About The Grange
Here at The Grange in Alnwick, Northumberland, we offer a warm and genuinely homely environment where the people in our care feel safe, valued and truly at home. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistent effort our whole team puts into making everyday life as comfortable and meaningful as possible for everyone who lives here. We support a wide range of needs, including residential care for older people, dementia care, and care for those living with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We also welcome younger adults who require support, and we offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether for a planned break or in response to a change in circumstances. Whatever brings someone to The Grange, we take the time to understand who they are, what matters to them, and how we can best support their wellbeing. Alnwick is a wonderful town, and our location means residents can enjoy a real sense of community and connection to the local area. We encourage people to stay engaged with the things they love, whether that is spending time in our shared spaces, enjoying the company of others, or simply having a quiet moment to themselves. We believe strongly that good care means respecting each person as an individual, not fitting people into a routine that suits us. Families are always welcome here, and we work closely with loved ones to make sure that moving to or staying at The Grange feels like a partnership rather than a handover. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you. We think the best way to get a feel for The Grange is simply to come and see it for yourself.
