My wife has been in Dean Wood Manor for nearly two years now, I am very pleased with the way she is looked after and when I visit she is always presented clean and tidy. Her room is always clean and her bed is clean and changed on a regular basis. The management and staff are excellent. The garden facilities
have just been upgraded and is a joy to be in in summer.

After a lengthy stay in hospital, we as a family decided our dad needed twenty four hour nursing care due to his health and dementia problems. After research, inquiries and looking at several care homes we visited Deanwood Manor. From walking into the home and speaking to staff it was a unanimous decision
that it was the perfect place for him. Deanwood Manor have met all his needs and looked after him like he was a member of their family. The management and all the staff are absolutely fabulous, caring and lovely people. I couldn’t wish for better people to look after our dad.

It is our pleasure to care for your father, as it is all of our residents. We very much appreciate your kind words. Kind regards.

The staff and management go above and beyond. My dad has been so much happier since going into Dean Wood Manor. He's always clean and tidy, well-fed and comfortable, they have bought a smile back on his face, they never walk past him without a wave or a hello. This is something small but means the world
to him. The management are exceptional, they always keep the staff in check and make everything is how it should be.

My mother had Vascular Dementia and was very active being transferred from a temporary stay in another care home to Dean Wood Manor in December 2020. For anyone worried about is this the right place for my loved one, this is the place. Please know the team at Dean Wood are first class, friendly, honest
and always approachable creating a safe space for all the variety of residents that currently reside there. They have experienced event coordinators and events like sing-along concerts to help build a community feel with residents and visiting families. My mother loved every second of her time there.
Sadly my mother succumbed to Dementia and was put on end-of-life care recently passing away. She was a treasured member of the home and loved by all the staff who always had a biscuit and a hug for her and us. The team were always dignified and supportive as my mum passed away, supporting us as well. This is a wonderful home, thank you to all that cared for my mum.

Reply from Jane Davies, Home Manager at Dean Wood Manor

Thank you very much for writing a review. Your thanks will certainly be passed on to the team here at Dean Wood Manor, as they were so invested in delivering the very best of care of your mum. To say she was special to us is an understatement and we all send our heartfelt condolences to you at this sad time. Your comments and ratings will do so much to help other families who are searching for care for their loved ones. Feedback from family members who are very involved in the life of a home is extra special and so helpful to others when they are making such a difficult decision. Kind regards.

My mum has been a resident for over seven years in Dean Wood Manor, and in that time, she has received the best care we could have asked for. Each member of staff has not only treated my mum as part of a family but treated her with the dignity and respect she deserved. As a visitor, we have been treated
with the utmost respect and have been kept informed of everything that has been going on in the home and any issues or concerns that may have arisen with my mum. All the staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome every time we visited.

I have been visiting my friend for some time, I find Dean Wood Manor an absolutely beautiful care home. From my experience, they are so well cared for, all staff are so kind and they treat the residents with dignity and respect. When you enter the home you notice how happy everyone is and how very clean

Dad had to move out of the borough to find a home that could meet his needs. Thankfully, he moved to Dean Wood Manor. The manager and her team are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble, everyone is always friendly and welcoming. We are 100% happy with the care that Dad is receiving. If we were offered
the opportunity to move Dad into another home, within the borough, I would refuse. He is getting the best care available at Dean Wood Manor. Thanks to the manager and her team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My sister-in-law was well cared for at Dean Wood Manor for five years before she passed away recently. She had been suffering from dementia for the duration of her stay and received excellent care throughout this time. Due to her condition, there was no opportunity for me to communicate with her directly
but it was always evident that she was well cared for: always clean, tidy and well hydrated. The manager and staff took a personal interest in her and made every effort to make her comfortable. During the pandemic, I made regular telephone calls to check up on how my sister-in-law was. Every member of staff I spoke to was polite and helpful and made sure that I had up to the minute information. During the last year, there were many times that we were close to losing my sister-in-law but everyone took time to spend with her and keep her as comfortable as possible. Thank you to the manager and all the staff. You have been a source of support and comfort throughout.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Dean Wood Manor

Thank you very much for writing a review for Dean Wood Manor and we send our condolences to you and your family for your loss. Your comments will certainly be reassuring for other families who take the difficult decision to place their loved ones within a care home, especially when the care required is centred around dementia care needs. Your comments regarding the care and attention given by the Dean Wood team are gratefully received, they work so hard to ensure that each resident feels safe and happy. Kind regards.

My husband had dementia and various medical problems; he also had frequent falls. He became too much for me to cope with, so I had no choice but let him go. I chose Dean Wood Manor because one of my old friends was in this one, and I visited her and watched the staff. I have been happy for him to be
under their care.

I can't express how much I appreciate the staff at Dean Wood for coming to my aid after my mam had a serious fall resulting in a broken hip! Both myself and mam was looking after my elderly dad with dementia and we were both struggling before she had her fall. I rang Social Services and after a stressful
weekend. The social worker found Dean Wood and the manager rang me within five minutes, I was so impressed. They listened to me and gave me time to give my dad his tea and when we got there, they welcomed him straight away. Staff helped me take the things out of the car, clothes, medication, personal bathing stuff etc. The communication was excellent, they didn't mind me ringing asking about him. They had a pod set up so I could visit and see how he was, and he joined in with activities and staff took photos and sent them to me. He was there for respite but I would recommend Dean Wood to anyone needing a home for people suffering from dementia and or other nursing problems.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for Dean Wood Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.855 for Dean Wood Manor is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 317 Ratings = 4.855

  • 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 Dean Wood Manor is based on 27 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 27 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.
