My mum has now been in this care home for 7 months and I am so happy she has settled in really well now. The care she is receiving is really good, and all the carers and nursing staff are so good with her. If we have any problems the management are always there to help. The only concern is maybe the
food choice menu which could be improved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has recently moved to Parkville. After losing a lot of faith in care settings due to a previous very bad experience I'm blown away. After just a short time already Parkville has given me my mum back. Parkville has ticked every box, the staff are incredibly attentive and treat my mum with the
utmost respect and care, going above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness, there is a whole home approach from all levels of staff. Person centred care is practiced which is making every day feel meaningful. The home itself is very clean and gives me a very welcoming, supporting family environment. The choice of meals is fantastic. I feel completely at ease knowing my mum is in a safe, supporting environment. The management team are always approachable and open to feedback. Thank you Parkville Team.

Lovely care home with really friendly, caring staff who go the extra mile with care and compassion. My mum was happy and settled - they even managed to get her to sleep in her bed after she had spent 3 years sleeping in her chair at her previous care home.
Fully deserved 5-star rating.

I am pleased that my partner has settled in her new home and seems happy. She gets on well with the staff and I find everyone pleasant and amenable.
Her appetite seems better and she enjoys her food which is very good.
We have had a visit to the cinema, which she enjoyed, with another in the near
future.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally good care. Dad entered Parkville in January 2023 and over the first few months some settling in was needed. The garden in the Sapphire unit needs tlc with fag butt clean up etc. but is improving. More staff in the Sapphire unit will help the lovely staff cope better. Laundry should be a bit
better and things go missing regularly. However, feel secure that Dad is looked after and has dignity in his care now.

Thank you for the review, Richard. We will continue to work on the areas which have been discussed to ensure that we are always striving for the best standards of care within the service. I will share these comments with the team within the care home.

My husband spent the last four weeks of his life in Parkville Care Centre. The management and staff are incredible. They cared for him, and indeed for the whole family.
His hygiene and personal care were excellent, as was the home. This home has a very high standard and I would recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Parkville Care Centre has a new manager in place and in a short time she has demonstrated good positive leadership skills, leading her team in an effective direction. Parkville has a good person-centred approach and is a safe caring environment which addresses all care needs. It clearly has an open-door
policy and I feel I can question and review any aspects of my loved ones' quality of care or care plan at any time. The day-to-day care which I witness and watched is of a high standard and I feel confident and supportive of Parkville Care Centre Team.

I cannot commend the home enough from the very first day my Mam arrived to the last day. The care given has been excellent towards Mam's requirements and also towards the family. There was never ever anytime the care was never there, from minor issues to palliative care. I cannot commend the carers

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.769) out of 10 for Parkville Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.543 for Parkville Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.543
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.226 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Parkville Care Centre is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.426
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Care Home Manager Joined: 2024

As a nurse myself I wish to enrich the staffing team to promote excellent standards for our residents.
