About Cranford Grange
Cranford Grange is a nursing home in Knutsford, Cheshire. We provide nursing and personal care for older people whose health needs go beyond what can reasonably be managed at home, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter period or whose family carer needs a rest. Having qualified nurses in the team means a resident whose health becomes complex or changeable does not have to move on again. We work closely with doctors, district nurses and therapists when someone's condition alters, and clinical care is given with the same attention to privacy and dignity as every other part of the day. Dementia care shapes a great deal of what we do. We take time to learn a person's history, the people and places that matter to them and the rhythms that help them feel settled, because that knowledge is what allows us to reassure someone who is anxious rather than correct them. We keep the day familiar and explain changes in advance wherever we can. Nursing is not the whole of life here. We ask residents about their work, their family, their faith and their food, and we build the day around those answers rather than around the rota. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and keeping it depends on the ordinary details our residents notice.
