Review from Stella M (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Parkside Care Home

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.

Review from Pam S (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Parkside Care Home

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.

Review from Patricia W (Sister of Resident) published on 22 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
As soon as you step into Parkside you will receive a friendly and warm welcome.
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.

Overall Experience
My sister came to Parkside Care home in March 2016.
From that day, we have been treated kindly and thoughtfully. This was by all staff in Parkside whatever their responsibilities.
The home was always welcoming and clean with a homely atmosphere.

We could not have wished for a better place for my sister to spend her last days.

Review from B W (Son of Resident) published on 4 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Audrey U (Wife of Resident) published on 27 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Visiting the home is always a pleasure as the staff give you a warm greeting. Residents get to choose their own meals for the next day and the food is good and well presented.

Staff are attentive and treat every resident with respect and interest. The home manager is very approachable if you want to discuss a problem or you need clarification. The nursing care is of a high standard assisted by GP support.

Review from Andrew W (Husband of Resident) published on 21 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Nathan P (Son of Resident) published on 24 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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. 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.
