About the home
Hall Grange care home in Croydon
It would be hard to imagine another residential and dementia care home quite like MHAs Hall Grange.
For the grandeur of the property. For the uniqueness of the place. But above all, for the warmth and compassion of the people. Many of whom have dedicated decades of their careers to supporting the individuals living here.
Nestled on a quiet road in an affluent area of Croydon, Hall Grange has been at the heart of our local community for more than 60 years. Occupying the site of an old Victorian house, many of our residents share their childhood stories of the site and its breathtaking surroundings, overlooking Shirley Common and embraced by The Wilderness gardens.
