About Meadow Grange

Meadow Grange is a residential care home in Dronfield, Derbyshire. We care for older people, including many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. As a residential setting our work is everyday life supported properly, with community health professionals involved when someone needs them. The quality of a care home shows in ordinary moments rather than in anything written about it. Whether a person is helped to get up at the hour they would choose. Whether the food is worth looking forward to. Whether the person helping you wash knows your name and something of your history. Whether anybody notices when you are out of sorts and acts on it. That is where our effort goes, and it takes more discipline to sustain than it sounds, because the pressures of a rota pull the other way. For residents living with dementia we keep staffing steady and the day predictable, and we ask families for the details of a person's working life, their family and the places they knew, since those are the threads that make conversation possible. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
