Review from Emma C (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been cared for at Deerhurst for several years now. The support, love and care shown to her and her family is outstanding. All staff are very experienced, compassionate and understanding of the residents varied and often complicated needs.
The team go above and beyond to provide an exceptional
high level of physical and emotional care. The range of social activities is immense and planned with thought to address individuals interests.
As a nurse myself I have a working knowledge of nursing homes and this one out shines on every level.
It is more than a care home. It is a safe haven, an actual home rather than an institution.
It is so well managed and boosts a team to be proud of. I am so grateful my mum's care is entrusted to this fantastic team. Thank you.

Amazing care home, outstanding management and staff. Mum is treated with love, care and support whilst battling with last stage dementia, honestly felt like I had won the lottery when Mum was admitted to Deerhurst. Couldn't ask for a greater place to look after my wonderful Mum.

Review from J C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother has been a resident in DH for 4 years with vascular dementia. The staff are the most caring , empathetic & patient group of individuals who create a home from home environment with medical care & kindness interwoven. We couldn't have wished for a happier place for mum & she thrives on contact
& care , with an unrivalled array of trips, visits & unusual things to occupy her. Not one for beer, she took part in brewing a special beer, visiting the brewery & sampling the beer she helped to make & market! Fabulous experience. Charlie the donkey's visit was especially fun as it was our late father's name but she swears dad was more handsome!
Two medical incidents - one requiring surgery-were handled compassionately & sensitively & we always feel DH has her best interests at heart. Management there are visible & keep us up to date with all her adventures but also her day to day living. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A cruel disease sympathetically handled.
Reply from Lesley Hobbs, Home Manager at DeerhurstThank you so much for providing this review it's so heartwarming to know that we get it right & families are happy with the care we provide

Review from Jason L (Son of Resident) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father has been at Deerhurst since May 2022 having been diagnosed with mixed dementia ( Alzheimer's and Vascular)
The manager and staff were very interested in what my Dad likes/dislikes so that his early days were as seamless as they could be and he would settle into his new environment.
Since
then I can only describe Dads experience at Deerhurst as one of being comfortable and content.
All the staff are wonderful , caring, intuitive, led by management who are very visible and always available.
There are a huge and a wide variety of activities available, indoors outdoors and day trips so there is no time to be idle !
My overriding feeling when I enter the care home is one of a calm and relaxing environment that you are lucky to have your loved one in.
Reply from Lesley Hobbs, Home manager at DeerhurstThanks so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review - I think our success with dad has been finally getting him to join in & he seems to enjoy it all as well

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Deerhurst is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.924 for Deerhurst is calculated as follows: ( (485 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.924
  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 Deerhurst is based on 44 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
