About Grange Hill House Residential Home
Grange Hill House Residential Home is in Halesowen. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and those with physical disabilities, along with respite and short stays. We would rather be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted the findings, we have been working through them, and anybody considering the home should ask us directly what has changed and what is still to be put right. We would think less of a family that did not ask. What we are trying to offer is not complicated, though it is hard to do consistently. A comfortable house where older people are looked after properly, treated as adults and left in charge of their own days as far as they are able. That begins with asking how somebody has always lived and then actually working that way rather than fitting people to a routine that suits the rota. Dementia care here depends on familiarity. We keep staffing as steady as we can, we do not hurry anybody, and we take the trouble to learn what reassures a particular person. For residents with physical disabilities we look at equipment and at how the building is arranged so that independence is protected where it can be. Families are welcome through the day and are kept properly informed. Please come and look round, speak to residents and relatives, and judge the place for yourself.
