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 to 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)
The 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!!
