Review from Tony Y (Husband of Resident) published on 11 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to Dalton Court Care Home in March 24. Daphne had lost all mobility and found it difficult to communicate. All staff treated Daphne with love and kindness, with care and compassion.
Whenever we visited we always received a friendly greeting. Staff were willing and able to inform
us of Daphne's condition and they extended the same kindness to ourselves. My wife died on 29th June and the nurses have my grateful thanks for giving me time to say goodbye before they carried out their professional duties. I have no hesitation in recommending Dalton Court to any potential patients.

My husband had a very very bad experience in the home before he was transferred to this one which caused him to be neglected and made his dementia more rapid in progress. Obviously, this caused me and my family a lot of stress and worry. So Dalton Court has made up for a horrendous experience and is
caring and professional. Can't praise and thank them enough. Thank you. Wonderful, Dalton Court staff.

All staff - nursing, carers, admin and housekeeping staff - work hard to provide a caring, safe environment for their residents. They are keen to improve the service if possible.

Just glad she's in this home and looked after. It's the tops, she is settled and just as she can't talk she seems settled in with a group of good carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Care of Dad has been excellent. The family has been looked after with the same care and kindness. Nothing has been too much trouble. Dad has been checked regularly, his personal care has been great and carried out with sensitivity and dignity.
All the staff have been wonderful.
I can't thank the staff
enough.
The family has been informed of any changes to Dad's condition and we've been able to be here and ask anything; being kept informed. The staff have kept our spirits up at a really difficult time.

Review from Brenda C (Wife of Resident) published on 20 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm so relieved and impressed by the good-humoured patience of almost every staff member, from housekeeping to nursing and their concern to acknowledge individual personalities and needs. My husband's personal name is always used and references to his past life are understood. He is never pressurised
to do things, if he is in a mood to resist; a smiling face and gentle encouragement achieves wonders.


After almost 9 months, my heart is still warmed by the affectionate atmosphere created by the staff and the attractive environment. Would there be more staff, and thereby even more proactive one to one interaction.

I was very reluctant at first to use Dalton Court Care Home. I was wrong in my initial assessment. It has proven to be an excellent choice of care for my wife.

During my brothers stay at Dalton Court I am pleased and delighted to report that the care and accommodation that he has received to be exemplary. The facilities provided are excellent and the communal lounge and family visiting rooms are always spotless, tidy and inviting. The garden is well kept and
offers a relaxed atmosphere where patients and visitors are able to enjoy the fresh air together. The menu provided offers a range of choices and the food always looks appetising and well prepared. Above all, the courtesy afforded by all members of the staff, ranging from the management, nurses and care assistants is absolutely first class

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a resident of Dalton Court for 10 months before he died on the 3rd of September 2016. During his residency, he was well cared for by friendly, caring staff in a very pleasant, clean room with a lovely view. Management and staff were approachable and incredibly professional.
During my
father's end of life care my husband and I virtually moved into the home for 3 nights/4 days and apart from being looked after ourselves - food and drink etc - we witnessed first hand the exceptional care and medical care he received during his last days which was a great comfort.
The family feel that Dalton Court and all it's staff should be recognised for the outstanding care provided for my father.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was resident at Dalton Court Care Home from May 2015 until he passed away in August 2016. The care he received from the staff was excellent. He could at times be difficult to deal with as he had zero patience and my late mother spoiled him by giving him his own way. Staff at Dalton Court Care
Home won him over and he would say himself how wonderful they all were. In his later months, he needed nursing care and Dalton Court Care Home were able to provide this. We could not have looked after him at home or given him the care they did. Excellent.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.883) out of 10 for Dalton Court Care Home 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.800 for Dalton Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 4.8
  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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dalton Court Care Home is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083
  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.
