It sits in Frognal ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 20% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS West and North London ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (9 min), a pharmacy (7 min), a shop (3 min), a park (4 min), a café (1 min), a bus stop (1 min) and a railway station (2 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

Costs to expect

We estimate Spring Grove at £1,500–£1,830 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £78k–£95k.

Check what the weekly fee leaves out; hairdressing, chiropody, trips and newspapers are common extras.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Camden Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.

Who runs it

Spring Grove is run by Springdene Nursing And Care Homes Limited (company 00994783), incorporated in 1970, 40 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 8 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

Springdene Nursing and Care Homes Limited runs 3 CQC-registered services across 3 council areas; 3 of the 3 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.

Track record

Registered in January 2011, it has 15 years on the CQC register.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2016–2022), starting at Good; it has gone up 0 and down 0 times, and is now Inspected but not rated.

No new overall rating has been published for 7 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.

Reports on record: 6, with the most recent dated 15 February 2022.
