The Dales looks beyond its duty to provide excellent Nursing care. It is also a vibrant, active community with a full and varied programme of social and leisure pursuits, including organised musical and other events plus trips and excursions, which enable residents to enjoy a stimulating and busy lifestyle.

Above all, it is committed to helping its residents, their families and friends feel totally at home. The team believe this is what really makes the home different from traditional nursing homes. Staff really want people to feel that this is their own home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Very satisfied with the 3 carers and sister on mother's unit. I cannot fault them but I have seen fees rise from £700 per week to £900 per week. Mother has a simple dark room facing North. However, I have put up with this because she spends all her days in the lounge which is bright and pleasant. I
do not think carers have seen their pay packets rise by even £10 per week. When people ask me what I think of the home, I say with the carers I am satisfied BUT I feel the managers of the care home head office in London are lining their pockets and probably earning 4 times as much as the carers who do all the dirty work. I am very aware that the company DICTATES to the home and its workers what they have to do and yet I have never seen anyone from London and my mother has been here 4 years.

Whilst the care provided at the Dales was excellent, unfortunately, we had to move my elderly mother despite her having dementia as the management increased the fees by 6% after just six months of arriving, then another 7% a year later, despite inflation rates being under 1% for past few years. We felt
this is taking advantage of the fact that most people will not want to move their elderly relatives, usual generic reasons given, one being increased labour costs - be interested to know if wages went up by these amounts over the same period. Fortunately, she has settled in well to a nearby care home with no adverse impact on her health

Always extremely welcoming to all visitors whether family or friends. Plenty of activities going on for the residents and again family and friends and very often included. All special occasions/events recognised and celebrated - Halloween/bonfire night/Burns night etc and invitations sent to family.
Residents welfare is second to none, carers are obviously very dedicated towards their charges and nothing is too much trouble to make residents feel comfortable, safe and well fed. They know all the residents needs and have a warm approach towards everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.481)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.481) out of 10 for Barchester Dales Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.481 for Barchester Dales Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.481

  • b) 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 Barchester Dales Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
