I was taken to Netherton Green Care Home on 25th December 2018 from hospital as I was not expected to live very long. If it was not for the care and attention given to me which was wonderful I would not be here today. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Now back home, able to walk again with aids
and now feeling much better, all thanks to staff at Darby House.

My husband was in Darby House for 5 days. The care, support - staff - nurses all made his last days comfortable and pain-free. I tried to care for my husband at home, but at 84 was unable to cope. I thank everyone at Darby House for getting me through this difficult time.

Mom only spent seven days here due to the final stages of a terminal illness. Even though she was only here for a short time, the care she received was absolutely brilliant. The staff are caring, courteous and professional. Their caring and sensitive natures are what has made a terribly difficult time
much easier to deal with. Thank you so much to all the staff for looking after all of us so well.

The home is well run and the staff do an excellent job caring for the residents and for any visitors. The staff keep you informed of any changes and also how the resident is doing.
They always keep you in the loop with anything you need to know and hold relatives meetings where you can ask questions
and give your opinions of how things are being done. It is a very well run home with friendly and caring staff.

Reply from Pauline Steed, Manager at Netherton Green Care Home

Thank you for your positive feedback. Again it is always good to have reviews so that we can continually maintain our standards. I am happy that our staff have met your expectations of your father in law and yourself as a family member. I will ensure the staff are given your feedback, I am sure they will be very empowered to continue to deliver such high standards of care that you have experienced.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother was admitted to Netherton Green Nursing Home following a diagnosis of terminal cancer. All of the staff were excellent, they were very friendly, approachable, polite who did their job with diligence and good humour. The nurses were extremely professional and diligent in respect of the safety
and security issues of the medications. The carers were all very supportive and treated all of their charges with respect and worked hard to maintain the resident’s dignity. The support staff, particularly the cleaning and catering personnel, were cut from the same cloth in their day to day contact with residents and visitors. Overall, the staff are what makes this an excellent facility. Without exception, all of the staff who had any dealing with my brother or any of his visitors are lovely people doing an extraordinary job. I have no reservations in recommending this care home to anyone and would be very happy to be cared for should I ever need palliative care.

Reply from Pauline Steed, Manager at Netherton Green Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. It is always very important for us to ensure the care we deliver is of a high standard. We are happy that we were able to have the pleasure to enhance your brother's time here, your feedback is always helpful for us to monitor the quality of the care we deliver and your feedback is confirmation that we are doing so.

We would like to thank all the staff at Darby Unit for the last nine months of Mom’s life. Mom had complex needs and was bedridden.
The unit was well organised and everything clean and tidy. The staff were incredibly friendly, caring and compassionate - we couldn’t fault them.

My brother in law was admitted to Netherton Green Care Home (Darby House) and spent the last ten days of his life being cared for by its dedicated staff.
The building may need a bit of 'TLC' but the professional and caring staff could not be faulted. They listened to the needs of my brother in law
and followed them exactly. They took the time to listen to our concerns and gave us all the information we needed.
From the cleaning staff to the care assistants to the nurses and administrators everyone was as professional and as kind and caring as they could possibly be. They laughed with us when times were good and when the end came for my brother in law, they cried with us.
On behalf of the family, I would like to give them a huge thank you, they made a terrible situation so much easier to bear.

Went to visit my relative today 27/08/18 and was welcomed by 2 lovely nurses outside the building as we were unsure where to go, they were very polite and helpful and directed us the way. On entering the building was very impressed how clean and well kept it looked, the atmosphere was calm and relaxed,
entering my relative's room it looks cosy and welcoming, tv on and clean, staff were very helpful and quickly responded to request made, must say first impressions are important and I was very happy.

Mom has been in care at Netherton for almost two years. She has settled well and as a family, we are happy with the care she gets. The unit she is on is a dementia unit and is a difficult unit but she receives the care she needs and the staff are caring and accommodating. Mom is a self-funder and the
care costs are excessive in my opinion.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.402)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.402) out of 10 for Netherton Green Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.527 for Netherton Green Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.527

  • 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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Netherton Green Care Home is based on 21 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.875

  • 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.
