I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and put my aunt at ease very quickly. The management team of the manager and care manager were very helpful in the whole process and I would recommend the care home to anybody unsure of where to place a relative.

The most amazing place. I’ve never seen my gran so happy. The reassurance we get as a family is so great knowing that she’s so happy. They always take her out and she’s made great friends. Whenever I go to visit she’s laughing and smiling and the staff are wonderful.

Went to home to visit my sister, didn't realise that she was going to a music afternoon. We were invited to go with her and enjoy the afternoon by the carer who I might add was excellent, getting the residents up to dance if they wanted and generally looking after everyone. Also the entertainment was
first-class.

Your young lady took a lot of trouble to show me around the whole building from the front door onwards, I was really impressed at the cleanliness of the whole place, each floor is well placed, each room very well laid out, very very nice decoration everywhere. Impressed by the gardens and the facilities
laid on for the residents, even parking is easy with plenty if room.

We looked at a few homes for mum before deciding on Winifred Dell. We definitely made the right choice. The home is very welcoming, bright, clean and friendly. The staff are amazing and the resident's Events Coordinator works so hard to make sure the residents a always involved in activities and outings.
The open-door policy is great meaning that relatives are welcome to visit at any time. Can't recommend Winifred Dell highly enough.

We recently spent a lovely afternoon at Winifred Dell Care Home when the Mayor visited to turn on the Christmas lights. We assembled outside with all the residents wrapped up warmly to commence the Carol singing. Words to the Carols were in plentiful supply so that everyone could join in. After all
the favourites were 'belted out' we returned inside to the cosy reception area for some warming mulled wine and mince pies. Everyone looked to be enjoying themselves with lots of chat and laughter about. Well done to everyone for organising a very pleasant afternoon for the residents, family and friends of Winifred Dell.

I am a regular visitor to Winifred Dell where my mother has been living for over 4 years. Her care has been excellent throughout despite the increase in her care needs due to dementia. I appreciate the respect and attention she receives and the many activities she can engage in.

The caring staff are excellent, but we have had a couple of hiccups with the management side. My Mum loves living here and she says she doesn’t want for anything. Her health has improved no end since she’s been here and she’s very contented which is the main aim; she certainly wouldn’t want to go back
to living on her own.

Thank you for your review, I believe the hiccups that occurred on move-in, were quickly resolved at the time. If I can help you with anything else that you are concerned about please come and see me…read more

Very happy with the way the staff at Winifred Dell look after my mother. She has been there for almost a year and seems to be very settled. She suffers from dementia and needs help with personal care and the staff are very caring with her. She really enjoys the regular entertainment and trips out.

My mother moved in during August after us seeing the home a few weeks before.
The staff are excellent, friendly, caring and inquisitive as to what they can do for mum.
She has settled really well - and this is down to the lovely rooms, atmosphere and friendly, caring staff. Would highly recommend.

Winifred Dell Care Home have been looking after our aunt and uncle since September 2022. We have recently been through a difficult time and the care and compassion shown by staff has been exceptional. Every member of staff from the ladies who look after their laundry to the management has always been
friendly and treated them both with respect, dignity and care. I cannot recommend Winifred Dell highly enough.

The care and support from the whole team has been excellent. They have satisfied any concerns we've had through the whole admittance and settling period for my parents. Not only this, they've dealt with many things we weren't even aware of, made both Mum and Dad feel at home and all with kindness, understanding
and a smile on their faces. We couldn't be happier.

This explains my experience at Winifred Dell Care Home apart from the ratings I have given I must also mention the following day we visited they had a singer entertainer. The ladies who arrange these events do an excellent job. All the carers are very good. Showed excellent care, help and consideration,
brilliant. They deserve full credit and hopefully good pay.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Winifred Dell Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.678 for Winifred Dell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (442 Excellents x 5) + (151 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 615 Ratings = 4.678
  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 Winifred Dell Care Home is based on 52 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 52 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.
