Dene Park House Care Home is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, close to the Metro Centre.
Staff are always keen to make a good impression, so visitors to Dene Park are welcomed with a smile and offered ‘a cuppa’, whatever the reason for their visit. This is particularly important if they are looking for a care home for their loved ones – often a traumatic time for a family. Visitors are usually shown around the home and introduced to care staff, the residents and, when appropriate, their families.
Residents have lots of things going on, inside and outside of the home. There are arts and crafts sessions, a knitting club and a resident forum. A local dance class comes in, as well as a theatre group which puts on pantomimes. There are regular visits from singers, and residents often join in. The home is next door to The Victory pub, which can be used regularly by residents if they desire. There is also a bar at the home where residents can enjoy a drink with their visitors.
Residents can get involved in the running of the home, with some residents helping to lay the tables for meals and others helping to hoover.

Everytime I come to visit my Cousin, from the manager to the handyman, everyone is so kind and thoughtful and they all do a fabulous job at looking after the residents. All staff are so happy and helpful, and nothing is a problem to them, they have made my cousin feel so relaxed and cared for, and...

Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation. We're delighted to hear that you and your family have received such support, care, and understanding from our team. Supporting both residents and their loved ones is incredibly important to us and your kind words about our team mean a great deal and will be shared with them all.
My husband has only been here for 4 weeks but has settled well. He is comfortable with the staff and enjoys the food. His dementia causes him to wander, both day and night, but his security is taken very seriously.

Special mention must go to Julie, the activities manager, who ensures the residents have plenty of things to do and varied activities that they all seem to enjoy. She is excellent at ensuring all residents are included
I would also like to thank Charlotte, who put our minds at rest when we were initially looking for a nursing care home for mum, and who has ensured we've been kept up to date with everything that has been going on
Although mum's time at Dene Park House was relatively short before her passing, I know she felt happy and cared for. My wife and I are so pleased we chose this as her home
We are very sorry for the loss of your mum and would like to thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind and considerate review. Your lovely feedback will be passed to all the team and also the specific Colleagues you have mentioned.

My mother has lived at Dene Park for four years. She feels happy, safe and comfortable here. All of the staff are caring and work hard. The team of nursing and care staff are kind, accommodating and ensure good care is given to the residents and are mindful of their individual needs. The domestics do a wonderful job of keeping the care home clean as well as the residents' laundry. The food is cooked well. Any issues myself or my mother have had have always been dealt with professionally by management who are approachable and proactive.
Thank you for your wonderful review and kind words, the 5-star feedback will be shared with all our Dene Park House team.
A relaxing time. Nice food. Good staff.

I find that day staff do provide good care and attention. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for night staff. All other aspects of care are good. Activities are excellent since new person took over. The one problem I have is that when a message is asked to be passed on it very rarely is.

I have limited knowledge and experience of care homes but have been pleasantly surprised at the excellent level of care and commitment shown by all the staff. In particular the nursing/care of the staff who daily/nightly see to all the needs of my relative which at times has been extremely challenging for them. The staff and management have always kept me and other family members fully informed of my relative's welfare and health. All in all, excellent!
Thank you for your lovely review and fantastic feedback that we will pass on to the team.
Since Mum has been here, she has settled in well. Staff are all lovely, very kind, caring and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. Room nice and personalised it. Very happy with the care received.

I have nothing but gratitude and respect for the Dene Park team. They have looked after my mum so well over the years and have been so patient and kind. It is time to move on, as my mum's needs have increased. I would just like to thank all the team, especially three members of staff in particular. I have witnessed the person-centred and caring approach adopted to all residents. I would be happy to be involved in any further feedback.
Thank you for your lovely review, we will pass this over to the team at Dene Park House.
My mum has been in this care home for almost three years. The first year was difficult due to covid. There have been a few changes in staff and management but there seems to be a good team there now. The carers are all amazing and deserve medals. As with all care homes, it’s a pity there aren’t...
Friends of mine who have visited with me have also praised Dene Park House as a very caring home.
Since the new manager was appointed, there has been an improvement. She appears to genuinely want to improve the home. There are more activities, regular relatives meetings have been organised and my mum is encouraged to get out of bed daily and has more interaction with staff and fellow...
There is still room for improvement in terms of communication, I recently arrived for a visit and found out on arrival that there was a Covid outbreak and visiting was restricted. Surely it would have been prudent to send an email to each resident's family to let them know about this. I was also alarmed to discover that my mum had been subjected to a deprivation of liberty safeguards assessment without my knowledge that the referral had been made.
Thank you for your review, we are pleased that you are able to see the improvements that the manager and her team have made. Our home manager will be in touch from Dene Park to look into your concerns raised.
My mum has been in Dene Park House for 3 years. The care she receives is of the highest standard. She is treated as an individual and all of the staff know her and are receptive to her needs. Dene Park House has had its issues in the past with regards to managers changing on an ongoing basis. This...
I would personally like to thank all of the hardworking staff at Dene Park House who care for my mum on a daily basis. I am lucky that I can visit her daily however when I am not there I am reassured by the updates I receive from the staff around how she has been throughout the day and the conversations they have been having with her.
I would not hesitate in recommending Dene Park House for your loved ones.
Thank you for your lovely review of our home and kind words about our colleagues, these will be passed to our Dene Park House team.
It feels like home, it’s a friendly environment and my Mum receives excellent care. Most of the staff have worked at Dene Park House long term and feel like an extended part of our own family. My Mum is happy living here and feels her needs are well met.

Unfortunately, both my mother and father have recently had to go in to care. We researched and visited several homes and decided that Dene Park House was the best fit for their care needs. I would like to thank the team for the outstanding level of care that they deliver day in, day out. Some staff deserve a special thank you as they have kept me well informed about how my parents are doing during this transition period. I could thoroughly recommend this care home and brilliant team for your loved ones.
Thank you for your very kind review. It is our pleasure to look after your mum and dad. They are both part of our Dene Park House family.
