Darnall View

My mom-in-law has lived here for almost 4 years now and has been very well looked after by dedicated staff. In this time and I cannot say any other, everything is 100% for her or my husband and I would not let her live there and we are highly satisfied with the home.

My mum has been in Darnall View for a couple of months now. The staff here are excellent, showing all residents care, love and lots of interaction. The home is very clean and homely and the food is home cooked. Mum has settled really well and it's nice to know that she's been looked after so well. In my opinion, the staff at Darnall View go above and beyond to make sure all their residents are happy and well looked after.

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.

I have always found the staff very helpful and caring. The home itself is always clean and fresh.

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.

I have only good things to say about her care. My mother seems to enjoy herself as much as anyone can with dementia.

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.
