This was my mum's home for five years. Whilst this environment is not a preferred one for our dear loved ones, my mum settled and felt at home very quickly. Thank you to all the staff (kitchen staff who baked an eggless cake, the housekeeping staff who took time to chat with Mum). During the challenging
times of the current pandemic, the family felt reassured that Mum was well cared for, phone call and video calls really helped. Unfortunately, mum passed away during May, we'll never forget Park House.

My Grandad was discharged from hospital into Park House Care Home duing the COVID-19 pandemic.
I was amazed with how much the care workers, Nurses and the registered manager did all they can to ensure my Grandad was comfortable before he sadly passed away.
The empathy and compassion that was shown
really blew me away, I would definitely recommend this care home.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the registered manager, the nurses, the care workers and the administrator, your job did not go unrecognised.

Staff are friendly, warm, and go beyond there duties to accommodate my dad who is a resident at Park House; I travel along way to see my dad. They are always warm and welcoming to me, and again very accommodating to my needs when I arrive! During this terrible time, they have taken covid-19 very seriously,
they have had no cases of the virus at the care home; this is due to their professional manner.

Reply from Olivia Shields, Marketing Assistant at Park House Care Home

The highest praise of all the staff, from the manager down to the cleaners. Between them, they managed to keep my wife out of hospital for well over 12 months. The manager has worked hard to inspire her staff since she has been at Park House. All the staff are totally resident-focused and try very hard
to build up good relationships. It might be nice if one of the walls in the rooms had one focus wall with pastel colours.

When we needed to find Mum a new care home while she recovered in hospital from a fall, we contacted Park House and so glad we did. We were made extremely welcome on our first visit and were given lots of information. When Mum moved in, she settled quickly and is well looked after. The staff are caring,
and handle Mum's Alzheimer's in a professional and respectful way. We are always kept up to date on any issues with Mum, both when we visit and on the phone.

Carers are very good. The food is excellent. Communication is good. The activity leader will involve my husband whenever he is well enough to join in the activities.
As a family member, I am treated very well by all members of staff.
Happy with the podiatrists and the hairdresser.

My father spent his last 5 weeks of his life in Park House and received nothing but kindness respect and high-quality care! The staff showed a high level of care and kindness to my dad and my family and went the extra mile to make his last few weeks of his life the best they could possibly be.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.558)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.558) out of 10 for Park House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.558 for Park House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.558

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park House Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
