Review from Valerie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother started in two different hospitals before being transferred to Delaheys. I arrived first to greet her, but was met with an unexpected wonderful welcome and cup of tea. This reflected the staff in general. They cared for me as well as my mum. A lovely home and I would have been happy to have
her stay forever but wanted Mum (and sister) moved closer to me. Shout out to Freddy - always had time to talk to me. Disappointed with bedroom - shared but they knew the stay was very short.
Reply from Diane Parker, Manager at Delaheys Nursing Care HomeThankyou very much for your lovely review, it is very much appreciated and a pleasure to care for your Mum.

We viewed a number of nursing homes in the area and found Delaheys to be the best by far. Friendly and caring staff, nothing was too much trouble. My mother in law was made to feel comfortable and cared for. The home is well maintained and the food choices were excellent, catering for all my mother
in laws requirements. Highly recommend.

Review from Paula D (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a hospital stay, my father was allocated a place at Delaheys Nursing Home, and I honestly didn't know what to expect. From the moment he arrived, we were over the moon with the level of care he received. Even though he was bed bound, so many staff members took the time to pop into his room, chat
with him, and brighten his day.


He received end-of-life care here, and it was handled with complete professionalism and dignity. The view over the Golf Course was a lovely bonus, giving him something beautiful to look at each day. I was kept fully informed about his care throughout, and visiting was always a comfort-there was always a nurse on duty who knew everything about his needs and was happy to answer any questions or concerns.


All his friends who visited in his final days were equally impressed by the attention and care he received. I couldn't have asked for a better place for him in his final chapter.

Reply from Diane Parker, Manager at Delaheys Nursing Care HomeThankyou for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure for us to be involved in your Dads Care.

Review from Adele B (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot say enough good things about Delahey Care Home. My dad resided here for 6 months before he passed away and he was so well cared for. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure he was well looked after, comfortable, safe, clean and as happy as he could be. Delaheys staff became like
a family to us, offering great support in every way they could. I heard so many bad things about care homes and was so sceptical initially but I knew almost instantly on arriving at Delaheys that it was right for our dad and our situation. I will forever hold a space in my heart for the genuine, good people who cared for our dad and I will never forget the kindness they showed to him, myself and my family in his final months. Thank you Delaheys! 5* without a doubt.

Most of the staff are welcoming and polite, and after two years most know my name. The home is always clean and tidy and requests are usually followed up. I believe the food to be good and choices are available. Birthday cake second year running is most appreciated. Would like to see more permanent
staff. Mum seems to be content.

A caring and homely environment with good food. The needs of the residents are well catered for and they are encouraged to use their abilities to the full no matter what their medical needs are. A home I am happy for my mother to live her final days.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have been overall very pleased with the care given to both my parents especially my mother who is now end of life.
Staff seem caring and competent.
One thing that could improve is the variety of food on the menu - lots of mince in various forms. The home has recently been taken over and they are
making improvements bit by bit.
Decor needs updating as well as heating etc.
Reply from Diane Parker, Manager at Delaheys Nursing Care HomeThank you for your kind words regarding the care that your parents have received, quality care is paramount for us. We are updating the menu soon to introduce our spring menu and welcome any suggestions that your parents would like to see on the menu.

I was brought from hospital after two nights following 3 days over a couple of days, arriving three days before I was booked in for three weeks respite recommended by my doctor. The virus arrived very soon after my arrival and so I am staying until the situation is safe. Well looked after and cared
for and safe in this excellent care home.

Excellent, compassionate care. Staff take time to get to know the residents. No agency staff employed - caring supportive team. Excellent freshly prepared tasty meals individually adapted to suit each resident.
High standards of hygiene, personal care and nursing care. Well maintained environment.
Can't recommend the Delaheys Nursing Care Home highly enough.

Review from K A H (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A comfortable, caring home in which cheerful staff put the needs of patients first in a friendly way. Staff were kind and professional, as well as compassionate. The food offered at each meal was good and varied, providing residents with tasty, nutritious meals that could tempt jaded appetites.
The
focus is on providing a comfortable environment, a home from home, with recognition that some residents may be there for respite care or recovery, rather than long term care, while acknowledging a visit may develop into something more permanent.
Staff found time to help concerned relatives and answer questions relating to a resident, while respecting the rights of the resident to privacy and confidentiality. The only things my relative would have really changed was the time of the first hot drink of the day, and the ease, or otherwise, of getting a daily shower.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident at Delaheys for over a year. We spent a great deal of time choosing what we hoped would be a good home, and we have not been disappointed. The standard of care is faultless. We have been delighted with everything about the home - the friendliness of all staff, the professionalism,
and the obvious love and concern that is shown for all residents.
I can't imagine that we could have found a better place for my father.

I was agreeably surprised at the home-like look and the cheerfulness of the staff. My relative has improved enormously since her arrival here earlier this year, all due to the patience and diligence and encouragement that she had from the dedicated staff. My relative was very, very ill and the transformation
has surprised and delighted the family. This is all due to the care she has received in this care home, of course, I would recommend it to others.

The home and staff are of the highest standard. The staff are very and look after residents extremely well. The building is very clean and kept very well.
My main concern is there little/no activity stimulus for those residents able to get involved. Encouragement to take part in any sort of group activity
is very scarce and this would really help some of the residents, rather than just sitting in a chair all day otherwise the home is of an excellent standard.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.451)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.451) out of 10 for Delaheys Nursing Care Home 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.901 for Delaheys Nursing Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.901
  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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Delaheys Nursing Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.55
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 6 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.
