I do not have a bad word to say about this home. The staff are all amazing, always smiling, attentive and really do ensure the residents are happy. The cleanliness is excellent, as are the facilities. From what I have witnessed, residents are treated with dignity and I couldn't ask any more from a home.

My mum moved into Dearnlea in February 2026. She has settled very well due to the care and attention given to her by all the staff. I am very happy with how my mum has improved since making that very tough decision and placing her in the care of Dearnlea Nursing Home. The staff go above and beyond in
the care given and also in reassuring the family members and informing us of any changes in my mum, I couldn't be happier in the care received.

I cannot fault at all this care home. My mum has been in about 3 months and the care for her with having dementia is really good the patience the staff have. Staff really bond with all of them. Mam was so tired after her party, went to bed at 7 o'clock, but they were checking on her all the time. Cleanliness
is really well not only in rooms but overall in the home. Well impressed.

The staff are very friendly and helpful at all times even when they are busy. The staff have gotten to know my mum and remember her name as soon as she walks in for respite care. The care home always feels warm and welcoming at all times.


The manager and receptionist have been especially accommodating

with my alterations to pre booked respite care holiday dates. Which I am very grateful for as it as allowed me to make the most of my respite care given to me for my mum.

Review from Kim H (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When Mum first arrived at Dearnlea in Feb 26 she had experienced multiple hospital admissions since Christmas. She has Alzheimer's so they had interfered with her routine, creating confusion and distress for her. Vicki and her staff took time to show me around and talk to me about what they could provide
and how they'd cater for Mum's dementia needs as it progresses. The staff were welcoming, caring, knowledgeable and interacting with the residents. Mum was given a detailed care plan, which I was able to add to. The home is clean and nicely decorated. It took Mum a couple of weeks for her to get her bearings but I have been impressed with how bright she has been when talking to her on the phone. She tells me she likes the food, enjoys the activities and joins in with everything that is going on. I can see this for myself on the social media page and see photos of her. She told me yesterday that it's the best move she's ever made. I'm happy that Mum's happy and thriving.

Dearnelea Care Home provides a genuinely warm, compassionate, and friendly environment. From the outset, staff create a welcoming atmosphere that puts both residents and families at ease. Their approach to care is clearly person-centred-taking time to understand individuals, showing patience, dignity,
and respect in every interaction.


The home fosters a strong sense of community, encouraging residents to feel valued, engaged, and as independent as possible. Staff are approachable, supportive, and consistently professional, creating a reassuring and positive environment.


Communication is open and responsive, with the team willing to listen and adapt to individual needs. Overall, Dearnelea offers not just care, but real peace of mind-delivering a standard of support that families can trust

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident coming up 12 months now and the level of care she has been given has been nothing short of exceptional.


The residence is very clean and has a great atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, kept very neat and tidy and laundry handled very well. The quality of food is excellent. No

shortcuts; branded food items and Mum's diabetic diet catered for very well. The level of entertainment provided is great and very engaging for the residents. From singing along with the resident singer to hitting a few pads in their boxing gloves with the fitness team, everyone is kept involved and interested due to the vast array of entertainment available.


Most importantly, the manager's door is always open to answer any questions and the carers sincerely have hearts of gold. You can rest assured knowing your loved ones are protected and cared for in a thoughtful and respectful manner. Overall Dearnlea feels more like a family environment than just a residence. I'd highly recommend.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Dearnlea Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.835 for Dearnlea Park is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.835
  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 Dearnlea Park 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:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
