Park House Nursing Home

There are lots of activities and events throughout the year. Friends and family are made welcome. The home is nicely decorated and homely.

My mother has been at Park House since 2004. I was concerned when I was advised that the owner was selling the business. However, Healthcare Homes have not made any detrimental changes as I had feared. My mother is content and happy. The staff are kind and thoughtful. I am pleased to see very few staff changes. Continuity is important.

Park House Nursing Home is always very welcoming and friendly. The staff all work very hard to create a strong sense of community for residents and residents alike. The care is of the highest standard - calm, caring and very professional. Nothing is too much trouble. On the social side, the food is very tasty and varied and the daily programme of activities for the residents is imaginative and very involving. We greatly enjoy the monthly programme of events which include family and friends. The bedrooms are well appointed and very well maintained, each with their own TV. The three lounges are very welcoming and comfortable, the dining room is always inviting and the secluded garden is always greatly appreciated. My mother has felt completely "at home" and very happy since arriving at Park House Nursing Home 18 months ago and we continue to be extremely pleased with our choice.

My mother has been in Park House Nursing Home since August 2011 and during that time I have never had cause to complain or be upset by any treatment she has received from the staff. All of the staff I come across act in a very professional and effective manner. I always like to say that they are carers that really do care! Mum is always clean and well presented and even though she cannot communicate, the staff talk to her and it is a testimony to them that they are often rewarded with a smile. Mum's room and bed linen are kept spotlessly clean always.

Activity staff are very good. Could be more variety, or more of what is most popular. Overall... all try very hard.

I feel comfortable in the knowledge dad is safe, secure and well looked after.

I attended an afternoon tea party and found a lovely atmosphere. The staff took time to talk to the residents and spent time with those with no visitors. The staff were most welcoming to all visitors and we had a lovely tea and an impromptu sing-song. My friend whom I visit really enjoyed it.

I wish to congratulate all the Healthcare Homes on the smooth takeover from Park House. We were all initially concerned for our loved ones, we are now aware this concern was unfounded. Healthcare Homes have continued with their personal tender loving care initiatives as promoted by the manager. Carer numbers have remained so have all the activities which make this nursing home so special. I have just come back from a wonderful, and filling afternoon tea in aid of breast cancer. Thank you.

We, the family have experienced respite care, dementia care and nursing care at Park House. Currently, Dad resides upstairs (dementia) and Mum downstairs, having nursing care (terminal lung disease). The staff are, without exception, lovely and it would not be possible to do more than they do. I feel very fortunate to know that they are in the best place possible and would not hesitate to recommend Park House.

Peaceful, tranquil atmosphere from day one, helped by the surroundings. Spacious gardens with easy access, light airy rooms, no unpleasant smells at any time. Staff caring, courteous and readily available. nothing too much trouble. Couldn't ever wish for a better place for Mum to end her days. A pity she wasn't able to enjoy the excellent food and presentation for very long. Thank yo to all the wonderful staff.

Mum has been a resident at Park House for nearly ten years. In that period I have always been impressed by all aspects of her care. If that is to continue, the organisation will need to work hard to retain existing staff and to transfer their style to any new appointees. At this stage a little more consistency over administrating/financial arrangements would be welcome.

The care provided is very good the staff are lovely and caring. The rooms provided good, could be updated along with the fees that residents have to pay. Too much. More variety for the menu choice is needed as sometimes the resident has commented same old thing. The home has just been taken over by new management which I feel are not as forth coming as previous owner. More needs to be looked at if I have anything to talk to as before, manager my door is always open. More family care.

My mother's stay was very short but she could not have received better care. The staff were so understanding and caring, genuinely kind and compassionate. I would recommend Park House Nursing Home 100%.

Park House is a wonderful place to stay and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

I am so pleased that we found Park House because it gave us both peace of mind. I would be very happy to recommend this nursing home.

I remember the first time I went to view Park House, it had a lovely, homely feel about it and you could see that it was also very professionally run. I could hear laughter coming from the bedrooms where Carers were assisting residents and everywhere was very clean and very well decorated.

Mum had a stroke 5 years ago and she also had dementia so she now had to rely on Carers for all her needs - personal care, drinks, food, hoisting etc. This was all done by very kind and caring staff who treated her with a very high level of dignity. Whenever I visited, mum was always washed, dressed lovely and smelling of her favourite perfume and on most days, they had taken time to put make up on her as they knew this was something she used to do when she lived at home. Together we went to the various morning entertainment and as a family, we also attended the special evening events which were lovely and of a high standard.

Sadly, mum died at the end of October but we couldn't have found a better Home for her last 15 months. Throughout, the Management and all other staff were very supportive to us as a family and Park House will always be very special to us all

I would have no hesitation in recommending Park House to any family who has an elderly relative who needs their high level of care.

My mother has been in Park House Nursing Home for 4 years with dementia and she no longer recognises her family and she is now in the dementia unit upstairs having started off downstairs. She is always clean and well cared for and treated with kindness and respect. I find the staff friendly and welcoming whenever I visit. (I do not pre warn them of a visit I just turn up.) I was recommended by a cousin whose mother-in-law had spent the last years of her life here. She highly recommended it and I would do the same.

I am in my 98th year registered as partially sighted. Have been in Park House Nursing Home nearly 5 years and all that time have had wonderful attention when needed. The atmosphere is excellent with all kinds of activities from quizzes to board games. I can't praise it enough.
