Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited mum twice this week, and each time I come through the front door, I am greeted with friendliness and warmth. Mum is usually sitting in the lounge watching TV or dozing in her chair. She is comfortable and warm, and there is usually plenty going on to keep her engaged with her surroundings.
The carer has just handed us a cup of tea and pink wafer biscuits - lovely! All the staff are kind and interested in the mum's life and family. She is settling down, even though it's taken a little while with our sad circumstances, I am happy that Mum is safe and well cared for. Thank you.

Our mum moved into Winters Park in October 2024, she has dementia, we lost dad and the house that they lived in and we took on their dogs so there was a lot of change within a few weeks. Her moving to the home was absolutely the best thing for her (and us) it took a few difficult weeks but she is now
very settled and more engaged than we have seen for a long time and joins in with all the activities her mind may be deteriorating but she is physically quite fit.

I have found the management and staff at Winters Park extremely helpful and friendly. I am full of admiration for the way they build up relationships and interact with the residents. At all times, I have felt my husband is being given the best possible care in a safe and caring environment.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Winter's Park is a very caring and friendly place. The rooms are kept clean, linen and clothes laundered and looked after. The food is good quality and varied. The programme for the week shows enterprise in its activities. Whereas the management is unobtrusive, the staff are most obliging, helpful and
friendly and make you feel welcome. Si the residents are treated with the dignity they deserve, you know they are safe, secure and loved. The overall experience is good value for money.

Mum is a reluctant resident who has memory problems. It has taken five weeks to accept that she needs full-time care. The staff have won her over, the level of care and support is excellent. Mum is always clean and tidy. Mum enjoys the organised activities.

Review from Tom K (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've visited the resident on a number of occasions and what is striking is the service mindset of the staff and the extent to which they are customer-focused. Staff are professional, accommodating and caring, the food is excellent (I've had some of it myself), the activities are plentiful and varied
and appear to be much appreciated by all (even if not all residents are participating) and very well facilitated by a dedicated person. The fact they have a resident cat and a visiting dog adds to the personal character of the place.

The staff are fantastic. The food is superb. The "house" is clean. Staff have gone above and beyond to help my mother who broke her leg.
Super variety of activities and wonderful celebrations of holidays and anniversaries.

I am very happy with the care that mum receives. The staff are constantly welcoming, attentive and kind. It is reassuring to know that everyone knows mum and is aware of her condition. It is lovely to see more activities taking place, the amount of thought and imagination going into these are amazing.
The newsletters with photos and dates for future events are a welcome addition too. Decorations and furniture have been installed and up dated, making Winters Park more welcoming and homely.

Since the Entertainment Coordinator came to Winters Park my mother has been much happier with all the entertainment available, she loves to play bingo and enjoys music and watching everyone join in with singing etc. All the staff are lovely and very caring.

We were delighted with the respite care provided for my Mother-in-law. This is our first experience of a care home and we think it provided all the support our family member needed following her operation. The food and beverages provided were super. The staff are very loving and really do treat the
residents like family members. For many, it is a job but you see a real understanding of each resident's needs. We also felt part of the extended family which was lovely. If I could recommend two things - more frequent baths/showers and better-organised washing of clothes.

My mam moved into Winters Park Care Home in March 2023. The staff are very thoughtful and caring, as my mam's ability is very limited. She enjoys the food and the activities, especially bingo and the puzzle sheets. The laundry is well cared for.

I recently visited Winters Park Care Home, Penrith to provide entertainment with our ukulele group. We had such a lovely time that I wanted to share my experience. Every member of staff greeted us with a smile. They were all so positive, friendly and welcoming. I noticed how they treated every resident
with kindness and respect. The whole place has a happy vibe and they even have a resident dog, Vinny. He was extremely well trained and calm. I think he even enjoyed our music! I understand the food is very good here, so all in all, I left with a very positive feeling about Winters Park and look forward to visiting again soon.

My friend was settled and happy on my visit, and I was impressed by the atmosphere and the care given by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, I met the manager and staff who were all very helpful. Hopefully staying for lunch on my next visit as was offered by a lovely

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited a family friend for the first time in January 2023 and was so impressed with the home. The place was lovely, warm and welcoming, the residents all seemed happy and stimulated, and the staff were welcoming and engaging. My visit lasted about two hours, and in that time, we were offered refreshments,
a game of table tennis, took part in a quiz and were shown around by our friend and the staff. I was particularly impressed with the homely feel of my friend's en-suite room and the attention to detail; the colouring pencils on offer were good quality and sharp! It is these things that make a difference in the quality of life for our most vulnerable. I only wish my own mother-in-law had had the same experience for the last 18 months of her life recently. This is a great example of how the care sector should be! Looking forward to visiting again.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.717) out of 10 for Winters 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.717 for Winters Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.717
  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 Winters Park Care Home is based on 14 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
