Over all time Cross Park House Care Home has 75 reviews.
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.
Cross Park is a fabulous home, and the staff are amazing and so friendly; they look after my mum so well; she is so happy there. It is so hard when a family member goes into a home, but I have no worries when I leave because I know she is being looked after so well, well done, everyone and thank you for my coffee.
t is a pleasure looking after your Mum, and she makes it easier.
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...
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.
Thank you for your positive feedback and I will be sure to pass it onto the staff.
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.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to have your mum as a part of the Cross Park House family.
Very welcoming, friendly staff. The whole residence looked very clean and hygienic.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback and this will be passed on to the staff.
The care I have is fantastic; everyone is so caring. I'm delighted to be here in Cross Park.
Thank you, Mary, for your positive feedback. I will ensure to pass this on to the staff. I am so happy that you have settled in at Cross Park House.
Generally very good.
They look after me and my requirements as needed. Very good to me when I need help to sort me out (double incontinence).
Staff couldn't be better.
Always go out of their way to tempt me with food.
I find Cross Park House Care Home excellent and the staff are very friendly.
Dad is happy, well looked after and well-fed. Couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for your review, it is a pleasure looking after your dad.
Excellent care.
The staff are very caring and tried extremely hard to get my mum to eat and drink.
It was not easy to visit during Covid but the systems in place are good and I was confident all precautions were being taken.
Daily activities are provided to allow the occupants to mix and socialise.
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.
As always, the care my mum receives has been excellent throughout her stay and I am always kept informed of everything. My mum has a good rapport with all the staff and is very happy. I must say during this pandemic everyone has been kept safe and it was lovely when the "pod" was finished and visiting could start again, knowing it was safe for all to do so and this worked wonders for my mum seeing her family again.

During the past three and a half years the staff have looked after my mum after Dad died. She was very confused and the staff treated her with love and care. They kept us informed immediately if Mum had any issues. We are so pleased with how the staff have dealt with the Covid issue.

Great staff and garden looking good.
Security is important to my sister and she feels safe and secure.
A little expensive, but that standard of care is superior to some other homes.
