Review from Debbie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father (aged 94) has been in Deewater Grange now for one month.
The home is brand new and beautifully decorated, more like a five-star hotel than a care home, with comfortable, cosy sitting rooms, a cinema, cafe, hairdresser and attractive restaurant where family and friends are encouraged to join
residents for meals. All bedrooms are of a good size, light and airy and have access onto a patio and garden area.
However it is the staff who make it such a wonderful place to be, not only the carers but receptionists, maintenance staff, chefs and managers, are all so kind, caring and friendly, they always have Dad's best interests at heart and nothing seems too much trouble. In addition family and friends are welcomed and made to feel part of this very special 'family'.
My father's health has improved substantially from the time he arrived and he is much happier in himself. I am delighted that I found Deewater Grange and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Review from Andrea D (Respite Resident) published on 17 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am staying here for 3 weeks whilst we have our bathroom refurbished and was the second resident to move in. From the moment I made contact with Deewater, I had a wonderful welcome. It is an absolute pleasure staying here. All the staff are kind, caring, respectful, empower and enable each and every
one of us, and are fun to be around! Deewater is furnished to an exceptional standard. I have enjoyed decorating cakes and biscuits, making lots of things for Valentines Day and have had a haircut. The food is delicious always presented so beautifully. I am going to go home a stone heavier! My family and friends are always made to feel welcome and have peace of mind that I am safe and happy here. I have enjoyed meeting and chatting to other residents and will really miss everyone when it is time to say goodbye. I do hope that I will be able to come and stay with my 'Deewater Family' again in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Deewater Grange 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.831 for Deewater Grange is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.831
  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 Deewater Grange 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:

    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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 13 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I have worked for Care UK for most of my adult life, starting out as a healthcare assistant and progressing to my current role as Home Manager. With encouragement from colleagues, I also completed my nursing degree as a mature student.


Being able to work my way up and gain my qualifications (which also include NVQs in health and social care and leadership and management) has been a huge achievement for me and a big career highlight.


In this role, you need to be able to communicate well and have strong leadership and planning skills. Working as a team also means you have to be good at motivating people. It is also important to have a good grasp of budgets, and it is essential to be clear about safeguarding policies and procedures.


The work we do really does make a difference, and that fills me with immense pride. It feels great when we get positive feedback from relatives who can see that their loved ones are receiving the quality care they need.


My favourite part of the day is the time I’m able to spend having a coffee, cake and a chat with residents. Seeing everyone get along well and share special moments really does brighten up each day.


Outside of work, I love to travel and spend time with my children and grandchildren.
