About Greenhill Grange Residential Home
Greenhill Grange is a residential home in Frome providing care for older people who can no longer manage at home without help. We are a home rather than a facility, and we run it accordingly. People choose their own routines, keep their own belongings about them and are supported to carry on doing whatever they still can. Our staff help with washing and dressing, with moving about safely, with medication and with meals, and they do it patiently, because being hurried is one of the things older people mind most. A lot of what we offer is company. Many people arrive after a long period of living alone, and the change from silence to having somebody to talk to over breakfast does more good than any amount of formal activity. That said, there is plenty going on for those who want it, and the garden is well used when the Somerset weather is kind. We keep a close watch on health and work with the local GP practice so that changes are picked up early. Respite stays are available where somebody needs care for a short period or a family carer needs a break. Families are welcome to visit and to be as involved as they wish. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will arrange it.
