The staff are absolutely brilliant, so friendly, helpful and jolly. The home is clean and very well run. The food is very good and nothing is too much trouble. Good atmosphere, parking is good. The rehabilitation isn't as intensive as I would have liked for my husband but they were very caring.

I have always found this care home to be excellent and I am more than happy with excellent care that my mother receives.

My dad was discharged from the hospital to Darnall Grange Care Home into a rehab bed. The staff team all made the effort to care and meet all of Dad's personal and medical needs. Dad became a resident in Sept/Oct and had his final days there. Dad was happy and safe and my sister and I were also cared for by all staff which helped us enormously. We will be forever grateful to the team there. We cannot thank them enough.

I have had a great expereince while here. The staff carers and physiotherapists have all been amazing towards me. I have been treated with respect and compassion the whole time I have been here. With encouragement and patience, I have been able to get some of my mobility back. I am very grateful to everyone here.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Darnall Grange.
My husband has been a resident at Darnall Grange Care Home for 8 months now. I believe that under the excellent care manager, the team provide a high standard of care to the residents. I visit almost daily and have observed genuine kindness and consideration by the carers. The staff are welcoming and I am always offered a drink. The staff encourage families to dine with the residents which I do on a regular basis. The food is freshly prepared and varied. A big thank you to the whole team.
Many thanks for taking time to review our service and your comments will be passed on to our staff.

A good friend of mine has now been in Darnall Grange for six months. When asked now he found it he said " I am sometimes lonely but the care from the staff is excellent". The outstanding feature of Darnall Grange for me is the friendliness of the staff and the respect and consideration they show to both residents and their visitors. I wish all nursing homes were like Darnall Grange.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your friend had positive and stress-free experience with our service. Your kind words serve as a great testament to the hard work and dedication our staff do at Darnall Grange.

Thanks for taking time and reviewing our service. Contents of your review will be shared with our entire team of Darnall Grange.
My mum has been a resident for two years. From the very beginning, all the staff made her as comfortable as possible, My wife's grandmother had previously been a resident and had a comfortable stay at Darnall Grange as well. Therefore we had no hesitation in choosing Darnall Grange for our mum.
Although my room was very clean, the commode was not cleaned every time I used it. Also, I had a bath (which was marvellous) but the transfer seat had poo on it which I found disgusting. Some of the carers were not trained in that. Nobody came to me telling me about any activities which I would have responded to as I was spending all day in my room with the exception of physio. Having said that all the carers/nurses were on the whole great and so were the physio. Just need to get the commode sorted. I would recommend them.
Please accept our sincere thanks for review your time to our service.
My brother has been in the care home for about 3 months now. He is happy and his needs are met. The care and attention given to him by the staff is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. On Valentine's Day, they organised a care and special meal for him to share with his amazing wife. They treat him with respect and understanding. Watching the staff with other residents, I can see this is across the board. The food is well cooked and everywhere is very clean.
Thank you for taking time to review our service, appreciated.
Exceeded our expectations because the staff were absolutely fabulous. They could not have been more caring and pleasant. They always brought a smile to Mum's face.
After being in hospital for 3 weeks the staff and home were lovely. I am grateful for all the help and care I have received.
Thank you so much for your time to review our service.
My dad has come on in leaps and bounds, since arriving at Darnall Grange Care Home nearly 6 weeks ago. The staff cannot do enough for him and they are really particular with his personal hygiene. The food is really good and in ample supply for the residents.
Thanks for your review, contents of your review will be shared with our staff.
Since being in Darnall Grange my mother has been given exceptional care she has been treated with so much care and understanding. Nothing has been too much trouble and I have been welcomed at all times. All the staff and the care home Manager are incredible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darnall Grange for their care, cleanliness and excellent food.
Please accept our sincere thanks to review our service.
