Stories from families like yours
When you’re looking for the right care home, hearing from people who’ve already been through the experience can be incredibly reassuring. These are the stories of residents and families who found the support, warmth and sense of belonging they were looking for at East Croft Grange.
“I find Eastcroft to be a warm, welcoming home from home. The lovely staff, who treat everyone with kindness and respect, are always on hand to help and assist. It is a safe, happy environment set in beautiful grounds. Residents can often be found sat out front in the sun, by the water fountain, ice cream in hand. Like many people, I never thought I would have a parent that ended up in a care home but I am forever grateful that it turned out to be Eastcroft.”

Daughter of Resident
“My uncle went for emergency respite to East Croft and from the moment we called they couldnt do enough to help. The process of admission was made easy and well explained. Extending was never an issue and each time we popped in my uncle was immaculately turned out and happy.
Having extended his respite my uncle sadly passed away in the home, the care given to him and us at this time has been exceptional.
It was obvious he was treated with genuine care and compassion and as an individual.
As a family we will never be able to explain how much comfort it brought us knowing he spent what turned out to be his last few weeks in such warm and caring surroundings, supported by staff who openly cared.
I would have no hesitation in recommending East Croft to anybody and its a credit to the staff who all work there.”

“My husband lived at East Croft Grange for almost two years. He had Alzheimer’s and was very active. He was allowed the freedom to make it his home. The staff were his family and treated him with dignity, smiles and gentle care if he was difficult. A very professional team. Our family were allowed to visit any time and always made welcome. The garden in summer was important, a nice social space. The dedicated nursing team who looked after him (and me) were incredible.”
