The Grange and Elm Court receives another 'Good' rating from CQC!



The exceptional management and team and staff from The Grange and Elm Court in Cundy Cross, Barnsley were delighted to receive the results of their latest CQC inspection, which rated the service as being ‘Good’ across all areas.


The home has maintained a ‘Good’ rating following its last inspection in 2016, and was recognised for its processes and practices that kept residents safe and comfortable. Other key highlights from the report included staff approachability, the promotion and protection of dignity and independence, and good quality of staff training. The report, which was published on 28th February 2019 also detailed that the home’s risk assessment and management, healthcare support and leadership were of a good standard.

Manager Vicki Ellis says of the report and its findings:

“We have worked hard to create and maintain an open, inclusive culture at our home. Communication is absolutely vital, and I was pleased to see that inspectors had recognised our efforts and the positive outcomes we have achieved. Each person’s needs are unique, and I was thrilled the report highlighted that we kept people safe and supported while staying with us. We encourage our residents to live as independently as possible. Again, this was highlighted as a positive part of our report. Our staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and respectful, and they take time to get to know each of our residents. I couldn’t ask any more from my team. They’re a credit to the home, and to the company.”

The Grange and Elm Court is managed by Your Health Limited. Managing Director Vicki Weller says:

“I am so proud of Vicki and her dedicated staff members for their continued hard work. Residents speak very highly of the service, and all feel safe, comfortable and well supported during their time at The Grange and Elm Court. The report recognises the home as being safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, which is a credit to the team. Everyone pitches in to ensure the service is the very best it can be. We couldn’t ask for any more from them all. The care provided by The Grange and Elm Court is unique and person-centred. The needs and personal choices of each resident are taken into consideration at every turn, and every decision is made with their safety, comfort and happiness in mind. The home offers a very special service; it’s wonderful to be a part the supportive community that The Grange and Elm Court has created.”

Christmas Cards of Kindness

If you follow our Postcards of Kindness project on Facebook you'll know we recently partnered with thortful.com cards to raise money for Dementia Adventure via a very special collection of postcards. Detailed below, the concepts for the cards were developed by members of the charity's special interest group, each one living with a form of dementia, and brought to life by members of thortful's community of creators. The idea is very simple; via the thortful app anyone will be able to choose a postcard and send Christmas wishes and memories to any of our 1,000+ care homes registered with Postcards of Kindness. 100% of the profits from each card's sale will go to Dementia Adventure, a charity that promotes, organises and funds outdoor adventures for those living with dementia. The hope is that each card will trigger nostalgia or inspire a conversation, to let care home residents know they're not alone this Christmas - a priceless outcome for just 99p. The cards can

My Week With Your Health Limited

My work experience wasn’t what I had expected. As someone who has always wanted to work in care or medicine, going to a care home was my first thought when told I needed to find a work experience placement.  When Your Health Limited accepted me for the week, I was ecstatic. Yes, I couldn’t be based at a care home for the whole week, and that was slightly disappointing, but I could still experience what care was like, and get a look behind the scenes as well. The first care home I went to was Langwith Lodge, in Nottinghamshire.  Not having been to many care homes beforehand, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to see, or what to expect. Would everyone just stay in their beds, eating, sleeping and never truly aware of the world?  Whatever I expected, it didn’t come close to what I actually found.  The residents were moving freely around the home, engaging in the different activities on offer, chatting with the carers and other residents.  It was incredible; you’d almost never

Postcards Of Kindness Spreading Joy This Summer

Your postcards are making a real difference this summer, and beyond... Last year our care group launched the Postcards of Kindness appeal, which asked members of our homes' local communities to send postcards from wherever in the world they'd been on holiday. While we knew that some individuals were likely to receive cards from their own relatives we wanted to include everybody at each home; we wanted to ensure that no resident was left out, and make every adventure accessible to all. The response to our appeal was phenomenal, and thousands of cards from all around the world were received in a very short space of time. Not only did our homes receive postcards from friends, relatives and neighbours, but cards also came from people living on the other side of the world and everywhere in between. The senders were keen to share details of their hometowns and holidays, and inspire happy memories for our residents to share with staff members. Our campaign hoped to alleviate
