Parkside care home offers comfortable nursing and residential care for anyone over 18. Short stay options are also available if you’re in need of recovery or some respite. The home is also able to offer palliative and Parkinson’s care.

Overall Experience

This is a congenial care home. The staff are ever ready to help and to sort out problems. The activity staff work hard to keep us interested with affairs and I enjoy the sessions. No way could I manage to be alone again at home, therefore, I am extremely grateful for Parkside Care Home.

Overall Experience
Good levels of care.
Activities are very good.
Seen good improvements recently.
Food could be better.

Room seems a little crowded as medication and supplies are kept in there.

Review from Liz K (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother spent the final months of her life at Parkside. She was cared for with skill by the nursing staff and always with kindness and consideration by the carers and all the other staff.

She, and her family, were treated with respect and compassion at the end of her life.

the family feel fortunate that she lived at Parkside and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others who need nursing care for a loved one.

Review from Sue P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was only living at Parkside Care Home just over four months. During that short time she settled well and made good relationships with several staff. When my mother died the family were cared for with great care and respect. I felt several members of staff were genuinely affected by our loss. My special personal thanks to the staff who looked after mum.

Review from Karen B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Whilst my mother-in-law has been very poorly we have been incredibly delighted and impressed by the care provided to both my mother-in-law, and additionally the whole family. By the floor manager and the whole ground floor team at Bupa Parkside. They have gone beyond the care that is standard and made us all feel looked after and supported, but most particularly the floor manager.

We would like her to have some personal recognition from Bupa!

Review from Maureen T (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I want to say thank you for the way the whole team on Poppy Floor, led by the Deputy Manager is looking after Mum as she faces declining health. They are unfailingly kind, gentle and understanding in their dealing with her and, I believe, genuinely have her best interests at heart. The Deputy Manager in particular consistently demonstrates a high level of compassion and professionalism while caring for Mum. It seems that nothing is too much trouble. She keeps me up to date, on a daily basis if necessary, with any changes to Mum's care plan, medication and general well being. I cannot praise the care Mum is receiving highly enough.

Mother spent nearly 2 years at Parkside and I was well pleased with the care the staff provided in her time here. In a word 'magic'.
