A CARE home has been hailed as one of the best in the country in a prestigious list.

Dearnevale, in Grimethorpe, is part of complex care provider Exemplar Health Care and bagged a perfect ten-out-of-ten rating on the independent comparison website carehome.co.uk, based on 64 verified reviews from families and friends in the last two years.

It’s the ninth consecutive year that Dearnevale’s placed in the rankings.

Manager Helen McGowan said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be named as a top ten care home in Yorkshire and the Humber for the ninth year running.

“Achieving the score from residents, families and friends means so much to us as it shows that the people who matter most feel confident in the care and support we provide.

“At Dearnevale, we focus on making ‘every day better’ for the people we support - it’s about taking the time to understand what matters to each person.

“Our team works incredibly hard to create a welcoming and supportive home, and this recognition is a true reflection of their compassion and dedication.”
