Abbey Park is an amazing place. Staff are so friendly, caring, symphatic and professional. nothing is too much trouble. Not only do they look after the resident they are there for the family & very supportive to us. I was not worried about leaving Dad as I know he was being looked after there.
Thank you for your lovely review, we will pass your comments onto the team. It is really nice to hear how the staff support not only your dad but you as a family
The staff are so dedicated and caring.
My mum has lived there for over four years and she is so very happy and it's peace of mind for me because I know she is getting the best possible care and love from the staff
There are always lovely activities, I always joke that my mum has more of a social life than I do.
I've never known such a friendly welcoming place
It's an absolute joy to go in and visit, it feels like my extended family.
Thank you so much for your kind words which we will share with the team. It's lovely to hear how well mum has settled into the home and she definitely enjoys the activities, especially if they are Coventry City Football related now she is a viral sensation :)
The home and staff are lovely to all my mum is very happy there I a most happy with them thank you for your compassion to the residents the staff do all they can the staff are amazing thank you from me personally
Andy's daughter sam
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review. We will pass this onto the staff team as it is always lovely to hear feedback from family
Both of my parents are residents of Abbey Perk, my mother, in the dementia section, and my father in sheltered accommodation.
My mother has been a resident since September 2022, and the care she receives is exceptional. My father visited every day from when my mother started living at Abbey Park, and the staff and management treated him with the same care and respect as my mother, as if he was a resident himself.
In January, my father came to the conclusion that the house was getting too much for him, and decided to move into Abbey Park himself. I saw Tina, the home manager on January 5th, and my father moved into an apartment the next day; it was that quick. He initially needed some medical care, which was put into action immediately, and he's now back to full health.
Again, the care and professionalism of everyone has made his move so easy. He's happy and healthy, and gets to see my mother without the stress of driving there.
I can't recommend Abbey Park highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words. We are really pleased that your father has settled in well and it has made visiting his wife easier. I know that the staff were very excited to welcome him into Sherbourne units and its great to see how he has improved in health
My mother has been a resident since July 2024 and has been looked after both with excellent care from carers and nursing staff.
The home is split into 4 units. Each unit has a lounge and dining area which we are all able to use. Activities are undertaken on each of the units and residents can also be taken to another unit for entertainment. Entainment is provided by 2 excellent activities co-ordinators. External entertainers also attend home such as singers.
As a relative I feel it is like being a member of a big Abbey Park family. If you want to make a cup of tea for mum and I. I am free to do so. Also I am allowed to stay with mum at mealtimes and have a meal with her.Also can visit anytime. Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind comments we will be sure to pass these on to the staff I am pleased to hear that you are made to feel welcome when visiting mum and that your particular enjoy the activities
The staff at Abbey Park have done everything they can to help my Father, nothing has been too much trouble. Everyone is so friendly, knowledgeable and committed to caring for him as well as they possibly can. He has a cosy flat where he can potter around, making himself drinks and snacks as he wishes, and he can join others in the communal dining and lounge areas for activities and meals, giving him both the freedom to maintain his independence or to join others whenever he wants. Management are approachable and effective, his care team, activities team & chaplain are caring & professional and everything is clean and tidy due to diligent domestic and maintenance staff who are on hand every day. Deciding to move a loved one into a care home is never easy, but we know with Abbey Park, we've made the right decision.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I will pass these on to all staff involved. I hope your father enjoys his stay with us and is able to maintain as much of his valued independence whilst residing here
Abbey park staff from all cleaners, carers both day and night who are just amazing my mum thought a lot of you all and you all were so supportive to us as a family and made us feel so welcome and your caring of my mother was exceptional thank you to everyone who cared for my mum and supported us, then the nurses what can I say you were so amazing with the nursing care you gave my mum keeping her out of pain and in her final two weeks keeping her comfortable and pain free so thank you . Chaplin Hayley just a big thank you .
What wonderful comments, I know the staff will be deeply moved by your kind words. It is so kind of you to share your experiences at this extremely difficult time.
My aunt was cared for at Abbey Park for 5 years. She enjoyed all of the activities on offer at Abbey Park and being a life long Christian she attended the services on a regular basis. The staff were caring and kind and the place has a homely feel. It was always clean and very well kept and when we as family visited from far away the staff were always friendly and very accommodating. We as a family were always kept up to date about our aunt and they were always happy to take the phone to our aunt when she could no longer use her own. It was reassuring to our family knowing that she was so well cared for as we were so far away.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review during this difficult me, Hazel was a much loved resident and will be greatly missed.
From the moment I entered Abbey Park I was made welcome. The staff were friendly and easy to get on with. So I chose to spend 3 weeks of respite care at Abbey Park following a hip operation. It was the right decision. I needed some personal care - help with dressing and showering: it was always prompt, willing, and effective. The food was excellent, especially in terms of variety. I welcomed the chance to join other residents for lunch in the communal area - though many chose to eat in their rooms. My stay included the run up to Christmas, so there was a lively Christmas Fayre and several carol concerts including one led by a Salvation Army band. Otherwise, there would have been organised activity sessions. My accommodation was spacious, consisting of bedroom, lounge, and wet room. The lounge was ideal and convenient for entertaining visitors. I could not have wished for a more caring and supportive environment in which to quietly recuperate. My thanks to all the staff and management.
Thank you so much for your kind words Peter. We really enjoyed meeting you and as discussed I hope you feel able to come back and have a cup of coffee or lunch with us one day. I hope you continue to make good progress following your operation
My father was resident at Abbey Park nursing home during the last period of his life. The service he received was of a very high standard throughout. He had his own personal flat with ensuite which was kept scrupulously clean. Food was provided either in the dining room downstairs or brought up to him in his flat if he ever preferred to stay upstairs. The food was of high quality, and plentiful. Carers were at all times attentive and truly caring towards my father. He would tell us of his lovely chats with carers, cleaning staff, cooks, and the chaplain. We found the level of service to be very high and it was particularly reassuring that Dad really liked his carers, and it was obviously that they really cared for him as well. In the last weeks of his life, they also supported us and kept us informed throughout. It will always be difficult to find a suitable and caring nursing home for a relative, but we definitely felt that we had made the right choice in Abbey Park. Thank you!
In all his time at Abbey Park, our Dad was genuinely cared for rather than just looked after, and it gave us all a peace of mind to know that he was in such good hands. His room was always clean, the staff looked after him with dignity, the food was excellent, and he was always clean and well dressed when we went to visit him.
Thank you to all the team, particularly in Sherbourne, where Dad stayed, who made Dad's final few years as comfortable as they did - all the family appreciate your efforts.
touched us all, he was a huge character and has left a lasting impression on us all
The food is excellent - dad never complained about this apart from to say there was too much of it! Really good quality.
There is a nice garden at the back which dad liked to sit out in with visitors, and a nice dining area with a library of books.
The staff really went above and beyond for him, especially in his final weeks, making sure he was comfortable and we were kept informed at all times. We are so grateful for all everyone did for him, as was he.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We will pass your lovely comments on to the staff team
My wife of 42 years spent her last three weeks of life in Abbey park care home, the care ,dedication and love shown to us both will never be forgotten by me, I cannot speak highly of the staff and nurses over the 24 hour shift, thanks again.
Thank you for your kind words, we will ensure these are passed to the care team who cared for your wife
Dad is always clean, well shaved and in clean clothes every day.
His meals look absolutely delicious and he is eating better now than has done in the last few years.
My dad has come on so well in the months he has been here and that's down to the excellent care he receives, nothing is to much trouble.
The carers as very passionate regarding their jobs ,my dad is treated with respect and dignity at all times.
The activity program in place for the residents and for visitors to join in too is excellent ,painting, sing alongs , craft making , visits to pubs and so much more.
The activities coordinator goes above and beyond to help keep the residents busy and minds active.
We as a family are very happy with the care dad receives at Abbey park.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are really happy to hear how well dad has settled in. We will pass on your positive comments to the team which I am sure they will appreciate
Concern- when lift was out of order (10 days), there was no alternative for guests to leave the room if on 1st floor as stairlift does not work. What would happen in case of fire? Would be good if staff checked weekly for out-of-date produce as part of cleaning routine.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review, I am pleased to hear that our staff are kind and treat guests with respect and that you enjoy your visits to Abbey Park.With regards to the lift unfortunately the works required were not predicted therefore we were unable to provide an alternative...
When my father-in-law's health deteriorated, he was happy to join his wife at the care home and felt very welcome. He was relatively independent and this was respected. As his health continued to deteriorate, it was closely monitored.
Sadly it reached the point where he required hospital admission and he passed away.
We are very grateful for the care and kindness shown to him for the year he was resident at Abbey Park.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your kind words will be passed to our care team. It was a pleasure to look after your father-in-law, he was very loved and known by so many and will be sadly missed
My Sister was a resident for just over three years before passing away. She was in a suite which she enjoyed very much and valued. She was able to appreciate her situation, adapted to getting around safely with the help of a walking frame and was able to visit other residents in their rooms as well as to make her way to the dining room for lunch. The varied activities programme was something that she enjoyed and would encourage others to participate in. She valued the services provided by the Home Chaplain and was glad to help with the Services. She was also happy to be a Residents representative on the house committee and would represent their needs as part of that role. Medication was dealt with efficiently, especially the numerous eye drops which she required each day. Occasionally problems with laundry occurred and responded to. Financial matters were efficiently dealt.
My sister was sent to Abbey Park from hospital. She was received warmly and made welcome which made her happy. She was cared for very well and eventually became more independant with care in showering and washing. Her tablets and eye drops were administered by the nurse. She joined in all the activities . A minister and recently Salvation Army Officer came to the home and conducted a service and communion which was important to my sister. She sadly passed away recently but was happy and content to the end.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the home. I am happy to hear that your sister settled in and joined in with the activities. We will pass your comments onto the staff team
My mother was a resident at the care home for nine months, but has recently passed away. It took her a little while to settle in as she really wanted to stay in her own home. However, the care home is clean, warm and comfortable and the facilities are excellent. Thanks to the kind, caring, professional attitude of the staff, who are very approachable, she soon settled. Mum was treated with dignity and respect as her individual needs were met and was well looked after. She formed a close bond with some members of staff and always looked forward to seeing them.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear that mum settled in and your lovely comments about the care she received will be passed onto our care team
