A really professional company who clearly have the residents' medical and physical welfare at the heart of the care. We, the family, are included in all aspects of their care and well-being. A really caring bunch of carers, cleaners and general administration staff.

Mum has lived in Deangate Care Home since September 2024. A few weeks before Christmas I asked if my family and I could share Christmas day and have a meal with mum. No problem, was the answer, it could get busy though. On Christmas Day my wife and I and my two grown-up children arrived and to our joy
we were lead into the cafe room and a table with all the trimmings had been arranged just for us. We all had a lovely relaxed meal and were able to chat with mum all afternoon. The staff were lovely and engaging. We never felt rushed to finish. We were left with lots of lovely memories of that special day. Thank you!

We work with the home on various projects with the residents. The staff treat all the residents with care, dignity and respect. There is a real family atmosphere, myself and all the church volunteers feel a real part of the community whenever we come to do activities. The staff are caring, facilities
are always clean and most importantly the residents are happy and well-loved.

My mother has been a resident for over 4 years. She has high dependency needs, and throughout this time she had her complex care needs met. I would like to shout out for the manager who runs a lovely and friendly supportive team. The food is superb and they regularly run activities. My mother seems
happy and content and I would find it difficult to fault any aspect of her stay here at Deangate Care Home.

I visited my grandma in February, all staff seemed really friendly. My gran was sat in the lounge, she looked lovely. She'd had her hair cut and she looked settled. The activities coordinator was chatting to us and making us aware of upcoming events and to us and grandma about her past. This made me
smile and I felt confident my gran was getting good care and attention.

All staff give me a warm welcome. My mum has told me how much she loves living in the home and loves the 'girls' (carers). She is always treated with dignity, respect and empathy. My mum is very anxious and the staff reassure her, she's not got a good appetite so they sit with her at mealtimes and encourage
her. I have no worries about leaving my mum when I go home. A big thank you from all my family.

When admitted to Deangate Mum was made very welcome. She has dementia and Alzheimer's. Staff took her for some tea while we went through the paperwork. When we went to say bye to her she was sitting upright looking around, smiling and had found her voice. All these things she hasn't done for a long,
long time. We as a family couldn't remember the last time we saw her smile. She's relaxed and comfortable. Thank you staff at Deangate.

Our aunty has only been in Deangate Care Home for a couple of months, but we are extremely happy with the care she is receiving. All the staff seem genuinely concerned and want to do their best to cater for my aunt's needs. The home always looks clean and tidy and from what I've heard, the meals are

From day one, I have been satisfied with my wife's care. The staff are always willing to help should I need anything during my visit and they always look after my wife if she needs anything during my visit. I can go home after my visit knowing that my wife is getting the care and attention she needs.

Couldn't run a party in a brewery comes to mind. If I could name and shame I would but obviously, that's why you don't let reviews do this. You should take good and bad. It's been the worst seven and a half months of my life. Things surely can only get better. I would love to name the few people that
have helped me with my progress, you know who you are, and all the kitchen staff are amazing and feed you. Amazing with what they have to work with. If you are reading this and you have family in this facility, I would say to keep your eyes open as lies and complaints have led to me being removed from this home because it's my leg I lost not my eyes and ears. I feel for the residents and the few carers that do really care as they get treated like a dogsbody. Sorry if you don't like this review but as I've always said I only tell truth and if the truth hurts then that's it. I hope the staff all get swapped around and let them run the place. I bet things would run more smoothly.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.463)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.463) out of 10 for Deangate 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.863 for Deangate Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.863
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Deangate Care Home is based on 8 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 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 = 3.8
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.8
  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.
