About Us
Birchams Grange is a residential care home near Ledbury. We provide care for older people, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays.
We are a residential home rather than a nursing home, so our strength is in the daily business of living well. Help with washing and dressing, getting about safely, medication, meals that people look forward to, and the company that so often disappears when someone has been struggling alone at home. Where nursing input is needed we work alongside the district nursing team and local GPs.
Mobility matters here. For residents with a physical disability we focus on what can still be done rather than listing what cannot, and we make sure equipment, layout and the amount of help offered are right. Being helped too much is its own kind of loss.
With dementia, we keep the day steady and the surroundings familiar, and we ask families to tell us about the person's working life, their interests and their habits. Knowing somebody was always up at five, or never drank tea, saves a lot of confusion later.
Being in the Herefordshire countryside, getting out is easy when the weather allows.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round Birchams Grange.
