Lot's of carers to help us when asked. I enjoy most of the meals. Sometimes the sauce is too much on the meals. The soup is always very good. I take lots of soup meals. The best soup is potato and veg.

Thank you for your review Kathleen. It is always good for us to get feedback from people who actually live in our home. I will pass your comments about the soup onto the cooks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment you enter the building, you are met by very friendly staff who help in any way they can. The support staff are both friendly and obviously enjoy giving the clients every possible support. This is refreshing when you read in the press of other establishments where this is not the case.
The cakes on offer in the coffee lounge are always fresh, which will reflect the quality of food in the dining room. My wife's aunt is always well dressed and is clearly well looked after.

Thank you Calum for taking the time to review the home. All the staff strive to make the home a great place to live with a high standard of care. I will share your comments with the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really impressed with the high level of support that my mother is receiving at Deeside Care Home. She also appears to be thriving within their care environment and enjoys all the activities and pamper aspects of having her hair and nails done every week (if she wants). My mother especially is enjoying
the variety of meal choices and being a diabetic, Deeside have catered for this aspect too. All in all, it's been an uplifting experience for the family and we are now able to spend more quality time with mum as they take care of everything.

I am continually impressed by the welcoming, friendly atmosphere of the home. The staff's priority always appears to be the well-being, comfort and dignity of the residents. The quality of the staff is very high and this is probably due to the excellent leadership particularly from the management.
The hygiene and cleanliness are excellent. Staff always very quick to deal with personal hygiene with high regard for the resident's dignity.

Initial transaction from residential home to care home was smooth, efficient and hassle-free. Settling in procedure worked well. Senior staff very aware of residents' needs. Outings are enjoyed by the residents as are beautician pampering activities.
More use could be made of/residents encouraged to
use social sitting areas and cinema facilities.
Age-appropriate physically engaging activities would benefit residents, perhaps sourced from volunteers in the local community.

Deeside Care Home has looked after my dad for the last 41/2 years due to him having Alzheimer's. During this time his care has been excellent and I feel confident leaving him in their care. Their approach also supports my Mum and they ensure she is ok when visiting and help her when my dad in is need

My experience of the care given to my husband, a resident suffering from dementia, has been excellent. The staff on the ground floor are pleasant, cheerful, friendly and caring, both of the residents and the relatives. I am impressed by the way the staff greet residents by name at all times even passing
in the corridor or just putting laundry away in the room. The low turn over of staff indicates a good management team which keeps the Deeside Care Home a good and happy place.

My mother in law spent just over 3 years in Deeside Care Home. The care she received was second to none. The staff were very attentive and treated her as if she were their own relative. When visiting you are always made welcome. Cleanliness is great and I would recommend this home to anyone.

A very well managed care home.
Deeside Care Home provides excellent care for my father. He has dementia and is 93 years old. The staff are very caring and patient with him and he is very well looked after. The food is homemade and very good. His clothes are always clean and personal care is great.
He is always clean and shaved as he would like to be. Hair is kept cut and tidy by a resident hairdresser.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad went to live at Deeside Care Home in the Summer of 2017 and this is his first experience of living in a care home. At Deeside, there is a high standard of care and compassion from both management and staff at the Care Home. I have personally observed the loving compassion that the staff have
for the residents in their care, and from my conversations with management and staff, they all know my Dad well and his ongoing needs. There is a friendly and happy atmosphere in this care home where management and staff go out of their way to please both resident and the resident's family. The resident and his/her needs are a priority in this care home. Although I live remotely and unable to visit my Dad on a regular basis, I have complete peace of mind that he is being very well cared for at Deeside.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has dementia and is no longer mobile. She is very well cared for at Deeside. The staff are very caring and attentive. They notice small things that are wrong, e.g. skin damage and get them attended to before she is troubled by them. My husband and I are kept informed of any problems.
The staff also pay attention to her personal style and dress her as she would wish if she were still able to choose for herself what to wear. The staff are also very welcoming and helpful to us when we visit.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Deeside Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.920 for Deeside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.92
  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 Deeside Care Home is based on 15 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 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
    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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
