About Dene Grange Care Home

Dene Grange is a nursing home in Hexham, Northumberland. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays. We have registered nurses in the team, which means health needs can be met here rather than becoming a reason to move somebody again. We work to stop this feeling like a hospital ward. When that happens people stop being asked what they want and days lose their shape, so we keep our attention on meals, fresh air, prompt help and privacy. For residents living with dementia we protect routine, keep surroundings familiar, and ask relatives for the details that let us understand what somebody means. If a resident cannot easily speak up for themselves, we make sure somebody does on their behalf, whether a relative or an independent advocate. We work hard at keeping the same staff on the same shifts, because familiarity does more for people here than almost anything else we could arrange. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would rather spend our effort on the ordinary hours than on a good first impression.
