Dad moved into Park House just before Christmas, which as you can imagine was an emotional time for all involved. From day one, the care Dad received has been second to none. He is settled and most importantly happy. The staff are wonderful, we feel so thankful to them all.

The staff have been very kind and patient. I feel so settled at Park House. My room is spacious and clean. Nothing is too much trouble. I'm enjoying all of the activities, especially singing and playing my guitar.

Park House is small and friendly. We feel like it is a big family. Mum has received excellent care and it is so comforting she is being so well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble for each member of staff.

What can I say about this place - having never had anything to do with care, I was put into a situation that required in-depth help. After google and reviews, I found Park House. I came to visit and from that day to this, was definitely the right choice. From arriving to now the staff have been amazing,
any question answered. Help delivered, care given above and beyond. Each resident is well looked after and they all have different needs.

Park House is a hidden gem. The quality of care provided is outstanding. The management and staff are genuine, caring people. They treat residents with dignity and respect and are supportive to family members. It's an excellent small homely environment that's very clean, nicely furnished and perfect
in every way. As a family member (daughter), I am very happy with Park House, and my mother and I happy with our experiences. We have had nothing but positive interactions with management/staff. I appreciate everything they do and can never thank them enough. They are an excellent example of what a residential home should be.

My auntie has had the best last years of her life. It was the best decision we made. Staff are tremendously polite, professional and accommodating. From management, filtering down, nothing has been too much. Her final days were made the best that she could ask for. Massive thanks.

Review from Dennis B (Son of Resident) published on 24 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When it became obvious that mother needed care. We started to look for somewhere not too far from Oxbridge. By chance, Park House was the first one we visited. We liked the family atmosphere of the residents and staff. As a family, we visited 21 more care homes in the Stockton area. In the end, we agreed
that Park House would be the place for her. Most of the staff have been there a long time which always says a lot about any organisation. Mother's health was very poor on entering Park House but with the attention and care of the staff, she improved. She enjoyed over two years in Park House. Pre-lockdown they had trips out and had a number of activities and special celebrations when the home was decorated. In her final days, the staff spent time with her and kept us updated on her condition. They made arrangements for family visits. Nothing was too much trouble. Three members of staff attended her funeral and they posted a lovely tribute on Facebook. Thank you Park House.

My mother has dementia and we needed to find a good care home for her close by so that we could visit frequently. My mother was really worried about going, but once there, I called every day and I could tell from her voice that she was happy and content. She praised the staff during each conversation
and that's how I know I made the right decision when choosing park house. I can't thank them enough for making her feel so welcome and for making her time there an enjoyable experience. It really puts my mind at ease, knowing she is happy during this difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to continuing restrictions, visiting has been difficult. However, Park House have an outside visiting pod which helps give a feeling of closeness. It is reasonably comfortable and heated. Staff stayed during the visit to help my Aunty with the telephone. They helped keep her focused and listening,
giving encouragement to answer where possible. They are always very attentive to her needs. My Aunty has been hospitalised and in isolation recently so these visits help to reassure she is happy and well cared for. Park House staff keep me up to date via telephone and photos (Facebook), I have no doubt and have every faith that Park House has not slipped since we were last indoors.

It's very difficult when faced with a relative's frailty and having to decide on ongoing care. My aunt was in Park House for just over a year. She settled there immediately and was very happy. The staff ratio was very good and they were all kind, considerate and empathetic. My aunt could not praise
them highly enough. There were regular, entertaining, social activities, outings and treats. I visited regularly and found the other residents to be equally happy. The meals were excellent and varied. The home was clean, bright and welcoming – a home from home. I feel very fortunate to have chosen Park House for my aunt’s care in her twilight years and highly recommend it.

I have visited care homes but Park House is the best. All the care workers are very friendly. Would certainly recommend Park House. First time I visited Park House I knew it was a clean and friendly home.

My dad has been here for around 4 weeks now and although, as a family, we were very apprehensive about the change from living independently to living in the care home, it has exceeded all expectations. Dad has settled in extremely well and being here has given him a new lease of life.
It feels like
he's living in a caring home not in a faceless institution.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.992) out of 10 for Park House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.992 for Park House is calculated as follows: ( (257 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.992
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park House is based on 23 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
