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.

The varied activities programme offers a range of things for people to get involved in, but they are equally welcome to enjoy the peace and quiet the home offers when they prefer.

Focusing on personal wellbeing, the team also encourage residents to play an active role in the community outside of the home. Arranging activities and events with local schools, businesses and charities in the Northwich neighbourhood offers plenty of opportunity to meet new people and feel a part of the wider community.

I visit my friend who is a resident at the home every week. I find it welcoming and friendly. My friend always speaks highly of the care received. The home is always clean and the staff always appear happy.

First impression on entering - warm, friendly, attentive. Care first class - staff always on hand and efficient. Home keeping services excellent - clean, fresh like we would not know it was a residential home. Meals appetising, hot and tasty, all diets and resident choices catered for. The standards
start with the head person, here you can tell that the manager sets standards that are expected to be an example to others. The day to day social activities are well planned and meet residents needs. Overall - residents come first, second and last. Courtesy and empathy are obvious, a place you would want your loved one to be.

My father has been given first class care, since moving into Daneside Court. His medication has been reviewed with the input from staff. As a consequence his health and overall wellbeing has improved. He has been encouraged to join in activities and is walking again with the use of a frame and staff
and support. No problem is ever too much for the staff, their care and kindness is second to none.

I have recently visited a family friend at Daneside Court. I was made to feel very welcome by the staff. You hear so much bad press about care homes generally that I felt I had to write about a positive experience I had. It really felt like a home from home.

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.
