The care that my dad has received as been out of this world. Thinking back to when he came to the care home we really thought we would not have much time, but thanks to all the staff that have been there for my dad he as picked up.

The garden at this time of year should be ready for residents to use and again it is not. There’s no thought into having different sections to meet residents' needs such as an area of highly perfumed plants for those who can’t see. Raised beds for those who still like to garden a little.
Thank you for your review it is lovely to hear that you are happy with your mum's care at Parkside. Our garden is ready for use some of our residents have been to the garden centre to choose plants, the raised beds have been delivered and our new furniture has arrived. We are very much looking...

My husband had 2 weeks of respite care at Parkside. He was well cared for and treated with respect which meant I could have a break without worrying about him. The home manager was very helpful and all the staff welcoming and caring. Would definitely recommend Parkside to anyone looking for a care home.
