Highly recommended outstanding care home
My Mother was resident in The Grove from Jan 2019 to April 2020. When she moved there she had mid stage dementia which progressed during her time there. My step father passed away with Vascular Dementia in 2015 in a care home in Coventry so from mid 2015 to the end of 2018 I probably visited every care home providing demential care in Coventry and Solihull and I can honestly say The Grove was by far the best. The accommodation may not be 4/5* but my Mum was more than happy with her room and the home in general. The care she received though was outstanding - and at times, due to her illness she could be a bit difficult. I can't praise the staff enough. The have all worked there for a long time and are very approachable so you are able to build a relationship with them and they clearly care greatly for their residents treating them as part of a family. This covers not only the care team but also the cleaning team, the cook and regular visitors. Mum passed away during lock down - she decided as the dementia progressed she no longer wanted to be here but even during this difficult time the staff were extremely compassionate allowing my daughter and I into the home (subject to all the necessary PPE and guidance) to be with Mum when she passed away. I can't praise them highly enough.
