The staff are exceptional, kind and warm and made my mum so welcome including the manager (outstanding) and reception (again outstanding). My mum's key workers are again outstanding and look after my mum with great love and care. Great care, great staff. Excellent home!

My friend lived in this care home for 15 months. She was well cared for and soon adapted to her then new surroundings.
She passed away in the care home peacefully in her sleep at the age of 106.
I would recommend the service provided.

My father seemed to be reasonably happy at the care home. He was almost blind and hard of hearing so was unable to go in with the activities which seemed to be good for people who were able, they seemed to be very patient with him when he got frustrated because of his blindness and hearing problems.

My mum has been a resident in QEP for two months now and is very happy and has settled well. The home is very welcoming and staff are friendly, kind and caring. Mum enjoys the wide variety of activities and loves her trips out in the minibus to different places of interest. She has made new friends
with both residents and staff and has lots of laughs and fun which makes such a difference to her. There is a good choice of menu and the food is excellent. Mum likes having regular hair appointments at the onsite hairdressing salon. We appreciate your hard work and we are enjoying being part of your kind and caring family.

After having spent three periods of time in hospital with depression in 2005 the Doctor advised me to go into a care home.
Taking this advice I viewed a few care homes and selected Queen Elizabeth Park.
I have not regretted my choice as it is a homely care home.
A cheerful caring staff with a very
good caring manager, who in her two years of being here has done more than the previous managers, having improvements made for the benefit of the residents.

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister who spent two weeks with you over Christmas period 2016. Since returning home she has not stopped telling us just how much she enjoyed her stay with you and can we arrange for her to come back next Christmas, your staff were wonderful the car could not
have been better and the accommodation was great. A special mention and thanks to your house manager who made us all feel welcome. My sister who is very disabled has spent Christmas at various care homes for the last six years say that this was the best ever.

My daughter contacted the manageress of the above care home with a view of providing 2 weeks respite care for me (96 years) whilst the family were on holiday. We were treated with kindness and courtesy. The family went off and I went to Queen Elizabeth Park with some trepidation. Not for long, because
I was greeted with warmth, consideration, care, and above all, humour.
All the staff are devoted to their tasks with a smile and an encouraging word to the people they are caring for. I am grateful for the experience. Thank you Queen Elizabeth Park.

QEP is a friendly and welcoming Home. The nursing care on the 1st Floor is outstanding. Nurses and carers pull together as a dedicated team who have supported my husband with compassion and understanding through some traumatic times over the past seven years. Although the work is physically demanding
and emotionally draining, nothing is ever too much trouble and residents, however difficult, are always treated with dignity and respect. For the past seven years the staff have supported both of us with love and friendship which we will never forget.

The home is happy and helpful, clean and tidy, it has a extensive activity programme which include visits by theatre groups, musicians, weekly opportunity for residents to go out into the community and in house activities also. Although the time mum is there is difficult and there are things that could
be improved she is well cared for.

All the staff, employed in whichever capacity, are a credit to the care home.

On entering the home there is a warm, friendly and welcoming experience. Our whole family were very impressed with the warm and loving and caring attitude to both my husband and us. Nothing was too much trouble. In spite of the work being very hard and tiring, the staff are very cheerful to both the
residents and their family. There are not enough words to express how much it meant to us during a very painful time, the love and care we received.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.687)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.687) out of 10 for Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.687 for Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.687

  • b) 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 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
