My Mum stayed at Dashwood Manor for two weeks in February. From the start, she was made to feel very welcome by all the staff and fellow residents and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The care she received was first-rate, she felt safe and secure, and she particularly enjoyed spending time in the coffee
lounge and library. Altogether her experience was excellent, and we would have no hesitation in revisiting on another occasion.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about mum's and your experience at Dashwood Manor. It was lovely to see mum make herself at home and make full use of all the facilities at Dashwood Manor. It was a pleasure to get to know mum, and we hope to see you both soon. Please pop in for a drink and a cake when you are passing. Take care. Thank you for your time. Many thanks from the whole team at Dashwood Manor

My great experience goes back not just for March this year but in fact since my Mummy has been in the care of Dashwood. The carers always go above and beyond with their care, their entertainment, keeping me and my sisters updated on all up and coming events and meetings. The care is like I never imagined,
so caring, delicate, preserving dignity where possible, being a friend to hold Mummy's hand when needed and also there for us relatives too. The care home is immaculate in presentation. Right from reception through to the parts of the home that I frequent weekly, all staff have a smile for us and a chat if they can. Recently my Mummy had her wish come true, Dashwood and my sisters and I went to Crufts, a brilliant day out and Mummy's carers were amazing, Mummy had a perfect day. I am so happy with the care Mummy is receiving and long may it continue. Thank you Dashwood for everything you do.

Reply from Leahanne Wilkinson, Home Manager at Dashwood Manor

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such wonderful feedback about your experience of Dashwood Manor. I know the whole team were emotional at mum's excitement for her wish to visit Crufts. The day was made so special with you and your sisters experiencing the day with her. The wishing tree shows that older age and dementia are no boundaries for fulfilling wishes. We want peoples time with us to be as fulfilling as possible.
At Dashwood Manor Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one, from the reception team, housekeeping, kitchen and care colleagues. Our aim is to ensure that Dashwood Manor feels like home not just for the residents, but relatives and friends too.


Thank you I will pass on your compliments to the whole team. From the whole team at Dashwood Manor.

My mother's stay was pleasant, the staff were helpful, pleasant and supportive. The facilities, for example the hairdressers and coffee shop, were a big asset. The whole care home is well-presented, clean and has a happy atmosphere. She felt safe and secure. The food could be improved with a little
imagination but was adequate. The dining room was very well presented. She enjoyed her stay and had conversations with other residents and staff, although more stimulating activities would have been welcome.

My mother was a resident at Dashwood for nearly 3 years. She went there, initially for some respite, while waiting for her warden controlled flat to be ready. Unfortunately, she was unable to cope there, and moved into Dashwood permanently in May 2022. While she was there, she engaged with many of the
wonderful staff there. I believe she left them with a strong and lasting memory of her. As a regular visitor, I myself cannot praise the staff highly enough, particularly during her final few days and weeks. They looked after me as well as her and I never felt on my own with my emotions.


The facilities at Dashwood are very good and there's always a friendly face and some delicious baked goods on offer. I would love to single people out for special mention but don't want to leave anyone out. Those who went so far above and beyond know who they are and how much we appreciated them.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a positive review about your experience at Dashwood Manor. It was a real pleasure to know your mum, I have missed our chats about cats and camping. Mum certainly enjoyed many of the activities, and it was lovely to grant her wish to have a tattoo of her beloved cat. We are are pleased that you felt welcomed in Mum's home, when ever you visited. Take care, you are always welcome. Many thanks from the whole team at Dashwood Manor.

My aunt has been at Dashwood Manor for just over 2 years and she is very happy there; her every need is catered for. The staff are so caring, not just to my aunt but to family members too when we visit. They respect her wishes if she doesn't want to join in on the wide range of activities laid on but
they also know which activities she'd like to attend. Housekeeping is exceptional, catering is very varied and good quality and the nursing staff are very attentive to her needs. The two Receptionists are always very welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
All in all, I can't praise and thank Dashwood Manor staff enough; I know my aunt is in very good hands and is happy.

I cannot tell you how happy my family and I are with Dashwood Manor Care Home in Basingstoke! The minute we entered, it felt so homely. It's just beautiful outside and in - sunny, happy and well-run. What really makes Dashwood Manor different, however, is their staff, who do a wonderful job. All the
staff, from the nurses and carers to the kitchen and cleaners are so sweet, caring and committed. They treat my dad, with courtesy and dignity, and they really do want him to be well.


My dad is treated very well. He's safe, comfortable and happy at Dashwood. They do whatever it takes to treat him like he is special. The food is absolutely great at Dashwood Manor. Dashwood Manor is a very special facility where residents are treated with respect and care. And I have to say, for anyone considering a care home in Basingstoke, Dashwood Manor is a great choice. They've done a lot to help my dad, and we can't thank them enough for their exceptional treatment and care.

Since Dad arrived at Dashwood Manor mid August this year, I really cannot express my gratitude to all the care staff overseeing dads needs. It has been an extremely tough few months but the relief knowing dad is now well cared for and I can do my daily visits back to being his daughter again, is priceless.
Everyone
is very kind and willing to answer any questions we might have and we are always greeted with a smile.
The variety of meals cooked fresh every day are superb along with the complimentary coffee/cakes that are in reception. Dad has never eaten so well!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dashwood Manor and I'm glad dad gets to call this home.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave Dashwood Manor such positive feedback. It is lovely to see and hear that dad has made Dashwood Manor his home, and you feel you can be his daughter again. It is very important to us that all visitors feel welcome when they visit their loved one or friend in their home. I will let the Chef and his team know that dad is enjoying the food, and the array of cakes and savouries on offer in the cafe for residents and visitors, we all know how important tasty food is in our lives.

My mother has Alzheimer's and has been a resident for 2 years. As a family, we can see that she is happy and very well cared for. Dashwood provides regular activities for the residents that can be tailored to their needs. Who would believe that an 84-year-old could go ice skating in a wheelchair and
have the time of her life? That is a picture I will keep. The staff are friendly and willing to answer any questions I have. I am kept updated regularly on her health and can access/request a copy of her records at any time. I also know that they will continue to support our family as my mother's disease progresses. Dashwood truly is a home.

Overall we are very pleased with the care our father receives at Dashwood. However we were dismayed with the content of his recent care plan review. It was inaccurate in many areas and we were compelled to put our concerns into writing. We received an immediate apology and the inaccuracies have now
been addressed and actions put into effect. The nursing staff are extremely caring and supportive of our father and we are very pleased we chose Dashwood among the five other homes we reviewed.

My mum has been in Dashwood since January 2022. I can honestly say that Mum has flourished since going to Dashwood. I am very aware of all the departments and people involved that it takes to achieve this.
I expected at some point that Mum would say she wanted to come away - this has never happened.
Mum loves her suite and is very content. I would also say that this is no mean feat. Mum never wanted to go into a home, but fortunately, Dashwood was built in her local area.
As Mum has had Alzheimer's for nine years, staying local helped. I always said to Mum it is more like a five-star hotel, and it is. Mum does see certain members of staff as family, and for Mum, that is an enormous accolade. I can see why.
I am beyond grateful that many of the staff, including the manager, have been there from the start. For me, knowing Mum is, and she quotes, 'happy' to relatives is invaluable. I know that Mum is always in safe hands, and I have no hesitation in stating how amazing Dashwood is to anyone.

I’ve found the admin and nursing staff to be very efficient, caring and friendly. Both the building and public areas as well as residents dining, community lounges and library rooms are of a very high standard. The quality and variety of home-cooked food created by in-house chefs who provide 2 or 3-course
meals 3 times a day 7 days a week is commendable.
Having on-site or visiting GP, physiotherapist, hairdresser and chiropodist are all worthy of mention. I am also impressed with the entertainment provided each week including a summer BBQ in the grounds for residents and their families. Also popular is a day each month when family members can bring along their dogs to refresh both the resident's and pets' memories of each other. I would especially like to thank all the nursing staff, especially the carer on the 2nd floor and the lady in reception whom I’ve had most dealings with.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Dashwood 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.775 for Dashwood Manor is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.775

  • 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 Dashwood Manor is based on 25 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.

Points = 1
