Deerlands is an accessible, single-story building with no stairs, lifts, or barriers. It’s bright, open, and has easy access to outdoor spaces. It's located in a friendly community, with many of the staff living nearby and walking to work. The home is close to the working men’s club, local shops, and has good transport links, making it easy for residents and their families to enjoy the area. Residents appreciate the location and the great value Deerlands offers.
The staff are welcoming, experienced, and very committed. They carefully select kind and caring people to join the team, who also know the local area well.
They have a day centre and a minibus to take residents on outings and involve them in activities. One resident loves joining the team on trips to pick people up. They go shopping to places like Boundary Mills, visit The Deep aquarium, and even run simple errands like going to Asda. They also enjoy outings to country pubs and take part in local events like the Parsons Cross Forum, which supports dementia care. They can also use the Colley Club for large events and parties.
Two activity coordinators keep residents engaged with a variety of activities, from one-on-one nail care to arts and crafts, chair exercises, pony and dog therapy, and visits from small animals. They also have regular singers, entertainers, and magicians.
The food at Deerlands is homemade and delicious. The cooks talk to residents about what they like and make traditional favourites like stews, chicken pot pies, and baked treats. They also serve curries and spicy meals. The smell of food cooking always fills the home, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The staff love working here. One person came to Deerlands as a short-term job but has been there for ten years, and staff say it’s a great company and a lovely place to work.

Thank you so much for your kind words about Deerlands Residential Home!
Since my wife became a resident of the care home, she has been settled and seems happy with herself, especially knowing what health problems she has. She gets round-the-clock attention which is great, the care staff are really good and helpful. I'm happy with the situation.

This care home is excellent, my mum is a resident. They are so caring and well looked after, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I'm always talking about how excellent they all are, thank you Deerlands.

My mum has been visiting the day centre twice a week for the last few weeks. Initially, she was reluctant to go but with the team, (one carer in particular) coming and getting her to go, she has really enjoyed it. She recently had a fall and fractured her arm, I notified a member of staff at the...

Mum has been a resident of Deerlands, for a year now. The staff are very caring and very welcoming to family and visitors. On 12th December 2022, we were invited to have a Christmas lunch with Mum. One staff member in particular and the carers involved, made it a most enjoyable event. The chef made an excellent dinner and his yorkshire puddings were made, not bought and would be welcome in any top restaurant. Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Deerlands residential home, we're so glad that you enjoyed your Christmas lunch.

My mom went to Deerlands in July 2021. We have always been made welcome and kept updated when things are happening at the home. Mom is very well cared for and she has been on lots of outings. The home is kept very clean. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. They always encourage residents and families to get involved with activities. They don't get the recognition they deserve. We are very happy with the care our mom is getting.
Thank you so much for your kind words - I will pass this along to the team. Kind regards, Amelia.

I have been a regular volunteer for some time at Deerlands, where I participate in activities with the residents. The staff there are lovely and welcoming, always attentive to the residents. Since starting volunteering, the activity leader has made me feel really welcome and I have participated in day trips and arts and crafts etc. During my time volunteering, it's been lovely to get to know the residents and enjoy their company.
Thank you so much for your kind words - I will pass this along to the team. Kind regards, Amelia.
My gran moved to Deerlands early this year and the home has been great with her. They do events, take residents out for the day and offer in-home services like having their nails painted and the usual hair, pedicure etc.

We are a large family and one of us is usually there every day to see her. The staff are always friendly and helpful, more than happy to answer our many questions.
Mum is always engaging with someone when we visit, either staff or other residents. She often is involved in activities and especially enjoys the chair aerobics (not bad for a 90-year-old).
The place is spotless and Mum absolutely loves the food and always has a hot meal. We take her out regularly and she is always keen to get back in time for dinner! Although it's not the most modern facility, the first-class care more than makes up for this.
Well done to all the team for their hard work and dedicated care of all the residents.

My mum went in for respite and is now in full-time care. She has settled in so well. Staff are so friendly and still find time to talk. We are always made to feel so welcome. Could not have asked for anywhere better.

I was a volunteer at Deerlands care home and helped the activity coordinator out with her role, we celebrated many events with the residents such as Christmas, Easter etc. I was made to feel like I was part of a team and I really enjoyed spending time with the lovely staff members and the residents. I have occasionally brought my little girl into the home as I feel like it is a nice, safe and loving environment.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate it and we will share it with the team at Deerlands.

Mum stayed in this home, her room was cold the radiator did not work for 3 weeks eventually moved to another room. It was not clean, your feet stuck to the carpet I was told the carpet would be changed it never was, tv got broke not a problem, it was let on the side, the stand had sharp edges, I was told they had ordered a new stand, they just fob you off. Her room was not clean her clothes where ruined and dirty looking when they came back from the laundry, the home was decorated apart from the corridor. Mum stayed because they have Alzheimer's, they don't matter sometimes there were no staff about, the smell on the corridor was overpowering most of the time when she left we were given another patient drug charts. I have photo proof if the drugs had been given to my mum she would have been very ill or worst could have died. When I told the staff I was fobbed off again like it was no big deal some of the staff were really lovely, some it was just a paycheck at the end of the month.
I’m sorry to hear this, if you would like to discuss this further please don’t hesitate to call me on 0114 2808888 or email me at enquiries@sheffcare.co.uk. Kind regards

We started to visit a resident in Dec 2014. We have continued to visit 2/3 days a week for the next 12 months, during this period we have always found the care and hygiene to be of very high standard. Food and food presentation is excellent. Management and staff excellent. During visiting we always speak to as many residents as possible, they are all very content and not a single complaint. We would recommend Deerlands to anyone.
Although my mum is extremely challenging the care she receives is always kind and caring. The home has plenty of outings which she always enjoys. If we have any concerns about mum the staff are always helpful. I could not wish for a better place for my 95 year old mum. We can go home knowing that...

Thank you for your comments I will ensure these are passed on to the staff team
