My uncle has been a resident for two years. He was admitted after he and his partner were found on the floor of their bungalow. They had been there for 30 hrs. My uncle tried to help his 92-year-old partner off the floor and fell himself. They spent several weeks in hospital. My dad's partner died....
He laughs, teases the staff and has put on weight. The Oulton Park has given meaning and purpose of life back to my uncle. He is living well with his dementia. His care is planned around his individual needs. My uncle has been given his life back by the team and Oulton Park Care Centre.

We found the building and grounds to be maintained to a high standard, which, together with the facilities and potential activities on offer made for a homely feel.

Mum was only at Oulton Park for a short time (to receive palliative care) but during this time we witnessed excellent, respectful care for all. Staff quickly got to grips with a complex medical regime and ensured that family were informed of changes at all times. Mum was kept well presented and it was lovely to be able to make use of the piano rooms and family room. Lots of little personal touches and beautiful grounds made it as close to 'home' as it could be for her. Staff were friendly and efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend here.
The staff at the care home have always acted in a professional manner. The care home has always been clean and tidy. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. dad was on the nursing side of the home and the nursing staff were very good in their actions and awareness of each resident.

I attend the care home at most lunchtimes. Today when I arrived my mum's room was clean and tidy, she had been washed and changed. A carer asked what I thought that she would like for lunch. It arrived and I said that I would feed her, which I did. As we were trying to encourage her to eat the carer suggested trying custard as well. Mum's food is always presented nicely and is very tasty.
All in all I am happy with Oulton Park.

My mother was cared for in the nursing wing for a short period for end of life care. The care she received was excellent, everyone treated her with great tenderness and dignity. As a family we appreciated the opportunity to relax with a cup of tea or coffee in lovely surroundings during visiting times. It has been a very sad time for us but was made bearable knowing Mum was so well looked after.
Very good day visiting with our family.

Our family have been so impressed, we could not have chosen a better home for mum. All the staff are kind, caring and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
The food is excellent and we have been able to eat Sunday lunch with mum on several occasions which allows us to recreate family times as we did with her at home before she suffered her stroke.
Mum is encouraged to join in activities with other residents and we feel she has become part of a big caring family.
A big thank you to everyone at Oulton Park, you go above and beyond and we appreciate everything you do, you have been a great support to us as a family.
My wife has been in Oulton Park Care Centre for 4 weeks now. From day 1 she has received great care and attention from all staff. One could not wish for a better and safe place for one's loved one.

The nursing and care my husband has received in the past 6 months has been excellent. The staff are very friendly and obliging and there is a very happy atmosphere. The building and grounds are lovely and there are plenty of activities to keep the residents amused.
