Over all time Cross Park House Care Home has 75 reviews.
The minute we walked into Cross Park we could feel the warm, caring atmosphere, it had the feeling of a loving home and we were not wrong. The staff treat my mum with patience and respect even though she can be difficult, my mum speaks with her eyes and when she looks at the staff there is a smile in her eyes, not fear or worry. My dad sits with her every day and is now a day resident once a week, he is also treated with care and respect and will join her there soon!
Regular phone calls from the home also kept us up-to-date of his health and well being.
So grateful for everyone at Cross Park for caring for my father.
Thank you.
Thank you for the review, Andrew. It was a privilege to look after your father in our home.
Although an old building the layout encourages residents to walk about and have different options to sit and rest.
Varied activities offered.
A small but lovely garden - could be more secure so 100 percent access for residents.
The manager and senior staff are exceptional with care and support for residents and family alike.
All training is well applied to practice.
Other staff, I have seen, also a good standard of care and so kind.
Hello Marilyn G. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experiences at our Cross Park House Care Home in Brixham. The excellent and good ratings are always great to see, especially when it's a description of our care team members. We agree, The Manager and her Senior...
Always greeted by staff, easy to talk to a "senior manager" or the "named" carers. A variety of atmospheres in public rooms. Conservatory pleasant place for families to chat. TV room a safe and enclosed space, sitting room to enable quiet/reflective space for residents, with good views of garden and trees beyond. A positive attitude of staff toward my aunty who can often be negative/aggressive towards them.
Good morning W K - Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experience with our Cross Park House Care Home in Brixham. It's great to hear that you have had such a positive experience and are happy with the care being provided for your Aunty. Kindest regards, Nathan.
My mother has been a resident since 2012. She has Alzheimers and her grasp of language has deteriorated sharply in recent months. The staff at Cross Park are very sensitive to the frustration and anxiety this gives my mother and their patience and caring attitude is so valuable to ensure my mother feels safe and cared for in a warm and kind environment. Every effort goes into getting the best out each day and there is often laughter - the staff know each resident and their likes and dislikes and worries and do their very best to work with each to make them happy and content.
Good morning JD - thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experience of our Cross Park House Care Home in Brixham and our fantastic Care Team who work there. I know just how highly the Manager and her Care Team regard every resident in their care and I agree that they...
My husband was at this care home for over two years and he was always treated with the most wonderful care and attention with dignity by everyone concerned. Also, no matter when you visit, you were always given a warm welcome. It is such a pleasure to visit and peace of mind as well.
This is where I should wish to be if I, myself, need care in the future. This is the highest recommendation.
Good afternoon EMM. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experience of Cross Park House in Brixham. We are delighted that your husband enjoyed his time with us at Cross Park - I'm sure he is still missed by the care team. Thank you for your highest of commendations. Kindest regards, Nathan.
Always welcoming at the home when we visit my father. The staff are always approachable and helpful. A big thank you to everyone!
Hello Kay R. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review of your experience at Cross Park House in Brixham. It's always great for our care teams to receive this type of public recognition for a job that is very challenging and, sadly, often not given the respect and recognition that it deserves by the wider society who are not directly involved in it. Kindest regards, Nathan.
A caring environment with high staff to resident ratio and good personal care. Residents always responded to with care and dignity. Staff are knowledgeable about residents likes and dislikes so can provide them with appropriate care. Always welcoming of visitors and feel confident leaving my mother in their care.
I come to this home every week to see my husband and I am always pleased to see everything is Ok.
Good morning Valerie F. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review - it's always great to see a full house of 'excellent' ratings. We're all really pleased that you and your husband are happy with the care being provided. Kindest regards, Nathan.
The home is very clean.
If there is anything I am concerned about, it is sorted out straight away.
Good afternoon WP. Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this review. It's great to see a full set of 'excellent' ratings for the care team at Cross Park House - we know they work very hard in achieving them. Kindest regards, Nathan.
This is a really good home, my mum lives here and has done so far for a year. Every need is taken care of.
All aspects of care are exemplary.
All the carers and management at this home go way above and beyond their call of duty to perform the best service imaginable. They excel in efficiency, professionalism, empathy communication and the willingness to provide a safe, comfortable, happy and fun place for the residents to stay at. The residents are looked after so well and their individual care needs are catered for at all levels. It's also clear the staff are well trained up to current standards and the policies in place are effective and adhered to. I can conclude all this after spending a great deal of time there visiting my nan, over the last six months or so.
As a daughter-in-law who has a very good relationship with my mother-in-law and being a widow to her son. I was very concerned that she get the best care possible. As a Brixham resident I visited many homes. The day I came here there was entertainment, friendly, cheerful staff and very comfortable surroundings. The food is very good and all her needs are met. The home is very secure and I am very happy with all aspects.
I love the fact they provide entertainment for the residents.
I wonder if there would be any scope to get the residents out and about if the family cannot do so.
