My 95-year-old mother went into Dearne Valley after a mini-stroke. I was so worried about her being in a home after being so independent in her own flat. But she loves it, the staff are so caring and very friendly and she loves her cosy room.
I'm happy and can relax knowing she is well looked after
and enjoying herself in her new environment.

The care home is very clean, rooms are very nice, staff are very friendly and approachable and always willing to help with any queries we have. The food is good too (tried on several occasions when visiting my mum!)

My sister and I were looking for respite for my Mum in Dec 2018. We didn't know but she had developed dementia. We went to Dearne Valley and the manager was great. She visited our mother at home and offered her respite (initially) she was lovely, and at that time we were desperate and wanted our lovely
mum looked after. The manager offered reassurance and kindness. I will always remember that.

My father has been in full residency only a few weeks but the care has been very good across all aspects ie staff, catering. They are all very caring and understanding of the needs of my father, especially in welcoming him to the home and getting him settled.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.554) out of 10 for Dearne Valley Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.554 for Dearne Valley Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.554

  • 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 Dearne Valley Care Centre is based on 22 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
