Lovely warm welcome from staff. Cross Park feels like "home" not a home. Residents all encouraged to be part of the community & are treated with care & respect. Mum is so lucky to have a place here. The activities are brilliant.
Good afternoon KN. What a lovely review to read - thank you so much for taking the time to write and submit it. It's lovely to see our care team recognised in such a positive way, lovely to see Cross Park described as 'home' and not 'a home' (I'm not sure I've seen it worded like that before -...
110% world class all round. Highest recommendation, just amazing, all the staff are caring, lovely, go beyond the call of duty.

I am a resident at Cross Park House and will be for quite a bit longer. I have been here for nearly 12 months. I did have a chance of moving but I like the staff and get looked after very well. The rooms are a bit small but are warm & cosy. Friends who come to see me always get offered a cuppa tea or coffee. They say how nice & friendly the staff & management are.
Good afternoon Pamela. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review of your experience living at Cross Park. It's lovely to read that you are happy at Cross Park House and would not want to leave as you get looked after very well and like the staff. Yes, Cross Park is a converted...
Very informative, happy with the things discussed today with Kiera and the reassurance she gave for care for my mum.
Hello Suzanne. Thank you for taking the time to write and leave this 5 out 5 star review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham. It's really nice to read that you are happy and reassured by the care being provided to your Mum by Kiera and her team. Thank you again for this positive feedback. Kindest regards, Nathan.
After looking at several homes in the area; the manager and her staff at Cross Park gave us the warmest, friendliest welcome, the atmosphere was like home from home. The environment was clean, lovely decor and facilities very good. The excellent staff so kind and caring, the food was good with the chef checking daily on choice. My mother had two weeks respite care and as a family we felt confident leaving her with the wonderful team. We will certainly make further stays and highly recommend Cross Park to others.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really lovely and detailed 5 / 5 star review of your experience with our Care Home and Care Team at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. It's always lovely to have our homes described as 'like home from home' as that's exactly what we are looking...
Overall, we are pleased with the care & support given to my mother. The staff could not do more or be friendlier to family & friends. The new manager has been excellent, but we are saddened & concerned she is leaving already. In the year my mother has been here, there have been 3 deputy managers, 2 managers and other staff changes. The residents & their families need continuity & familiar faces. Also, the promised mini-bus shopping trips/excursions have never happened, which is a great shame.
Thank you for this feedback - it's great that you are pleased with the care and support that our team at Cross Park have given to your mum. Yes, it is a shame that she is leaving - she is moving to our St. Petrocs Care Home in Bodmin as it is closer to her home. Shas really enjoyed working at Cross...
Staff are lovely, friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Dad always treated with dignity.
Family when visiting, are always treated with respect & welcomed usually with a cup of tea.
Would highly recommend the care received of an excellent standard.

The manager is always in the building now. Very welcoming and very approachable. All the staff work very hard.
Thank you for this really positive review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park in Brixham. It's really nice to read that you've seen some recent improvements in the home - we have recently welcomed a new manager, along with some other changes in the team, and, I agree,...
Cross Park House is spacious and beautifully decorated for different occasions. I appreciate the coffee the staff give me when I visit. It is not too formal. My 4 grandchildren arrived without warning just when Christmas lunch was being served. We all sat in my husband's room and helped him eat it which he loved. Individual birthdays are remembered. The staff do a reliable and difficult job caring for people who are physically or mentally ill - who are not always polite. Very tiring. Care homes and their staff are not appreciated or helped by the government. They should be.
Thank you for your kind words. We aim to encourage families to visit their loved ones as much as possible and make it an enjoyable experience. We have a great team and i will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team.
I am very happy with the care my mum has received at Cross Park House. The place is homely. There are activities - particularly music which my mum loves, but in particular the staff are lovely, wonderful and caring people.
Thank you for your positive feedback, I will be sure to pass on the the staff. It was a pleasure looking after your Mum.
My father arrived at Crossparks on January 25th from the hospital. He was very difficult behaviour-wise towards the carers. I felt very upset and worried about the staff and my dad, he has a history of being difficult. However, the staff were so good with Dad and so caring and thoughtful towards me and my husband. We can't praise them enough! Dad is now settled and happy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really positive (and really honest) review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. Thank you for highlighting the skilled work and dedication of our care team members - I've often experienced our...
My dad went into Cross Park for one month of respite care and has been welcomed to stay longer if he needs it. The home itself is lovely and the staff are really helpful to me and my brother. Caring is very good, nothing is too much trouble and they accommodate all our needs and requests. All of the residents looked really happy and Dad settled in with ease. I'd recommend Cross Park and hope that should we continue to need them, Dad will stay!
Firstly, may I wish you and your family a very 'Happy New Year'. Secondly, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really lovely 5 / 5 Star review of your experience, and that of your Dad, at our Cross Park House Residential Care Home in Brixham, Devon. It's lovely to read that your Dad...
When deciding on a care home for my nan in March 2022, I viewed some more modern homes. However, at Cross Park, it was clear that they encouraged residents into the common areas and to engage in a range of activities. The garden and dining room are lovely. As it is my nan prefers to remain in her room and is very set in her ways but many of the staff engage with her from the cleaners to the laundry lady. She is always clean and tidy and the staff try to encourage her to drink more. I know she is well looked after and cared for which gives me peace of mind. Her room looks out onto the road where I live so it's an added bonus that she is so close. I am welcomed whenever I visit and the staff have been kind to me and my nan as we've been dealing with my dad's ill health and his subsequent passing. Thanks for taking good care of my nan.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will be sure to pass it on to the team at Cross Park House.
Lovely staff, a good standard of hygiene. Dad is well looked after.
Thank you for your kind words, I will be sure to pass your feedback to the staff.
Very happy with the service provided. Though staff are overworked and underpaid as are most homes in the UK.
Hello Linda. Thank you for this feedback. It's lovely to know that you are happy with the service provided. I note your comments with regard to the care team being overworked and underpaid. This is a very broad statement. We do not believe that our care teams are overworked. We recruit to ensure...
Once the staff got to know Mum, care has been absolutely first class. How they do it, I don't know. Mum is always clean and bright. Social Services commented on the quality of her skin to me, which says a lot. Mum interacts well with them even with her limited ability.
The manager and assistant are professional, competent and approachable; they clearly know each resident on a personal basis. Open meetings are held with residents and relatives to discuss events, happenings and any concerns. The home is well run and clean.
The décor of the property is dated, but not sufficient to detract from care.
Mum likes her food and it is very good. Mum was once the best cook in Devon, so that's high praise indeed!
Thank you for your feedback, I will be sure to pass on to the staff. It was a pleasure caring for your mum at Cross Park House.
Past year opinion of care home, opinion as marked (very good).
Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to post this review - it's really nice to read that you have such a positive opinion of our care team and care home at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. I know the manager and her team will really appreciate this feedback. Thank you again, Director.
I am very happy with the care Mum receives at Cross Park House Care Home. All the staff, without exception, are kind and caring and I'm always met with a smile and a welcome when I visit. When you care for someone at home for a long time, it's difficult to give them over to someone else's care and trust that they will be treated with love, care and respect. I can now relax knowing that Mum has all this at Cross Park.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback, it is a pleasure to look after your Mum. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to the staff.
