There are lots of activities for residents to take part in if they want to, as well as regular visits from the hairdresser and chiropodist.
The summer bbq for residents' relatives and friends was a lovely afternoon and the staff had worked really hard to make it a success.
In all I am very pleased that I chose Dale Mount. The staff are friendly and most importantly very caring. They keep me informed of any concerns regarding my relative and I feel that any concerns I may have are addressed promptly.
Special days are celebrated for residents, ie. birthdays ,
Christmas, Easter etc. and for those residents who are able and wish to, outings are arranged to local places such as the nearby garden centre and theatre for Christmas pantomime.
The Activities Co-ordinator is brilliant and dedicated to making everyone as happy as possible.
Mum has not been this happy for years. The staff are fantastic and ensure she has lots of fun and laughter. It is not an easy job for them as dementia sadly progresses, but they do their best to have mum's dignity at the forefront when personal care is a challenge. I appreciate them so much as it...
You for all you do.

My mother has been at Dalel Mount for just over two and a half years and during that time there has been nothing to complain about. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The home has a peaceful and relaxed feeling. The only improvement I would like to see, would be a back up for the activities organiser during her holidays and days off.
I attended the Dale mount quizzical BBQ yesterday. We had a fantastic afternoon, the entertainment was spot on. The quiz was great and gets everyone thinking including the residents, which is a great idea. The singer was really good, getting people up on their feet to have a dance. With a mixture...
The staff were all amazing, the hard work they put into it really paid off.
It was a great turn out, and was so nice to see the residents outside and having fun.
Thanks to all the staff for making our afternoon so nice. Can't wait for the next one.
I am very happy with the care my mum receives at Dale Mount. She is happy with her friends and she really enjoys the activities that take place everyday. Staff are welcoming and friendly. I have issues at all with Dale Mount.

My mother moved into Dale Lodge a year ago and she is a changed person, extremely settled, comfortable and very happy. The staff are lovely, caring, always laying on activities to keep the residents entertained. I visit Mum frequently and find the Lodge a very relaxing place. Thank you

It's also wonderful to hear that you find Dale Mount a relaxing place to visit. Family plays such an important role in our residents' lives, and we're glad you feel welcome and at ease when you come to see your mum.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts - it truly means a lot to all of us
Very friendly and welcoming staff. I feel like the residents could be entertained a little more as they are all sleeping all the time and look bored.

I had reason to involve the Council and the CQC during her time here as I felt there was a safeguarding issue.
My mother was paying £1050 a week for her ‘care’.
Shortly before Xmas 2023 she was admitted to hospital with sepsis and just over a week later was refused re-admission to the home because ‘there weren’t enough people on at lunch to help feed her’.
So, five days before Xmas she was effectively evicted. Be warned.

Feedback is always welcome and as a company we take onboard any comments to improve our service. We are sorry you felt the need to raise a concern with CQC surrounding your mum's care, we have conducted a full investigation into your concerns and found no cause for concern, but we took on board your feedback and discussed with you ways to move forward. Sadly, following your mum's admission to hospital her care needs had increased and after an assessment it was identified by the care home and ward sister agreed that mum's needs could not be met at Dale Mount. It is always sad when a client cannot return home however we have to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all clients within the Care home.
My father has been in Dale Mount since June 2023. He took his time to settle, but now he is happy there. He takes part in the activities and the staff and residents all like him. The staff are all very helpful and kind.

My Mum has Alzheimer's and I was very anxious about leaving her in a care home. Mum has settled in very well and has responded to the staff who are friendly, helpful and sympathetic to her needs. The Manager and Deputy Manager have informed me of any medical staff visits that Mum has, or any other issues that have occurred. The carers are helpful, welcoming and accommodating to myself and the family when I visit Mum twice weekly. Mum has her hair washed and set on a weekly basis and cut as necessary. I am very pleased that Mum is happy at Dale Mount.
My father took a while to settle as he is very independent and was adamant he didn’t need any care or assistance. As the months went by it was lovely to see that my dad had put on a little weight and I was starting to see a glimpse of his sense of humour. Dad has regular health care, hair cuts etc....
My father took a while to settle as he is very independent and was adamant he didn’t need any care or assistance. As the months went by it was lovely to see that my dad had put on a little weight and I was starting to see a glimpse of his sense of humour. Dad has regular health care, hair cuts etc. I asked him 'so what’s it been like here?' He said 'The carers are great they look after me very well. I can’t fault them. I can’t remember their names. The place is so clean. The food is lovely but I don’t eat much. I do like the pudding'. There has not been a problem getting in touch with staff if need be via phone or e-mail. All members of staff that I have been in contact with have gone above and beyond. So thank you.

My mother in law has only been a resident since November 2017 and within that period has had to spend some time in hospital so no long-term experience, however quite pleased so far. The staff have been friendly and helpful although we had had some issues with missing clothes, medical visits and establishing mother in laws personal requirements such as hairdressing. However, I think these are now all resolved and perhaps we needed to be more patient and understand how the internal operations of the home were working. Sometimes things were reported but it appeared the response was slow.
My great aunt has settled in nicely and is happy and well looked after. The staff are all caring and cheerful, there is always a happy atmosphere and plenty of activities to keep the residents amused. They also have spa days, so the ladies always have lovely hair and nails.

Mum has been here for just over a year and she seems very happy and content. The staff are very cheerful and helpful and genuinely care for the residents. We're always kept informed of any concerns and any changes in medication. Lovely mother's day afternoon tea and summer bbq with a live band and a weekly activity programme. The location is rural but close to the A2. Mums room overlooks the garden which is always well kept and tidy. I would definitely recommend.
