Those on the floor I visited were particularly helpful, happy and couldn't do enough for us. The knowledge they had of their residents was amazing. They were very understanding and respectful. They have such a tough job (one I could not fathom doing myself), and she acted above and beyond. Every staff
member I met was courteous and helpful. The facilities were clean, well kept and simply stunning. Each resident appeared to be very well cared for.

Dearne Hall Care Home is a very friendly place. I always feel welcome when I visit my friend. Everyone is so helpful and supportive and any questions or requests are listened to and responded to straight away. It's been difficult for my friend to make the move into a care home but all the staff have
made it easy for her to settle. I know that she is getting the best care possible.

Dad was cared for with respect care and dignity. They staff service and attention was exemplary. Dad had enjoyed the last 10 months in your care and it gave his family peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. It was his home for that period and it felt like it. When Dad's health deteriorated, your
staff were there to attend to his every need. Finally, he died with me and the night staff with him. The day staff attended to my dad, washing, dressing and even giving him a shave after his death. Even in death, dignity was shown to him and the staff were there to support the family.

My Mum was placed into Dearne Hall initially on a temporary respite basis, all the staff made her feel so welcome, she was treated with much love, care and respect. Her room was lovely, bright and clean. Mum loved the food at Dearne Hall and would tell us every day what she had eaten. There’s regular
entertainment there and we found mum more than once up dancing and singing with staff and residents. Mum returned home to her bungalow after a few weeks but missed everyone so much, after help from the management mum was able to return on a permanent basis and is loving it, we are also very relieved to know she is safe and secure and being well cared for. We can pick her up anytime and take her out and always made to feel so welcome on her return. Thank you all at Dearne Hall can’t praise you enough. You made a very difficult decision for mums wellbeing much easier and gave us the confidence she’s in great hands.

I can’t rate this home enough, my grandma moved in about a year and a half ago and from the start, the staff have been amazing. We were never worried she wasn’t being looked after and whenever we have visited the staff have told us all about the activists and trips they’ve done and what my grandma has
been doing. We know she’s safe, well cared for and is in the hands of the lovely ladies on her floor. Me and my Mum can’t thank you enough!

Took Dad to Dearne Hall Care Home today via emergency placement for his safety. Greeted with smiles and very comfortable and clean surroundings. The staff were very welcoming and happy to show us around. Dad was taken to his room which I’m sure he appreciated due to him being tired and arriving at 9pm.
The room was spot on, he thought he was on holiday and with reassurance of the great facilities on offer and the prompt checks on his health he was snug as a bug by the time I rang to check on him. An absolute reassuring thought as he’s a stubborn old miner lad. The staff appeared courteous and relaxed which is appreciative as I know these people are extremely busy. Look forward to hearing how he got on after a comfortable night. Review is based on the overall experience and information on arrival and won’t be changed from excellent unless required.

Mum has been in Dearne Hall Care Home for four years, the hardest thing we had to do.
The carers are angels everyone of them. Always on hand to chat about any worries we have about Mum.
I watch them when they are connecting with a service user and the compassion they show on their face is genuine.
I love everyone of them. They are great with Mum which is reassuring to us.
I recently recommended the care home to my friend who had to put her mum in care she told me I was right about Dearne Hall it was the best home she’d ever seen.

Some issues with mother's mobility (walking). She cannot do this activity but mother says a person says she can do it, and also has never refused any treatment from a doctor but says on her record that she had? I've not seen the records, only mother's say so, but overall she's very happy with the care
she receives here. I have no concerns with any treatment or care I have witnessed on our visits or talking to others.

Reply from Joanna Boswell, Manager at Dearne Hall

Thank you for taking the time to review Dearne Hall and we are pleased that you rate our overall experience as excellent. We will be happy to discuss your mother's care directly at a mutually convenient time.

My mum has been in Dearne Hall for just over a year now and has settled in very well. She has gone from being unsettled and confused to being calm and settled. The staff at the home are amazing, they are very caring and sensitive to my mum's needs, nothing is too much trouble. The daily activities are
very well planned and my mum loves to join in. All staff keep you informed of any changes or hiccups my mum may have. The food in the home is lovely, well prepared and always smells lovely. All in all, I can't praise the staff enough for the great job they are doing.

My mum spent her last few weeks at Dearne Hall, the Deputy Manager and his staff on floor 1 were amazing, the care and dignity, respect that was given to my mum and our family was above and beyond all expectations, my sisters and I practically moved in for 5 days and nights to be with my mum in her
final days. The staff, several in particular, were absolutely amazing and kind they really cared about my mum and us, such a lovely home where families can be reassured that their loved ones are receiving the care they need. Thank you to all the staff, the ones I can't remember the names of but everyone on floor 1 for the loving care you showed my mum, you should all be very proud of yourselves.

My mother was admitted to Dearne Hall from hospital and has been there just over a month. Before moving to Dearne Hall she was deteriorating rapidly being unable to care properly for herself. Visiting carers were very good but she really needed more support. In Dearne Hall she has 24 hour high quality
care and has started to mix with the other residents so has company and there are often arranged activities/entertainment. All the staff seem excellent and we are able to relax knowing that she is safe and cared for.

My mum has been at Dearne Hall only seven months and I am extremely pleased with the care she receives. Nothing seems to be any trouble for the staff in doing things for my mum. She always looks clean and tidy and has her nails and hair done on a regular basis.
The home is very clean and very homely
and we as a family are very pleased she is where she is.

My dad was placed at the home during the Covid pandemic. It’s been a difficult year for us as a family having to make the difficult decision to place dad in care due to the rapid deterioration in his cognition. The safety of his well-being was our main priority and having placed him into a lovely caring
environment has helped in our coming to terms with his condition.
Even though our visits have been limited Dad has always appeared to be clean, dry and well looked after. Staff are always friendly and caring and happy to answer any questions.
We are kept updated on any key issues. We are looking forward to being able to build on our relationship with staff once restrictions are lifted.
It’s hard to complete the options as we have very limited experience in observing what is being asked due to not being able to access the home due to covid restrictions.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Dearne Hall 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 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 4.923 for Dearne Hall is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 Dearne Hall 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, 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.
