Daneside Mews Care Home

Once again I can't praise the carers enough for their kindness and care shown to my Mum and us as family and visitors. It has been a lovely few days with the Christmas bingo, party and entertainment and today's 3 course Christmas dinner which my Dad enjoyed as much as Mum. It is absolutely commendable and comforting to know that my parents are not apart at times like this, he is welcomed every day and treated with kindness as we all are. It is reassuring to know that we can visit day or night and Mum is clean, well fed and happy whenever we call. Thank you so much to both carers and staff for all your hard work and kindness shown to everyone at Daneside Mews.

My mother has been a resident of Daneside Mews for over 20 months as she has had dementia for about 7yrs and we tried to care for her at home and to be honest did not want to put her in a care home.

Our fears were unfounded as the care she receives is superb, she is treated with dignity and respect, shown love and affection by all the staff. She is well fed and is in a very safe environment. They have regular coffee mornings and entertainment, which residents families are invited to attend. The bedroom is of a good size and is comfortable, clean and warm. Since being at the care home she has been happy and her health has improved as previously she suffered from asthma quite severely. If there is any hint of her not being well the doctor is called to check her over.

The care and love that is given here to the residents by staff and management, in my mind and experience, is first class. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone who is looking for a care home in this area.

A very sincere 'thank you' to all members of staff for the care, support and dignity you all give to my very dear husband. I could not do this without you all. I do not feel like an outsider when I visit my husband, but part of a small and very loving, caring family that he now belongs to, as well as myself. Thank you all again.

The home is well decorated and light and kept very clean. Some meals are not appropriate for the resident to manage unaided. We are pleased that the new manager is making improvements and cares.

I am happy with all aspects of the home and know my sister is being looked after, so thank you to all concerned. As we live away in Cumbria, it is peace of mind.

If anything sometimes it would help if more staff were available.

My mum suffered Alzheimers and was brilliantly looked after in Daneside Mews from July 2016 until she died at the age of 98 in February this year. During the whole time she was there, she was treated with the utmost patience, respect, dignity and gentle care and was loved by all. The staff were amazing - so friendly, helpful, attentive and smiley and knew each individual's character so well. Their caring attitude had a very calming influence on both residents and family members and we were so grateful for this as it's such a cruel disease that causes great stress in both sufferer and families.

I would highly recommend Daneside Mews to anyone, no question.

A huge "thank you" to Daneside staff.

Mum was a resident from July 2016 until she passed away in February 2017. From day one we knew we had made the right choice for both mum and us as a family. My mum had lived with me all my life so the decision to move her into a care home was very difficult but the staff made this decision much easier for us. As a family we have said many times 'it was the right time and the right place' for mum to move into a care home. She suffered from dementia and we realised that she needed more than we could give her at that stage. Throughout the time mum lived in Daneside Mews Care Home she was treated with respect and dignity but most importantly, love, by all the staff. We could not fault any of the staff or management. As mum became more poorly towards the end, we stayed overnight with her and the staff were brilliant, looking after my sister and I as well as mum.

Daneside has been undergoing refurbishment and the rooms which had been completed while we were visiting were beautifully done.

My step sister in law died 6th November 2016 and had been a resident from March 2016, she had dementia. During her time at the home, she was well cared for by all the staff. Even though she could be difficult to deal with, the staff ensured she was clean and fed. At first, she took part in the daily life and liked to walk the corridors with another resident but as death approached, this stopped. I would recommend anyone to consider Daneside Mews Care Home if they needed a home for a relative.

(My mother has dementia) This home is run efficiently and so well- the friendliest staff and with a happy atmosphere. The manager is super, all the girls (and some boys) who work there are always sunny and the receptionist is a welcoming reassuring presence. All in all a place where my mother feels safe and I feel happy to leave her there. Her room is of a good size and pleasantly decorated. The place feels secure and peaceful- my mother is well looked after and we are lucky she is there.

A caring well run care home with dedicated staff. Residents are treated with dignity and compassion. My husband was a resident for two weeks respite care. This was his third admission to Daneside Mews for short term respite care.

My mother has dementia and is 94 years old and lives with my father who is 97 years old. He is her carer and they have been married for 70 years! Mum had a fall on the 3 February which meant caring for her was more difficult for my dad. He became exhausted and asked me to find 2 weeks respite care. I rang around to nearby care homes and was glad that Daneside Mews would assess mum quickly. She was placed there within 3 days of my call - wonderful! They both want to be back together at their home, but this break has helped enormously.

My mum was a resident at Daneside Mews for 9 months. She suffered with dementia and also had a broken hip. The staff looked after my mum and gave family amazing support. The care home is well looked after which makes it easy to spend time there. The food was always of a good standard and the staff had great patience helping. My mum eats and drinks keeping her strength up. I would certainly recommend Daneside Mews for their exceptional care and support.

My mother arrived at Daneside Mews in December 2015, she was very agitated and distressed after a long care journey. The manager met us at the door and within minutes mum was calm and happy again. Since being here she has improved so much it is such a calm and caring home. Mum is well cared for and nothing is too much trouble. She celebrated her 90th birthday within the first 2 weeks of her stay and everyone made such a fuss of her it was wonderful. This care home is by far superior to other homes we looked at and the one she came from. The manager and staff are excellent. Well done Daneside Mews Care Home.
