My dad became a full time resident at Derham House in May. A very difficult time for our family but from day one the staff at Derham made us very welcome & supported my mum every day & still do! My dad has settled very well & all the carers are very patient & friendly towards him. The entertainment
team are fantastic regularly organising activities for all the residents to enjoy. My dad gets taken out to a local dancing event where my mum can join him & enjoy making special memories.

Review from James B (Son of Resident) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to Derham House after a stroke last year. As his sole carer, I was anxious, but the staff quickly put me at ease. They treated him with real dignity, kindness and patience, and got to know him as an individual. He regularly told me he felt safe and well looked after, and it was clear
he was genuinely happy there.
The home was always clean and calm, with lovely outdoor space and thoughtful activities to keep residents engaged. As Dad's health declined, the palliative care he received was exceptional. Staff were attentive, gentle and supportive to him and to us as a family, especially in the final days.
I'm truly grateful to everyone at Derham House for the incredible care they provided my dad and the support they offered me throughout.
Reply from Sharon Osborne, General Manager at Barchester Derham House Care Home

My Nan had to move into full time care approximately 4/5 weeks ago. The staff at Derham House are really welcoming and super friendly and the home itself is kept clean and tidy.

My mum came to Derham House on respite straight from a 5 week stay in hospital. She arrived on the Monday and by the Tuesday evening, she told us she wanted to stay. Everyone was helpful, happy and made her feel that she had been living there for a long time. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Everyone
is friendly and cares.

My husband was in Derham House for respite care. As his main carer, I was extremely pleased with the care and attention he received from all the staff. I would not hesitate to book him for a further period of respite care. The atmosphere of the entire building is warm and welcoming. All staff go out
of their way to be helpful. His nurse care was as good as I could expect, with attention to keep his skin in a good condition as he has had bed sores in the past. I am sure he would not give such a glowing report as it is not home and he missed my cooking!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly, our father passed in November 2024. Prior to this date, he stayed in the dementia unit of Barchester Derham House Care Home for almost three years. I really cannot rate this care home highly enough. From the minute Dad stepped onto the unit, he was treated with kindness, respect and dignity.
They kept him safe through COVID and beyond.
From the reception desk to the staff on the unit, Dad was fondly regarded and when it came time for him to leave us they didn't miss a beat. I was kept constantly updated of his condition and his passing and the processes required from that point onwards were dealt with kindly and with great sensitivity. The daily activities suited our dad so well as he was such an animal lover and also loved to sing out loud - every day!
We will miss visiting him at Derham, these last years have been such a pleasure; we feel very blessed to have had this experience and could not be more grateful.

Review from G G (Son of Resident) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My father came to Derham House for a 4 week respite stay and became a permanent resident at the end of that as the family thought he was in the right place and was being cared for extremely well, which he was - all the staff were caring, considerate and friendly.
Unfortunately, my father passed away
just a few weeks later.
We were paid up until the end of the month and we cleared his room on the day of his passing, which left 5 days of his paid for contract left.
We have now received the 2 weeks deposit refunded, but Barchester/Derham House have deducted 2 days fee (£534) as their contract says you have 7 days to clear all possessions (and will charge even more if it goes beyond those 7 days).
As we cleared his room on day 1, we feel that 5 days fee is more than enough to cover their 'costs'.
We as a family feel that this care home company only 'care' about their bottom line and not the residents or their families.
This has left a very bitter taste in our mouths.

My father is currently in Barchester Derham House Care Home for respite care following issues with his right leg as he's unable to take care of himself and the situation was impossible for him to remain at home.
The manager and receptionist have gone over and above to help both my father and myself
for which I am very grateful. Nothing is too much trouble.

My Mum has recently joined the residents at Derham House and the staff have gone to great lengths to ensure she has settled in well. She appears very happy when I visit and has engaged in a variety of activities including a D-Day afternoon tea, a visit to the local garden centre, a visiting entertainer,
and a visiting pet. She enjoys chatting with other residents and speaks enthusiastically about the care she is given. When I visit I always feel very welcome and am told I can drop in at any time. Mealtimes are lovely and the food is of high quality. Residents sit on tables of four with plenty of interaction over the dinner table! My mum always looks well-presented and tidy and the daily routines in place are having a positive impact on her well-being.
I am extremely grateful to all staff for their kindness and care over the past few weeks.

My dad stayed for two weeks of respite care and although we were anxious as it was his first time we need not have worried. The staff were lovely and kept us fully informed even giving him a packed lunch when he attended hospital in case he missed lunch. The food was excellent, just like a hotel with
white cloths on the table. There was always a staff member in the lounge and plenty of activities going on. Christmas entertainment was put on and there were several craft activities going on. My dad was allowed to be as independent as he wanted to be and encouraged to join in. The home had a lovely atmosphere and the other residents were friendly and welcoming to my dad. We were very happy with the whole experience. Many thanks to the staff.

My mum went to Barchester Derham House Care Home for respite care. First impressions were very good, staff were friendly and seemed caring.
I informed management and nursing staff that my mum would be going to a flat to live by herself so I wanted them to keep her mobile. Unfortunately, this didn't
happen and she's much worse than when first arrived. I know they can't force people to do what they don't want to but there are ways of persuading people, I have been a carer so I know. Food wasn't as good as I thought it would be either.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Barchester Derham House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.731 for Barchester Derham House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.731
  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 Barchester Derham House Care Home is based on 17 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 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
    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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 17 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.
