ABOUT US

Welcome
When you move house it takes a little while to get used to your new home and surroundings. You will be given a warm welcome when you arrive at Caldey Grange Care Home. We will introduce you to all the other residents, giving you every assistance in moving in and help you to settle down among new friends.

You will find the staff and residents friendly and helpful and will enjoy the family atmosphere of Caldey Grange, a Home for living in, not just staying in.
