Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
Effective was rated Good at the September 2019 inspection. This domain covers training, care planning, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well the home supports people to maintain their health. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would have expected to see evidence of dementia-specific training and care planning. No specific detail about training content, GP access arrangements, medication administration, or food quality is included in the published report.Is this home caring?
Caring was rated Good at the September 2019 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether people are supported to maintain their independence. A Good rating here means inspectors were satisfied that the home's approach to care was respectful and kind. No specific observations, such as whether staff used preferred names, knocked before entering rooms, or responded well to distress, are recorded in the published report. No quotes from residents or relatives are included in the available text.Is the home responsive?
Responsive was rated Good at the September 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether the home adapts its care to individual needs, whether activities are meaningful and varied, and whether complaints are handled well. The home supports people with a wide range of needs including dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment. No specific examples of activities, individual engagement, or complaint handling are recorded in the published summary.Is the home well-led?
Well-led was rated Requires Improvement at the September 2019 inspection. This is the one domain where inspectors found the home falling short of the Good standard. The published summary does not specify what the concerns were, whether they related to governance systems, management oversight, staff culture, or something else. The home is operated by Derbyshire County Council, with a nominated individual named in the registration. The inspection took place over five years ago, so it is not known whether the issues identified at the time have since been resolved.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
The Grange Care Home scores 68 out of 100. Four of five domains were rated Good at inspection, but the Requires Improvement rating for leadership pulls the overall score down, and the published report contains very little specific detail to reassure families beyond the headline ratings.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary

How it sits against good practice
It's worth visiting to get a feel for whether The Grange's approach to rehabilitation and long-term care would suit your family member.
Worth a visit
The Grange Care Home, at 88 Southgate, Sheffield, was rated Good overall at its inspection in September 2019, with Good ratings across Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive. The home is run by Derbyshire County Council and has 25 beds, supporting people with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment. The published report is very brief and contains almost no specific observations, quotes, or detail beyond the headline domain ratings. The single most important flag for families is the Requires Improvement rating in Well-led. Leadership quality is one of the strongest predictors of how a home performs over time, and this rating means inspectors found something in governance, culture, or oversight that needed addressing. The report was published in November 2019, which means these findings are now over five years old. A great deal can change in that time. Before making a decision, ask who the current registered manager is, how long they have been in post, and whether a more recent inspection has taken place. Request to see the home's most recent quality monitoring report, and visit at different times of day to form your own view of how staff interact with the people who live there.
