Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having looked for a suitable care home for my mother-in-law for a number of weeks, my wife and I were becoming a little despondent with what seemed available within our preferred geographic area; there was always something of concern. However, as soon as we entered Queen Elizabeth Park a huge weight
was immediately lifted from our shoulders. From the initial viewing, to our meeting with the Care Home manager, the atmosphere within the home and the feeling of professionalism and care conveyed by all staff was immediately apparent and hugely reassuring. There is a cheerful vibe throughout the building and residents all seem very much "at home".

I have been visiting my friend who is a resident at Queen Elizabeth Park for some 14 months. The staff have always been courteous and helpful both to me and my friend. My friend has benefited especially from the programme of social activities which she has really enjoyed and has given her a new lease
of life.

All the staff at Queen Elizabeth Care Home are very accommodating as far as my mum's care is concerned. She has been a permanent resident for a year and appears to be very comfortable. Should you require any contact with management or any of the other day-to-day care workers, they are always accessible
to discuss our mum's wellbeing. If looking for a residential care home for a loved one, we recommend Queen Elizabeth Park, highly.

Queen Elizabeth Park is an excellent care home. My mum was admitted to the home in May. It was a very stressful time for us, but everyone at Queen Elizabeth Park, made the process so much easier. The care they have provided to Mum has been second to none and we are delighted with how she has settled
in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is always fresh and clean. The carers are always very welcoming, helpful and professional. When I visit, there always seems to be an activity on whether it be listening to music, or a quiz, which is enjoyed by all. Although I obviously haven't tasted breakfast, lunch or dinner myself, what
I have seen, looks reasonably appetising, but I haven't asked. I would like to see what medication my Mum is on, so I will ask next time I visit. My mother seems to be very happy at Queen Elizabeth Park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has dementia. She came to Queen Elizabeth Park, at Christmas last year, following a month in hospital. She was very confused and unhappy to have lost her independence. It has taken a while, but my mum is now settled and happy. The staff have been very patient with Mum and with me, as it has been
emotional at times. There are little things which mean a lot, making sure Mum looks neat and tidy when we take her out, by this I mean, her carers make sure she is in a nice matching outfit. She has a coat, so doesn't get cold and thick socks. This is more than just doing their job. This is caring and this I really appreciate.

Mum has settled in really well. The staff are brilliant and the activities programme is really good. They go on trips out as well now which is fantastic. Mum joins in with everything and is so much less lonely than she was in her own home. She has her hair done every week which is great. I don't have
to worry about her anymore as I know she is being so well cared for, I can just enjoy going to visit her or taking her out somewhere.

Cannot fault the Home for the quality of care given to its residents. Personally, I would like to see relatives given the opportunity to be more involved. This may be an unfair comment as Covid restrictions have been applied throughout the year.

Mum has gradually become settled and now takes part in many of the activities. The staff are caring, she loves the food, I think perhaps she is again going to have to increase the size of her clothes! Although she never wanted to leave her own home she can now see so many different people every day
and she is able to have a bath regularly, which she couldn't do in her own home. She is very happy the only regret she has is that she is unable to see her school age great-grandchildren, which is not the fault of Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we could not have asked for better care for my Dad than in Queen Elizabeth Park. It was such a relief to know he was safe, comfortable and never alone. Every person was so kind and treated us with care, respect and patience - so important to us at that upsetting time. They were quick to
respond to our requests and answer our questions. Dad had Alzheimer's and other medical conditions but always seemed calm and contented. He was watched over closely and as his condition deteriorated he was looked in on every 15 minutes. The team prepared us for his passing explaining what we needed to arrange, so when the day came, they took care of everything and all we needed to do was come and say goodbye. I am personally so grateful for this; it made an emotional time so much 'easier'. Even a few months after Dad's passing, when I spoke to one of the managers, she demonstrated a genuine interest in how we were all managing. It was not just my father that got excellent care. Thank you Queen Elizabeth Park.

I have just spent two weeks in Queen Elizabeth Park Guildford resting after a knee replacement. The room was clean and comfortable, when I arrived there was a cream tea waiting for me. The nursing carers were attentive, knowledgeable and thoughtful. I really enjoyed the delicious homemade food. I would
highly recommend Queen Elizabeth Park for respite care.

A most caring home. All staff work so very hard to keep the residents safe but also provide wonderful care and a variety of activities for them to do and stimulate their minds. Also, interact with relatives so well. Giving information as soon as it’s needed.

I have nothing bad to say about Queen Elizabeth Park, the staff have been amazing looking after my cousin.

Mum feels loved and safe living there. I always get a warm welcome when I visit her from all of the staff. It was lovely visiting my second home whenever and as long as I wanted before COVID struck. In keeping all the residents safe relatives have had restricted visits advised by Government guidelines
but I know mum is being kept safe and well looked after and enjoys the company of all the staff who are caring and compassionate. It has been a great comfort to me that she is safe and well there throughout this terrible year of lockdown.

The care provided is of a very high standard. A few minor personal issues such as hair brushing and clothing could be better in my view. The staff are brilliantly friendly and personable with the residents which I’m sure has been of paramount importance during the covid pandemic when visitors were not
allowed. When my mother was in hospital for three weeks some of the carers went to visit her to make sure she was doing ok which was very touching.

Difficult to give a full review as my mother has only been in the home a week. Because of COVID, the family didn’t get to see or tour the home beforehand. However, through the contact I’ve had so far with the staff they have come across as being very friendly, kind and caring. I talk to mum daily and
she seems settled and content which is a huge relief for myself and my family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.701)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.701) out of 10 for Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.701 for Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.701
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
