Although this was her second stay at the home she was still a little concerned about having to return. She indicated when we collected her that she had once again enjoyed the stay find the room and facilities excellent, the food excellent and the staff always pleasant and helpful.
She joined in the
activities which surprised us as she tends to keep herself to herself and is quite independent. Overall she once again enjoyed her stay which for me makes it far easier and more relaxing knowing that she is looked after really well during her stays.

Excellent care. My mum is extremely well looked after both personal hygiene and emotional care. I cannot thank the staff enough for what they do for my mum. She always participates in the activities which are varied and this helps to keep her motivated. My mum is not in good health but the care and
attention given to her keep her going otherwise I am sure she would sadly no longer be with us.

In the past, I have had both my father and mother-in-law in homes. My mother-in-law's home was so bad that we took her out and she ended up living with me and my late husband. So when I go to The Denby at Denby Dale, I do go looking for faults but as of yet, I have not found any. To put it another way,
if I had to go into a home, I would choose to go to The Denby at Denby Dale. My cousin is well looked after and he is very happy. I go in once a week to see him and I know that if I am worried about him, I can phone anytime of the day to see how he is.


I have only put satisfactory for the management because The Denby at Denby Dale has a very new manager. If the old one had still been working at The Denby at Denby Dale, I would have put an excellent -so I really cannot comment on the new manager

I cannot explain how good everyone at The Denby is. I hadn't seen my wife in over a week. Also, they set a table up with wine and flowers and we sat and had a three-course meal. I do not have words to explain what this meant to me and my wife. All the staff are wonderful people. Thank you.

I stayed here for six nights, all things about the Denby were good no complaints. Very friendly staff, nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I would certainly go back there.

My family and myself can't praise the manager and her team enough for all the care, compassion, friendship and laughter they shared with our mother during her short stay, unfortunately her health deteriorated very quickly and the whole team gave their utmost to make her final few weeks as comfortable
as possible.
The facilities provided meant residents are able to participate in lots of activities suitable to their abilities.
The rooms are well equipped, clean and modern. Mum's room overlooked Denby Dale village which she loved to watch the world go by and commenting on shoppers in the bakery and deli.
Menus were varied and adaptable for all tastes with snacks available at any time, drinks in their own rooms or in the bistro or coffee lounge.
Thank you once again.

My Dad, moved into the Denby for respite a few weeks ago. Within a couple of weeks he told me he wanted to stay 'forever' - he is so well looked after. The staff are wonderful. It's a lovely place. Dad has changed from being sad and lonely to being happy and quite jolly. He looks and acts 10 years
younger! When he lived in his flat he shuffled with a zimmer frame into his chair each day and never moved. I cannot believe the new man he has become. He now walks tall and just uses a stick. The Activities Coordinator is brilliant at encouraging my Dad to join in with things. Last week they were playing dominoes in the lounge with a few ladies and there was such warmth and laughter in the room it was great. I went to a family firework party there a couple of weeks ago. All the staff were there with their families and they made such a fuss of the residents it's like a big happy family.
It's so nice visiting him now and seeing how relaxed and happy he is. The staff genuinely seem to care about him. The Manager is always very helpful if I have any queries.
It was a very tough decision when we first thought about looking for a residential home for my Dad but it's turned out to be the absolute best thing we could have done. My Dad has a new lease of life.
To summarise: it's a gorgeous building with super facilities and the staff are fabulous.

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.
