A difficult time for me and my husband when we realised that we needed help/care for him. Having found Dryclough Manor what a wonderful, warm, caring place I had for looking after him - super brill emotional care as well because he worried about me. There's not enough words that I can say about the
home and the support they give me as I cried nearly every time because I couldn't look after him. My angels. Thank you.

My mother recently passed away in Dryclough Manor after 2 years of magnificent care. All members of the staff from care staff to cleaners and kitchen staff showed my mother and myself the utmost respect during the 2 years she was here and helped myself through the bad times of my mother passing away.

My father had to go in to care and I placed him in Dryclough Manor and he absolutely loves it he was always saying I've had my life and wanted to die but now he's got a new lease of life. The staff, from management to the carers, cleaners and kitchen staff are fantastic with all the residents. My dad
is always laughing when I go and visit him. I can't thank the Dryclough Manor team enough.

Mum has only been at Dryclough since the end of May. She seems to have settled in well. Dryclough is far superior to where Mum was previously. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.


I have had some issues with the laundry with cloths etc being misplaced. On the whole, I'm very happy

and would recommend Dryclough to friends and family.

Could not have chosen a better place for my neighbour. She has been delighted with her room from the first day. Staff go out of their way to be helpful and pleasant.
The home itself is very appealing with all the new decorating.
I always look on the board at meals for the day. They are varied and
what most people would make for themselves at home.
Definitely a 'home from home'.

The first couple of weeks were a bit daunting for me in the care home and it took some time for me to adapt to being here.
However, I do enjoy living here now.
The staff are always pleasant and treat me with respect.

There is always a happy atmosphere and lots of entertainment. I feel content leaving mum knowing she is safe, happy and venerated.
I would highly recommend it to anyone. The new conservatory is
a great asset.

Dad was reluctant about going into care. Choosing a home would prove to be difficult, however, we knew dad would be happy here the moment we stepped into the home. I was bright, spacious and more importantly, it was caring and homely. The managers and care staff went out of their way to ensure dad was
settled in. The care he receives is second to none and dad has gained weight since coming into Dryclough Manor and said: "he wishes he had done it sooner".

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Dryclough Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.985 for Dryclough Manor is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.985

  • 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 Dryclough Manor is based on 11 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
