We have had a positive experience, which has been amazing given the emotions included in making a life-changing decision. We have been able to ask questions and week reassurance at any time. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is welcoming and lots of thought has been put into making our family members
comfortable secure and well cared for.

It says I'm not allowed to mention staff names, but they are the ones that make the home! They all show what it is to be a care professional. My Mum and Dad are really happy here and that is a direct result of the people that they are looked after by. In particular, 4 carers are all amazing (and that's
just who we see most often) but all of the team are just so caring, all of them. 11/10.

We are happy with the care our mum receives. The Denby is bright, clean and welcoming. Mum enjoys the activities, they keep her stimulated. The staff are friendly and staffing levels seem consistent. Mum is still settling in at The Denby after being somewhere else for 6 years. She sometimes gets worked
up. The staff at the Denby are good at keeping her calm and reassured. We would recommend the Denby to anyone looking for a good care home.

The care my mother received in the last few weeks of her life was exceptional. The staff were so caring and treated Mum with dignity. They ensured Mum received the medical attention she needed while respecting her wishes. Their care for our family was also excellent. Thank you to all the staff of all

From the original contact with The Denby to Mum getting a place at the care home, myself and my family have been very happy with the care that we have all received. At first, Mum found it hard to settle but the staff suggested we come for lunch with her. That really helped her to get used to the dining
room and the food was very good. I am always pleased with the staffing levels and the friendliness of the staff. Mum is now settling which puts our minds at rest.

My sister moved from hospital into The Denby. Her move went very smoothly and her needs were assessed and altered immediately to make sure she was properly cared for right from the start. All requests from me were dealt with exactly as I had asked. The admin side of things was made easy to understand
- everyone was very keen and helpful at every stage. My first impression of The Denby is that it is a well-run, friendly and efficient care home.

We are always made to feel welcome and if we need to speak to someone there is always someone available. A lot of the staff knew us by name including the member of staff on reception. They understand our relative's needs and treat her with patience and understanding. We know she is safe and well looked
after. There are plenty of activities for her to get involved with and trips out.

I have found the management and staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and keen to provide the care my dad needs, amending this as they get to know him. Any requests have been accommodated and I have felt it has been a team effort between staff and family to try to settle my dad into life at the home.
Concerns have been raised/addressed in consultation with us, as a family. Having visited another care home recently, I am confident that The Denby at Denby Dale is an excellent, well-run and 'homely' home.

I visited The Denby at Denby Dale whilst I was visiting my dad from New Zealand. What struck me was how 'homely' it was and how friendly and caring the staff were. Being able to speak to my dad on the phone is really important as I'm so far away and "The Denby" staff will take a landline to my dad if
he isn't answering his phone/doesn't hear it or it's not with him. They also have "charging his phone overnight" as part of his 'care routine' at night. These little touches make such a difference.

My father has been a resident for approximately 9 weeks. He has settled well with the help of all the staff. The staff and management are all very caring, attentive and supportive of my dad and the whole family. He has been made to feel very welcome and treated with dignity and respect. The facilities
are first class, lovely clean room and excellent communal areas. Excellent stimulating activities in a safe and warm environment. Well done all!

My dad moved into The Denby on 14.12.23. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, care, empathy and a genuine sense of "holiness". Over the past week, I have been delighted with the level of care and support my dad has received from literally every member of staff. The atmosphere is
relaxed, happy, friendly and all-encompassing. It is such a relief to leave him knowing the care he is receiving.

My father has been in The Denby at Denby Dale for a month and I can't fault any area of his care. The facilities are clean, attractive to look at and very new-looking. The staff accommodated my father's needs with professionalism, compassion, and friendly smiles and very approachable to me. They soon
got to know my father and understand his dementia.
I would recommend this care home to any family needing above-average care for a loved one.

My mum has been in The Denby on the dementia floor, since June 2023. She loves it! She settled in very quickly and felt safe and cared for. This was due to preparation, but mainly down to the caring and adaptable nature of the staff at The Denby. entertainment calendar is outstanding and mum is kept
very busy with the variety of what is offered. The Denby was recommended to me and I can't recommend them highly enough.

My experience at The Denby Care home over the last 7 years has been a very good one. My uncle has had 7-star treatment here in his last years. He wasn't always the easiest character to cope with but they treated him with respect and cared for his every need. I was always informed of any issues. The
staff I found to be very vigilant, especially at the end. The last couple of weeks the staff stepped up another gear and looked after me too. They are amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for The Denby at Denby Dale 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.931 for The Denby at Denby Dale is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 The Denby at Denby Dale is based on 23 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
