My father was a resident at Deangate for a period of 5 months prior to passing away recently. As a family we could not have asked for better care. He was treated with dignity and respect from start to finish with staff members really going the extra mile to support him in settling in and adjusting to life in a care home. Staff were caring and patient with dad even when his Alzheimer's resulted in the need for coaxing and encouragement. All staff from Care assistants to cleaners to cooks to managers and seniors embraced us and wrapped us in their love and care, and we will be eternally grateful for the difference they made to dads final months. We felt safe and assured that our dad was in the best possible hands throughout. As a proud veteran, the activities offered to our dad really made such a difference to our family and we will continue to stay engaged in the work done at Deangate with the veteran community. This really is a very special place

Amazing care, would 100% recommend.

Dad has been at Deangate since March 2025. Moving him into a care home was one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make. The staff at Deangate have helped make that hard decision much easier to cope with. Dad is thriving and is loved and cared for so well. Cannot thank them enough for looking after Dad and supporting me with this hard decisions. You are all superb.

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.

The staff at the home are very friendly and attentive to residents. My nan has built good relationships with her carers. The facilities are clean and pleasant. Overall I feel my relative is receiving excellent care.
Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
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!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will share this with the team. Thank you again.
My heart goes out to carers for what they have to put up with from some of the people in care. There never seem to be enough carers.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate all of your lovely words and the residents really look forward to your visits. A big thank you from everyone here at Deangate.
When we first came to the home we didn't know what to expect. Everyone is so kind, the care is amazing mum is happy and settled. Absolutely excellent couldn't find a fault anywhere.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We appreciate your kind words and feedback. Thank you from everyone here at Deangate and we look forward to seeing you soon.
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.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. All the staff give 100% and work hard to ensure our residents receive the care they deserve. We really appreciate the recognition.
The best care home I have ever been in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Very attentive, such a a friendly environment to live in. I've been made to feel really welcome, I can honestly say I feel very comfortable and at home here.
Thank you for your fantastic five star review of our home. It's lovely to to hear your kind words. We will share this with our team who will be delighted.
Lots of stimulation for residents with the activities coordinator there from 8am-5pm. Two lounge areas separated by French doors.
Thank you for your fantastic five-star review of our home. It's wonderful to read how much you appreciate the staff, activities and the wonderful atmosphere at the home. We will share your words with our team as they will be thrilled to read them. Take care and keep safe.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home, I will pass your kind words onto the staff team.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, it's always lovely to hear kind words, I will share your review with the staff team.
From the first day of my mother becoming a permanent resident at Deangate Care Home all of the staff have been extremely welcoming and friendly which enabled my mother to settle in very well. The staff are very caring and helpful and have a lovely interaction with the residents.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I will pass your kind words onto the staff team.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are so pleased to hear how much you appreciate all aspects of the care we provide. We will share your review with the staff team who will be delighted to hear of your kind words.
The staff are all very good and caring and look after Mum really well. The cleaning of tops of wardrobes etc could be a bit better. Mum is very content and enjoys the food.
Thank you for the feedback regarding the wardrobes. I have reviewed the cleaning schedules with our domestic team to ensure the tops of wardrobes are cleaned regularly
The care home is just what my mother needed. They are very caring and thoughtful of the residents' needs. The place always smells nice and the food/kitchen always gives off a good aroma. All the staff are lovely and kind.
Thank you for taking the time to write your lovely review, it means so much to all of us at Deangate. We are so pleased to hear how happy you are with all aspects of the care we provide. Take care and stay safe.
