Wendy Smith heads a Professional Team of Highly Dedicated Qualified Registered Nurses and Care Assistants. Qualified Caring Staff are on duty Twenty Four Hours a day to provide all the Care and Attention that you might need.

All staff receive regular training and are well qualified to look after the Medical, Physical and Emotional well-being of our residents.

All our residents are encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves, thereby remaining active both physically and mentally, we find that the more our residents able to do for themselves, the happier they are.

Each resident has their own radio nurse-call enabling assistance to be summoned should the need arise. All bathrooms are equipped with handrails and hoists and a passenger lift provides easy access to all floors.

Our own Social Organisers are always on hand to organise various types of activities and events, perhaps an afternoon of music, singing or reminiscing about years gone by, there is also a substantial film library, frequent mini concerts by professional entertainers and events are held in and around the home, we also have the large Events Centre Hall opened in 2006 which has a 5ft screen for film and other presentations, it is available for residents birthdays, etc and numerous other events, residents can also often enjoy trips out to the countryside or seaside for lunch etc.
 For those residents that prefer to spend some quiet time reading or simply relaxing there are Quiet Lounge Areas.

Meals are served in the Dining Room or if you wish, in our own room. Old fashioned Home Cooking using the finest fresh produce is the order of the day with a varied and nutritious menu and special diets if required, we always try to cater for likes and dislikes as well.

It is our policy that residents should only be on the minimum medication they require, residents retain their own doctor, unless they come from out of the area, in which case they will be well cared for by the home's GP, there is a regular surgery for all residents and all medication is looked after by our Registered Nurses and your own Doctor, a detailed plan is also agreed for your personal care. 
 


Grange Hall aims t
o provide the highest standards of care whilst ensuring that all our residents are as at ease
as they would be within their own independent home environment. 
 
 

Edwardian Summerhouse built of all sorts of marked Roman stones from the nearby huge 1st/2nd CenturyFort of Trimontium
 

"You can see it from the weekly Trimontium Walk"

A 'ROMAN' SUMMERHOUSE

The story is that Mr Roberts, the Edwardian owner of what was Drygrange House took cartloads of stone from the 1st/2nd Century Trimontium Roman Fort nearby and had them built into a summer house.

The inside is still lined with fumed oak, surrounding selected 16th/17th century stones built into the Roman walls, and furnished with two little wrought iron gates. Just right for tea and muffins - and a lump or two of your very own history to stir your curiosity.
(The large doors fitted are to protect the interior)


"
The Trust is very grateful for the cooperation of Grange Hall Care Home, Drygrange and also for the interest of Scottish Borders Council and Historic Scotland in trying to preserve what may be a Victorian "Folly", but is in fact the only surviving built collection of Roman Trimontium stones that one can see above ground today."
 

The three 'pillars' to the front have a Roman Stone 'Basin' or a Roman Drain at waist level,
 the niche above the middle 'pillar' is now empty
(it must have held a statue of
some sort - but no old photos have yet been found to show it)

T
he walls are totally made of bits and pieces of
Roman Masonry and Stonework.
(Not something that Historic Scotland would encourage today)
 

 
  Once upon a time, His Lordship would arrive home to his Wonderful Romantic Scottish Baronial Mansion  
The Cooks would have his meals freshly cooked from the Best Quality Ingredients. He knew that his staff were awaiting him,
keen to please, and serve his every need.
The Household Staff would serve him at the dinner table or take his meals to his room.
 
 
The Housekeeper would have everything spick and span, His clothes would be washed and pressed, ready to wear




From Warm Summer Days to the Cosy Winter Nights, Grange Hall has always been a haven of informal relaxed comfort

 
His bedroom would be clean and a freshly made up bed would ensure a good nights sleep and if he awoke and required a
night-time drink or snack , his night staff would attend at his beck and call !

He would be gently awoken by the household staff to a freshly prepared breakfast, and look forward to another Glorious Day.
  Looks like nothing has changed for
the folk's that live at Grange Hall!!
