I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the professionalism and care our mother received during her last days in Derwent Care Home. She was always treated with the utmost empathy and respect. Also for the help and support our family received during the past few weeks. Thank you so much.

My mother has been a resident at this home for about 12 months. Overall I find the care and the facilities very good. The staff are approachable and caring, but they could do with more staff on duty.

The food always looks lovely. Rooms and communal areas clean and warm. Mum's dementia has progressed but feels confident she is in the best possible place, getting the best possible care.
I could not fund a care home that provides as much care as this home does.

It doesn't feel like a residential home which my grandad and I both like. I especially like the new decor in the home. Very happy with the way the residents and carers interact.
A very friendly care home and I am always made to feel welcome when I come to visit my dad. I am always offered refreshments or if it is meal time, an option to have a meal with him. It doesn't feel like a care home. Just one big happy family. All staff work very hard to care for my dad as well as...

My mother resides in the home and has done for the last three years. All the carers are extremely caring with her and show a high degree of empathy with her and with our family. The manager is approachable and efficient. As a family, we are very happy with our mother's care although sometimes we feel that the staff are stretched at times being able to cope with the resident's needs.
We are very happy as a family, with the care our mother receives. The staff and management are wonderful, but feel that they are stretched at times! Over the last 3 years the staff seems to have diminished!
