Dad moved to Deer Park in March following a short period of respite there. He has settled really well. The staff have all been very friendly and welcoming both to him and to us when we visit. They seem to really know the residents. Dad has received excellent care and really eats well - a great indication considering his appetite had been waning when he was at home. It is a lovely environment - Dad particularly likes the conservatory! Activities appear to be great. Shortly after Dad's arrival it was his 80th birthday. We had a small family party in one of the rooms at Deer Park and were provided with lovely food and a fantastic cake! Dad has a lovely, large, light room and seems to enjoy spending time there.
Thank you Kirsty for such a lovely review, we're so pleased to hear the birthday celebration was memorable for you all and that dad is settled. I'm glad he enjoys the activities and we certainly enjoy having his company too! Thanks again for the lovely feedback.

Christine was looked after with compassion during the 4 months she resided at Deer Park. She had many medical needs during this time and they were dealt with competently. I was regularly contacted, particularly after she had some falls. During her final days we were kept up to date with her condition and she was kept as comfortable as possible during that time. Thanks to all staff for your care and compassion.
Your feedback is very much appreciated and will be shared with the team.

My 99 year old Mum was the first resident to arrive at Deer Park when it recently reopened. As the only resident she was treated like royalty and as more and more residents arrive she continues to receive the same wonderful care and, when required, nursing. From the very beginning when Mum was...
It's a worrying time for family but the whole team whether it be Sue or Nic (admin) or any of the nursing or care team have removed almost all of those concerns as we know she is safe, warm and extremely well cared for. One other aspect worthy of mention is the food. The quality and variety of meals offered is exceptional, it all just adds to the knowledge that my Mum couldn't be in a better place.
Thank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review.

Thank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review.
It was a true honour for us that your Mum was the very first resident to join us when Deer Park reopened under Camelot Care , and she will always hold a very special place in the home. She is such a lovely lady and a delight to care for.
We understand it's a worrying time and so it really means a lot to us to know that the team has helped put your mind at ease. Your kind words will be shared with them all - they will be very proud.
We are also delighted that you have been pleased with the quality of care and meals your Mum receives - I shall pass it on to the kitchen!. Knowing that she feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for is our greatest priority.
Thank you again for your trust and for your lovely feedback.
Warmest regards,Sue

I have worked in the care sector since 2003, and as a registered manager of care homes since 2007.
After an early career in human resources, I wanted to pursue a more meaningful career path, so I studied for a degree in social science with psychology. On graduation, I worked first in the care sector supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism and then in nursing care or homes for older adults.
Having grown up with a close relationship with my grandparents, I’ve always felt a natural affinity with the older generation. Additionally, my mother-in-law’s dementia journey inspired me to enable excellent care and the ability to live life with dementia to the fullest.
I value the privilege of being part of people’s journey at a time when they are most in need, and take pride in working alongside the committed team at Deer Park Nursing Home, who are so sincerely compassionate and dedicated in their roles.

I was originally attracted to dementia care because I had personal experience caring for family members living with dementia, and I am very passionate about this area of nursing
I particularly enjoy building a rapport with the residents and their family members, creating a trusting relationship in order to enhance the lives of the people we care for.

I have spent over two decades working in health and social care, including as a hospice nurse and as a gastro nurse in a large hospital. My diverse experience enables me to contribute effectively to the support of our residents as well as to their families, friends, and carers.

I’ve been a nurse since 1983, serving across NHS specialities and in military deployments to conflict zones abroad. Throughout my career, I’ve always believed that the most vulnerable in our society deserve a voice, protection, and the freedom to live full and joyful lives.
I’m deeply passionate about advocating for people with mental or physical disabilities, and I find real purpose working alongside care home staff who share that same commitment. I thrive in positive environments and love being around people who bring joy to our residents.

As an experienced registered nurse, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, high-quality care to residents, particularly those living with dementia in nursing home settings.
I chose to join Deer Park because Camelot Care’s family-owned values and commitment to outstanding dementia and end-of-life care deeply resonate with my own passion for supporting residents and their families during the most vulnerable stages of life.
