All staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help my dad. If any concerns about my dad they always get in touch with me and keep me informed. They do their best to keep my dad happy and to keep his dignity in every possible way. My dad became a resident a long time ago within Daisy Nook House
and always been happy here. My dad was recently in hospital and the support my dad and his family for from the manager and staff was outstanding.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has early onset Alzheimers and was cared for at home for 10 years before her needs became too hard to sustain and 24hour care was needed.
The home was perfect for her, everything on 1 floor, spacious so she can walk about as she pleases, secure so she can't leave alone. Hairdressers within the
home and a large day centre with daily activities, singers, bingo, exercises etc. She settled no problem and the staff are wonderful.

My family and I are very pleased with Daisy Nook looking after Mum, especially after a disappointment with other homes we used.


We feel very confident that she is in the best place to suit her needs.

Mum was admitted in June 2018. A new experience for her and the family. Mum is 91 years old and suffers from dementia.
She settled down quickly. The staff are helpful, courteous, understanding, respectful and professional in my experience.
Mum is well fed, clean (personally and her room), if she requires
changing during the day, this is done immediately.
The staff are approachable and care about the residents' welfare.
Mum is safe, which is very important to us.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over the past 12 months of visiting a friend in Daisy Nook House, I have witnessed how pleasant it is. As well as visiting I go in to play bingo and help residents who aren't able to play by themselves.
The care home also has days when you can play tombola, raffles etc.
On occasions, some residents
who are able to are taken out to lunch.
The staff are pleasant and caring also.

Review from Sue N (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been resident in Daisy Nook House for little over a year. The care, compassion and patience shown to my father is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for his carers who take the time to not just care for him but to chat with him and ask about his life. Whilst it is sad that he
is in poor health and needs their care, I believe that they make his days brighter. The manager is a very outgoing person and greets all of the residents with a cheery "hello" and enquires how they are. The staff work as a team and ensure that my father is comfortable, that he is very well looked after and cared for. The staff are polite and courteous to myself when I visit and as my father has been there for a while we are on first name terms. The home is very relaxed and you feel comfortable when you are there, fresh flowers in the reception area smell beautiful as you enter and calming music is played too. I would not hesitate to recommend this home.
Thank you everybody for looking after my dad in the way that you do.

A great place where my great uncle enjoyed his break away from his own home. Daisy Nook House is warm and welcoming! Staff are hardworking but also give time to visitors and residents.
We can't thank them enough and we shall be using this fantastic service again and again.
My great uncle loves the
gardens and the bed that they provided. A happy uncle is a happy family.

I feel very happy that my mum is cared for here to such a high standard. My mum is settled and happy as a result of this. She has really come out of her shell and got so much more confidence that she's ever had. The credit can only go to the people looking after mum, if they weren't doing a good job
she wouldn't be so happy. Thank you Daisy Nook House! xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad is currently a resident at Daisy Nook. We visit regularly and on each visit the first thing that stands out is the tidiness and clean smells. His room is personal and comfortable with everything that he needs. Staff are very caring and take the time to get to know residents and their relatives,
it is good to see the same faces each time we visit. The food always looks and smells nice and varies regularly. There's lots of information around the care home for residents and guests, with many activities to encourage socialising that includes families and relatives too.

The manager at Daisy Nook House turned this home around many years ago bringing up to the standard it is today.
They have a waiting list for this home and I think this speaks volumes. Nothing is too much trouble.
All the staff are very helpful, they are happy people which says a lot about the management.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Daisy Nook House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.975 for Daisy Nook House is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.975
  2. 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 Daisy Nook House is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
