Review from J C (Niece of Resident) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle is in his first month at Dale Brook and has undergone an amazing improvement. His physical health, his socialisation and his mental/communication abilities have improved hugely. The staff have, throughout his stay this far, treated him as part of a 'family'. The social outings have enabled
him to widen and enjoy his twilight years fully. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If you're in the market for luxury care and a warm, welcoming home, I've got some great news to share. My dad has been living here since the day it opened, and he's absolutely thrilled! He loves the delicious food, the fun activities, and most importantly, the friendly and caring people who make it
feel like home away from home. I highly recommend checking it out-you won't be disappointed.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.277)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.277) out of 10 for Dale Brook is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Dale Brook is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.277 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dale Brook is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.152
  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.
