Review of
Park Hall
from D H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Dad was only with you for a few months but Park Hall was our first choice when we were looking for a residential setting. We liked the way that the home is split into smaller, more personal units, with the atrium and the 'pub' for alternative social areas. Dad loved sitting in the atrium in the sunshine,

he enjoyed the food and got on well with his carers. We were happy with his care and the response to anything we raised.

Review of
Chesterton Lodge
from Sue A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Feeling frightened, angry and disappointed on arrival to Chesterton Lodge (about leaving her own home & hospital) My mother-in-law soon settled into her 'new home'. 2 days later the words 'it's lovely here, they bring you your food, everyone's king. They wash my clothes and they bring them back the

next dasy, I've had my hair done, it's like a hotel'. Wow! How reassuring/comforting it was for her family to hear her speak. My mother-in-law's needs have been met, staff always available to discuss, listen and act to any concerns, arranging medical care for a skin condition, arranging an optometrist to check her vision. We are so relieved and happy to see her so settled. As she continues to stay at Chesterton Lodge we now hope that with encouragement she will become less reluctant to refuse and being to participate in the enrichment activities planned/available. Thank you everyone for welcoming her into the home and making such a positive difference for us all. xx

Review of
Chesterton Lodge
from Diane M (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My sister in law is receiving excellent care at Chesterton Lodge. There is a welcoming atmosphere when we visit and the staff are mostly pleasant and approachable. The home is clean and comfortable and the staff go to a great deal of trouble to decorate it beautifully for celebrations. Mealtimes are

well organised and, on reading the menu, I can see that the meals are well balanced and nutritious. Communication from the home is very good. I would certainly recommend Chesterton Lodge.

Review of
Maple Tree Court
from Marion G (Wife of Resident) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

On the recommendation from a friend who for a few years had resided at Maple Tree Court I knew that it would be most suited to my husband's long term care. After two and a half years both myself and two daughters' have seen the excellent care ranging from his personal needs, good meals, on-time medications

and good medical advice when needed Although the House Keeping is often times stretched his room and bathroom are alway kept clean and tidy with
clean bedding and a good supply of clean towels always at hand.
Most importantly to us as a family he is comfortable, happy and safe.

Review of
Park Hall
from Vance H (Son of Resident) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

During the five years that our Mum was at Park Hall she was treated with respect and encouraged to be as active as possible within the constraints of a devastating dementia diagnosis. I was always made welcome by all the staff when visiting my Mum and this enabled me to spend many hours of quality time

with her. Whilst they are not a nursing care provider they have experience in providing end of life care with training led by the home manager. Their commitment to taking care of our Mum was nothing short of exceptional. During her final days we were able to be with our mother day and night (even with our dog Pippa) without any objections. I was so impressed particularly with the home manager who went above and beyond. Thank you for everything during our sad loss.

Review of
Park Hall
from Susan T (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our Mum lived at Park Hall for almost 5 years. Whilst there she was treated with respect and encouraged to be as active as possible both physically and cognitively within the constraints of a devastating dementia diagnosis. When Mum became unwell we had no alternative but to agree to her being admitted

to hospital but sadly the treatment did not provide a long term response. The hospital wanted our Mum to be discharged to a nursing home after what could have been a 6 week assessment somewhere she was not familiar with. We fought for Mum to go back to Park Hall. Whilst they are not a nursing care provider they have experience of providing end of life care with training led by the home manager and we had no doubt they would be able to care for Mum. She passed away with dignity with all her family around her (including the dog!) both day and night. Fellow residents/friends came in to see her and the staff were wonderful to us all, nothing was too much for them and I am eternally grateful.

Review of
Park Hall
from Janet B (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mum was a resident at Park Hall for nearly 4 years. During that time she was happy and well cared for at all times. As a family, we were always made welcome no matter what time of day we visited, and we got to know the Carers and Management on a personal basis, and they us. All residents are treated

with dignity, and the staff quickly learn each residents individual little ways.
Sadly, my Mum's health suddenly declined recently, and she had to receive "end of life" care. This care was given by the most wonderful staff at Park Hall. Each and every member of the team showed care, respect and love to Mum, and each one of us. To say they excelled in this care is an understatement. We are so very grateful that Mum did not spend her last days in hospital. She got to stay in a room that she knew and loved, surrounded by her family that could come and go, day and night . Whilst being cared for by people who really knew her , and always spoke her name while attending to her.
