My mum lived at Darnall View for four years before her passing in September 2018.
She was cared for exceptionally well, in my view, the carers treat the residents as they would do for their own relatives. Many of the carers have worked there for years (up to 20), ensuring consistency and quality of
care.
The home is very clean and comfortable and is organised in such a way that no resident is left outside of the sociable, communal areas unless they ask for some quiet time. The residents are regularly chatted to by the carers rather than being left to be lonely.
I believe most of the rooms have en-suite toilets which in my opinion is important for dignity.
The food is home cooked and superb, I can testify to this having eaten there when visiting.
The activities are varied and appropriate. My mum loved the interaction and sense of community.
If I ever end up in a care home I just pray it is as good as Darnall View.

My Husband has settled well at Darnall View and has no complaints. He doesn't relate to anything with his Alzheimer's but is looked after very well and always looks clean and tidy. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, I am sure they must have some awkward times but never complain. I and my family
visit often and always find him looking well although he doesn't know us.

My Husband and I visit once per week, weekdays due to shift working patterns. We have met most of the staff and have found them all to be friendly. We have witnessed the games etc which residents are encouraged t take part. All in all everyone seems to be satisfied. The outings are an added bonus for
all who take part.

My brother seems to be happy and content in his new home. It's over one year now since my brother went into Darnell View, straight from the hospital. We are always greeted cordially and are made aware of any changes to his health etc. There are activities that he (and us) sometimes participate in and
mostly enjoy. Its important to us to know he's well looked after especially as his health diets and his dementia worsens.

Excellent facility and facilities. Clean, warm welcome, happy, caring staff on all levels from management to staff. Fantastic home cooked meals, we have "stayed for lunch." Lovely homely feel throughout the home, private room "bedroom" for all residents. Very accommodating to visitors always asking
if we would like tea/coffee. My mum has never looked so well or so happy. Must add, it does not smell, as other care homes do of urine and cabbage. Would definitely recommend and I have.

A friendly and welcoming care home which my mother has taken to really well. I'm always made to feel welcome and any concerns are dealt with promptly. To be honest, Darnall View has probably prolonged her life.
I have only good things to say about her care. My mother seems to enjoy herself as much
as anyone can with dementia.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My sister has has been in the residence for two years and as I live in Canada I only see her for limited times. However, after my first visit I was very reassured that she is in a loving, caring environment. The staff are compassionate and empathetic to her needs and limitations. The food is very
well cooked and presented. My sister's clothing is always clean and if it gets stained after a meal the item is replaced. Her personal hygiene needs are met and her hair is always clean and well trimmed.


Staff are always speaking with the resident even if they received very little response. However, on occasions there is a reaction.


As I live so far away I occasionally telephone to see how my sister is doing. I always feel welcome by staff when I do this and I am given time to get a good update on her condition.


I am very pleased that my sister is in such a caring home and with people who treat her so well and with dignity. The staff are definitely "special" people.

My mum loves everything about Darnall View, and so do I. The staff are always happy and attentive to the residents every time I've been there. It's like a small family and always make our family feel welcome. The rooms are perfectly sized bright clean and ensuite. I feel content that my mum is safe
and well cared for. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone. Their attention to detail is a nice quality that some care homes don't have. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for Darnall View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.577 for Darnall View is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.577

  • 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 Darnall View is based on 11 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 11 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.

I have been working down at Darnall View for nearly 10 years now, I absolutely love my job and could not imagine working at any other care home. I think I speak for all staff at Darnall View by saying that I am probably the loudest carer here! You can hear me before you can actually see me and can probably hear me singing all the way up on the second floor of the home!
