Meet The Manager
Wendy Hambrook is Registered Manager at Grangefield Residential Care Home.
Wendy is an all-round star and works tirelessly to provide the best care for each client.
Grangefield is a beautiful and stylish boutique care home for the elderly, which sits across from wide open countryside. What makes us so special is that we are a small, close-knit and well-run home. Our various awards are testament to this.
Please click on the 'About us' tab below to find our more.
Grangefield is a beautiful and stylish boutique home with views of wide open countryside. We provide day care, respite and long-term residential care in a warm and cosy setting. We have won various awards.
The theme in the home is very much about fitting in and around our residents. Want a lie-in followed by a full English breakfast? That’s not a problem at Grangefield. By remaining small and close-knit, we are able to provide a genuinely attentive service.
Most of our bedrooms open out on to a manicured courtyard garden. Residents enjoy a range of all-inclusive services such as hairdressing and chiropody as well as various activities, events and entertainment. There is something different to do every day.
The home is run by a dedicated manager and a team of passionate local carers. The owner is also closely involved in the home. Families and friends are welcome to visit anytime and we offer regular next-of-kin forums.
The home has invested heavily in the latest technology to keep our residents healthy and safe. We also have a strong focus on staff training and development, which is important for a happy and motivated team.
