The Grange Care Centre, a private specialist centre in Faringdon and part of the Forest Healthcare group is celebrating following its achievements at the 2025 CareHome.co.uk awards, becoming the latest within the network to be recognised as a Top 20 Care Home.
Part of the reason the awards are so special and a highlight in the residential care space is that they rely on verified, real-world reviews from care recipients and their families, making The Grange's title of Top 20 Care Home in South-East England a meaningful achievement.
The Significance of the Annual CareHome.co.uk Awards Ceremony for Care Home Facilities
Hosted by CareHome.co.uk, an independent review site that supports families and individuals in making informed decisions about their care, the awards ceremony recognises excellence in the care home industry and presents awards to top-rated care homes and groups.
Rather than relying on paid nominations, the awards are focused solely on feedback from residents, care service users, and loved ones. This means that every care centre in the running for an award is considered a high-calibre and trusted provider by the people who use their services.
The directory is the leading care home comparison site in the UK. It analyses review scores, testimonials, and comments shared by those with a connection with the care centre before deciding on the 20 establishments within each region that represent the highest possible standards.
Although ratings are the primary basis for selecting a care centre as a finalist, the award hosts also review regulatory compliance since each recipient must have shown that they adhere to all the requirements set out in the CareHome.co.uk criteria.
The Grange Care Centre’s Success at the Care Home Industry Awards
Located in the quiet, tranquil village of Stanford in the Vale, Faringdon, The Grange Care Centre offers 24-hour nursing assistance and provides a variety of personalised services, including respite care and longer-term admissions.
Picked as a Top 20 Care Home in South-East England, the centre has a perfect 10/10 review score on the directory's listings, collating feedback and scoring from 69 independent participants.
Each reviewer is invited to share their score out of five for overall care experience, to provide more detailed information about the reason for their scoring, and to rate specific aspects of the care home such as staff, security, value, dignity, cleanliness and management.

Reviews and excerpts don't only help provide prospective new clients with an overview of the quality of a centre but share insights about real-world care delivery, with recent reviews stating that:
-
‘I have had a wonderful experience with this care home. The nurses and all staff are consistently kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond and are always ready to assist with any need.’ RW, daughter-in-law of a resident, Jan 2025
-
‘My mother has been at The Grange for nearly two years, her care is outstanding. She is entertained daily and has outstanding care 24/7. All her friends who come and visit say what a great place and how wonderful all the staff are.’ JB, daughter of a resident, March 2025.
All feedback is verified as authentic before being published, ensuring that anybody searching for residential care can find types of care delivery or information specific to their care needs.
Reflecting on Forest Healthcare and The Grange Care Centre’s Awards Achievements
Wendy Mead, Manager of The Grange Care Centre said, 'It was incredibly exciting to receive the news that we had been named a Top 20 Care Centre. Our thanks go to every resident and family member who took the time to share their thoughts about our service.
However, the biggest thanks go to our fantastic, dedicated care teams, who strive to go above and beyond and ensure every resident is treated with the utmost kindness, compassion, respect and friendship.
Having this recognised in such a prestigious awards ceremony is a testament to the tireless efforts our teams contribute every day, and we are proud and grateful to be able to continue promoting positive, added-value care that makes a tangible difference to the quality of life of our residents and community.’
Forest Healthcare had further cause to celebrate, with accolades in the 2025 awards ceremony, including a sixth-consecutive award as a Top 20 Mid-Size Care Home Group, and Belmont Lodge Care Centre also claiming a position as a Top 20 Care Home in the East of England.
