Thank you for your lovely feedback.
Came for a respite. Made very welcome. Wouldn't hesitate to come again. Thought I would be bored, but plenty to do. Been out for a walk with the staff and other residents. All very pleasant.
Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and please visit us soon.
After looking around many nursing homes, we chose Parkside. The nursing and care staff have built a good bond with Mum. After her stroke, she cannot speak or move, so she relies on the staff for everything. As a family, we are very proactive in her care and the staff are understanding about this and have supported us all.
Thank you for your praise. We are happy to hear Parkside Care Home could help through such a difficult time. The most important thing is that your mother is cared for and looked after. Thank you for trusting us with her care.
Dad very much enjoyed laughing and joking with the team on Rose floor. At times, I felt that the staff were bound by rules which made their jobs difficult and created a delay in dad receiving therapy. But whenever dad was ill and the care and dignity shown in dad's last days demonstrated how much the staff cared deeply as if family rather than residents.
Thank you for your kind words. Our resident’s health and well being is an absolute priority. We are saddened to hear about your loss and we hope the team did everything possible to make his final days comfortable.
Overall standards are high. Nurses and carers create a kind, considerate and happy environment for their patients and visiting families.
Dining tables are laid invitingly for a varied weekly menu. The activities team encourages patients to join in where they can. 2018 saw great improvements to include outside entertainers to come along and sing-a-longs were enjoyed.
Highly recommend Parkside.

On each visit that I have made to the home, it has always been very happy by the friendly staff. The home is always clean. I have had some meals with my brother and the food was to the highest standard. I phone often and the staff are always happy to give me all the details and give me peace of mind.

My husband was cared for at Parkside for 18 months. He was here for 1 1/2 years. All his care was professional, kind and caring. My memories of that time are precious and warm. I still visit Parkside regularly to chat with residents.

The level of care and support provided by the staff was exceptional. The environment was friendly and always clean. Standards were high and food options suited her. The care staff were attentive and friendly and were always with our situation. The support medically was a great help as we were in no position to apply the meds needed.
The room as a sufficient size not too big or small and we were able to decorate as we would at home. It was also great to be able to bring pets in and the ground outside made for a nice view. I can't thank the staff so much for their support we had.

My wife had terminal cancer and required full nursing and palliative care. From the first point of contact with the home manager to her final days her care and comfort were their first priority. A room suitable for her needs and all medical requirements were set in place upon her arrival. She could not have received better care and attention from all of the staff at the home. During her final days, her dignity and well-being were paramount. For all their help and kindness the family cannot thank them enough.
Thank you for your review of our care home, we are pleased to hear that your wife has been well cared for and was made comfortable during her stay. Your comments are greatly appreciated and we will share them with the care home's manager. Our condolences, The Bupa Customer Care Team.
I find Parkside Care Home a very nice place to live. The staff here are friendly and caring, there are plenty of activities to do and entertainment too. Visiting hours are good which is nice for me. I find it nice to have my lunch and eventually my supper too in the day room. All in all, I like living here at Parkside Care Home.

From the moment my father moved into Parkside, he was treated with kindness and respect. Dad was quite ill and required feeding, I turned up to see dad while he was being fed without the carer knowing I was standing behind, I was overwhelmed with how gentle, kind and patient she was with him. My father loved his time at Parkside and told me that he was very happy there and would not want to leave.
I am very impressed with the cleanliness of the home, quality of food and most of all, the staff, from the cleaners, cooks, carers, nurses, management. I was always kept fully informed as to my father's condition and even though I visited 2 or 3 times a day I never felt that I was being a nuisance and the staff always welcomed me.
The rooms are a good size and you are encouraged to make it your home, they are bright and airy and each room will be kitted out to meet your needs.Even after my father passed away the staff did all they could to help both myself and my family, which I am truly grateful for.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your comments about our hardworking and caring staff. Best wishes to you and your family.
Caring and skilled staff. Care that is personalised. Excellent food, varied entertainment and adaptable person-centred care plans.
Thank you for your review, we are very proud of our staff who go above and beyond to care for residents!
My mum has only been at Parkside Care Home for three weeks, but I am very pleased with the care she has received so far. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and the home is very clean.
Thank you for your review. I hope that your mum is settling in and making new friends. The little things like a smile or just having some of your own personal items makes all the difference and more like home. I'm sure that you will have peace of mind knowing that your mum is safe and well cared for.
There are stimulating activities.
The food is very good.
Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that your relative is happy and enjoying the activities. It is the little things like a smile that makes all the difference.
Home is comparatively clean. The majority of staff are very helpful and good. I enjoy the companionship of other residents (some) and staff. Better than being on my own.
Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy being with us and are making friends with both staff and residents.
