Mobberley care home renamed Cranford Grange by residents and team members

A care home in Mobberley has been renamed by residents and team members following completion of its new management earlier this year. 

Cranford Grange, on Hall Lane, formerly known as Sunrise of Mobberley, is now managed by Care UK, after the provider announced they will be taking over the management of seven Sunrise Senior Living UK and 19 Gracewell Healthcare’s homes in the UK. 

To help inspire the new name, the General Manager and team members, who will remain in place under Care UK, and residents at the home were invited to submit their suggestions based on Mobberley’s history, places and famous locals. 

Residents were encouraged to reminisce about their favourite memories spent in and around Mobberley, with team members also sharing their own experiences of the area to help decide on a name.

Lisa Burrows, Home Manager at Cranford Grange, said: “We’re thrilled to now be part of the Care UK family and with our new name, Cranford Grange. 

“Residents, their families, and team members have all been enjoying learning more about Mobberley’s rich history. After much consideration and many suggestions, we have chosen Cranford Grange, which was attributed to the Victorian author, Elizabeth Gaskell, who based her novel, Cranford, here in Knutsford.”

Care UK is a rapidly expanding provider offering high quality care for both funded and private residents, with more ‘outstanding’ rated homes than any other provider. As well as having a strong reputation for sector leading quality care, Care UK has invested heavily in developing a market-leading hospitality and lifestyle product reflecting similar focus areas to the Sunrise and Gracewell approach.

Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Cranford Grange, which remains open to potential residents, incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities. The building has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents.
