Mum needed care following hospital admission with Covid. Dalling House gave a quick and personal response to the request for information. Staff were able to showrooms available via WhatsApp as we could not visit. Also gave info on staffing, activities, care provided and meals. They contacted the hospital
to get current medical notes and to assess if they could meet her needs. On arriving at Dalling House mum was settled into her room which staff had made homely with personal items we were able to take. Mum now very happy and clearly being well looked after as her health has greatly improved. Staff have taken time to send photos which have helped the family greatly. Am very impressed with the communication from home even though they must be very busy. We look forward to mum settling further and taking advantage of all Dalling has to offer. Thank you to everyone involved for their kindness and support.

Reply from Rawinder Basra, Owner at Dalling House

Thank you so much for your kind review. Moving a loved one into a care home is such a big decision to make so we are extremely pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and support our staff have been able to show. Your mum has been a pleasure to look after and get to know and has settled in very well. We look forward to welcoming you to visit your Mum at Dalling House very soon.

Overall I could not have been happier. No one ever wants to make the decision to recommend a relative goes into a care home because they can no longer cope. The staff at Dalling House seem to appreciate this and not only care for the residents but are very supportive of their families too.

Dalling House is a very homely and friendly care home. My sister came to Dalling House just before Christmas 2018. She was made very welcome and soon settled in.

My dad who is a Dalling House resident, is well looked after. In early January he was poorly with a chest infection and Dalling House's staff were excellent in their care of him. He is encouraged to dress in the mornings and to join in activities. There was a problem with his damp wardrobe but this
was promptly remedied. Carers spend time with him which he loves, and now he is settled he is happy and content.

I think it is a very good home, people are helpful and I think in general they all seem quite happy. But I do think they could look at the food and give more choice.

The family are pleased and extremely grateful for the care given to our aunt. She has various medical problems which are treated efficiently and with dignity.
On our last visit, it was good to see residents taking part in bingo and a quiz.

My mother is treated with respect and dignity. She celebrated her 100th Birthday in Dalling House, they provided a wonderful tea and entertainment.

My sister has been in this home for a short while and I have noticed a difference in her. She is speaking and walking a lot better and joins in the activities where possible. The staff are really pleasant and do anything to help these people. I feel happy she is in such a nice home.

My first impression of Dalling House was a very homely friendly atmosphere. We were greeted with smiles and handshakes and offered refreshments. My mother-in-law was only at the home for 4 months but in that time she was treated with dignity and respect and very well looked after, all members of staff
loved to do things for this person. Nothing was too much trouble and if I had any problems with my mother-in-law I only had to ask any member of staff or management and they would help me all they could. Every time we visited the home, we were always made extremely welcome.

I made a very good choice choosing Dalling House for my mother. She's very happy there. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Everywhere is clean and tidy. There seems to be plenty of activities. The residents are very well looked after. I've never had any complaints and give the care home 10 out
of 10.

My friend has recently moved here. The staff have supported the "settling in period" very well.
Her personal hygiene has improved. They became aware of her particular needs and wants very quickly.
I was much relieved having her here as I was worried about her safety at her home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.472)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.472) out of 10 for Dalling House 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.772 for Dalling House is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 79 Ratings = 4.772

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dalling House is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 7 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.
