Review of Park House, Dorchester, Dorset by Charles S (Respite Resident)

Friday 4 May 2012

When visiting the care home before my stay, the staff, and management were very welcoming, explaining and showing all my needs I would have and I would require. The other residents whilst staying there were always in good cheerful spirit. A lovely outside garden to sit in. The activities were very interactive and jolly well run. My room was lovely bright and very clean. The whole atmosphere of the care home made my stay and recovery, one to be recommended anytime. The attitude of the staff was most refreshing.

Park House is a lovely 'home from home' residential home. There is always a warm friendly atmosphere as soon as one steps over the threshold. Park House is a delightful period house with a sun terrace set in a beautiful garden.

When we were looking for a care home to admit my mother we were impressed by the happy atmosphere and professionalism emanating from Park House. In the two and a half years my mother has been there these views have been reinforced. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
