Excellent atmosphere. All the staff are friendly and approachable. Mum enjoys all the activities. It feels like home for Mum; rather than a nursing home and all staff feel like an extended family. Management is always available if required.

My father was admitted to Rushden Park for end of life care. The care and attention he received was second to none. At all times the staff were caring, gentle and yet fun. The staff and management constantly cared for him with dignity and respect. I would have no hesitation in recommending this establishment
and I thank you all for all that you did for dad in his final days.

We found the transition from hospital to Rushden Park very smooth and centred on our dad's needs. We could not fault the ease of his move to Rushden, the staff were extremely welcoming to Dad and us as family.
His care in the home was excellent and he said he was very pleased with being at such a nice
place. Thank you for your kindness and care.

Over the last seven years, our mother and brother have both been residents at Rushden Park. The atmosphere was always welcoming and the staff very caring. We felt able to visit whenever we wished and as a family, we felt supported, particularly in their final days.
The pastoral and social elements
of the home make it special. Our experience of Rushden Park will always be positive and we are very grateful for that.

Dad moved in on the 11th February 2019, knowing he hasn't been able to do any of the activities, but he has enjoyed his stay. The staff have been excellent. Dad's impression of the home is that it is a 5 star hotel and that he was happy. Very happy as a family. We would just like to say a big thank
you for all everyone has done.

Absolute Angels - all staff - except for a few night staff. Management was amazing. Careworkers on days all deserve medals, so helpful, except one. They made my mother's final days happy. My family felt like friends not angry relatives, waiting for answers. They were always willing to talk and explain
what mother was going through.

I feel my husband is being very well cared for which is a great comfort to me and our family.
Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome when I visit (which is every day) and always have time for you.


The food and laundry service is excellent and the home is very well run throughout.
I can't

thank them enough and I have recommended it to other people.
I would also like to mention that the activities are second to none.

My Father was in Rushden Park for 5 years until he, sadly, died in March 2018. The care and love shown to Dad was exceptional! We could not have asked for better. He was treated with the utmost respect and care. We were encouraged to make his room his home - which we did. The love and care also extended
to us as a family. They could not have done more for us all. Thank you.

Dad was only at Rushden Park for two months, but, to our delight, he was always treated with great care, dignity and respect. The nursing home was always clean and tidy, the food was excellent and, most importantly, all the staff were very caring and observant and all residents were treated with respect.
Dad enjoyed going to the church services every Wednesday and we found the pastoral care directed our way to be of great comfort. Our sincere thanks to all concerned.

My mother passed away at Rushden Park on 5th August 2017.
The care she received was excellent from all staff. Not only was mum cared for but was fully supported during the 2years and 9months of her stay.
Rushden Park and their staff have played a big part in my life and I fully intend to continue
this relationship.

My mother receives extremely good care.
This is of a highly personal nature with care givers showing deep empathy for those in their care.
The standard of food and hygiene are well above the norm that I have witnessed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Six years ago Rushden Park provided wonderful care for my father during his last few months. Four years later my brother suffered a major stroke in France and I had no hesitation in repatriating him to the UK and Rushden Park. The care and compassion shown to my brother were out of this world and I
know he couldn't be in better hands. The staff take great care to learn about their residents and provide as personal service as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has advanced Parkinson's Disease and diabetes (insulin dependent). I had a great many reservations about him going into a care home. However, on having a tour with a lady chaplain, my fears were overcome. There is an over-riding feeling of care, compassion and good humour. My husband and
his room are kept clean. The staff nurses and carers are always cheerful and willing to help in any way they can, they are sensitive to my needs as well as my husbands. The food and choices seem to be varied to suit the residents needs. Keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for Rushden Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.465 for Rushden Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (31 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 303 Ratings = 4.465
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rushden Park Nursing Home is based on 24 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
