I can't compliment nor thank every single member of staff here at Parklands enough. The level of care and support they are giving my dad is amazing.


They really care about how he is and keep.me updated on every aspect of his care. The stress and pressure this has helped reduce on me is massive,

knowing he is looked after and cared for.


Amazing and caring staff, every single one.

From the first day, it was evident that Parklands Residential Care Home stands out for its exceptional care and warmth. My mother has never been happier; her bright smile and stories of her days filled with singing and chatting with the team are heartwarming. The staff's dedication and genuine kindness
are unmatched. Every visit, we're greeted with a friendly offer of a hot drink and a consistently clean, well-maintained community area. The attention to detail and the pride the staff take in their work are truly commendable. We are deeply appreciative of the outstanding care and support provided, making Parklands Care Home a true home for our loved ones.

Review from Helen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been an EMI resident since July 2022. She has received outstanding care throughout this period. She has formed some very strong bonds with seniors and carers and has some absolute favourites. Over this time she has mellowed and looks healthy, more relaxed, and well looked after, much better
than before she became a resident even at 94 years old. We know that she is not an easy person and never has been so that makes her present demeanour even more special and must have been achieved by the hard work of her seniors and carers.
She praises the food and obviously enjoys it. Her personal appearance is very good, being maintained so well by her carers and seniors and facilitated by an in-house laundry and hairdressing service.
We would highly recommend Parklands, not just for the facilities provided and the fantastic care she receives, but also for the thoughtfulness shown by carers and seniors to both her and us, her family.

Mam has been in Parklands for 18 months now and I am happy with her care. She is well looked after though her behaviour at times can be trying. Mam has her own room and can have her own furniture if she wants it.
Admin staff have been extremely helpful when dealing with adult social care, etc.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been a resident at Parklands for 8 years. She is extremely well looked after, even though her behaviour at times can be very testing for the staff. The care is excellent, their level of patience, compassion, kindness and friendliness is wonderful. They are true professionals. The main building
is old but they have overcome this with bright, colourful decor. The whole building is kept very clean and fresh. Although my aunt would rather be at home, she is mostly content and relaxed. The food is freshly cooked on the premises, it is excellent. There are varied activities and entertainment. I cannot praise the staff at Parklands highly enough from cleaners, cooks, handymen, entertainment, admin, secretaries, carers and management. They go above and beyond for their residents. I am very grateful for their love and support.

Having my Mam in Parklands has helped with a lot of worry as she is looked after and taken care of, plus she is safe. I am happy with most of the staff because if she is unwell I am contacted straight away and kept informed as the day goes on. I love there own private rooms as they have peace and quiet
if they are unwell and they are kept very clean. I am also happy with their meals.

In an ideal world, it would be great for the building itself to get an upgrade - more ensuite rooms, paint wall, new floorings etc, but the staff do a wonderful job, meaning I can't recommend Parklands highly enough.

Also mum gained weight due to varied diet of good lovely good meals.

My mother has been staying at Parklands for 22 months and has settled in quite nicely, mam is not a big eater but the food always looks and smells great. My husband and l are over the moon that none of the residents has tested positive for covid, for which we think the staff deserves everyone's thanks.
There have been a lot more activities over the past few months, which we learn about through the newsletters we receive. My mother still has her nightly gin and tonic which l know she has always enjoyed.

My Father-in-Law was in this care home, the care was a disgrace. I'm seeking legal action against the home, I can't say what it was for but the quality of care was disgraceful and is understaffed. I don't blame the staff, it's the manager who should be on top of things I transferred my father-in-law
to another home which was 100 times better.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Parklands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.605 for Parklands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.605
  2. 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 Parklands Care Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
