At Parkside House Care Home, staff aim to provide residents with a high standard of care that enhances their quality of life in a friendly and relaxing environment.

It respects everyone's right to choose and supports the privacy, dignity and independence of each resident.

There is a separate area for residents with a diagnosis of dementia, with its own sitting and dining area allowing the care team to focus on specific individual needs. Respite and day care services are also practised.

Parkside is a converted Victorian house, with gardens in front of the home and sitting areas on the patio in the rear, where there is also a sensory garden where residents can enjoy being outside in a safe and enclosed area.

They have a small separate building in the grounds of Parkside House with its own kitchen where residents who benefit from the support and services provided by carers, laundry and kitchen staff can also enjoy a level of independence while benefiting from living in in a secure environment.

Parkside House is a very short distance from the Penarth seafront and pier and in easy walking distance from the town centre with its many cafes, restaurants and shops.

Mum has lived at Parkside since April 2021. We are so pleased that she was able to get a place there as she is so happy and settled. The staff and care provided are excellent. The atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed. It is always immaculately clean and fresh smelling. We would highly recommend
Parkside.

I'm a resident and have been for the past 5 years. I've been accommodated when a different room has become available, I've has first choice. I like joining in with activities, particularly the quizzes and outings (weather permitting). It's the small touches the staff do for me that makes my time here
agreeable.

I am a resident at Parkside. It was the best decision I made and I am very here. I enjoy the activities, especially exercises and singing. The staff are all very helpful and kind. We have entertainment every week, which is very enjoyable. When the weather is nice, we can spend time doing things in the
garden including planting.

Parkside House is a wonderful care home. The staff are kind and caring and have provided incredibly high standards of care for my granddad. The environment is warm, welcoming, homely and there are fantastic opportunities for activities or quiet time as it suits the person. Communication is excellent.
The care my granddad has received has helped him really thrive and enjoy a great quality of life, with the support he needs.

Although it's only been a short time since my husband became a resident at Parkside, I believe it's a lovely place for him to live. It has a homely feel and atmosphere. The staff and management are kind and caring. The activities programme is really good and the lady who runs it is excellent at what
she does.

My Mother has been living at Parkside House for over 6 1/2 years. The care, support, and love she has received there has been outstanding. All the staff are very pleasant and kind. My Mum is always happy and she tells me 'It's like a hotel here' when I visit her.
All the staff are amazing (too many
to name). A big thank you from all of my family. This residential home I would highly recommend to anyone considering having loved ones looked after and taken care of. My thanks to the manager.

Review from B W (Husband of Resident) published on 12 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The basics of my decision to place my wife at Parkside House were largely based on the ambience of the home but also the welcoming and caring attitude of the staff I met. My wife was looked after excellently on a day-to-day basis. She was always clean, neatly dressed, and well-fed. We were kept fully
informed of any issues that arose and I always felt we as a family and Parkside were formerly in dealing with and resolving problems with my wife's well-being taking preference over any other matters.
As a family we are always made to feel very welcome and the staff could never do enough for us to let our minds at ease. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Parkside as a very well-managed caring and homely environment for prospective residents.

This is a first-class home. The staff and management are excellent, and understanding, and treat residents with dignity, privacy, and respect. The staff listens and acts on what you have to say. The home always smells fresh and clean, the food is always tasty, presented well with plenty of choice. The
activities are great and provided 6 days a week. As a family, we are delighted with the services Mum has received. The communication is always clear and concise. A friendly and welcoming home.

My Father has been in the home for over 12 months and has just passed away. In that time he was treated with great care and compassion.
In a short period of time, he settled in well. Always had a smile and interacted with staff and all residents.
All the staff in the home are really dedicated to the
care of the residents.

My mum is well cared for and, even though she has significant issues, she feels at home. She is treated well by all the staff, enjoys her food and has built positive relationships. Parkside has recognised and accommodated Mum's needs. They have adapted and built strategies that enhance her stay. I feel
that I am very welcomed by all staff. I feel they care for Mum and she is safely looked after. Also, the home is very clean.

My mum has been residing at Parkside House for a couple of years and is suffering with Alzheimer's. She is now almost 99 years of age and is well looked after by the friendly and caring staff. She is content and enjoys the activities as far as she is able. I am grateful for the support Parkside House
has provided through a very difficult period.

Mum really enjoyed her stay at Parkside House. There was always plenty for her to do with activities like Bingo, carpet bowls, sing-a-longs, etc. It was lovely to see her making friends and chatting to the staff and other residents. The staff are very caring and nothing was too much trouble.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Parkside House Residential Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.994 for Parkside House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.994
  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 Parkside House Residential Home is based on 13 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
