About The Grange
The Grange is a residential care home in Trimdon Grange, County Durham. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with mental health conditions. A home that takes adults of different ages has to resist the pull towards a single pace. What suits a resident in their eighties who likes an early night is not what suits somebody in their forties who wants to be out during the day and back late. Both are reasonable, and our job is to make room for both rather than let one become the house default. Supporting people with mental health needs comes down mostly to consistency. Knowing what an unsettled period looks like for a particular person, what tends to help early on, and what is simply part of who they are rather than a symptom to be managed. We plan that with the person and with the professionals involved in their care, and we try to be a steady presence whether things are going well or not. Respite stays are available for short periods of support or to give a family carer a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to visit and ask us whatever they need to.
