Mum moved to Dearbourne Manor in February 2024 following a long hospital stay after a massive stroke. From the day mum moved in she was treated with loving care from both medical and care teams. Her face would light up and smile when she saw them come into her room The management staff and reception
team cared about us as a family as well. Mum's last 8 months of her life were genuinely the best they could have been under the circumstances and we could not thank Dearbourne enough for that. Truly a first-class facility.

Reply from Marius Golea, Dearbourne Manor Home Manager at Dearbourne Manor

Dearbourne Manor took so much care of my beautiful mum in the last months of her life. It's a wonderful care home. The staff were all kind, loving and extremely attentive. Sadly mum had dementia and sometimes she could be quite 'hard work' for the carers but each and every one of them was simply kind
and caring towards her. I highly recommend Dearbourne Manor as a wonderful care facility. Simply amazing!

Couldn't be happier with Dearbourne Manor. So confident my sister is in good hands. The only concern was it's a shame Dearbourne has not got transport for the residents.

I've worked in many care homes as a mobile hairdresser so when we started looking for Mum to go into one I was delighted to find Dearbourne Manor. Its staff are friendly and helpful. The home is really clean and never smelly, which has been a problem when I've gone into other homes. My one concern is
the food, I can only speak on behalf of Mum but she really doesn't enjoy it. When I've been there and the food arrives she's not happy, it's not hot enough and there seems lots of spicy food which is definitely not for Mum. On a positive, she loves the homemade soups.

Reply from Marius Golea, Dearbourne Manor Home Manager at Dearbourne Manor

We are delighted that you found our staff to be friendly and the home clean, a testament to our team's dedication to creating a comfortable and safe environment. We appreciate your honesty regarding the food, and we understand how crucial meal satisfaction is for the well-being of our Residents. Your insights are truly valuable and thank you for taking the time to discuss and put a plan in place with me, we are committed to making necessary improvements to enhance the dining experience for your Mum. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

My parents have both been here for a while - since opening. They have received the best care I could ever hoped for. The staff are kind and respectful and do an amazing job. I have nothing but a huge appreciation for them all for how they care for my parents. We, as a family, could not wish for them
to be in a better place. So grateful. We are all so pleased to know they are safe and looked after and also such wonderful surroundings. Thank you all.

I've had a very good experience with the care home. Any questions I've asked have always been answered honestly. Also any concerns I've had about my husband's care have always been acted upon, e.g. doctor's visits etc. The staff have always been very kind and caring.

The employees at Dearbourne Manor, without exception, cared for our mother until the 8th of September 2023. The kindness, patience and compassion shown to her during her fourteen-month stay was exceptional and we could not have wished for a better place for her to be. We cannot thank them enough for
their care.

Reply from Marius Golea, Dearbourne Manor Home Manager at Dearbourne Manor

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback. It means the world to us knowing that we made a big difference and impact when caring for your mother. She was a very kindhearted lady who had an impact on all of us and will be remembered dearly.

My father stayed here from February to April 2023. The staff were always friendly and polite, as was the manager. This is a purpose-built brand-new care home. The rooms and en-suite bathrooms are huge. Own toilet, sinks and shower area in each en-suite. The decoration and furnishings are stunning. The
garden area is amazing, beautifully landscaped with water features and beautiful planting. I could sit out there all summer. The food is a high standard. This place is very new, so people have not really discovered it yet. In twelve months it will probably have a very long waiting list.

Reply from Marius Golea, Dearbourne Manor Home Manager at Dearbourne Manor

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are glad and happy that we made a positive difference for your father during his stay at Dearbourne Manor. Your kind words will be passed on to all our staff members as this means a lot to all of us.

We have recently moved our mother to Dearbourne Manor as she was no longer capable of looking after herself. She had become depressed and prone to panic attacks. Thanks to the efforts of all the staff at Dearbourne Manor, she has become calmer and much happier. Initially, we had booked a short-term
placement but as a family, we quickly came to the conclusion that this was a good place for our mum! If you are looking for a good care home for a loved one I would recommend that you book a visit.

The home is always clean, bright and fresh smelling. The staff are always caring and friendly and treat my friend (who has dementia) with the same love and respect that shows a true love of caring for others. His room is always immaculate as is his appearance.

So pleased I picked Dearbourne Manor Care Home. From the minute you walk in the door you're greeted with a friendly smile. From the girls in reception, the cleaners, the carers, managers etc. everyone is so kind.
I really appreciate the fact the staff have taken the time to get to know Dad, enabling
him to settle in very quickly.
I couldn't be happier with Dearbourne Manor and would highly recommend.

Excellent care home with lovely rooms and facilities. My mum was there for 3 months after her previous care home closed, the staff were all very caring and kind and nothing was too much for them. My mum passed away recently and during the last couple of weeks of her life nothing was too much for the
staff and they looked after Mum and the family brilliantly.

My nan had been a resident here for the last 3 months or so. She was in the last stages of dementia. On every visit she was always clean and well presented, her room also was always clean. Whilst visiting her carers would always pop in and check that we were all ok and asked if we needed anything. Carers
were also polite and showed a genuine warmth towards my nan, the care she received was first class. Sadly she passed away the team were kind and respectful to all of us and allowed us as much time that we needed to be with her after she passed. I would highly recommend Dearbourne Manor to everyone. A big thank you to all the staff at Dearbourne Manor.

We realised our dad could no longer live on his own and needed somewhere that would be home from home but with twenty-four-hour care. Dearbourne Manor has provided this for him and we couldn't be happier, they really have thought of everything. The staff are always very welcoming and so lovely with
Dad, which has helped him to settle in really well. His room and ensuite are a generous size so it is easy for Dad to move around. He is safe and being looked after which is very reassuring for us as a family. The food is lovely and Dad is enjoying the variety it has to offer. Dad being happy and cared for is our main priority and we are so pleased that we chose Dearbourne.

Following my fall in April this year, I had the good fortune to be admitted to Dearbourne Manor where the care, accommodation and food have been first class. The most important personnel are the carers, most of who are non-English but whose care and consideration for all residents is of the highest
order. With their care and understanding, I have made increasing progress and gained strength from day to day. One particular problem has been my catheter but the staff are fully conversant with the care for this specific problem. I do not take part in the arranged activities so cannot comment on this.
The management is also of the highest order and being in Dearbourne gives me the greatest confidence in my ultimate return to reasonable health of a 96-year-old.
I am a retired surgeon and fully acquainted with the needs and of the sick and vulnerable.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.247)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.247) out of 10 for Dearbourne Manor 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.802 for Dearbourne Manor is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.802

  • 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 4.445 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dearbourne Manor is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.645

  • 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.
