Knowle Park

A beautiful period property - Edwardian/Georgian. Now in need of some repair work/extending, renovations, well-furnished rooms. Helpful, willing staff. Mainly foreign care workers. The overall standard is let down by the poor quality + preparation of the food, which is very basic.

My aunt has only been in Knowle Park for a few weeks, but she already looks much healthier and well cared for. Although she says that she wants to go home (which is quite understandable) she seems settled and 'happy'.

I want to say a big thank you to all the staff. They are all so friendly and welcoming, whatever their role. They seem to know my husband well and understand his diffculties which can be challenging at times. They show incredible patience with him. When they see either me or our daughter, they give us the latest information and, if they have time, stop to chat. We know how he's getting on and what he's finding difficult. He can't communicate with us himself so these exchanges with the staff are very important to us.

My mum was only at Knowle Park for a week, but it was the best week she spent in care. Her room was lovely, with views outside to the garden, and with a TV perfectly placed. The staff were both professional and very kind-hearted and looked after Mum in a very caring way. Even though she had only been a resident for a week, when she passed, all of the duty staff showed genuine compassion to our family members. I cannot thank them enough.

I have spent 2 weeks visiting my mother daily for most of the day, my mother has settled in nicely at Knowle Park Nursing Home and she now considers it her new home and wants to stay there. She is enjoying the ooutside walks and countryside air and views. The staff treat my mother with respect and dignity and she is feeling very much loved. The meals are delicious with generous portions. My mother celebrated her 100th Birthday in Knowles conservatory with family. Decorations were excellent and her room was also very well decorated. The staff brought in the birthday cake and helped. The buffet was excellent with plenty of good food and drink for all. As I live in Canada it gives me peace of mind that Mum is very well cared for and happy in an excellent facility. Thank you everyone.

My mother has been a resident for 2 months and we have the comfort of knowing that we chose the right nursing home. All of the staff are incredibly kind, caring and respectful. The rooms are beautiful and there is room to accommodate many of her own personal items.

Our mother was a resident for six weeks, until she sadly passed away. Her care was amazing, from the day she arrived until the day she passed away. The support and care we, as a family received during mum's last days was wonderful, all staff were outstanding. Thank you so much Knowle Park.

I cannot express my families gratitude enough. My mother received excellent care, and this care extended to her family aswell. I recommend to any family needing care for a loved one to use Knowle Park.

I have always found the staff to be extremely efficient in looking after my husband who is on end-of-life care, but more importantly they perform their duties with consideration and kindness. There is a friendly atmosphere of good cheer and optimism at all times which is so important to anxious relatives, and the nurses are always available and willing to discuss any matters concerning the welfare of the resident. I am so glad I chose Knowle Park to look after my husband as I know he is comfortable and content and is receiving the very best of care.

Knowle Park Nursing Home is everything that I hoped and wished for. The staff are all superb. The food is fantastic

I cannot imagine a lovelier home. The staff are superb. The food is fabulous. Quiet, peaceful, sevene, beautiful rooms. Glorious gardens and wonderful views. We both do appreciate being able to enjoy eating a meal together in his room. The chef is a lovely Michelin star, and to be congratulated. The manager and her superb team of carers and her overseeing of such smooth running supervision.

My mother came to Knowle Park Nursing Home for terminal care. I cannot express how much my parents, my sister and I are thankful for the most wonderful care my mother was given and the care and kindness my parents and my sister and I were shown. What has been the most difficult time has been easier to cope with because of all the amazing staff at Knowle Park. We want to thank you all so very much and will always recommend you.

Great work to all at Knowle Park and thank you for everything you do.

Of course, all of this comes at quite a high price, but it's certainly not out of line with care homes of this quality in our area. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Not only because our mother's end of life care is so important to us but also because we too find our frequent visits to Knowle Park such a pleasurable experience.

Mum is a long-term resident of Knowle Park, arriving from hospital in February 2021. Knowle Park itself is an airy and light building surrounded by well-tended, often colourful gardens which residents enjoy in the warmer months. The staff are absolutely magnificent. They were quick to recognise Mum's preferences for simple food, minimal medication, Elvis and cola. There is a staff star of the month nomination box, but every month, we would have to put all the staff names in, as each and every one of them contributes something unique and special to Mum's ongoing care and our peace of mind. Doors are always open, and at each visit, I've found Mum and her room to be fresh, clean and comfortable. Management have been swift to provide wanted advice, and nursing staff is always available to explain and chat through health issues. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Knowle Park.

I have found everybody really helpful and helped with different problems that I had in the past and the carers helped me through it.

Our dear and close friend originally went for some respite care as she lived alone and was in need of some extra care. The care and kindness she received from all members of staff was amazing and she was very happy there and decided to extend the stay in the beautiful room she occupied. The staff were always very welcoming to us too. We spoke to the manager about long-term care as she realised she would not be able to live alone at home. However, sadly her health deteriorated and she received end-of-life care and passed away peacefully in our presence.

When I came to Knowle Park I was very poorly having had a stroke after my husband died. The care home has put me back together again and it feels like my home. I had planned to move to a retirement village but could not get back here quick enough!

My wife has only been a resident for 17 days (after 55 days in hospital) but so far so very good. Unfortunately my wife's mental state alongside her physical issues means that she is unable to properly appreciate the facilities and all the care that is being shown for her but not knowing what to expect, I can only say (on behalf also of my daughters) how reassured we are about how well she is being looked after on both the medical side and all the other aspects of her stay. I have not ticked any of the activities boxes as she is currently unable to participate.

I can't speak highly enough of our experience at Knowle Park and it is definitely my mother's first choice should she need care in the future.
