My nanna was a resident at this care home until recently when she sadly passed away. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care, love and respect shown to my nan and our family, it was unbelievable and I cannot recommend this home enough. Thank you so much again to all the staff, you were amazing.

My nana was a resident at Daneside court for a short time, In that time the manager and her fantastic staff showed so much love, empathy, care and dignity towards my nana and us as a family that we cant thank them enough.
The support the manager and staff gave us as a family was something I've never
experienced before, the genuine love and care they showed us will never be forgotten.
We can't thank you all enough, each and every staff member went above and beyond for not just my nana but our family, my only regret will be that we didnt get my nana to Daneside court sooner.
Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart.

For the past 3 ½ years the love & care given to my father-in-law and his wife at Daneside Court Care Home has been exemplary. He was cared for and treated with the uttermost respect and dignity you could have wished for. My father-in-laws' wife, who visited daily, was made to feel welcome and part of
the family. Well done Daneside Court you deserve 5 stars for your service.

My mum has lived at Daneside Court since November 2017. I have always found the staff and manager very friendly and approachable. The staff obviously care for the residents well and various types of entertainment are provided.
Mum is well looked after and is both safe and happy. It is a big step choosing
who cares for someone and I am glad that I chose Daneside Court.

Words can't describe how brilliant the staff were especially the care given to my dad in the last few hours of his life.
Daneside Court is excellent, well run and I would give the staff 12 out of 10 - friendly and always willing to help. I would highly recommend it.

Dad had been in a couple of local hospitals for nearly 6 months following a catastrophic post-surgical course in May 2016. He was totally bed bound, dependent on 24-hour nursing care. As soon as we visited Daneside Court, in the November of 2016, we knew we had found the right place for him. It is
a relatively new build and in very good decorative order. The atmosphere is very homely and the staff were very professional and friendly. The manager and her administrator immediately gave the impression that the best care of their clients was paramount. Dad settled in very soon and became a favourite of the excellent nursing and care team. He was cared for very well and even on his deathbed, received love and affection from all those that had cared for him over the last 12 months. He died comfortably and with mum at his side in a warm, safe and caring place. That’s all we and he could have asked for. I highly recommend Daneside Court Care Home.

The difficulties in caring for vulnerable residents is not generally known by the average public member. It is only when faced with a family member requiring residency, that all matters need to be correct and in place.


The management at Daneside Court seems to have solved the problem. It starts at

the top with the management and administrative staff sending a very clear message to the carers, nurses and catering staff.
The result is a care home that is working to satisfy the residents and of course the families that are associated.

Dad has been living in Daneside Court since February and needs nursing care.
The care he receives is above and beyond expectations.
His day to day needs are looked after by wonderful carers and nursing staff.
The staff have got to know my dad and they treat him as a member of a big family.
He doesn't
remember their names but they remember his.
Although some days he is unwell, they always try and keep him cheerful.

Nothing to criticise. The manager and all staff are very dedicated to what they do. It's the first time I have been to visit a nursing home, and after two weeks of being there daily for six hours at a time, not only my mum was looked after, I was too! I was offered tea or coffee or something to eat.
The
staff were always friendly.

I want to thank you for all the wonderful care my mum received during her brief stay with you, especially the staff who were on duty on 1st May who were kindness in itself. My mother couldn't have been in a better place during her final days and it has been a great comfort to me and all the family
knowing that, as well as our visits, she was surrounded by a loving family of people, more knowledgeable about these things than any of her family, who cared for her in the most excellent way possible with compassion, patience and understanding.
I had begun to feel that I had become part of your family at Daneside Court and I have missed you all with your cheerfulness. God bless you all.

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.
