Everyone in Dormy House is always so welcoming and friendly from the moment you enter the home. The care and support she has received has been excellent. She has always been treated with dignity and respect. Any questions or queries we had have always been taken on board and answered. The staff have

The staff work hard to ensure person centred care. The management listen to any concerns that come up and are open to exploring strategies to continually improve upon their service.

I have just experienced the worst recent safeguarding's and following this, managerial decisions for my father, he has been treated with no care for his well-being, I am beyond shocked.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
the outstanding feature of Dormy house is the quality and dedication of the staff and management. It is a demanding and sometimes difficult job the staff are faced with but they soldier on with patience and quiet confidence.
My sister receives exceptional care and we are very pleased with her physical
progress at the home
The facilities are excellent and comprehensive.
Cleanliness is always going to be a challenge for some and there is a wide variety of needs required for such a diverse collection of guests but a challenge the staff seem more than able to cope with.
A special highlight for me is the quality, variety and availability of food at the home

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.494)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.494) out of 10 for Dormy House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.494 for Dormy House is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (132 Goods x 4) + (32 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (20 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 569 Ratings = 4.494
  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 Dormy House is based on 45 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 45 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.

Carmela Magbitang

Job Title: Home Manager

Originally from the Philippines, I am a nurse by profession, and I’ve been working in the care sector for about 15 years since I moved to the UK. I continually try to enhance my knowledge and skills as a nurse.


As a Home Manager, it gives me an opportunity to make a difference across the wider community. I was part of an NHS pilot project designed to reduce hospital admissions, not just in residential care but for any elderly person at home. It was a fascinating project, and I am proud to have been at the forefront of this initiative.


My daily responsibilities encompass ensuring excellent care delivery by my team, prioritising resident safety, and maintaining regulatory compliance. However, what truly resonates with me is the personal connection I foster with the residents. I prioritise spending meaningful time with them, integrating myself as a familiar presence rather than just an authority figure, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I sit next to them and find the time to check the whole home’s environment and work closely with my wonderful team here at Dormy. For me, caregiving is a heartfelt commitment to providing the level of care I would want for my own family.


Drawing from my upbringing in the Philippines, where intergenerational living is customary, I approach each resident as a cherished member of my own family, overseeing every aspect of their care with meticulous attention.


It is my aim at Dormy to create a joyful experience and happy environment for the residents and ensure the whole community is harmonious and happy. I will use my skills to create a culture where there is a happy, motivated, working environment for all.


Outside of work, I am immensely proud of my two grown-up daughters who have both been to university, one is a lawyer, and the other is a nurse. We enjoy family time and I like to keep fit and healthy and place an emphasis on self-care and wellbeing. This enables me to positively impact those around me.


I live in Reading, Berkshire, and after a short commute, I find solace in the tranquil surroundings of Dormy House, nestled amidst a picturesque golf course. I invite visitors to experience firsthand the exceptional care and unparalleled amenities we offer.
