On the banks of the River Dane in Northwich, Cheshire, Daneside Court Care Home offers personalised residential and nursing care to older people.

The welcoming and purpose-built care home has a pretty landscaped garden, which includes a lovely sensory area, and is a favourite spot for many Residents at Daneside Court. This tastefully decorated home also has four sitting rooms, four dining areas and a hairdressing salon – the perfect setting in which to relax and socialise. The bright, comfortable bedrooms and living areas are all accessible by wheelchair.

The dining areas at Daneside Court also offer a welcoming space where residents can enjoy meals prepared by the catering team, welcoming visitors to join them whenever they wish. The team offer a varied menu to ensure all preferences and dietary requirements are catered for.

Care provision at the home is just as high quality as its living space.

My mum is on end of life care but you still made sure she listened to the beautiful Christmas Carols in the dining room, I thank you for that. She was with you before she got admitted to hospital but we knew she would want to be back with you. You all do an amazing job and tonight was a wonderful memory.

I find the staff very good and caring to all the residents that are housed at the home. The residents are engaged to participate in the activities which they seem to enjoy. They seem stimulated because the activity provider is a very caring individual who always has an interest in making the residents
more varied and tailors the needs of the individual but they all seem happy.

I find all aspects of Daneside Court to be excellent, from accommodation to the food provided. My only concern is security when I awoke one night to find another resident standing next to me.

I read reviews for Daneside Court and looked at the CQC rating before my mum moved into the home. I am pleased with the care and kindness she received. The staff are caring and friendly and the home is a pleasant place to live.

I am very pleased with the care and support my auntie receives at the care home. All the staff and management are very pleasant and helpful.
The only negative from my point of view is that communication could be better.

I feel on the whole the care provided to my mum is very good. We did have some teething problems with her care in the beginning, but it has all been sorted now. I do feel like there are not enough carers available for the care that is needed. They want to be able to spend more time with the residents
to bond and just don't have the time to do that, which is a great shame, because the residents would benefit greatly from it.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Daneside Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. The Daneside Court Team are very grateful for your kind words that recognise the care your mother receives. The team have worked tirelessly through the recent pandemic, as have other areas of the health sector. We are constantly reviewing our recruitment offer to attract new people to join us so that we can continue to meet the needs of our residents, but also to find time for those special moments which our residents deserve. HC-One, in partnership with the Local Authority, have recently increased rates of pay for our current colleagues that not only recognise the kind care they deliver but also pay enhanced rates to more experienced team members. As an organisation, we continue to raise the profile of our care colleagues within our local communities to gain the respect and appreciation of the work they undertake, and I am pleased to recognise you as an ally in our mission.

Attended a Jubilee garden party at the home. It had been organised really well, plenty of family members had attended, all having fun, drinks and food were supplied for all (residents/families/staff) and entertainment was uplifting - two singers/raffle/bouncy castle. Residents were attended well by
staff and were encouraged to sing and jig to the music (all had fun). Nothing was too much trouble, some staff had even come in on their day off to help. My only complaint I have is that the garden chairs could do with updating.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are delighted you enjoyed the event we held in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee. It was wonderful to see everyone having a great time; we work hard to ensure our residents happiness and enjoyment. We are especially pleased that since covid, we are welcoming families again to continue to make memories with their loved ones. We appreciate our garden should be a lovely space for residents and families to enjoy and we have ordered new garden furniture to be used when we hold future occasions. We look forward to welcoming you to our next event.

After spending two months here, after coming out of the hospital, I'd say the home, services and staff have been wonderful. I'm lucky enough to be able to go home this week - but I'll miss the three good meals a day plus more.
Congratulations Daneside Court.

My mother has been a resident at Daneside Court, Northwich for nearly two years now. Mother has a lovely room kept spotlessly clean, well heated and ventilated. The food is very good, varied and well prepared and the staff, caring and very attentive.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.403)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.403) out of 10 for Daneside Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.465 for Daneside Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.465

  • 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 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Daneside Court Care Home is based on 12 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.938

  • 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.
