Review from Jackie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother moved to Bankwood from hospital as it was no longer possible for her to live independently.
The home is spotlessly clean and bright and cheerful.
The staff are so supportive and friendly, genuinely caring.
They helped my mum settle in and were really compassionate with our situation.
My mother passed away after a couple of weeks.
Again the staff were amazingly supportive.

Couldn't fault them at all. Would recommend.

Review from Roberta R (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bankwood offered a nursing place for my Father, after he unfortunately could not return home from hospital due to his complex medical needs. Sadly he passed away after a few weeks.
Whilst Dad was in the home he received excellent nursing care and the nursing team regularly updated us on his care.
Even though bed bound he was made comfortable and good care was carried out daily and all his needs met. The staff were so kind and compassionate and always took the time to speak to us and get to know us all and offer us a drink. Unfortunately Dad couldn't take advantage of all of the activities or facilities in the home and look at the beautiful views but his room was cosy and clean.
It really is an excellent home.

Thank you Bankwood.

Review from Lucy W (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We chose to bring my dad here for end of life care. Prior to choosing this place, my mum and I dropped in unannounced on a Sunday. They were absolutely wonderful and although we had other care homes to look at, we instantly knew we had found the best place for Dad. He sadly passed away after a short time, but we couldn't have asked for a better nursing home. The staff are so, so kind, and they couldn't do enough for us. My mum, sister, brother and I were there a lot for Dad's last few days and the staff were so supportive and thoughtful. We simply could not recommend this place enough. It is also in a lovely setting and it's a shame Dad was too ill to see the beautiful views. All the staff are brilliant and we will be forever thankful for their kindness and the way they went above and beyond. I don't know how they do the job they do. They are all very special people and we are very grateful to them for looking after Dad with such care and compassion. Exceptional care home.

Overall Experience

From the day our mum moved into Bankwood to the day she passed, our mother was treated and cared for with the utmost respect, care and dignity. The cleanliness and family atmosphere is amazing and attention to detail is first class. Despite her at times challenging behaviour, the staff were always dedicated, cared and supported us throughout some difficult situations which were always handled with professionalism and kindness. We were always welcomed with a cheery smile and were made to feel welcome. Thank you to everyone at Bankwood for everything, it means the world to us.

Bankwood care home looked after my mother. I would recomend this care home to anyone. The staff are atentive with all the residents. My mother was very pleased with her care. The home is clean, tidy and smells clean, with no unwanted smells. Mum enjoyed all her meals with drinks whenever she required them.

The rooms are delightful throughout the home.

Review from Tamasin H (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mum was admitted for end of life care following a fall and long stay in hospital. The whole experience at the care home was first rate - from them agreeing to admit mum on Christmas Day to her final hours. The staff were friendly, happy and caring and every need was attended to swiftly and professionally.

We could not have wished for a more peaceful and dignified end for mum.

Overall Experience

Bankwood Care Home have been magnificent during my Mum's last few months with us. She has been so well looked after. The staff are all friendly, courteous, helpful, kind and compassionate. I have also been looked after by them, during Mum's final days and subsequently. I could not have asked for better care for Mum (who had late stage Parkinson's). A wonderful place, with a wonderful view, and with wonderful people at the heart of it.

Thank you, just thank you to everyone who works at bankwood. These guys truly do their job everyday for the love of providing care, safety and love to the residents. My mum felt safe, secure and loved for her last couple of weeks of life. We as a family, visiting everyday at all times of day and night, were cared for, valued and listened to when we were trying to find our way through loosing our mum/nana/sister and great nana. Thank you guys xx

Review from Mili C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We will be forever grateful for the experience our mum/nana/great nana/sister (Liz) had during her final weeks of life. The staff at this beautiful home made the whole transition effortless and cared for us as a family just as well as they did for Nana. The care she received was nothing short of amazing, she was genuinely happy there and felt safe and looked after. Every single staff member from the nurses and care assistants, to the kitchen and laundry staff are angels. The genuine care and compassion they show whilst doing the toughest job is admirable. They gave Nana respect, dignity, autonomy, undivided time and a friendly smile at all times until she left their care. No amount of thanks will ever be enough for these amazing people.

Overall Experience
I don't know where to begin, but if your loved one needs care. Look no further than Bankwood, Duffield.
The care and support for our mum and ourselves have been nothing short of outstanding. We couldn't have had or wished for better care. Our mum was so happy there, we were cared for like a part of their extended family.

Bankwood will always have a special place in my heart and words cannot convey exactly how much I thank them for the difference they made every single day.

Review from Emma G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum came to bankwood for end of life care from hospital. I have never known such care and empathy not only towards my mum, but us as family were treated with. Every staff member from management, nurses, carers, kitchen staff were the kindest, professional, reassuring of people. My mum was treated with love, respect, good humour and made to feel at home and heard from the moment she arrived. We will never be able to communicate effectively enough how much your home and staff have meant to us and my mum who told us herself 'I love it here'. Thank you x

Review from Paul A (Son of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bankwood is an excellent care home. The staff are very good.very caring, very friendly and treat everyone with respect, both residents and their family members.
My mothers room has exceptional views and the room has good facilities.Mum feels very safe and content, both important factors for any resident.
It has hairdressing facilities, something Mum looks forward to using every week.
Mum would like a little more variety in the activities offered by the home. That said the present activities are performed very well and carried out with professionalism and care, and I know that further opportunities are always considered in the regularly held residents meeting.
The home also arranges for regular entertainment to come in and perform. This again is very welcomed and much enjoyed.

As I said at the beginning Bankwood is an excellent care home excellently managed by Izzy. It has an a exceptional nursing team with wonderful caring staff.

Overall Experience

Mum was transferred to Bankwood after a lengthy stay in hospital and her life has changed considerably. It has been a difficult adjustment for her, but the staff have been amazing. They are kind and helpful and have taken time to get to know mum. Mum is still settling in and the wonderful views from the conservatory have helped her do this. The staff at Bankwood have also made the family feel very welcome when visiting. Thank you.
