My dad is currently residing in Blackwell care home and has been living there for several months now. The staff are excellent and couldn't do more for both the residents and the families. They are patient and kind even when my dad has bad days and support him to have an independent lifestyle. As family I feel comfortable and confident that my dad receives the best possible care and is constantly being involved in activities as they always things to do.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It truly means so much to us to know that you feel reassured and happy with the care your dad receives. We feel very lucky to care for him and are so grateful for the trust you place in us every day. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience; your lovely words really do mean the world to our team.
I can't thank the care home enough, from the transition from a previous home to this one. My husband has settled in very well and they can't do enough for him or for me. They are there for any questions, needs and put you at ease. There are plenty of actives and the staff are lovely.

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It means a great deal to us personally to know that your husband has settled in so well and that you feel supported and reassured. We know how important this transition is for you both, and we're truly grateful that you have placed your trust in us. It's a pleasure to have you both as part of our home, and your kind words really do mean the world to us.

My mother has been with Blackwell for over 4 years now, the care she has received, along with the attentiveness of the staff has been amazing. As expected, we were nervous about placing my mum in residential care, but the way Blackwell have looked after her very demanding care needs has really put our mind at ease. I receive phone calls if there are any concerns or if the team need to talk to me, and they are always on hand if I need to call - no waiting on hold or continual ringing to get through to speak to them. Recently the care home has had a bit of a freshen up, new carpets and a lick of paint. Removal of unnecessary clutter and it has really opened it up to be an inviting, clean space. It was perfectly good previously , but we have certainly noticed an upturn in the recent months. We have no problems with my mum being here, and feel lucky that she has the care she has.
Thank you for those kind words, we will continued to ensure we deliver high standard care in everything we do.

This is a wonderful home my mother has vascular dementia and over the last 17 months she has become more and more reliant on care. She has been in several homes but this is by far the best , it is clean, well staffed and her room is spacious and well equipped. The staff really care about the patients and especially my mum they keep us well informed as to her condition and go that extra mile we can't praise them enough. They have a full and varied activities callender and try to involve all the residents . It feels like a home and not an institution unlike so many others they are not monetary driven but really do care. My mum has been a resident since November 2024.
Thank you for those kind words, we will continue to give our very best to provide a high standard of care.
We are very happy with the care and support our mother receives. All the staff are very pleasant, helpfull and always have time for you and my mother. If we had a negative to say it would be over lost or missing clothing even when it is clearly marked up not just for mum but other residents (minor...
We are very happy with the care and support our mother receives. All the staff are very pleasant, helpfull and always have time for you and my mother. If we had a negative to say it would be over lost or missing clothing even when it is clearly marked up not just for mum but other residents (minor niggle). We would and always recommended the home to anyone looking for their loved ones. Thank you everyone.
Thank you for this feedback, we will make an effort to resolve any issue as they arise and will work on limiting these from happening again.
My mother was a respite resident for 5 weeks following a fall just before Christmas. From my first telephone conversation to the day she came home, I have found the care excellent at Blackwell. It would be unfair to single out any member of staff, as unfortunately I don't know the names of all the...
Whilst I was working, I had dealings with numerous care homes in both Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, Blackwell in my opinion is certainly 5 star.
Thank you for your kind words, it was our pleasure to look after mum and if you ever need anything please contact us.

Since walking through the door to look around Blackwell Care Home, the warmth, care and compassion has been amazing. The team are so helpful and supportive to both Mum and our family. We are really happy with the systems and processes in place to keep Mum safe.

My mum is really happy here and I would happily recommend this home
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that Blackwell feels warm, welcoming and reassuring, and that your mum is happy with the care she receives. Your comments about our team mean a great deal. Thank you again for your recommendation and kind words.
My Mum has been in Blackwell Care Home for about 4 months. I am happy that she is being adequately cared for in a safe, clean and caring environment. Her personal needs are being met, and she is encouraged to engage in meaningful activities.

Not had much experience of care homes, but it seems very clean & tidy and not smelling like some others I have visited.

Not had much experience of care homes, but it seems very clean & tidy and not smelling like some others I have visited. Staff seem caring & efficient, sometimes they seem to be busy to take my mam to the toilet straight away. Seem to have a lot of activities going on, involve the visitors as well. My mam has vascular dementia quite badly, so unfortunately can't ask her for a opinion as most of the time she does not know where she is. But we know that she is safe and that piece of mind for us all.
My husband is having excellent care, I feel confident about him being here.

Mum has been encouraged to be independant but also helped and assisted when needed. As Mums condition worsens the staff are mindful and respectful of her advancing needs. All the staff really do seem to care, this being shown in their attitudes, communication and support they offer.
Everyone makes you welcome.

My mum is very well cared for. The carers are amazing with her. The carers are always smiling, so caring and polite. They can't do enough for our family.

Anything I ask for I get done as quickly as possible. If I have a problem I go to see the nurses or the management, I don't hesitate to speak up. Myself and my dad are so happy Mum is in safe hands. I just want to thank the carers so much, they work so hard and it's a hard job. They need to be recognised more in the pay scales.
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review Caroline. It is our pleasure to look after your mum. Your kind words are appreciated.

Although my mother has only been a resident for a short period, she has settled in very well and the care she is receiving is excellent. The staff throughout the entire care home, regardless of their individual positions, are extremely welcoming and caring. This has obviously been very appreciated by my mother, myself and our wider family. We viewed several care homes before visiting Blackwell Care Home and I am pleased to say that after looking around this home and meeting the people, we looked no further.
My sister was moved into Blackwell Care Home early this year and on my first visit I could tell on entering the building that it was nothing like any of the care home I had experienced before. The atmosphere in all areas was fresh, bright and airy. The staff are friendly and eager to help when...
My sister was moved into Blackwell Care Home early this year and on my first visit I could tell on entering the building that it was nothing like any of the care home I had experienced before. The atmosphere in all areas was fresh, bright and airy. The staff are friendly and eager to help when required. Particularly impressive are the efforts made by the handicraft personnel who keep residents occupied and entertained throughout each day. I am happy that the management and staff are taking good care of my sister and sure they will continue to do so.

Blackwell Care Home have nursed my mum incredibly well, which is why, despite many health issues, she is still with us at 95. The home is beautifully clean, absolutely no smell at all, staff are all friendly and approachable and as I'm a frequent visitor, have got to know them well. Mum has her hair done every week at their little salon and is always dressed nicely. Activities are on Monday to Friday, including foot spas and nail polishing. Food is also cooked fresh and there is lots of choice. I could not have picked a better home.
Oral hygiene for residents is one area where improvements could be made...
A special shout-out should be given to the staff who keep both the home and the clothes of the residents very clean.

Dear Deborah, thank you for taking the time to give your review, compliments and for raising a concern regarding mouthcare.I am sorry you had to raise this concern, I wish to assure you that we take all concerns very seriously and to that point, I have now put in place an additional formal daily management monitoring of oral care across the home. It is also itemised as a rolling daily agenda item at our flash meetings each morning, to ensure we maintain high standards of mouthcare at all times.
After having a relative's meetings at the care home my dad is in, a lot of things were discussed and hopefully will be resolved, including newsletters (regularly), letting us know where and how much is in the pot after events that have happened.
