My mother suffers from advanced dementia and her care in Jack Dormand is excellent. She is treated with care, kindness and dignity. I cannot fault any of the staff at the home they are all kind and caring. The facilities and activities are first class. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Mam is so well looked after here. Carers are so caring, they know mam so well. The carers go above and beyond in their care of mam. The place itself has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We are so happy with mam's care.

Must say my mam has improved so much since she came into Jack Dormand Care Home. She has settled well even though she says to us she doesn't like being here, just for something to say! We are more than happy with the care staff. I feel less worried knowing she is safe and looked after at all times.
The nursing care is very good and I'm informed of any health changes etc. They are spot on when treatments are received. Thank you.

Mam has now been in care for just over 2 years. She has settled well into her environment. She is well catered for in all aspects. She has high praise for all staff members and how clean and fresh her new home is. She enjoys all meals and likes to have banter with staff. Its a bit difficult for her
to interact in activities as she is blind so mainly keeps herself to herself. All in all she is well looked after in all her needs 24/7.

Jack Dormand Care Home has been home to my mam in law since June 2024. In that time staff have shown nothing but kindness, compassion and professionalism at all times. Frequent activities keep mam entertained and we are confident she is well cared for when we're not there. Regarding the meals - I was
asked if I wanted to have tea with mam one day and it was superb! Thank you Jack Dormand.

The staff here have taken away all my concerns regarding my mam being in a care home. The personal touch they show to my mam and the family is very good, with everyone interacting in a friendly and courteous manner with consideration to how she is feeling at any given time. The home is spotless, cleaners
are visible every day. Home is nice and warm. Entertainment staff are excellent.

making me feel confident. She is happy, settled and well cared for. I highly recommend this home.

Before visiting Dad at Jack Dormand, I'd had the pleasure of talking to staff members on the phone. Even then, it was clear that, not only was Dad in a place where he is cared about, but that care, was also extended to me. I was told to call whenever, and when I do, they give me updates on how Dad is
doing, with genuine content, rather than generic statements.
I visited for Christmas this weekend, and from the second I walked in, I found myself in the most lovely, family atmosphere. I was made to feel so welcome, with a real home from home atmosphere. I was even treated to some delicious meals, with 5 star service!
I can't thank the staff enough for all they do. Every resident is spoken to with respect and dignity. Staff deliver a tailor made experience to each person and residents are relaxed and happy.
I feel very lucky to know that Dad is shown so much love. It's not easy living far away, I miss him dearly. But I live with zero worries about his care.
They are angels. Thank you.

My mother has been in Jack Dormand for approximately 5 years, I cannot possibly say anything negative about the home, staff and care that she receives. The staff are so caring, friendly, nothing is a bother to them, I'm so happy that my mum is in the home. I know she is well looked after, I never worry
about her as I know she's safe and loved.

I settled here better than I expected. The staff are very nice - I like it when they have time to talk to me which helps to pass the time away.
I like to go to the lounge for the activities which I enjoy, especially the bingo. I've been lucky to go on a few trips and really enjoyed them at Christmas
time seeing all the lovely decorations and having a cuppa with my new friends in the home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Jack Dormand Care Home 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.906 for Jack Dormand Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 Jack Dormand Care Home is based on 32 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
