My friend is clean, comfortable and cared for.
Thank you for leaving this review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. It's really good to know that your friend is being well cared for and I can see that you rate our Care Team and Management as 5 star - could not agree more. Thank you again, Nathan.
My father spent the last 15 months of his life at Cross Park House Care Home with severe dementia. The care my father received here was always exemplary as well as cheerful and friendly. When my father first went there he was sometimes agitated, verging on aggressive with his dementia. The staff quickly learned how to settle him and dispel his anxieties. We were soon able to stop worrying about him constantly because we could see how well he was being looked after. I rarely saw agency staff there, all the staff were known to me and excellent. I can't speak highly enough of his care ar Cross Park House.
Thank you, Marian, for this lovely and clearly heartfelt feedback with regards to our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham. It's really nice to hear that your father was so well cared for at Cross Park and that this gave you and your family peace of mind. As you have indicated,...
Mum has settled into Cross Park beyond our expectations. She came to the home on 16th September 2019, after a long spell in hospital, very frail and reluctant. She is now quite content, eating well and has put on weight. The staff are always friendly and helpful, we couldn't ask for more.

My mother has been a resident in Cross Park for nearly 4 years, having both vascular dementia and suffering a stroke, leaving her unable to walk or care for herself. From our first visit with the manager, we knew it was right for Mum. It is a home, not an institution. Everyone is friendly and helpful and you can feel this is a caring place that feels like home. Mum has been content and happy all the time she has lived there. Two members of staff, in particular, have been wonderful and deserve to be commended for their work and care.
Good afternoon R B. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experiences with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham. We're all really pleased that your Mum is and has been happy at Cross Park for the past four years. I can only agree with all that...
Cross Park House is a home from home. The staff treat the residents and their families with as much love and care as they would their own family. My father had a very peaceful and relaxed year in their care and we enjoyed our visits. The staff always had time for us. We are extremely fortunate to find such a wonderful place for my father at a very difficult time in his life. I will always be extremely grateful to all at Cross Parks for allowing us to enjoy quality time with my father.

Cross Park is a lovely small home in Brixham. My mother is very happy here and is treated very well. She has a beautiful room and always looks clean, tidy and well looked after. She enjoys the food and is gaining weight. Mum also loves the entertainment and singalongs. All in all first-rate care home with sensitive and caring staff on all levels.

Cross Park is a very friendly and homely care home. The staff are ready to welcome you as soon as you walk through the door. My father has only been there a couple of months but is settling in well and making friends. All the staff are very kind and helpful while the manageress and deputy are both ready to help with any problems that may arise.

My lovely father was here for two and a half years. During that time I felt he was safe and loved. The staff here feel like family. Lots of wonderful memories to keep forever.
Thank you. It was a privilege to have your father in our home.
My aunty has been here for the last six months. It was a big upheaval for her as she had lived in her house for ninety years but she had a few falls, plus dementia and she needed 24-hour care. The staff were excellent in getting her settled in and giving her reassurance. She is very well looked after. The staff also do different activities with the patients and during Christmas, there was always something going on to entertain them. I would also like to say how welcome they make me feel when I go to visit and I listen to me if I need to talk. I am very pleased that my aunty has settled in due to the help she received.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write and post this lovely review of your experience with our care team and care home at Cross Park House in Brixham. It's fantastic to hear how well your aunty has settled in at Cross Park. It's always really appreciated when people take the time to point out the great work that our care teams do - thank you again for doing so here. Kindest regards, Nathan
My husband suffers from severe dementia with communication problems and had had problems accepting previous daycare. From the first day at Cross Park, he was greeted warmly by bright and welcoming staff and obviously felt special. He quickly settled and from 1 day a week, now attends 3 days. Cross Park has a warm, well decorated, homely ambience with tasty meals, excellent entertainment and several day rooms and a garden so that users do not feel confined and can circulate in complete safety. As a wife and carer, Cross Park has given me peace of mind and a chance to have space for myself at a time when care for my husband (91) has become a 24-hour necessity. I certainly hope that he would be able to have a residential place here if this becomes necessary.
Good afternoon Margaret D. It is a real pleasure to read this review, thank you for taking the time to write and post it. It's fantastic to hear how happy your Husband is at Cross Park and how well he has settled in. It's also great to know that Cross Park has been able to provide you with valuable...
In the 5 weeks or so that mum was in Cross Park House Care Home for end of life care I was very impressed with the care she received. I would like to thank the staff and management for all their help.
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to have your Mum in our home. Sad that it was only for a short time.
Lovely welcome on arrivals. Both management and staff very caring and supportive to Mum and family during day and respite care periods. Very obliging when an extension to stay was required at short notice. Really happy to see how well Mum looked after respite and impressed with how 'dementia active' the home is. Very impressed.
Hello L A - Thank you for taking the time to write and post this review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. I can only agree fully, Cross Park is a lovely family home with a fantastic management and care team. It's really kind of you to post...

It's great to hear that you're pleased with the service being provided and that you would be extremely likely to recommend Cross Park to others.
It is a well-run care home, well managed with a good team of staff, the meals which are 3 times a day are always to a high standard and the home is always kept very clean.
I feel though that at weekends there should be one extra staff but otherwise, I can't fault the way my mother is looked after.
