Staff
Every home has its own targets for how much care each resident gets, on average, every day. Care time includes help with everyday tasks and things like updating care plans. October to December 2025.
That’s 3 hours 35 minutes of care a resident a day, on average.
Homes must have a registered nurse on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Calvary Kirralee reported one on site around the clock in 12 of the 12 months reported, from July 2025 to June 2026. In June 2026 the national average was 23 hours 51 minutes a day.

Fabulous. They care for my husband who has dementia and cancer. The staff are wonderful. It is very clean and tidy. The food looks amazing. Could not have my husband in a better place.
My father had a short 2 week respite stay (Dementia) and we found the staff and facilities to be fantastic. From the first phone call to enquire about stay to picking up dad we we're very happy.
Wonderful staff. Excellent quality of support.
