Review of Barchester Oulton Park Care Centre

No better place.
My father has been in Barchester House just over a year now, suffering severe dementia. It's a lovely clean bright place to be. The staff are welcoming and friendly whenever you visit and certainly care for the residents. nothing is too much trouble and any concerns I've had have been swiftly dealt with. food is of a very high standard and as Xmas approached little treats were often delivered. Chocolates and wine or a glass of beer for residents. Entertainment is often brought in from outside too. I know my dad is well cared for and certainly couldn't ask for more.

My husband has been in Oulton Park since November where he has received excellent care, the food is first class. I myself have meals at weekends with him from time to time, the service is first class. When asked by friends what Oulton Park is like I tell them its like a 5 star hotel.

After being shown round by a member of staff, it's a very friendly and pleasant atmosphere, clean bright and spacious with good personal attention to residents. Good attention to details, the little things mean a lot.

I think this is a very good place for my daughter. She is very well looked after. The food is good and all the staff are very kind and very helpful to her. Her speech is getting much better with the help of her stimulation by Paula Forward.

I believe that praise should be given where due as many homes get poor publicity.

Review of Barchester Oulton Park Care Centre

Originally attended the coffee morning in the music room and was very impressed. Owing to 3 weeks in hospital, offered a bed at Oulton which was accepted. Would recommend to others in this situation as better than other homes visited.

Review of Barchester Oulton Park Care Centre

My husband has previously receieved respite care in various homes but I must admit Oulton Park is by far the best - my husband is now a permanent resident - with his required nursing care needs. It is clean and above all smell free! The staff are the best experienced - friendly and always there to help, friendly but professional with their duties. I always find my husband clean and tidy and I get informed of any concerns or changes. Above all it is my own peace of mind after having to make a decision about his permanent care, which was very difficult to make.

The service we have had from mum's first day there (14/9/2012) has been exemplary. The staff are very friendly and always helpful and nothing is too much trouble. It is obvious they enjoy what they do which is a refreshing change in this day and age.

Review of Barchester Oulton Park Care Centre

The residents are calm and relaxed, clean and warm, obviously well fed and very well cared for. Carers too are calm, caring, efficient, always polite, smiling and welcoming. They always put the needs of residents first and a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere prevails. 'Staff all deserve medals' said one visitor. The environment is warm, bright, friendly, comfortable, clean. Stimulation and equipment of huge variety and stunning beauty, lots of activities and interesting visual and tactile equipment all around and always accessible. A truly wonderful place and I am thrilled that our mum is a resident here.
