Review from Claire G (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Great atmosphere as you go in, friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. Nice room.

Lots of stimulation for residents with the activities coordinator there from 8am-5pm. Two lounge areas separated by French doors.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.
