiet lounge served by the chef, who couldn't have been more obliging. Looking forward to travelling back down for our next visit next month for Grandad's birthday."

"My mother is very well looked after, the staff are always very helpful caring and certainly treat my mother with great respect. I don't live locally, but know that someone will always contact me if my mum isn't feeling great which means I feel comforted knowing she is so well cared for. I can't believe the work that goes into providing activities of all sorts for the residents, it's truly amazing the things they do. Thank you, Middletown Grange."

"My dad recently moved into Middletown Grange and has settled really well. The staff are kind and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The meals are delicious and we can eat with him if we want. It is so good to know that my dad is safe and well cared for."

"A close, elderly friend of mine was admitted to Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home as a weekend emergency. The compassion to this difficult situation was absolutely incredible, the experience was so supportive and non-judgmental, it made the whole process extremely pleasant. Because of this, the husband decided to follow three days later as a private respite client. The welcoming experience, the care given, the food, cleanliness and friendliness of all of the staff were an absolute pleasure to be a part of. I would not hesitate to recommend Middletown Grange for either short or long-term care. The compassion, dignity and respect for everyone, whether that be clients, their family, the staff and visitors, is an overwhelming, pleasurable experience."

"Well, what can I say? This wonderful care home is absolutely amazing. Since our mum arrived at Middletown Grange (moved from a different care home) she looks 10 years younger. All the staff are so good, reassuring, approachable, happy, and helpful. I always look forward to visiting without any anxiety, which we experienced at the previous home. The rapport we have with the care home manager is second to none. Thank you to you all!"

"This care home is lovely! They always let my dog in (which everyone loves) and today provided pink cupcakes with sprinkles. Christmas music was also playing to spread the joy. The staff are charismatic and caring and, in my personal opinion, should have a pay rise! They also love my grandad which is nice to see."

"Mum, 86 with Parkinson's and dementia, lived at Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home for two years until her recent death, October 2023, hip break and infection - long wait at NHS hospital. The new manager, with abundant empathy, always made the time for me to chat, share concerns and quickly resolved them, when necessary. Mum was awaiting NHS physio and was still poorly. I made a monthly 200-mile round trip, was met with on-tap coffee, homemade cake and invited to dine with Mum and other residents in the dining room. During the last two and a half weeks of her life, I stayed 6 hours a day, this was the most difficult stage of Mum's care. Staff went over and above for Mum, especially those last days, they had endless patience, 07.00 start, kitchen insisted on porridge/tea and lunch welcome (8-hour NHS wait, four days before Mum died) even mending an ornament Mum broke, she was in hospital. Lastly, a change to medication, the manager's intervention enabled Mum, in a wheelchair, granddaughter and son (5) and me to enjoy balloon catch in the garden - a great memory."

"I found the staff and facilities were excellent, they welcomed me with cupcakes and tea and made me feel like part of the home. My mum is very comfortable and could not wish for anything else, she is 91 with dementia and relies on the staff for everything. I always feel assured that she is in the best hands when I leave."

"My husband recently passed away and I am glad he was at Middletown Grange. He was always treated with dignity and kindness as was I when I visited. My husband had a sweet tooth and especially enjoyed the puddings and cake in the afternoon. The people who work there are special, they work hard and are always polite and friendly. My grateful thanks to them all."

"Have been coming here for the past year with my brother-in-law for respite care, now on our 4th stay. The reason we come back is every occasion we have been, everyone has been so friendly and helpful. From the initial assessment until the end of the short stays. It is difficult to find good respite but here they guaranteed a room and all the facilities needed for my brother-in-law's care needs. His needs have changed each visit, each time, the care they provided changed to fit. Communication is excellent between staff and management. Each time I have spoken directly to the manager, they have provided everything that was asked for. I have no hesitation in giving this rating as the care, surroundings, facilities etc are exactly what we have asked for."

"My aunt has lived a happy, comfortable and settled life at Middletown Grange Care Home during her 9 years as a resident. The staff have consistently shown warmth, affection and respect towards her and I have always been reassured that she was well cared for to a high standard by committed and hardworking staff. She was bedbound but never lonely as staff had imaginative ideas to keep her occupied e.g. an animatronic pet cat and visits from real animals. She passed away on 03/01/23. My sincere thanks to the amazing staff at Middletown Grange."

"From our very first visit to this care home, we knew it was the right place for our mother to be. There is a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed, calm yet attentive feel, it is spacious with good outdoor gardens, that aren't just for show. The one enduring point about this home, is, without a doubt, the outstanding team of people that work here, from the reception team to the manager. The care is always exceptional. It is rare to experience a level of commitment and professionalism throughout every team member, every time we visit or speak on the phone. I have no doubt my mother is in the best place and being looked after by the best people."

"My father was transferred to Middletown Grange Care Home. As a family, we were very relieved that he was safe and cared for. Obviously he was very confused in the beginning but after four weeks in their care he has settled in well. Dad enjoys the meals very much. He seems happy and content which gives us a family peace of mind. Staff, management and admin are all very friendly and caring."

"I am really pleased with the standard of care my parents receive at Middletown Grange. It was recently my mum's birthday and they had made a cake, staff came and sang happy birthday before sharing it with other residents. What is noticeable is the consistent nursing care which enables medications to be adjusted and problems de-escalated whereas if they were still at home they would be having difficulty communicating with the GP surgery and calling out medics on a frequent basis. It is a relief that they are not dependent on stretched NHS resources, and have 24-hour care."

"Great experience overall with the home where my mother has been resident since October 2022. Friendly, supportive, and great care and Mum has settled very well. I would very much recommend Middletown Grange. I would like to understand more about how Mum can get engaged in activities. Ensure that she has regular baths and review her personal care. Small things could make a difference ie, need for support from facilities for over 2 months to get simple things like hooks for pictures on her bedroom wall."

"I am very happy that my mum is receiving excellent care at Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home and that the hard-working staff ensure she is being included and encouraged to take part in activities. It made me very happy to see Mum enjoying afternoon tea, ice cream and music in the garden recently. As a family who lives some distance away, seeing Mum enjoying herself on the social media page is very reassuring. Every time I visit Middleton Grange, I usually see the same carers which is reassuring for Mum and I. Although busy looking after the residents, they make time to tell me how Mum is doing. If I have a query, the staff are responsive."

"My mother has been a resident of Middletown Grange for over a year now and her move there has been an unqualified success. We searched thoroughly before deciding on this residential home and chose it because of the obvious care attention and kindness that was offered together with nice facilities. Staff have never been anything but attentive and kind to my mother. She enjoys the food very much and in the earlier days of her stay enjoyed participating in the amazing range of activities that were on offer. Sadly she is only able to watch now but nevertheless, it provides interest and stimulation. The nursing ethos is strong and the nursing team seem well coordinated and on top of things. They have a close relationship with a local GP practice who are called in good time if there is a need. During lockdown, the pod facility in the garden was a great blessing. Thank you Middletown Grange for your care, kindness and professionalism."

"The first time I visited Middletown Grange looking for a place for Mum, who needed nursing care - after visiting many others, I was so impressed straight away with the facilities, the gardens and knowledge, kindness and respect the staff showed to each resident. I knew she would be able to still have a life and not just live there. Five years on, I cannot thank everyone enough for the support, time and attention she was given. I would not hesitate to recommend Middletown Grange."

"My mother was resident in this home for four years until her death earlier this month. The whole environment was geared up to give care to the residents. When she first arrived she was greeted by all staff, from the receptionist to carers to cook in such a friendly way, she immediately felt 'at home'. We could not have asked for more for her last years. We are just very grateful that we chose Middletown, and we would thank all staff for their care and attention and their professionalism at all times, day and night."

"My mum needed more help than we could provide at home following a major operation and spent almost 3 weeks at Middletown Grange to convalesce. The whole experience was brilliant, from the very first phone call/email contact, and all through her stay. Despite not being able to visit much due to lockdown restrictions, it was such a relief to know that she was getting the absolute best care and support possible, along with all the comforts of home. I can't praise the team enough, they were all friendly, helpful, kind and caring and took the time and trouble to get to know my mum - nothing was too much trouble and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you all."

"It was a very hard decision for me to extend my husband's respite care to full-time residential care. However, this has been made easier for me by the way he is looked after in Middleton Grange. From the manager downwards he is treated with care, kindness and compassion. He has settled in well and is quite content and I know he is safe.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and supporters of Middletown Grange Care Home, for their endless and untiring assistance to their residents. Especially the management who have aided and assisted my mother and therefore family and friends through some extremely difficult times. My mother recently lost her long term partner and friend who was also fortunate to have been cared for by the wonderful staff at Middletown. The staff supported my mother at an extremely difficult time, when her family could not - due to the virus. It is difficult to express how comforting this was for us all. My family and l will be forever grateful for your humanity and professional efforts at this time."

"Middletown Grange accepted my mother for respite after she broke her ankle at the start of Coronavirus lockdown. The care that she has received, in very difficult circumstances, has been excellent. They have been very efficient in organising her visits to hospital for check-up and an additional operation, and have looked after Mum very well in the post-operation phase. Although I have not been able to visit, it seems a loving and caring environment where Mum has been very happy."

The home is clean, bright and feels so homely, the staff are polite and cheerful always ready with a smile and friendly greeting, even when they are really busy. Mum is always clean, tidy and happy being at the home; she feels safe. During these difficult time's with the Corona Virus, the home gets my mother to video call us, which is great, we miss seeing her, this is the next best thing. We know my mother is kept safe and well, and she feels safe, and that is priceless for us."

"We would like to thank everyone at Middletown Grange for the wonderful care they are providing our relatives at this challenging time. The manager ensures that we are kept up to date with regular emails regarding the position of the home and the well being of our family members. Skype, Facetime, Whatsapp calls and videos have been introduced for families to be able to see their loved ones and they have also introduced virtual entertainers for the residents. During April they celebrated the Easter weekend and then shortly after this there was a tea party in the beautiful garden to celebrate the Queens birthday. The home also celebrated VE day with residents again having a celebration tea party in the garden reminiscing about what happened on VE day. All the staff really have worked incredibly hard to keep this virus at bay and we cannot thank you enough. Please stay safe everyone at Middletown, we miss you all very much and look forward to seeing you again soon."

"We have the highest praise for all the team at Middletown Grange. Since our mum went to live there a few months ago everyone has shown endless patience and care to ensure she has settled in and feels at home. Our mum has dementia so we were very worried as to how she would accept her new environment but because of the efforts and kindness of all the staff there we know she is in the right place, safe and extremely well cared for. Each resident is treated as an individual with their own specific likes/dislikes taken into account. The staff really take the time to get to know the residents. In these challenging times, the staff have kept us completely up to date and have sat with mum holding her hand and with an arm round her shoulder, made it possible for us to remain in contact via video call. We cannot praise all of the staff enough and feel very grateful indeed that our mum is in such a friendly and happy environment. Thank you everyone."

The staff are very friendly, caring, patient, they also spend time and conversation with Mum. The food and drinks are plentiful and delicious. Daily activities are well organised, stimulating and importantly lots of fun too. The manager has a ‘my door is always open’ policy which is so reassuring when we live some distance from the home.

"I was made welcome from the start. My room was on the corner of the building and had windows on two sides, which enabled me to see the garden and also out onto the road. I elected to take my meals in the small dining room, which meant that I got to know the other users and the staff quite quickly and I found it surprising that a number of the residents chose to have all meals in their room. The entertainments and outings were varied and enjoyable and the large lounge was the most pleasant place to sit."

"My 91-year-old aunt has resided at Middletown Grange Care Home since December 2013. She has always been well cared for and her main carers have given her amazing support over the years, despite several unsettling changes of manager/deputy. In autumn of 2018 she moved upstairs as her dementia was creating a few issues. She settled well and got used to different staff. I have been so thankful for their attentiveness and dedication. Her recurrent leg infection (cellulitis) has been brought under control and this has made my aunt much calmer and happier. Her drug package has been recently reviewed and I think she is like her old self from a few years ago! The home bought an animatronic soft toy cat which meows and purrs - she loves it as she has always loved pets. A brilliant idea. Thank you."

"Professional, knowledgeable and extremely caring staff across all levels. Staff show respect, compassion and offer dignity to all residents. Staff take great pride in their work and really look after the residents very well at all times. Food is fresh and homemade, offering a wide variety of appealing dishes. Staff ensure each resident is accommodated in their individual needs, from a wide choice of food to help with feeding where needed. The team is lead by an excellent "hands-on" approach manager who is frequently seen interacting with staff and residents. Overall a lovely caring, safe and secure environment that I can't fault for their care and attention to my mum's needs. We are always kept updated with any changes or general well-being needs and the staff are proactive at helping to make residents feel comfortable. Lots of interesting, varied and enjoyable activities on a daily basis including music, animal visits, flower arranging, crafts and stimulating activities."

<p>"I have designed extensions to exiting nursing and care homes and parents have used these homes. My visit to my see my auntie who has recently transferred to Middletown Grange was a pure delight. From the welcoming entrance staff and refreshment station for guests, (we had travelled 3.5 hours) through to my Aunt's room it was so bright and clean. I was subsequently given a tour of the facilities and it rates very highly in my book.
During my visit, several staff members popped into my aunt's room and were all so friendly.
My cousin and her husband spend much time visiting and it is clear to see how the staff integrate them in the care of my Auntie.
Such a good visit leaving my wife and myself happy to have visited."</p><p><strong>Keith D</strong><br />carehome.co.uk rating: 4.58 out of 5</p>

"My mum has been here since June 2015, she came here as the home she was in closed down. Mum is very well looked after and I am happy with her care."

"Mother had increased need for support following a number of falls in April. This resulted in a broken finger and a bruised ribcage. The staff were very attentive to the resulting care needs and mother says "the staff are lovely". She enjoys some of the weekly activities and she very much enjoys animal visits."

"My father has been at Middletown Grange for 8 months his first care home. We have been supported by staff during this difficult time and found the home to be perfect for caring for my father. As a family, we highly recommend Middletown Grange."

"My wife has been in Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home for about 8/9 months and is very happy in almost all respects. Was initially on the top floor (where she had a midnight visitor) now on the ground floor, a bit small but getting used to it."

"My uncle (95) has been a resident at Middletown Grange for almost six years. I have been pleased with the care he has received. He seems content and well looked after. The tea and coffee making space in the entrance hall is a great idea."

"Mother is looked after extremely well. Carers are very attentive and call in to see her regularly. She generally keeps herself occupied but she does appreciate some of the activities that are provided. She feels safe and generally contented - that is important."

"The care home is a nice place, but I'm concerned about my father's clothes/footwear. He has lost slippers, shoes, dressing gowns and all his clothes. He has acquired another patients' clothes/shoes. This really needs sorting out."

"My father has been in Middletown Grange care home for more than 6 months now; he suffers from dementia and I have been pleased by the patient and caring manner in which the staff treat him. His behaviour can be challenging, yet they are careful to treat him with dignity and respect. His care plan is regularly updated and actions taken seem to be appropriate to his needs, both physical and mental. On a couple of occasions, I have needed to talk with the manager or deputy manager over a couple of concerns, and they have immediately taken steps to deal with the issues I have raised. In spite of the demands of the work, the staff are always polite, friendly and ready with a smile."

"I was extremely impressed with Middletown Grange. The atmosphere was lovely and the residents obviously well cared for. The staff that I met were warm and welcoming. Most of all, the home was spotlessly clean - something which is often lacking."

"A clean caring environment. Good food at all mealtimes but meal times are given in the brochures and residents attend at stated times, but food can arrive late or staff are not present to serve it. The wide nationality mix of staff renders it difficult to understand them."

"I have only been visiting Middletown Grange since October 2017 when my mother became a permanent resident. Every visit has been relaxing and the staff very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this home to other people looking for a place for a member of their family if needed. The building and gardens are well kept."

"Middletown Grange worked extremely well with our family when we needed to move my father into a care home within a very tight time frame. We are very appreciative of all that was done to make this possible. We are very happy with the care and interest all the staff have shown in helping my father and our family adjust to this difficult but necessary transition. We are comforted by the knowledge that my father is now receiving the care he requires at this time in his life. It is early days yet for us with respect to our familiarity with care homes but Middletown Grange staff are guiding us every step of the way. Keep up the great work! The only constructive feedback I would like to give at this time is about the car park: I think lines to designate parking spots would mean more cars can be efficiently parked in a relatively small area. Given that most residents may have an older adult visiting routinely, it can be quite challenging for an individual of this age to find a spot."

"About one representative- She is a breath of fresh air. Intelligent and quick-witted, she's surprisingly good and prompt, enterprising and resilient - surprisingly so for her age. She certainly has the ability and I think, the ambition to advance and succeed in her chosen field. Other carers here are varied. They are an agreeable and co-operative group. Senior members are very competent but the juniors are obviously still learning the job."

"My husband has now been at Middletown Grange for nearly 15 months. He has Alzheimer's disease. I visit frequently and he never fails to say how lovely everyone is there. This is also my own experience with the staff. They are really wonderful and he is very happy which is an enormous comfort to me."

"I last completed a review in Spring 2016 about my aunt's care. She has lived here since December 2013 and is very happy. She needs considerable help with her physical needs as she is bed bound, the staff are very patient with her as she can sometimes be unsettled and frustrated which make her irritable. She loves to read, chat to people, watch TV and generally know what's going on in the home. She is 88 and a feisty character. I am secure in the knowledge that whatever her needs are the care home will meet them. I extend my heartfelt thanks."

"My mother in law came to you after a fall breaking her hip. She had spent six weeks in hospital and was not expected to live very long. With your excellent nursing and care, she managed to sit in a chair in your sitting room and even had her hair and feet done. Her passing, though terribly sad, was not as traumatic as it might have been. We are very grateful to you all."

It is hard for me to express in words how much you have done for us as a family during the last days of my Fathers life but I am going to try.

Being beside Dad in his final days was something I so much wanted to do. I thought it might be hard to achieve but I had underestimated the generosity of Middletown Grange, which enabled me to stay close by and provided me with the support, good food and so many cups of tea.

The way you all cared for my father has impressed us all in many different ways. Lots of faces come to mind as I write but I shall not try to name you all for fear of leaving someone out. The level of care that he received was outstanding – a mixture of loving care and high professional skill.

But what will remain in my memory for the rest of my life is how so many of you slipped in to his room for a last goodbye. We were all so moved to see how much he was loved. His life has not always been easy and it was good to know that he ended his life among friends. 

My dear uncle was only with you at Middletown Grange from March until December this year. I was told Middletown Grange was good so I watched with interest. I must say he had the best of care, kindness and understanding of how he should be treated. The staff, top to bottom, have shown commitment and sympathy.
This care home has exceeded what I was hoping for; for a man who was secretary of the local branch, treasurer of the British legion for 50 years - he stood strong for his commitment and principles and it have me personally, pleasure, as a nephew to be able to find him as good a place after I could no longer see and help auntie cope at home!
It was a wrench for auntie to release him to your care, they had made promises to each other after 56 years of marriage, which is getting rare in this day and age.
I have had to deal with socail services and Oxford County Council which was a complete plethora of a nightmare.
At least I did not have to worry about my uncles care, he was safe with yourselves. Would you please thank all of the Middletown Grange 'crew' from the bottom of our hearts.
