About Grange Cottage Residential home for Elderly Persons

Grange Cottage is a residential care home at Grange over Sands. We care for older people who need support with everyday life, including residents living with dementia. What we provide is help with the ordinary business of the day, given without fuss: assistance to wash and dress, medication managed properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises, support to get about safely and staff available through the night. Doing that reliably, and in a way that never makes somebody feel like a task on a list, is most of what good residential care amounts to. Dementia care here depends on continuity. Familiar faces, a predictable rhythm and surroundings that stay where they are expected remove a good deal of anxiety, so we plan rotas accordingly and take time to learn about each resident's life from their family. It is a small enough place that staff know everybody properly, which is what makes the difference in practice. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families in this part of Cumbria are welcome to visit.
