About Kesteven Grange

Kesteven Grange is a residential care home in Hull, supporting older people and younger adults from across the city, including many people living with dementia. Most people arrive here after a difficult stretch rather than at a moment of their own choosing, so we treat the first few weeks as the part that matters most. We learn how somebody likes their day arranged before we start arranging anything, and we expect that a person may be grieving for their own house while settling into a room here. Once settled, what we offer is deliberately unremarkable. Food cooked in our kitchen that people look forward to. Personal care given without fuss and in private. Medication managed properly. Warm rooms that look like somebody's own. Staff awake at night. A household with enough rhythm to give the day a shape, and nobody obliged to take part in anything. Dementia care is a large part of our work and we have settled views about it. Correcting somebody about the year, or about where a long dead husband has got to, helps nobody at all. Familiar faces, an unhurried house and enough knowledge of a person's life to find the thread of a conversation help a great deal. Relatives hold most of that knowledge and we ask for it early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take it as a floor rather than an achievement. Visit us at a busy time and ask the residents what they think.

Dementia Care at Kesteven Grange

Dementia is a large part of the work and the home has settled views: correcting somebody about the year, or about where a long dead husband has got to, helps nobody, while familiar faces, an unhurried house and knowledge of a person's life help a great deal. It adds that relatives hold most of that knowledge. Ask how distress and attempts to leave are handled, and how care changes as dementia advances. Ask what training staff receive.

What it does not include is a qualified nurse on the premises, so wound care or an unstable condition would point towards a nursing home instead.
