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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

The staff at Darnall Grange Care Home are amazing. They have so much patience and understanding of the residents in their care. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and the nurses, carers and other staff are always there, willing to help and assist residents. We visit a resident on a regular basis and
are always grateful for the care and empathy the staff constantly provide even when faced with the difficult personality of dementia. Thank you.

Mum has been in Darnall Grange for several years and is happy and content there. The Manager is always there to help with any concerns and is hands-on with the residents. A credit to Hermes. Only a certain type of person can do a carer's job and at Darnall Grange, they are excellent and should be acknowledged
for what they do. Always friendly and attentive to mum's needs. The food is great (best roast potatoes!), and the kitchen staff and housekeeping are great. Mum's room is always clean. The Activities Coordinator is the perfect person for activities, just what the residents need! Certain staff most definitely need recognition for what they do, I know I can't name them but I am sure they know who I mean! Thank you for looking after mum.

Visit Mum every week, mainly on Thursday, with my partner each week and Mum's youngest sister. We know Mum is comfortable and safe. Very friendly staff. Good activities, lovely garden to sit in in the warmer weather/day (summer). Mum is safer than she would have been at home. Good meals served. Clean
and friendly. Love our visits, always smells fresh on arriving. Room lovely and modern. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Darnall Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.813 for Darnall Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (395 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.813
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Darnall Grange Care Home is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
