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 that we employ enough people to enable our care team members to work their contracted hours - and they can request more if more are available. If there are gaps on the rota we have a number of contracts with agency staff providers who can provide fully qualified and vetted cover at short notice (or planned in advance) as needed. With regards the the issue of rates of pay. We certainly try to remain competitive in this regard, ensuring that we are amongst at least the top 25% of employers in our areas (Devon and Cornwall). To be able to pay more we would need to charge more for the care provided. It's a difficult balance to achieve. Kindest regards.
Once the staff got to...
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.

I can appreciate that it is difficult for residents' "group outings" in Torbay (cold weather or 'tourist' issues) but I know Mum (and a few others) would benefit from trips out, more time in the gardens - i.e. a break from 'routine'.
Thank you for your feedback and we aim to have many outings/outdoor activities over the course of the summer now that there are less restrictions and better weather.

I just wanted to share my positive experience whilst visiting my lovely nan at Cross Park House Care Home. I accompanied my grandad and the first thing that struck me was how welcoming the staff were. The staff have built up a great rapport with my grandad whilst he visits my nan, this has been very reassuring for him, as I can't imagine how difficult it must be for him to trust strangers to care for the love of his life. Nan seems really settled, calm and comfortable. The standard of personal care is high, from coordinating her outfits to styling her hair. The home itself is light and clean, sitting with Nan in the lounge felt like we were relaxing at home, not at all clinical. The carers came around with a tea trolley and a good selection of biscuits, we didn't feel like we were in the way at all. I am looking forward to visiting in the warmer weather so we can enjoy the garden together.
Thank you so much for your lovely review about Cross Park House and the staff, I will be sure to pass on your lovely feedback. It is a pleasure to look after your nan.

My mother is a new resident at Cross Park, she has Dementia and this is the first time in 75 years she has lived apart from her husband. Due to my father's old age (91) and a serious heart condition, his most recent admittance to emergency care in the hospital was a wake-up call and realisation he could no longer care for her at home. Historical memories and awful stories of 'Residential Care' filled my dad with dread. I took him to visit Cross Park as it was on our short list due to close proximity to his home and therefore regular visits. The manager had taken personal time out to ensure she showed my dad around while constantly reassuring him. The moment he was shown a pretty light and airy room I noticed a change in his demeanour and realised he liked what he saw. Gentle support for my dad has been as important as the specialist care, my mum, is now receiving. Dad has been able to share meals on his visits including Christmas Day. Cross Park staff thank you so much.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really positive and detailed review of your experience with our care team and care home at Cross Park House in Brixham. Your story is a really heart-warming one and one that we come across all too often - that being that society's perception of residential care is so different from reality. I often talk to residents (and family members) who say 'if we knew it was like this we would have come in much sooner'. It's lovely to read how settled your mum is at Cross Park and how your dad is able to spend quality time with her. We have a fantastic team at Cross Park and I know they will all do as much as they can to ensure that your mum is happy and well cared for. Thank you again for this feedback, I know that the manager and her team will really appreciate it. Kindest regards.
I have always found Cross park a really positive environment, professional and friendly. The staff are great and I have the security of knowledge that my parents are being very well cared for and are treated kindly and respectively.

Familiar first-name greetings from Cross Park House staff members always start off my visit to an elderly friend (resident here now for several years). During my visit, her general mien and positive responses during our meetings/chit-chat confirm the excellence of the care she receives. And...
I always leave, knowing she couldn't have better care.
Thank you for your kind words. We always like to make sure visitors feel welcomed at Cross Park House.
My mum is at end-of-life, the staff are extremely kind and helpful. They always keep me in touch with what is going on which I appreciate. The staff work as a good team. A big thank you to them all.

My father recently entered Cross Park House Care Home as his care needs had escalated dramatically during the Covid crisis. Within a very few days, the caring and friendly staff at Cross Park brought about a great improvement in his physical and mental well-being. Everyone is very kind and friendly and my father has passed through this big life change very smoothly. He is very settled and has nothing but praise for the home and his carers. The family are very thankful for everything that they do for Dad.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass this positive feedback to our staff and I assure you and the rest of the family that we aim to ensure your Father has a high standard of care and meet all his requirements physically and emotionally.
