I visited my friend today. I was in the home for 90 minutes and during that time I met several caregivers. Every single person I met was kind and gentle. My friend is well cared for, her room is perfectly clean and I am relieved that she is there being looked after so well. My thanks go to everyone
who works there ensuring the well-being of the residents.

Care of service users is given with love and care. Residents are looked after with dignity as a top priority. Meals are top quality and the rooms are clean and spacious.
It's very reassuring to have permanent nursing staff as part of the care team. All carers are trained to a high standard.
I'm so
pleased and relieved in the knowledge that my husband is loved and cared for by the staff at Dane View Care Home.

My mum was moved to the care home at very short notice. The staff made my Mum so welcome. Her room was all prepared beautifully and everything had been thought about including some flowers. All the staff came and introduced themselves to us and Mum. On what was a very traumatic evening I left feeling
Mum was in safe hands.
It is still early days but the help and support we have received has been amazing. I feel my mum will be well looked after whilst navigating this journey.

My Mum entered this care home in February-April 2024 after a fall at home and hospital care. When I entered this care home without an appointment to see what it was like, I was amazed, it was clean, tidy a buzzing atmosphere of happiness, the staff all greeted me as if they’d known me for months, it
was such a friendly atmosphere and everybody who works there took time to get to know my Mum and her needs. With being blind and not being able to stand or walk, this became quite a worrying time for my Mum. But with care and attention from each member of staff, she soon became comfortable and happy with each of them. The care is the best care I have known within the care home system, my Mum has been in several for respite over the last few years and this care Home to me is outstanding. All members of staff would take time to talk and listen I wasn’t just another relative entering to visit, they always made me feel welcome and I cannot recommend this care home enough.

Reply from Rebecca Thompson, Manager at Dane View Care Home with Nursing

My mum has been a resident at Dane View for over 4 years now Although she took a long time to settle, she seems happy and comfortable now. The standard of care meets my mum's needs. My mum has built up a good rapport with the majority of staff here. Staff are friendly and helpful although their response
time could be better at times. I currently have no issues with my mum's care. I would recommend taking residents out in the grounds more often.

Reply from Rebecca Thompson, Manager at Dane View Care Home with Nursing

Thank you for your review of our home and lovely kind words. We will take on board your suggestion of accessing the garden, the gardening club are currently very busy planting seeds and developing allotment space to grow our very own vegetables, watch this space for exciting activities planned within the grounds of the home.

My husband transferred to the Butterfly Unit at Dane View in December 2022. All the staff made him feel very welcome and comfortable giving him space to adjust to his new surroundings. The staff have been so patient and caring with him, building his trust with them, has enabled him to engage positively
and for them to care for all his needs. The staff are always willing to talk to me particularly when I need a shoulder to cry on and talk to me about my husband's day and activities. They make sure his changing needs are assessed continuously so that they are providing the best possible care at all times. The home manager recently allowed me to use a room at the home so we could celebrate my husband’s birthday with family and friends, this was so appreciated. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile to support my husband and our family. Thank you to the manager and all the staff particularly in the Butterfly Unit.

Reply from Rebecca Thompson, Home Manager at Dane View Care Home with Nursing

At Dane View, we are building a specialist team who understand the nuances of dementia and can support both residents and their loved ones with compassion. It means a lot to the team that you recognise their support and they will always be there for you.

My husband arrived to a very warm welcome, as did I. His room is very spacious with plenty of storage and an en suite. The staff are very helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble. The management again are very helpful and they are a hands on management team, they do not just stay in the office.
I would say, all in all, this care home is excellent and very well managed.

Reply from Rebecca Thompson, Group Marketing Manager at Dane View Care Home with Nursing

Thank you so much for your kind words, which mean a lot to my team. As part of the settling in process please bring in some more of your husband's cherished items and pictures so we can continue to make his room as homely and familiar as possible. We look forward to your next visit.

My auntie has Alzheimer's and is 98. She has been treated with dignity and respect. The staff have been accommodating when we visit (especially as we are two hours away) my cousin visits weekly. We have been kept informed of her condition at all times (especially during end-of-life care). Whilst her
room is adequate, en suite facilities would be helpful. My auntie has been happy here and loves the staff she feels secure and safe.

Reply from Rebecca Thompson, Home Manager at Dane View Care Home with Nursing

Thank you for your kind review during this difficult time for you and your family. We endeavour to offer end of life care in a compassionate way, taking into account the wishes of families. Your comments are certainly appreciated. I'm sorry that we cannot offer one of our en suite rooms at the moment, as we are near to capacity and those rooms are currently taken.

My mum moved to Dane View from a previous home in October 2022 and her care has been really good, she mixes with other residents everyday. She is well looked after, the staff are all friendly. The home is always clean and tidy.

The management and all the staff, including cleaners to the nurses, were fantastic. They all treated my relative with dignity and respect, they were kind and nothing was too much trouble. They all made her feel as at home as possible and right up to the end of her life were fantastic. I would recommend
Dane View, especially for end of life care, highly.

I really think this is a beautiful home with lovely staff. The staff are very chatty, which is really good and nice. I spoke to the manager who was so helpful and so lovely, sorted things out as soon as possible for my mum. My mum is happier there than the other home she was in, so thank you to the
staff and manager for looking after my mum so well.

My mum was taken into Dane View in November 2020. The care she has received has been exemplary. She was treated with respect, kindness and dignity until her last day. Management and staff always attentive, easy to talk to and friendly. Thank you to all.

We placed Mum in a care home when her dementia became so advanced she needed full-time care. Mum lived at Dane View Care Home in Leicester for over two years and my brother and I could not have been happier with our choice and would highly recommend Dane View to friends and family. I can't praise the
staff highly enough, they have been absolutely amazing, so patient and caring with Mum and supportive of the family. On top of this, the home is always spotless which was very important to Mum.

Mum has been at Dane View since August 2020 as in most cases like ours we were unsure where would be the best place for her care and well-being, for her early-stage dementia. We have been so pleased with our choice, as the staff and especially the management has given mum the upmost care possible 24/7.
Dane View is a wonderful care home, well equipped and a fantastic place where we know mum is extremely happy.

It has been a challenging time for both staff and residents but they have come through with flying colours - and no covid 19. An achievement in itself. This reflects the care and attention to the safety of everyone. My stepmother has been so well looked after and the staff couldn't have done more for
her. She was, like the other residents, treated like a member of a large, caring family. Sadly she died recently but they were with her and looked out for her always.

My mum was end-of-life at Dane View, and the dignity, care and respect she received were second to none. The carers and nurses went the extra mile giving her a bouquet of flowers for her room in her final hours. They showed us both so much love and kindness, they were like a family to us both when mine
couldn’t be with me, and I can never thank them enough. They continue to care for my dad who has suffered a breakdown on top of his dementia due to my mums passing; they could have not received better care and thoroughly recommend the entire staff at Dane view.

Thank you for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to have had the opportunity to look after your mum during her last few months, what an incredible brave lady.

What can I say about Dane View and its staff, nothing short of excellent. At a particularly dark time, when both Dad in law (dementia), and Mum in Law (terminal cancer/complications from) both had to be placed in care at the same time, Dane View accepted and placed them where they could be together,
in great rooms. Mum received wonderful care until her sad passing recently, by all staff involved, and Dad continues to receive excellent care. Also, my wife has had continued support and friendship from day one. Great staff, accommodation, food, facilities, activities, a very positive vibe and calming atmosphere – very unlike other care homes we visited. And for saying that Dane View has only recently opened, this really is a great achievement. Thank you! A++++

Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We are fully committed here at Dane View to deliver the best possible care to all.

My stepfather went into Dane View for a short time before he passed away in December. The care and respect of the management and staff was very kind. The nurses looked after him well as he had some complex medical needs which they supported. He had a very calm environment for his short time there and
the cleanliness of his room and the home itself was second to none. Thank you to all the management and staff for your kind care of my stepfather and the support of my mother.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) out of 10 for Dane View Care Home with Nursing 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.729 for Dane View Care Home with Nursing is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.729

  • 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 Dane View Care Home with Nursing is based on 11 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
