Overall, I am very happy with the care my wife receives at Derwent Residential Care Home. I am myself made to feel welcome at all times as I am there most days visiting my wife. The staff and carers treat my wife with dignity and respect at all times and this makes me feel comfortable when I leave at the end of the day. I hope this care and level of professionalism continues for the future care of my wife.

Those residents who reside in the rooms upstairs and have mobility problems would find it very difficult to descend the stairs. My mother is bed bound and could only get around using a wheelchair; noway could she join in with activities downstairs. There is a stair lift but would still be a problem for both residents and staff alike.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience of our Derwent Care Home, we really appreciate your comments and observations. We are currently embarking on re-decoration and improvement works at Derwent and are looking into options for easier access to the ground floor.

I visit my sister in law every week and always find the staff to be very attentive and caring towards her and all of the other residents. Her room and the communal areas are spotlessly clean and there are activities on offer for those that want to join in. It is reassuring to myself and my family that she is looked after so well
Mum moved into the Derwent for temporary respite care and enjoyed her stay so much, decided to stay on a permanent basis. The staff are friendly and efficient, creating a happy safe and caring environment for the residents.
