My mam who has dementia moved into Dene Grange a couple of months ago from another care home. The move was seamless and she settled in straight away. We are very happy with the care at Dene Grange and the leadership provided by the Manager. The team have an excellent understanding of my mam's needs
and provide a welcoming, warm, friendly, happy and caring home from home. Above all else the most important aspect when choosing a home for mam has been the staffs commitment to care and that is very plain to see. If you are having to make the very difficult decision for your loved one to go into care, look no further.

Mom has been a resident at Dene Grange for nearly 2 years now and I'm so glad this was where I picked for Mom to have her twilight years. The staff are all so friendly and caring, activities and events keep them all entertained, Mom is challenging in lots of ways with her dementia but her carer especially
finds the best way to approach Mom to make sure she keeps hygiene and medication as it should be. The management team are always ready to chat if you have any concerns or need reassurance, I struggle with visiting now as I'm in out if the area and run pubs so can't visit as often as I'd like, I never get made to feel like I'm letting Mom down. The manager will ring me and keep me informed of any changes or updates so I know what's going on day to day. All in all, Dene Grange is a family for your loved ones when you can't be there, don't hesitate in making it your choice

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Dene Grange Care Home

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. It's truly touching to hear how much you value the care and support your mom receives at Dene Grange. Our team strives to create a welcoming and nurturing environment where every resident feels part of our family, and it's wonderful to know that you feel reassured and supported even when you can't visit as often as you'd like. We're especially pleased to hear that her carer has made such a positive impact with her thoughtful approach, and we'll be sure to pass on your kind words to her and the rest of the team. Keeping families informed and involved is so important to us, and we're grateful for your trust in Dene Grange to care for your mum during her twilight years. Thank you again for your lovely feedback-it means so much to all of us!

My mother in law, settled in really well, the staff were very welcoming and took their time to find out what she liked to do and made sure she was happy. We were able to personalise her room and make it more familiar, taking in photos, bedding and some furniture. The staff are very friendly and there
are activities to do as well as help to do things on a one to one basis.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad your mother-in-law has settled in well and feels at home.

My partner has been a full time dementia resident for 5 weeks. She is in a new/refurbished wing. It's spotless and there's no odour that there seems to be in other homes I've visited. Her room is a decent size with WC etc. Food is very good and hot meal at lunch time and tea time. Sandwiches in the
evening as well as mid-morning and mid-afternoon drinks and biscuits. Hair salon available but not been used yet by partner as she keeps refusing a trim! Sizeable lounge and a large tv which has a popular channel as well as usual channels. Cosy dining room too. Staff are very good and caring and seem to handle my sometimes moody and irritable partner with ease! There are activities but none attended by partner as yet. She's still in the settling in stage but I leave her when I visit knowing that she is safe, cared for and fed. I take her into town some days which boosts her mood as she remembers there are shops to spend money in. I'd recommend Dene Grange to anyone thinking of going there for a short stay or full time placement.

I cannot speak too highly enough of the care my husband is receiving at Dene Grange. My husband was moved from a home in Newcastle where the care and treatment was a disgrace. He has settled well more responsive and much calmer. Personal hygiene is carried out with dignity, and laundry is attended to
promptly and I always find him clean and respectable. Obviously, his world has been turned upside down. However, he is now in a safe place. In my opinion, management and staff looking after him care about the residents it's not just a job. They genuinely want to do as much as possible to help those who unfortunately cannot look after themselves.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are deeply touched by your kind words and are thrilled to hear that your husband has settled well at Dene Grange.

My husband has been in Dene Grange for 10 months now and I am extremely happy with his care. As I live quite a distance from Hexham I can only visit once a week so I rely on the staff to ensure he is content, they have not failed me or him. As well as excellent personal and medical care Dene Grange
fundraises to provide a wide range of activities to keep the residents entertained and when I visit there is always a happy friendly atmosphere.

We found Dene Grange Care Home to be a good place for our mam to be cared for. The staff were wonderful. Very caring, friendly and supportive.

Social Services recommended Dene Grange for the care that Dad needed. I can honestly say it was the best decision under the circumstances. The care Dad receives is amazing, and the staff are good in all respects. They kept us up to date with Dad as we do not live locally. The activities that Dene Grange
does with the residents are very good. Dad's 80th birthday was celebrated amazingly. Staff excellent in all that they do.

Dad has been at Dene Grange for well over a year now. He was helped to settle in by the staff very well. Visiting is easy, and we are welcome anytime we want to go and see Dad. He is always well cared for and is clean, well-presented and happy. Dad's care and medical needs are well met, and there is
a good liaison between the home and his GP/specialist. He takes part in activities with other residents, and we get to see those through a Facebook page. The number of staff and residents are just right to make sure care needs are met and the service is personal.

Mum has been a permanent resident in Dene Grange Care Home since January 2022, though was also a resident from March to November 2021. She has dementia and has had her ups and downs with the condition during October. Thankfully she is having a generally good period at present. These changes are all
part of her advancing condition and the staff in the home, who know her well, care for her with the utmost patience and often with genuine affection. Mum will outwardly state that she is "happy" which is so reassuring to hear.

Mum moved into Dene Grange Care Home a few weeks ago, and since the first day, the staff have been amazing with her. Her Dementia meant mum was easily confused and unsure of her new surroundings, the staff took time to care for and look after her and reassure her she was safe and "at home". Her room
is lovely and they do welcome all their residents to bring personal belongings to help settle them in. She is treated with respect and compassion and nothing seems to be too much trouble. I would recommend Dene Grange Care Home to anyone.

When Dad arrived at Dene Grange he had had a very difficult few months. My sisters and I were very anxious about his future. From day one, the staff constantly reassured us and their care for Dad has been outstanding. His needs are very complex and his behaviour can be challenging. Everyone has taken
the time to gain his trust and treat him with dignity and empathy. He is settled and comfortable and any problems have been sorted out immediately. We would recommend Dene Grange as a first-class care home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Dene Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.734 for Dene Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.734

  • 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 Dene Grange 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 12 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.
