Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad lived at Abbey Park for almost 2 years until he passed away at the beginning of August. He hated needing nursing care and could be a challenge, especially as he had serious communication difficulties too but always received the best possible care while at Abbey Park. All the staff are exceptional
and clearly, care about as well as for the residents. The carers and nurses looking after my Dad became people we as a family knew and could absolutely rely on. They knew him well personally and would always go the extra mile despite his sometimes grumpy manner. In our opinion, the staff at Abbey Park display real love and compassion as well as professionalism. During his final illness, the staff were kindness itself to us as a family as well as my Dad and it made a huge difference to all of us.

Review from Maggie E (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was privileged to spend the last 6 months for her life at Abbey Park. Moving from her own home to residential care was a huge move and we were all apprehensive. The staff at Abbey Park made the transition as easy as possible.
Words cannot describe how amazing the carers were. Their concern,
kindness, consideration and absolute professionalism ensured that my Mum felt safe and valued. There are many activities that residents can partake in, my Mum enjoyed them. The staff work as a real team with everyone including the cleaners, caterers etc totally focused on caring for the residents in a tender and respectful manner.


When my Mum declined and was at the end of her life the way that the staff cared for her and supported the whole family emotionally was remarkable. This ensured that she was able to die at the home surrounded by family and love. We owe a huge debt to MHA and their wonderful staff. I can't see how you could find anywhere better.

Review from Angela B (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my Mum arrived at Abbey Park, just two months ago. I would not have believed that such a dramatic change in her health and well being was possible. After 3 years in another home in Coventry, I had almost given up hope that she would ever be happy again. I had slowly watched my lovely, happy, lively
and good humoured Mum disappear. She was often tearful and nearly always sad, and I almost dreaded going to visit her.


What a joy it is to see her now! The staff could not have been more supportive during the period it took her to settle in to her new surroundings, and what wonderful surroundings they are. The whole place is so clean and cheerful, and her room is a pleasure to be in. Her health has improved, and she is eating much better, which is hardly surprising, as the food is so good. The activities are varied and really involve the residents.


As always, it is the staff that make anywhere special. The manager has to be commended on the quality of her staff. The atmosphere that they have all collectively created here, is so warm and comforting. The moment you walk in, you are welcomed by smiling faces and a sense of joy. The staff here are so caring and show genuine love for those in their care. For the first time in years, I can relax knowing that my Mum is truly being looked after, both physically and emotionally.
I owe you all a big thank you for returning my Mum to me. Words cannot relay how much it means to me to see her smiling and happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Abbey Park has been such a breath of fresh air after having an awful experience in another residential care home in Coventry. My Nan has been a resident for just over a month now in the new residential suites and has settled in so well. It gives me great comfort to know that she is happy. I can't thank
all the staff from domestics, admin, maintenance, kitchen, activities, management, Chaplain, carers and nurses enough for all the time, care, dignity, support and love that they have shown not only to my Nan but her family too. Everyone has gone above and beyond to make such a stressful move so easy and welcoming. Its such a relief to know that she is supported with all her needs not only physical but emotional too. Abbey Park has such a friendly, warm, clean and homely atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door. I would highly recommend Abbey Park.
Reply from Tina Thompson, Home Manager at Abbey Park Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review the care that your Nan is receiving at Abbey Park. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience in another care home but am pleased to hear that you find everyone welcoming and helpful at here. I will be sure to pass your lovely comments onto the team who will be delighted to hear them.

My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and went into Abbey Park on 9th August 2011. We thought it would be a sad place, but it was warm and homely. Dad used to like looking out of the window at the chickens and rabbits and he looked forward to the tasty meals. Staff were always jovial and they became
friends of my mum and dad. The carers would often bring a tasty treat for mum to eat too. The care dad received was excellent as the nursing staff were always one step ahead of the pain. Most importantly as a family we were able to stay with dad all day and night until dad died. Thank you to everyone at Abbey park.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.571)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.571) out of 10 for Abbey Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.678 for Abbey Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.678
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbey Park Nursing Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.893
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
