The 25th Anniversary party was a great success, we all had a fantastic time!
Since my mother arrived here in July her care has been excellent. Very kind, caring and treated with dignity.

We are thoroughly satisfied with the care and compassion shown to my mother. The staff are excellent and support us (the family) through difficult times. We are so grateful to have found Derham House and know that mum is now safe and well cared for.

He's been treated with such dignity, care and attention that after the first day, his whole appearance changed where he was so relaxed and at ease.
The home has an open door policy and you can visit whenever you like. The staff are very friendly, caring and have always got time for not only the residents but also the families.
Can't fault the quality of care they give the residents. Genuine commitment to give good care.
Would be nice to give praise to some members of staff but can't single out anyone as all the staff are fantastic.
It's a pleasure to write this review.

I was pleased to have my faith in human nature restored however by my experiences at Derham House.
From the manager down, all the staff I encountered were motivated and efficient with endless patience and compassion.
They were all friendly and I could always approach the management, nurses and carers on any topic and they would provide cordial advice and help.
In a nutshell, all the staff work as a team and I would be happy to recommend this home to anybody looking for residential care.

The manager is excellent, an open door policy, things are acted on and with the resident's interests at heart!
I couldn't wish for my mum to be better cared for, which to me, is all a daughter could wish for!
Within weeks of Mother-in-law becoming a resident, she was verbally abused by a senior staff member. Left in bed all day because they are short staffed. The place has had 2 managers since then. Cannot keep staff. Owners do not care about residents it's all about the money.

We at Derham House are very sad to see that you are unhappy with the care that your mother-in-law has received. I, as the new manager, would like to invite you to come to the home and meet with me and discuss the above-mentioned issues, as we have been caring for your mother-in-law for 16 months now, and she herself appears to be very happy living at Derham House.
The care my mum has received here for nearly four years has been absolutely fantastic. I visit every day at various times and have only ever seen loving care and concern from all the staff. My mother in law lived here for almost five years and there was no question of my mum going anywhere...
All of them - manager, nurses, carers, cleaners, caterers etc. are a credit to their professions and I can't speak highly enough of all of them.
They're stars!

My paternal Grandmother was also here for 5 years and we couldn't fault any aspect of her care. All the staff are genuine and approachable and we are grateful that they have always worked with us to ensure the best for my Grandma. There is nowhere that compares to Derham House in the area, this is the best.
My experience has been good compared to another home I stayed in.

Since my aunt has moved into Derham House I have found she is always happy, she enjoys her meals and always appears clean and tidy. There is regular entertainment which she thoroughly enjoys and other things to do. I have found that due to this activity she seems to want to communicate more and has more stimulation.
2 years ago I left a glowing report on this site for this home. Sadly, after some major staff changes things have gone downhill. Mum needed a daily battery change for her cochlear implant. When it wasn't working she was in a "black hole" of silence, which added to her confusion and depression. We...
Our many efforts to get staff to address this problem didn't work, they wouldn't even keep a record to show that it was done. The really good activities lady became long term sick, and wasn't replaced for about 6 months. The chart in the hallway showing the daily activities became a joke, showing activities that were not actually happening. The changes must be sad for the many good staff we met during Mum's stay, because things just don't seem the same anymore, and the once happy atmosphere, can feel tense.

Hi, my name is Idris, and I am one of the Carers here at Derham House.
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.
My family is very important to me, and I want the families of each resident to know that I am caring for their loved one in the way that I would want my family cared for.
