My Mother-in-law has been a resident at Dale Brook since October and she is so very proud to tell everyone that Dale Brook is her home.
It is such a comfortable, homely, place. All the staff, in all departments, are what make it the special place it is.
A wide range of activities are available
everyday. All meals are freshly cooked. Lovely, clean rooms. Laundry. Not forgetting the exceptional care, everyone receives.
Lots more is included in the price. No extras. All in!
If you are looking for a home for yourself or a family member, book an appointment for a look around!

I recently needed some respite care after an accident. I am so glad I chose Dale Brook as the staff are so lovely, kind and caring. The facilities are excellent with every need catered for. The entertainment on offer is marvellous, providing you with lots to do in spare moments. I would give Dale
Brook a five star rating; for me, it was a very memorable visit.

My Mother went to stay at Dale Brook, initially for 2 weeks respite on 1st Oct 2025 with a view to return, (if she liked it,) in November whilst I cared for my husband after him having surgery.
She decided after 5 days that she would like to stay. Move in. Live there.
And she has!
Dale Brook is
a very special place and inside are some very special people.
As soon as you enter Dale Brook, you are made welcome and it isnt just your family members home, you are made to feel as if its yours too.
We cannot praise the staff, in every department, enough.
If you are looking for a home from home for someone you love, Dale Brooks door is the one to knock on!

Dale Brook is a modern, beautifully appointed care home run by staff who are warm caring and work hard to create a good atmosphere.
The care is amazing, my father moved in as a recently bedridden man and within days he was able to take short walks, a result solely of the support and care offered. I
am just so impressed. They didnt see him as a broken man but as someone whose quality of life could be improved. He feels and is well cared for.
The staff are cheerful and always welcome me with a smile and an offer of hot drinks.
The buiding is new and was designed around the needs of the residents with bars, cafe areas, library, cine room, garden room all included to keep residents involved and included. The bedrooms are lovely, my father has a door to the gardens and he is looking forward to summer when he can enjoy that fully.
It is more expensive than other local care homes but the combination of care and accomodation make it worthwhile in my view.

Firstly if your view of a care home is a sad rather musty place to sit and sleep think again.
Dale brook is light and bright with lots going on the staff are kind happy but above all competent,the residents are first priority treated with respect spoken with and listened too.
It was my dads first
visit to a care home for respite and he was very reluctant but from the minute he arrived he was treated with genuine care and attention which he loved and he thrived so I did't need to worry at all.
I can honestly say i cannot fault Dale Brook,the rooms are modern and comfortable with everything you need better than most hotels I've stayed in there's also a cinema room and a bar a restaurant area set out beautifully, a lounge and a garden room.
Visitors are welcome to join there loved ones for a meal too which is prepared by cooks in the kitchens on site which I must say is very good.
Thank you not only for looking after my dad but for giving me peace of mind

My mum went to stay at Dale Brooke for a holiday whilst I went away
We call it her Hotel because that's what it feels like a luxury hotel with fab caring people, brilliant chefs and great activities. Mum has dementia and I felt relaxed and happy whilst away.
They went out to a local Christmas
fayre and to the pub for a sing along , had therapy dogs visit and a Filipino dance group . They also had coffee morning with chesterfield footballers to collect toys for hospital
Lots to be involved with and visitors can go anytime day or night .

I had a lovely welcome when I entered the home, staff were really friendly and caring. My friend is having respite care for a few weeks and I could see that she was thriving, enjoying the food and activities and chatting to other residents. Lovely relaxed atmosphere throughout. I was invited to join
in a Christmas card making activity. My friend said her room was lovely but I didn't get round to seeing it.

My Gran is currently at Dale Brook on a long term stay up until at least Summer 2026.
She has dementia, though not currently severe.
The staff speak to her very kindly and have already made her feel welcome and at home.
The building, though strange looking from the outside, is absolutely
perfect within.
The food and drinks on offer is sublime and the activities and very fun.
I would highly recommend this care home to anybody within Derbyshire.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
Although from the outside the building does not look inviting Dale Brook is a wonderful place.
The staff, accommodation and food is superb.
Nothing is too much trouble, they are looking after my mum with care and attention which is all you can ask for. Having
experienced other Care Homes I can honestly say this is the best one I have ever come across.
I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.

This is truly a care home. The staff are all not just working, they care. It is like a 5-star hotel, yes it is! It is also extremely homely, no sitting in circles staring into space. The layout is of a very nice open plan house. The bedrooms are luxurious with lovely facilities and decor. It is the
only place I would let my husband go to.

This is a new residential home that is just establishing itself. My mother chose this over many others due to location but also because of the good impression we had when visiting.
She is staying for a few weeks respite and the staff have been very attentive with daily activities and especially with
her specific dietary needs.
Due to get enjoying her stay so much she has extended it for another week.
The facilities and decor and cleanliness are very good and I visit her regularly whilst she has been there.
No residential home is particularly cheap but it compared favourably to others at the same level.

Dale Brook are looking after my mother-in-law and have been so attentive to her needs.
Dale Brook is spotlessly clean, the food is wonderful, the entertainment and social needs of the residents is second to none.
I highly recommend Dale Brook

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.

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.
