Timken Grange care home

My father went to live in Timkin Grange Care home in August 2023 at the age of 95. From the moment he moved, his complicated needs were met with so much kindness and empathy and Dad was treated with respect and dignity always. This All-Star Team are amazing in the way they connect with the residents despite the daily pressure and high demand of ev… Read moreeryone's needs. I have deep respect for you all and I am eternally grateful to you for your ongoing support to all of our family and understanding during a very difficult time. I know that he appreciated your care and patience, although he probably didn't think to say so due to his mental illness. Thank you so much.

I count it a privilege to write a review about Timken Grange Care Home in Duston. I visit the home at least twice a week to visit my friend, a resident. My friend is very happy there which in turn makes me happy. The staff always go the extra mile to make things run smoothly and have a pleasing manner which relax both visitors and residents alike. … Read moreI look forward to my visits each week, I always count it a joy.

Dad was there for a couple of years, the carers who looked after him did a fantastic job they made him feel at home there. The management team was just as good, they couldn't have been more helpful. Towards the end of his life the whole team bent over backwards to make him, myself and the family comfortable. Thank you to the Timken team.

Almost immediately after Mum arrived the staff got a smile out of her. The staff at Timken Grange are amazing, and extremely well trained. I appreciated the communication particularly as I live at least 2 hours away from Northampton. On the day mum passed a phone call in the morning, the message clear and professional, had me making my way to Timke… Read moren Grange in time along with two of my daughters to be with Mum as she passed, a promise I had made to her if I possibly could. I can never thank the carer who made that call enough. A thoroughly lovely touch was the comfort box Timken Grange placed in Mum's room for the use of the family after a palliative diagnosis, it was so appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Timken Grange, the registered care manager is enthusiastic, full of energy and has demonstrable knowledge. Her values clearly filter down through the troops and this created absolute confidence that our mum was in a safe and positive environment.

Just wanted to say that the care you offered not only to my father in his final weeks but us his children too was outstanding. We can not thank you enough for the care you gave him in the past two years after his dementia sadly made living at home impossible. You truly made it his home and we were also welcomed with open arms including the family p… Read moreets! All staff were absolutely superb in their interactions with Dad and showed great respect and consideration. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we can not fault the level of communication from the home on any matters relating to Dad. Sadly the final two weeks we saw your staff shift up another gear in their care especially when it became clear his time was very near. I am only too pleased that Dad was able to pass with not only your staff but also us at his bedside. This gave great comfort to us both and we were under no illusion that the home staff were as affected by his death. I would have no doubt in recommending Timken Grange.

My stepfather died this morning whilst I was on my way to see him. Hearing that he was not on his own when he died was extremely comforting. He died in his sleep with a Senior Carer holding his hand and the nurse outside the room. I'm so aware that this is not the case for many care home residents and feel quite overwhelmed by the care, love and co… Read moremmitment shown by the Timken Grange team. Thank you on his behalf and from myself. We were so lucky to find you.

The care given to my friend was amazing. My friend was only at the care home for a short time, she had dementia. Unfortunately, my friend became unwell and was admitted to hospital for a couple of weeks. My friend returned to Timken Grange but sadly, passed away. In her last few days, the staff treated my friend with dignity, care and kindness, as … Read moreI spent a lot of time with my friend, the support shown to me throughout was wonderful. A great team.
