Have been visiting my friend ever since she went to live there. The staff are very friendly and caring. My friend is very happy there and looks much better due to the staff and regular meal times which she enjoys. If the time comes when I can't look after myself I would be happy to live at Cold Springs
in Penrith providing there was a vacancy.

I have been visiting a family friend who is a resident in Cold Springs Park for about 2 years, and I have consistently found his care there to be exceptionally good. He is happy there and feels safe and comfortable. The carers are always happy to do their very best to meet his needs. The staff in charge
of care are always accessible and happy to discuss how things are going when we visit. The manager and administrative personnel are also visible and helpful, and so easy to approach.

My mother in law has been a resident at Cold Springs Park for the past 8 years. My experience of the service provided has been excellent. We are kept up to date on all aspects of her care. Any very minor issues are dealt with immediately. The care given from all staff is delivered in a very caring and
respectful manner. The food provided is of a very good standard in both quantity and quality. The accommodation is kept very clean. She is always very clean and has clean clothes on. Very pleased all round.

It gives my sister and myself such assurance that our mother is in a safe caring environment.
My mother has been a resident for 2 years now and it has become a home for Mum, the carers and Mum have really got to know one another.

My parents have been at Cold Springs for most of this year - they are settled, well cared for and safe. After years of juggling carers at home I can say that life is much better for them and for me. I know I will get a call if there is a problem and that we will resolve it together. In the meantime,
my parents are cared for by dedicated, kind and skilled staff in a place close to their home. I am grateful to everyone at Cold Springs who helps to make life comfortable for those who need extra help. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother was in the care home for 2 years until her death in June. from the laundry ladies, cooks, cleaners and care staff we could not fault any of them. The care they showed to us was superb. Just a shame that someone from management sent us this 6 days after my Mother's death to fill out.
How insensitive
could someone be, could not even wait until after the funeral. Would I recommend, yes to the staff, no to certain management!

The staff are exceptionally friendly and approachable. The care provided is "joined up" (i.e. all team knows individual situations). Kind and always professional, clearly a well-managed team!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care is second to none, my father has dementia but is treated with compassion and dignity. All the staff are kind and professional. Every member of the team makes a point of greeting every resident when they see them in the corridors etc and it makes for an immensely welcoming, friendly atmosphere.
The activities coordinators put on a good range of activities (some group and some individual) and a huge number of residents happily join in. The management team is superb and I know that my Dad is happy, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. All the staff work as one coordinated team and I am delighted to recommend Cold Springs to everyone I meet!

The whole care package was wonderful from cleanliness of accommodation, keeping clothes washed and returned, personal hygiene, and dignity. The caring but fun attitude of staff from all depts was brilliant, which must be hard at some times - but we were always greeted with an update and smile when we
visited, or contact via the phone. I would highly recommend Cold Springs Park to anyone.

Since my sister moved into Cold Springs her quality of life improved immensely, she was given the care and support she needed by all the staff looking after her. She began to enjoy her life again taking part in the home's activity sessions and felt safe and secure, being treated with kindness.

I was very happy with the care my cousin received during her stay at the care home. The staff were always friendly and welcoming when we visited and treated her with kindness and respect.
After a very difficult two years, following the tragic death of her son, it was reassuring to see her happy and
settled in her new surroundings and beginning to show some interest in things again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a short time in an emergency care placement, my mother moved into Cold Springs in August 2023 directly into the dementia unit. From my first visit I soon realised that the standard of care was second to none, I can honestly say that from the care home manager down to the cleaning staff were
all genuinely caring and supportive to all residents when we visited. My mother recently entered end-of-life care and we were determined to allow her to stay at Cold Springs where the staff treated her with a very high level of respect and dignity until she passed away. We would certainly recommend Cold Springs and a huge thank you to all the staff who not only supported and cared for our mother but the support that they gave to all our family.

Mum spent the last few months of her life at Cold Springs Park Care Home. We just breathed a big sigh of relief when Mum moved in. Life had been fraught before, we were worried and Mum was unhappy but at Cold Springs, the calm, relaxed atmosphere, the wonderful care and the lovely private and public
rooms made life so much better for Mum. As visitors, we also felt very, very welcome. As Mum approached the end of her life, the care she received was even more tender and thoughtful and we will always be so grateful for that. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for Cold Springs Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.672 for Cold Springs Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.672
  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 Cold Springs Park Care Home is based on 22 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 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.
