I am extremely happy with the care my auntie is receiving at Deangate. The staff are very attentive to my auntie's increasing needs and always go that extra mile to ensure she is comfortable and well cared for.

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 home-cooked and delicious. I have no concerns regarding the care my aunt is receiving.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. It's wonderful 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. Take care and stay safe.
It's my mum's first residential home, we weren't looking forward to Mum living away from us, but Deangate and all the staff have made Mum feel welcome and at home. They can't do enough for the residents - hospital appointments etc.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are delighted 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 over the moon to hear your kind words. Take care and stay safe.
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. Overall, rating 5-stars.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. Your feedback and kind words are very much appreciated. We will share your review with the staff team who will be delighted to hear of your kind words. Take care and stay safe.
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.
We value the feedback provided by those who use our services.
We want to assure you that we take all complaints very seriously.
We are committed to providing Residents with the high-quality care they deserve and ensuring we can meet everyone’s individual needs. We are extremely sorry you...
I like it here. Always made to feel comfortable and involved in choices about my care.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review; we are delighted to read about how much you like it at our home. We will share your review with our staff team as they will love it too. Kindest regards from us all.
I think that it is run very well here and the staff are always very nice.
I am always comforted by the staff's passion to care for my mum.
The home is always clean and tidy.
I always leave knowing that the staff have my mum's best interest, comfort and care needs, and this is of most importance to them.
This really does mean a lot, thank you.
Activities are almost impossible to provide with the wide range of residents problems. My background enables me to make valued judgement.
Sadly, Dad passed away recently but I can honestly say that every single one of the team could not have done more to look after and care for him. One member of staff particularly went above and beyond to ensure he had the best care from all the external providers (local GP etc). The manager and the whole team are true professionals who have the dignity and well being of the residents and their family at the forefront of what they do.
I cannot recommend Deangate highly enough and want to thank the whole team for their love and support during this difficult time.
My wife has only been in for a short time but, up to now, I am pleased with the service of care. The carers are good and the meals are good. Pleased with it all.
My husband came for end of life care. He was looked after very lovingly and carefully. He was always extra clean. Thank you all for looking after him at the end, for me. I loved him to bits.
My mother has been a resident since January 2017. I feel happy knowing that she is settled, comfortable and very well cared for. It is a pleasure to visit her. All the staff are very pleasant and approachable. They always keep me well informed on all aspects of Mother's care. The care home is always clean and well run. It is a pleasure to visit.
My dad initially went into Deangate for a week's respite, he felt at home there with the friendly staff, they made my dad feel very welcome. My mum got to the point where she could no longer look after my dad at home, so we made the decision to put Dad into full-time care, because we had had such a good experience at Deangate before we chose it to be his permanent home. I never worry about Dad's safety, I know he is well taken care of. The staff always tell us of any issues we need to know about promptly. I feel the staff at Deangate know my dad as an individual because they take time to talk with him and get to know him. I would recommend Deangate to anyone wanting a home that cares for their relatives. The staff are always friendly to my mum and me too, which certainly helps when you are going through the hard decision of placing a loved one in to care.
I just hope that the people who rate this home as good, get the chance to see another home like the one my mum is in now. They would then realise how bad Deangate is.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your experience of Deangate Care Home which took place in May 2016. As a Home, we endorse a culture of welcoming all feedback in order to use as a reward for hard work when these comments are positive and a measure of areas of improvement...
My dad has been a resident at Deangate for 3 years. In my opinion, this care home has had a lot of bad publicity. Yes, it's had a lot of work and the staff here have been and always are, very good. Also very good at all the aspects of their communication with residents and visitors.
So pleased to write that there has been a big improvement in all areas listed. We can relax better knowing our sister is being well cared for. Also, all staff are friendly and treat patients with the respect they deserve, well done Hillcare.
The care home is where my mum has been a resident for over the past 2 years. The care home has improved in that time, the staff from the manager down are all hard working, friendly and will do all they can to help. The care home has residents with various care needs from very little to very complex and difficult. The only concern I would have is at times the carers are over-stretched with regards to the resident to carer ratio.
Staff are very caring and helpful. Dad is well looked after.
Dad has been a resident of Deangate for over 2 years. The staff are very welcoming and caring and know the residents well. Deangate has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with plenty to eat and drink. Dad's room is always very clean and tidy and he enjoys the visiting entertainers.
