The staff are absolutely brilliant, so friendly, helpful and jolly. The home is clean and very well run. The food is very good and nothing is too much trouble. Good atmosphere, parking is good. The rehabilitation isn't as intensive as I would have liked for my husband but they were very caring.

My dad was discharged from the hospital to Darnall Grange Care Home into a rehab bed. The staff team all made the effort to care and meet all of Dad's personal and medical needs. Dad became a resident in Sept/Oct and had his final days there. Dad was happy and safe and my sister and I were also cared
for by all staff which helped us enormously. We will be forever grateful to the team there. We cannot thank them enough.

My husband has been a resident at Darnall Grange Care Home for 8 months now. I believe that under the excellent care manager, the team provide a high standard of care to the residents. I visit almost daily and have observed genuine kindness and consideration by the carers. The staff are welcoming and
I am always offered a drink. The staff encourage families to dine with the residents which I do on a regular basis. The food is freshly prepared and varied. A big thank you to the whole team.

A good friend of mine has now been in Darnall Grange for six months. When asked now he found it he said " I am sometimes lonely but the care from the staff is excellent". The outstanding feature of Darnall Grange for me is the friendliness of the staff and the respect and consideration they show to
both residents and their visitors. I wish all nursing homes were like Darnall Grange.

My mum has been a resident for two years. From the very beginning, all the staff made her as comfortable as possible, My wife's grandmother had previously been a resident and had a comfortable stay at Darnall Grange as well. Therefore we had no hesitation in choosing Darnall Grange for our mum.

Although my room was very clean, the commode was not cleaned every time I used it. Also, I had a bath (which was marvellous) but the transfer seat had poo on it which I found disgusting. Some of the carers were not trained in that. Nobody came to me telling me about any activities which I would have
responded to as I was spending all day in my room with the exception of physio. Having said that all the carers/nurses were on the whole great and so were the physio. Just need to get the commode sorted. I would recommend them.

My brother has been in the care home for about 3 months now. He is happy and his needs are met. The care and attention given to him by the staff is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. On Valentine's Day, they organised a care and special meal for him to share with his amazing wife. They treat
him with respect and understanding. Watching the staff with other residents, I can see this is across the board. The food is well cooked and everywhere is very clean.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Darnall Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.789 for Darnall Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (491 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 558 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 Darnall Grange Care Home is based on 47 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 47 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.
