About The Grange Care Home

The Grange Care Home is a residential care home in Kent, offering accommodation and support for older people. Full details of the Care Quality Commission's most recent findings are set out below.

The Grange is a large detached care home providing accommodation for up to 28 older people living with dementia, frailty and mobility care needs. The building is arranged over two floors with a lift to assist residents accessing the upper floor. At the time of inspection, 11 people were living at the service.

The home did not have a registered manager, though the manager of a sister service had applied to become registered manager on a temporary basis while a newly appointed manager received mentoring for the role.
