We are delighted with the care & attention that Dad receives at Cornwall Park. It allows him to have a quality of life and enjoyment, that I don't believe he would have in his own home with carers. He has nothing to do but enjoy what's going on. He gets his newspaper delivered, loves his meals & enjoys
all activities & musical entertainment thats on offer. Staff are all so friendly, helpful, efficient & caring. They also so approachable. He is so well cared for we're always made very welcome, we've next to nothing do but enjoy visiting him! If Dad could wish for one thing it would be Sky TV so he could watch the golf.

Reply from Georgea Buckle, Operations Executive at Cornwall Park

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear how much your dad is enjoying life at Cornwall Park and that you feel reassured by the care and attention he receives.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum was admitted to Cornwall Park after a crisis and we have been nothing short of grateful for the excellent care she is receiving. We were immediately struck by the calm and caring ethos when we first visited and this started at our first point of contact with the manager. Staff at all levels, are
kind, respectful, patient and pay attention to detail. Of course, it took some weeks for Mum to settle (not helped by the fact that she is visually impaired) but we were reassured by the effort made to help her e.g. moving rooms to a quieter area and immediate communication if there were concerns. It is a huge relief to know that Mum is safe and well cared for.
My lower rating for 'value for money' is based on the fact that self-funded full-time care costs are absurdly high where ever, so this is not directed specifically to Cornwall Park.

Reply from Georgea Buckle, Operations Executive at Cornwall Park

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you felt welcomed and reassured by the team's care and efforts to support your mum. It's wonderful to know she's now settled and safe - that peace of mind is so important. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff and the care we provide.

My mother has been in Cornwall Park now for almost 2 years. She is 96 and has all her mental facilities. She is not capable of looking after herself and needs support with physical elements. As a family, we have found the staff and management to be very good and do a great job. One downside is my mother
is alongside dementia sufferers and finds it a lovely place sometimes as no one to talk to properly.

Reply from Phil Benson, Executive Director of Operations at Cornwall Park

Thank you for the kind review. I am going to ask the home manager to reach out to you to see if we could do more to support your mother with the issue you have highlighted.

I never knew Cornwall Park existed until a friend informed me that a very dear friend was a resident in the home. I made a journey on the 17th of May especially to see that friend! I was made very welcome by the staff and after 3 hours with him, I was overwhelmed by the attention the residents received
from the nursing staff! A very beautiful building and the inside was amazing the decor, the furniture, the freshness, etc. It is like being at home! I feel very blessed and happy to see how the elderly are so well looked after! All the very best for the future!

As a regular visitor, I have witnessed a variety of activities going on. Service users are encouraged and assisted to participate.
The staff regularly go out of their way to ensure the comfort and mental health of the service user.
I find it difficult to comment on the value of money as I am in
no way privy to the financial aspect of the service.
I take comfort in knowing that my dear friend is safe and well cared for.

I am currently visiting a friend who is now a permanent resident in Cornwall Park but has connections since 2014 when my husband was cared for until he died in 2016. He is fondly remembered by staff who are still in the place and it is a delight to feel so at home after a long period when going back!
The atmosphere is relaxed and caring and the staff are to be commended for their care and support.

My granny was a resident from October 23 until she passed away February 24. She received excellent care from all the staff. We as a family were kept informed of her health. The home is run well and the food served is good and home-cooked. She had plenty of snacks and drinks available. Her final few
days of life she was given excellent end-of-life care. Thank you to the manager and all the staff.

My brother moved into Cornwall Park in May 2018. He was immobile and in a seriously poor state of health and given his medical situation, we, as a family, did not expect him to be with us by the following Christmas. Now, almost three years later, my brother is very mobile and in sound health. He is
generally in great spirits and extremely happy. All of this completely remarkable change in my brother is as a result of the exceptional genuine care, devotion and love demonstrated by every member of staff at Cornwall Park. They really are quite a brilliant team and we, as a family, cannot thank them enough.

My friend has been in Cornwall Park since 2019. He seems happy here. It's a lot better home than he was in down in England. Just one thing he tells me, he is confused who the manager is.

Reply from Lynn Billingham, Sales, Marketing and Customer Services Manager at Cornwall Park

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review about the care your friend receives. The manager of the home took up the post in September 2020, following the promotion of the previous manager, who is still very much involved in the home. The new manager will speak to him today to reassure him of her position.

My Aunt has been in Cornwall Park for just over 15 months, much against her will, but necessary. She settled down well and likes her room, food and staff. I personally have found the staff empathetic to her needs and always a great atmosphere when we can visit. We hope once we can visit again all will
be well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.721)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.721) out of 10 for Cornwall Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.721 for Cornwall Park is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.721

  • b) 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 Cornwall Park 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
