Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Had my dad in for respite after a fall at his home. What can I say about Dearne hall. All staff were fantastic with my dad and helped him with all his needs and care whilst he was helped get his confidence back home.
He enjoyed joining in with activities whilst he was there and having fun with the
staff and other residents.
I thought he was looked after 100% and wouldn't hesitate having him stay there permanently when the time come .
Keep up the excellent work guys!

I have experienced care and kindness as a 'respite' resident. I have grown to admire their hard work. Has been good to get to know the other residents too. It has been a welcome few weeks in my recovery from three hip operations.

I cannot praise the home and staff enough for the care given to my dad. From the 1st meeting we were made to feel comfortable. Everything was explained to us. We felt staff listened to our concerns about leaving our dad in their care, we were given time to go through Dad's likes and dislikes. They spoke
to Dad despite his dementia and included him in the conversation. When visiting the home, the one reasuring thing was that no matter which member of staff we spoke to they could tell us what kind of day dad had had. All staff were friendly but profesisonal, they always had time for you. Dad enjoyed his stay in the home, and we would not hesitate to take him again for respite and permanent care if this was in his best interest. We want to say thank you to all staff, we were very grateful for their care and support in what was a difficult time for us as family.

My mother has been in Dearne Hall Care Home for 18 months and has received the best care you could wish for. From the moment we looked round and saw how clean, modern and organised the home was we knew that it was the right place for Mum. She has loved the activities such as, going to a pub for lunch,
visiting a local garden centre, a day at the seaside plus fish n chips, games day including playing table tennis and many many more. Mum made new friends and loved the carers. We would fully recommend Dearne Hall Care Home.

Those on the floor I visited were particularly helpful, happy and couldn't do enough for us. The knowledge they had of their residents was amazing. They were very understanding and respectful. They have such a tough job (one I could not fathom doing myself), and she acted above and beyond. Every staff
member I met was courteous and helpful. The facilities were clean, well kept and simply stunning. Each resident appeared to be very well cared for.

Dearne Hall Care Home is a very friendly place. I always feel welcome when I visit my friend. Everyone is so helpful and supportive and any questions or requests are listened to and responded to straight away. It's been difficult for my friend to make the move into a care home but all the staff have
made it easy for her to settle. I know that she is getting the best care possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was cared for with respect care and dignity. They staff service and attention was exemplary. Dad had enjoyed the last 10 months in your care and it gave his family peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. It was his home for that period and it felt like it. When Dad's health deteriorated, your
staff were there to attend to his every need. Finally, he died with me and the night staff with him. The day staff attended to my dad, washing, dressing and even giving him a shave after his death. Even in death, dignity was shown to him and the staff were there to support the family.

My Mum was placed into Dearne Hall initially on a temporary respite basis, all the staff made her feel so welcome, she was treated with much love, care and respect. Her room was lovely, bright and clean. Mum loved the food at Dearne Hall and would tell us every day what she had eaten. There’s regular
entertainment there and we found mum more than once up dancing and singing with staff and residents. Mum returned home to her bungalow after a few weeks but missed everyone so much, after help from the management mum was able to return on a permanent basis and is loving it, we are also very relieved to know she is safe and secure and being well cared for. We can pick her up anytime and take her out and always made to feel so welcome on her return. Thank you all at Dearne Hall can’t praise you enough. You made a very difficult decision for mums wellbeing much easier and gave us the confidence she’s in great hands.

I can’t rate this home enough, my grandma moved in about a year and a half ago and from the start, the staff have been amazing. We were never worried she wasn’t being looked after and whenever we have visited the staff have told us all about the activists and trips they’ve done and what my grandma has
been doing. We know she’s safe, well cared for and is in the hands of the lovely ladies on her floor. Me and my Mum can’t thank you enough!

Took Dad to Dearne Hall Care Home today via emergency placement for his safety. Greeted with smiles and very comfortable and clean surroundings. The staff were very welcoming and happy to show us around. Dad was taken to his room which I’m sure he appreciated due to him being tired and arriving at 9pm.
The room was spot on, he thought he was on holiday and with reassurance of the great facilities on offer and the prompt checks on his health he was snug as a bug by the time I rang to check on him. An absolute reassuring thought as he’s a stubborn old miner lad. The staff appeared courteous and relaxed which is appreciative as I know these people are extremely busy. Look forward to hearing how he got on after a comfortable night. Review is based on the overall experience and information on arrival and won’t be changed from excellent unless required.

Mum has been in Dearne Hall Care Home for four years, the hardest thing we had to do.
The carers are angels everyone of them. Always on hand to chat about any worries we have about Mum.
I watch them when they are connecting with a service user and the compassion they show on their face is genuine.
I love everyone of them. They are great with Mum which is reassuring to us.
I recently recommended the care home to my friend who had to put her mum in care she told me I was right about Dearne Hall it was the best home she’d ever seen.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Dearne Hall 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.847 for Dearne Hall is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.847
  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 Dearne Hall is based on 16 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
