My mother stayed for 10 days respite care after being released from hospital. She received excellent care. Her room was very comfortable overlooking the gardens. There were always plenty of staff on duty to care for both her personal + medical needs

My mum became a resident in July last year. We were apprehensive at first, but my mum settled so quickly, the front of house/manager were so helpful and kind to us. The nurses and carers in the dementia section were/are amazing. I'm not allowed to name names, unfortunately, but we were so happy with the staff showing Mum kindness and dignity.
My mum went into this home as we were at crisis point in November 2025, initially as respite but now long term. Fantastic manager, caring staff and plenty of them. We looked at lots of homes and this one by far was the most homely. I feel confident my mum is well cared for.

My mum was discharged to Derham House from Hospital. She had 2 hospital admissions in 7 weeks from suffering TIA's & was unable to safely return home alone. It was a traumatic time for all of us as so much changed in a short period of time. My anxiety about her going into a full time care home was...
I really feel that each & every member of staff have taken the time to get to know mum & they have made her feel safe & welcome. She has settled so well & has said that she wants to stay there. It's a wonderful feeling to see her so happy. The home is spotlessly clean & extremely well run. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends & family.
The care staff were great and ensured Mum met her neighbours, even though she didn't leave her...
Attentive staff, separate dementia and nursing wings, well maintained throughout, good food, green views and being on one level.

My Dad has been in care at Derham House since April 2025. Last night he was suspected to have had a TIA, the home arranged for a paramedic to examine him and they decided to take him to Hospital for a check over. The night staff phoned me and kept me up to date with what was happening. He was...

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...

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!
The love and...
The love and care for Dad in his last hours were amazing. Thank you.
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...

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.
What a beautiful home this is. Was very anxious and apprehensive but was pleasantly surprised. Such a homely feel, rooms and decor are welcoming and modern, staff of all levels are friendly and helpful, like on big family. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

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.

I became a Carer because there is nothing more rewarding than making a positive impact on someone's life and improving their happiness. Since working at Derham House, I have enjoyed being part of this great team and getting to know the residents. I love putting a smile on their faces each day.
