Whilst visiting my father I was impressed with the level of care and support from the whole team looking after my father. Under difficult situations, they remained positive and upbeat, giving my father dignity and value, regardless of his situation. Thank you.

Nothing but praise for Dalton Court, a welcoming and modern home where all staff are pleasant, polite, upbeat, and show utmost respect to everyone. They are always on hand to give any updates and information on our visits. A wide range of activities go on throughout the week along with a great
varied menu. Keep up the good work all.

The staff are very good, patient and helpful and my uncle is checked regularly to make sure he is ok and comfortable. His room is warm, light and airy and overall the home is well decorated and inviting. Every week a programme of activities is delivered to his room and there is plenty going on for
the residents.

We as a family are really pleased with Dalton Court Care Home. The kind, gentle and professional team set the tone for the care staff who are friendly, smiley and happy to help. The staff seem to have convivial working relationships as far as I can see. When there were difficulties getting my
mother's medication, staff went out of their way to help. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated and furnished.

I cannot praise Dalton Court enough!! Clean, well-run, good atmosphere. My experience of staff they are kind, respectful, patient, always bright and cheerful, they engage in activities. Wish all care homes were like Dalton Court. They're all nicely dressed every day (the clients). The staff make
time to talk to each and every one, they comfort and love them as if they were their own grandparents and I have no worries when I leave Brian, I know he is getting well looked after. 10/10

My FIL has been a resident in this home since December 2025. The staff seem friendly and caring. The general atmosphere is always welcoming. There are however concerning features of care that point to a lack of standards in care. Residents don't have routine regular visits from hairdressing or
podiatry unless they are requested. I have never met a care home where this is the case before. The home does not have a dedicated hair salon. Many now do and a visiting hairdresser who ensures every resident gets a weekly hair wash. Not the case in this care home. Unfortunately there is the same lack of care with hearing aids. These are vital for communication with the elderly yet carers seem to be ambivalent towards looking after them and using them where the resident isn't capable of doing this themselves. This is a very basic care need. I feel this is a place where your family member will be well looked after if they can express their needs but where they can't it might be different.

The care and nursing staff are excellent, as is the activity coordinator. They all work extremely hard to create a happy, caring environment. We have noticed sometimes if the day room/lounge is full of residents, there is no carer present. We feel that sometimes the carers are under pressure and
work extremely hard, which makes you question if they are under-staffed, or is their management at fault? On occasion, we have been in at 11 am and Mum hasn't been dressed. I feel family should be able to go in before 10:30 am.

Dalton Court staff are so good with my mam. I know she's in good hands. Nothing is too much trouble. My mam is a challenge (big challenge sometimes) but they treat her with respect, dignity and love and care.

My Dad was admitted to Dalton Court in July 25 he has Vascular Dementia and Parkinsons. The care he receives is very good and he seems settled now. The staff are very good and see to all his personal needs.They are also very good with us when we visit.

I don't have any concerns so far with the care my father has received since moving in. My only concern at the moment is that the heater hasn't worked in his room since he moved in in December 2023, and feel the portable heater plugged in in his room is a health and safety hazard, it's hot to touch
and he could fall over it. This has been mentioned before. Room 27.

My partner was admitted there he was only 64.. nowhere else for him to go.. I had to shower him everytime I went.. (cause he refused)they are supposed to be specialised for dementia he was left walking about with residents with his boxer shorts on no shoes or socks! Police were called 3 times.. he
was handcuffed.. as a result off this he was sectioned! Dont go there.. no duty off care

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.

Excellent care given to my husband and our family when we visited. We were made to feel at home and could see how he kept comfortable and kept his dignity till the end of his life.

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.
