Abbey Park Nursing Home

It is a memory which will live in our hearts. So grateful to all concerned.

Excellent care taken of my father over 3 years.

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.

It's an absolute joy to go in and visit, it feels like my extended 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.

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.

Also can visit anytime. Well done.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We as a family are very happy with the care dad receives at Abbey park.

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.

We are very grateful for the care and kindness shown to him for the year he was resident at Abbey Park.

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.
