Questions families ask
What assessment is needed before moving into the home?
Before moving in, Runwood Homes arranges a full assessment to understand the resident’s needs, preferences and routines and ensure the right care and support are in place.
Can family and friends help on moving day?
Yes. Family and friends are welcome to help on moving day, and the Runwood Homes team also assists to make the transition smoother.
Should residents bring valuable belongings?
No. Runwood Homes generally recommends leaving valuable or irreplaceable items at home because it is not insured for their loss or replacement.
How much does The Grange cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Grange for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,085 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
