Can I just take this time to thank you all for the care and compassion your staff gave my nan, and thank-you to her carers and all the staff that made me and my husband very welcome. You gave my nan dignity and showed love in her last days. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.

My mother has been at Dale Park for a few months now. From the outset, the staff have gone over and above to help her settle in. On visiting my mother I have always found the home be inviting with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I've always found the staff to be approachable and helpful and it appears
that they have built a good rapport with my mum, which has made her happy. From the very first evening I left my mother at Dale Park, I felt confident that she was in good hands.

Mum has been a resident for 18 months. Dale Park must be up there with the very best for genuine care towards its residents and their families. The staff are on the ball meeting the needs of my mother. There is daily routines in place meaning we all know what and when things are due to happen. Regular
reviews take place and family meetings are also taking place. The management are very accessible to deal with any queries we may have at any time. I ask mum often if she is happy and comfortable at Dale Park to which she has always replied yes she is. Mum is in a happy, caring, safe place with genuinely caring and attentive staff under excellent proactive management. Well done Dale Park, your excellence helps mum and us deal with mums difficult illness. Thank you!

As a long-term resident, my husband continues to receive exceptional care at Dale Park. The staff treat him with care, kindness and compassion. Whenever I visit, he is comfortable in his wheeled armchair and the staff take him to his room for me so we can have some privacy. When I visited this week,
one of the carers said that they can still get a smile. This reassurance was very much appreciated and in keeping with the caring attitude extended to the relatives. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

When dad arrived in Dale Park Care Home some 20 months ago he was not in a good place due to his Alzheimer's.
Due to the care and patience of the staff dad soon settled.
Sadly we lost our dad due to the disease progression. He was loved and cared for by all the staff at Dale Park.
Thank you.

Mum has only been a resident at Dale Park for a short while but since her arrival, she has positively bloomed. The staff are compassionate and caring and mum is treated with the dignity and respect she deserves, they are supportive and attentive to all her needs. There are excellent food options, catering
for all palates, all freshly prepared on the premises, with all nutritional needs being met. All the rooms are decorated to a high standard, with the furniture in both lounges set to allow smaller groups to socialise as a family. Feel blessed to have found the perfect place for our mum's care.

So pleased to find that my sister had settled in well and was happy with her room and facilities. The care home provided my sister with a wheeled wrap around chair, so she could be moved from her room straight to the dining room. Facilities include film shows. A classic film was showing when we arrived.
The staff led by a great team are very caring and nothing is too much trouble. We can fully recommend this care home.

When we visit Dale Park, firstly the staff, management, office, carers, cleaners and kitchen staff are always very friendly and helpful. They show interest in our relative and give us regular updates on their well-being. Once we are inside the home we can always see staff giving 100% care to the residents.
Everyone is pleasant and the place is very clean and tidy.

I could not be happier with the manager and the staff whom I have met since my first visit to Dale Park. The care home felt so comfortable and friendly as soon as I walked through the front door. The home is very nicely decorated and is spotlessly clean. The staff and residents interacted really nicely.
My sister although only a resident for a short while has settled in so well and we are very happy with the room she has been given.

Mum has resided at Dale Park for a month now. I feel the manager and all the care staff are extremely professional and patient and give their all for their residents. I too always receive a warm welcome and a cup of tea. If mum is off-colour the communication to me is first class and it's a lovely environment
to visit.
The weight Dale Park and its team have lifted from me is immeasurable.

After various visits to many care homes and a recommendation from a friend to look at Dale Park, the same friend accompanied me to Dale Park and almost instinctively I knew this was my top choice. Lovely people employed here no chandeliers or glitz, just good caring staff that know how to care for sick
people. I was employed in Institution Management my reaction was a warm caring home, food cooked on the premises, spotless, staff welcoming. I'm relaxed now.

Having to put my father into a care home was the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make. However Dale Park brings security of the mind to me. Fantastic staff - so friendly and accommodating to all our needs. The home itself is modern, clean and quiet for the residents. The garden out back is
lovely and the dining room is bright and hospitable. Very happy with the care my father is receiving.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.973)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.973) out of 10 for Dale Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.973 for Dale Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (404 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.973

  • b) 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 Dale Park Care Home is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
