About Osmaston Grange
Here at Osmaston Grange, we provide nursing home care for people in Belper and the wider Derbyshire area. Our team supports older adults, people living with dementia, individuals with physical disabilities, and younger adults who need a higher level of care. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. When someone moves in with us, we take time to understand who they are, what matters to them day to day, and how we can make Osmaston Grange feel like home rather than just a place to receive care. Our nursing team works alongside care staff to make sure that medical needs are met alongside emotional and social wellbeing. We maintain close relationships with GPs, community nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that each person in our care receives timely, joined up support. We want to be straightforward about where we are. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we have taken that seriously. We have been working through the feedback carefully and making real changes to the way we operate. We are committed to being transparent with residents and their families about the progress we are making, and we welcome anyone who wants to come and see for themselves how things are moving forward. If you would like to find out more about life at Osmaston Grange, or if you want to discuss whether we might be the right fit for someone you care about, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk.
