My dad was admitted to the home in January after breaking his hip and being diagnosed with vascular dementia. From the moment we stepped in the door, we were made to feel very welcome, and the manager is very approachable. Dad is not the easiest of people to care for as he is very independent, but he
is cared for very well and is well fed with home-cooked meals. All the staff are lovely and very friendly and you can see that they really care about Dad. There is a log online that you have access to where all dads notes for the day are written, which is very helpful, as I can see Dad's care, food, any concerns and what he has been up to during the day.

Reply from Sarah, Office Administrator at The Dell Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review. We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience of your dad's move into our home. We understand how difficult it can be when a loved one transitions into care, especially following a serious injury and diagnosis. We're so pleased to hear that you felt welcomed from the very beginning and that our team, including the manager, made you feel supported during what can be a challenging time. Your dad's independence is something we respect deeply, and it means a great deal to us to know that he is feeling well cared for and enjoying his meals. We're especially glad that our staff's friendliness and compassion are shining through, and that you can see how much they care for him. We're also happy to hear that the online care log has been useful. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. It's a privilege to care for your dad.

I visted my friend for her birthday on the 19th. Family members were also visiting. The staff at The Dell were very helpful in making this a special day. They had put up banners and balloons for the occasion and had sat my friend in the lounge, leaving room for us visitors t sit with her. They made
us feel very welcome and had made my friend feel extra special. All the staff are very friendly here.

Residents using the garden when the weather is good, planting vegetables for use in the kitchen and flowers in hanging baskets which look pretty. This is great for the residents' wellbeing, keeping them active and their brains stimulated.

Reply from Daniela Santos, Office Administrator at The Dell Care Home

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're so pleased to hear that the residents are enjoying the garden and getting involved in planting vegetables and flowers. Activities like these are wonderful for keeping minds active and spirits high, and it's great to know that you've noticed the positive impact on their wellbeing. The hanging baskets have certainly brightened up the space, and the produce grown is always a welcome addition in our kitchen. Your support and kind words mean a lot to our whole team.

I just wanted to say once again that The Dell is excellent, again I have witnessed firsthand that the residents always come first. This is how it should be, we have entrusted our loved one into their care as their needs are greater than family members can cope with. This means that seeing your loved
one is a lovely visit and not visiting as a carer.
The managers ensure that every complaint is dealt with promptly and effectively, and they work extremely hard to ensure that everything is in place as it should be. It is a thankless task for them at times as people do not always see the bigger picture.
Also, they always have time for a chat with residents and visitors- excellent customer service.
I must also thank the staff as well because they work extremely hard as I know firsthand that residents are not always in a happy place, but they work hard to ensure that they are safe and cared for.
At the end of the day, I know that Mum is safe, well cared for, loved, and happy. Thank you.

Reply from Sarah, Office Manager at The Dell Care Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly grateful for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience.

Your acknowledgment of their efforts, especially in addressing concerns promptly and providing excellent customer service, will be shared with the team, as it means a lot to them.

My Mum has been a resident of The Dell Care Home for 2 Years and I personally cannot fault it. During the month of December Mum was entertained almost every day by various activities or entertainers. There was a good feeling of merriment at all times. I even got up myself and sung and danced for all
residents! I visited Mum on Christmas Day and Mum was so happy. The Carers there treat all relatives with such respect at all times and a coffee is always made for us on our visits. All in All a very positive and peaceful place to be.

Reply from Sarah, Administrator at The Dell Care Home

Dear S, Thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us! We're absolutely delighted to hear how much your mum has been enjoying her time at The Dell Care Home, especially during the festive season. December is always a special time here, and we're so pleased that the activities and entertainment brought joy and merriment to both residents and visitors alike and how wonderful that you joined in with singing and dancing too! It's heartwarming to know your mum was so happy on Christmas Day, and we're thrilled that our carers have made both you and your mum feel welcomed and respected during your visits. A warm coffee and a friendly smile are the least we can offer to make your time with us as comfortable as possible. Thank you again for your kind words and for highlighting the positive atmosphere here at The Dell Care Home. If there's ever anything more we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know!

I was a bit dubious about having to let my dad go into care home (no one can look after him like I can) but he seems to have settled now.
The staff are friendly and helpful it's only been two months, so far all is good.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely understand how difficult the decision to move a loved one into a care home can be. It's wonderful to hear that your dad is settling in well and that you've found our staff to be friendly and helpful. We truly value your trust in us and want you to know that we're here to provide the best care possible, treating your dad with the same kindness and attention as we would our own family. If there's anything we can do to make things even better for you or your dad, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here for you every step of the way.

Your lady resident of 1 1/2 years had been in hospital after a life-threatening fall. She was taken in at The Dell Care Home to such a lovely room with a garden view and given thoughtful and loving care. There are many staff, all are watchful and kind, helping residents to get over their difficulties.
I am the lady's elderly friend and am always treated with care and respect when I call in. If I needed care, I would choose them.

On entering this care home you are welcomed by friendly/efficient staff - into a kind and caring environment. The cleanliness throughout is exemplary and everything is spick and span in the residents; rooms - where everything is in its rightful place - and there is no risk to the residents - who are
lovingly cared for at all times. If they are distressed or upset, they are immediately comforted and are all encouraged to engage in the activities/entertainment provided for them. The food provided is homecooked and nourishing and they are assisted if necessary. The nursing staff are always available to discuss any concerns and there are regular meetings for relatives to engage with management - who are very approachable. This is a wonderful home.

Over the six months that my Great Grandma has spent at The Dell Care Home, I couldn't be more grateful to each and every staff member. Initially, I was very worried about her being away from us and shared this with the management at The Dell, they were very reassuring and made every effort to ensure
us that she was happy. Including sharing care plans with us, which I could access online as well as pictures of her eating her dinner as well as her favourite foods which they make especially for her. She’s very happy there, it’s like a home from home. The home and her room are very clean, the staff are happy and the overall atmosphere is warm and comfortable.
Thank you so much to the team you really put our grandma first and letting me and my family be a part too, we as a family we will be forever grateful.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Dell Care Home. The care they take of our loved ones cannot complain about, nothing is too much trouble for them. The team works well together with the same high standards and care. The activities they organise are amazing and carried out with such
enthusiasm both by staff and residents! The way in which they have handled the Covid19 situation is second to none, and they have kept family members informed at all times. Our family can view the care notes online and do WhatsApp video calls to my aunt. If you're looking for a care home that is homely and non-corporate - look no further; The Dell, I cannot recommend more. The team are amazing and a credit to their profession.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.719)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.719) out of 10 for The Dell Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.719 for The Dell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.719

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Dell Care Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
