Barchester Oulton Park Care Home

The activity staff are so friendly and we are able to join in with dad and everyone else.

Always clean and helpful.

I'd like to thank all the people at the care home for all they have done through this difficult time.

Congratulations to all concerned.

The communal areas are very pleasant and we try to join in activities when possible. All in all, it is a great comfort to us that our beloved mum is so well cared for.

I would like to say how lovely the head of memory lane is, always happy to help. Always phones if she feels we had to know anything about our loved one and always gives you time if on duty to go over the care plan paperwork. I can't thank her for the care she gives my grandmother.

Oulton Park, in my opinion, is way on top of my list. Over the last 12 months, I've visited about six care homes and the staff, quality of care, attitudes of the staff, accommodation and food are to me, top quality. I have quoted this before but I see everyone (including management) as my friends and my family and I will remember them forever.

As soon as I arrived, I was greeted in a friendly manner as well as professionally I was shown a very nice room. I felt very comfortable and at home straight away. The attitude of the staff made me feel at home and like friends, as being here cared for me. I didn't want to come here in the first place but now I am a bit sorry to leave after one week and wish I had been booked in for two weeks instead, notwithstanding I will still be pleased to go home to my wife. I have enjoyed the food but would have liked a few lamb steaks. (my favourite meat) I hope to be able to return for further respite.

My mum had a stroke in late December 2015. After two months in hospital she moved to Oulton Park. We were initially worried about the move and the change in surroundings. However my mum was quickly made welcome and was very happy at the home. The staff were very caring and attentive. I was impressed with the activities arranged for the residents.

Mums room was pleasant with a view of the garden area.

Sadly my mum had a second stroke in early April and passed away after two weeks. This was a very stressful time and the home's care team were very helpful, caring and attentive during this time. They also worked very well with the hospital and GP practice to make sure mum was as comfortable as possible.

When my mum passed away the care team were also on hand to support the family at the home.

Overall my mum spent two months at Oulton Park and her stay was a happy one. I cant fault the staff and strongly recommend this home.

In patient following major operation. The accommodation, both bedroom and general rooms, are clean, comfortable and very well appointed and visitors are made very welcome. Menus are varied with many alternatives available. The staff are efficient, friendly and caring.

We attended the mock Christmas meal. Which is a great idea. It was very professional and made to feel like a special occasion. The staff were superb!

The home itself is clean and has a pleasant feel about it. The staff are extremely friendly and interact well with the family member who is living at the home. The food is excellent, both in terms of preparation and variety.

The home looked after my husband really well and when I picked him up after the 2 days and 2 nights, he looked well and cared for. No distress at all.

Because of the neglect to my wife in another care home she returned home unable to ever walk again. I cared for her for fourteen months. Her condition gradually became worse and I had to consider a nursing home. On the advice of several people and Oulton Park was recommended. This was the best advice ever given to me as we found it an absolutely wonderful home. The staff are the most caring, friendly and experienced we have ever known. They do their utmost to treat each individual so all receive personal care.

I would like to praise the outstanding and excellent care that my nan receives from this care home. It is run supremely well and the staff are very welcoming, they work extremely hard and should be praised for the job they do. Furthermore the home is very clean and the hygiene is to an exemplary standard. In addition to this, I have been very impressed with the food and facilities. The choice and selection is that of a 5 star hotel. I would strongly recommend the home to anyone.

August admission respite while I was on holiday looked after very well.

I was immediately impressed with the home itself, light, airy, beautifully furnished, clean, carpeted and very professional in a way that didn't compromise home comfort. We knew mummy would like it, despite her situation. I was similarly impressed with all the staff and carers. Mummy was only with them a short time but they all wanted to understand her likes and dislikes to make her comfortable and were genuinely loving and caring towards her. The food is great. The gardens are beautiful. The standard of medical care and emotional care are very good. I am desperately sad to have lost my mummy but am happy that she spent her last days at Oulton Park.
