About The Grange

The Grange is a residential care home in Poole, and we support a wider range of people than you might expect of a home our size. We care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and younger adults. What holds that together is a consistent way of working. We learn how a person communicates, what their day used to look like and what they want it to look like now, and we build support around that rather than fitting everyone into the same routine. Where someone can do more for themselves, we make room for it instead of stepping in automatically. We also offer respite stays, both for people who need care for a short period and for family carers who need a proper rest and would rather take it knowing their relative is somewhere familiar. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. That is a reasonable starting point, but the real test is whether people who live here look comfortable and whether relatives feel able to raise a concern early rather than saving it up. Anyone thinking about The Grange is welcome to visit, spend some time here and ask us whatever they need to know.
