My wife has been at Dearnevale for 8 years and I can't thank each and every one for their support they give us as a family. Dearnevale is amazing, each day is different for my wife and can be challenging at times but staff give 100% to her needs, which as a family we are forever grateful.

My mum has been here nearly 5 years now. The staff are truly amazing, it is always very welcoming. I visit with various family members and the comfort we all get from knowing how well the care given here is, it's just fantastic.

Excellent and caring staff, dealing with some challenging residents. There are always plenty of activities and events happening and regular shopping trips. Staff keep us well informed as to what is happening regarding care.

My son has been at Dearnevale for 13/14 years, I would really recommend anyone with complex needs to come and view Dearnevale as it is outstanding. I have worked for exemplar in my working life and Dearnevale is the best by far, this home is so friendly and very supportive to us and I wouldn't want my son anywhere else. Just like to say thank you to everyone at Dearnevale.
Excellent care given to my relative, he has progressed physically and mentally and his quality of life has improved significantly. Due to Covid, family have had only minimal contact and his development is down to the excellent care given to meet his diverse, individual needs.

Although this has been a very hard emotional year for me not being able to see my husband during the first lockdown, I do know that he has been in very good hands and really well cared for. Hopefully, now there is a light at the end of the tunnel and things will get back to normal as soon as possible as I am just allowed garden visits at the moment due to the variant.
Couldn't wish for a better place for my stepdaughter to live. All the staff spoil her and wants for nothing.

As always I don't have any negative things to say about Dearnevale. My dad has been a resident for nine years and in all that time we have been made very welcome whenever we come to visit, and the care my dad receives is excellent, and he is always happy when we visit.

My son has been at Dearnevale now for over thirteen years. At first, I was very reluctant leaving him there as we are from Nottinghamshire which is quite a distance away. We have had our ups and downs but the staff and management are very supportive. It's a very friendly, homely atmosphere, my son has no way of communicating but staff know him so well and know what his needs are.
Thank you for your positive review. We're glad to hear that you feel supported by colleagues at the home, and it has a friendly atmosphere. I'll pass on your message to the team at Dearnevale - it'll make everyone's day.

Hi, I’m Helen and I’m the Registered Manager at Dearnevale in Grimethorpe, Barnsley.
I qualified as a Nurse in 1986 after completing my training at the Sheffield School of Nursing. My ambition from the age of three was always to be a Nurse, and I’m so proud that I achieved it!
After qualifying, I worked at Lodge Moor Hospital in the infectious disease unit, and then in general medicine before joining the British Army and serving in the Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps.
Following my time in the Army, I worked for the Ministry of Defence in Germany.
When I returned to England, I started working in elderly care and general rehabilitation, including in a specialist stroke rehabilitation unit.
I joined Dearnevale, part of Exemplar Health Care, in February 2008 working as a Nurse.
In the summer of 2008, I became Unit Manager in Darbyshire Unit at the home, and in 2010, I became Clinical Nurse Manager.
Five years later I moved into the Home Manager role. I’ve loved that my whole career with Exemplar Health Care has been spent at Dearnevale – it’s my second home and family!
