It was with heavy hearts that we agreed for my father to go into nursing care at Fleet Care Home. He is dying of terminal cancer, but is amazingly bright and cheerful. The staff are so empathetic to his plight and ours. They make him smile and nothing is too much trouble, while at the same time being
professional, which gives us confidence in their care. To visit Dad there is a pleasure, even in such emotionally charged times. The staff also want to know how we are managing too. My dear mum often on arrival is given a coffee and fresh biscuit, she also loves to be able to stay and have a meal with him. The building is very clean, modern and airy, we feel very fortunate that he is there.

Thank you for your lovely review, looking after Dad has been our pleasure. I will ensure this is shared with the team. Thank you again.

Not a typical ‘care home’, (thank goodness), more like a hotel. From reception, where you are always greeted with a smile, to The Cove, where you can sit and have a drink and a chat and on to the dining room and out to the lovely gardens. My partner’s room is large and sunny and he has everything he
needs. He is treated well, is clean and tidy and gets on well with staff. Some staff in particular are very capable, helping him with rehabilitation and encouraging him to do as much as possible for himself. In fact, I would go as far as to say that they want him to recover as much as I do! I am always impressed with how many activities they come up with, from gardening to making seasonal items to bringing entertainers in from outside. They also encourage residents to participate in chair aerobics and chair yoga. Plus animals come to visit and they currently have ducklings, which have actually hatched on-site. I am so, so impressed.
Maybe the meals could be improved though.

Hi Jan, thank you for your review and feedback. This has been shared with the team. The chef has been to see your partner and I know she has cooked him some of the things that he likes.

My nan has been fiercely independent for many years and found it very difficult living at home and trying to manage. She is a proud woman, and giving up her independence and moving to a care home has been quite an adjustment for her. However, the staff at Fleet Care Home have been incredibly sweet,
patient and helpful in getting her settled. They have found ways to make her laugh, they get her involved in activities, and she even had a bunny hopping on her bed which she loved. They are always on hand and happy to answer our questions, and they notice changes in her health and have adapted to her changing medical requirements very well. They have enabled her to live independently and encouraged her to maintain her strength, movement and abilities whilst supporting her and keeping her safe and well.
I can’t thank the staff enough for what they do for her. As relatives, we are always offered coffee and always greeted at reception with the friendliest welcome. Thank you!

I am so glad my wife spent the last few weeks of her life at The Fleet Care Home. One way or another, I have experienced quite a few care homes. This was well up among the best. Above all, the wonderful, committed, friendly and enthusiastic staff made it work for us. They coped with what started as
a short stay and turned into palliative care magnificently! Thank you.

I have been working with the team at the Fleet Care home for two years in support of my mother. I have found the overall experience one of support and collaboration where issues relating to my mother have been dealt with in a professional and empathetic manner. The whole team are easy to approach and
always find a solution in support of my mother who is 91 years of age. The premises are always well presented and clean which is of great importance to my mother and of course to all of the people who visit. Keep going team and well done.

My mother has been safely cared for at Fleet for the last two and a half years. During Covid restrictions, the staff did their absolute best to maintain my contact with her through the use of FaceTime and phone which I appreciated greatly. Since the end of the pandemic, I have been able to visit very
frequently and have always found Fleet very welcoming. Despite her severe dementia and occasional agitation, my mother has been kept safe, calm and cared for. She is still able to enjoy food and cups of tea so it is nice that tea is always on the go and that really nice meals are prepared on the premises. The atmosphere is a happy one and there are many many activities going on all the time for those able to participate. The staff are very friendly and approachable and very affectionate to my mother which has allowed me to feel much less anxious about this difficult stage at the end of her life.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father was the first resident at The Fleet when it opened in April 2020. He was cared for especially well and the staff always went out of their way to make him feel loved. There were several touching moments in the last 30 months; one of the staff bringing in a toy dog which my father loved, and
someone tickling his feet to bring a smile to his face, but the best goes to the staff that made the effort to go in at midnight on his 86th birthday to wish him a happy birthday, he passed away shortly after. The staff always took great care to make my father look well-presented and involve him in the planned activities. We had plenty of personal discussions around my father's care, so we were kept well informed. The reception staff also went the extra mile and made my mother feel very at home during the care home visits. In summary, the Care Home has a lovely atmosphere, it is extremely well presented and has the most wonderful staff.

We made the decision to move both our parents to The Fleet in September following years of home care for our father with Parkinson's and then our mother's diagnosis of Alzheimer's. It is most definitely the best thing we could have done for both of them and we are absolutely delighted with the care
they are both now receiving. All the staff, without exception, have shown great empathy and care and go out of their way to show every resident kindness and empathy. There is always a buzz around the place, as if everyone is happy to be there - aesthetically it is not at all like a care home, more a boutique hotel, and residents are treated as paying guests and not as unfortunate inmates! Both parents are happy, relaxed, well fed, cared for and entertained. Dad is out of bed every day, having previously been left in his bed 24 hours a day at his previous care home - staff have the desire to care for residents on an individual basis and this is what makes this such a special place. Thank you.

My uncle moved into The Fleet in September 2022 as he was starting to struggle to live alone with his dementia and short-term memory loss. The whole experience for both him and me has been made so easy by the wonderful staff, who are all kind, considerate and great fun. My uncle has gone from being
alone and sad for much of the time, to joining in all the fun activities The Fleet provides. He especially enjoys the music events as he is a musician himself. The stimulation has helped immensely. Thank you.

My mum arrived at The Fleet in early October after being discharged from The Beech unit. We had concerns after a previous care home experience, which was terrible but we couldn't be more grateful for The Fleet. From the moment Mum arrived, she has felt comfortable, settled and cared for. All the staff
are so kind, accommodating and caring. The staff are upbeat and incredibly friendly, nothing is ever too much trouble. Mum loves the food and finds all the staff so kind and caring. We could not be more comforted to know Mum is here and finally got to see her happy and well and so content. We cannot recommend The Fleet and all the staff more highly.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for The Fleet Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.759 for The Fleet Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.759

  • b) 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 The Fleet Care Home is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Nick along with Sue runs the Laundry here at The Fleet Care Home in Dartmouth. Nick’s job is to ensure that not only is there plenty of bed and table linen and towels on all of the floors but also that all of the residents have their personal clothes washed and returned to them. It’s an important job and both Nick and Sue feel rather proud of their “part of the ship”, having it run really smoothly. When Nick isn’t collecting and distributing, he likes to try and find the time to stop and chat with our residents.
