I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the care home. The staff was, without exception, friendly, caring, and helpful. I was made to feel safe and welcome. The staff ensured I received the medical and nursing care I needed following my stint in the hospital. The food was very good and helped me to regain my
appetite after a period of weight loss. My condition improved considerably after the care of the home.

Croston Park has been the most wonderful home for my mother. It is set in beautiful grounds which makes outdoor activities and visits a real pleasure. She was loved and cared for as part of a family and visitors quickly became part of that family atmosphere. The cleanliness is impeccable, and good plentiful
food is a priority. The staff need a special mention as their love and compassion throughout all circumstances is boundless. Mothers stay at Croston Park was a very happy period in all our lives.

My dad came to Croston Park for end of life care. His stay was brief however the staff connected with him instantly and provided the highest level of care. My dad was comfortable, treated with dignity, and supported until he passed. Staff was kind, attentive, and communicative and I thank them all.

My husband resided in Croston Park from December 2019 until 30th April 2020. He was treated with great kindness and caring. It was a massive relief for us his family to know the wonderful treatment he was given. We were so lucky he was able to go to Croston Park. He had an inoperable tumour and they
made the few months of his life very comfortable. All the staff are lovely.

It was a wonderful pleasure supporting this gentleman, he had a great sense of humour and was a joy to care for.

My aunt spent her last few weeks at Croston Park where her care was excellent. On behalf of the family, I’d like to thank all the staff for the care given to her, which I am sure made her last few weeks as peaceful as they could be. It can't be easy, especially in the current situation. My uncle has
early-stage dementia and great consideration was shown to him too on his regular visits to my aunt.

My dad was in Croston Park for the final 12 months of his life and I thought the staff there cared for him extremely well, with themselves no doubt under extreme pressure. I could not praise the staff highly enough for their efforts and the way they made Dad's end of life so dignified.
Only things
I would say is the food is at best very average, particularly the evening meal and I suspect there should be more staff to cope with the demands of the home.

My dad was only a resident for a short time and whilst he was there he was treated with dignity and respect. I arrived at different times and no matter when I attended, you could hear staff talking to the residents in their care in a kindly, patient manner. Dad's room was well appointed and the communal
areas were comfortable and homely. The staff kept me informed regarding Dad's care and they ensured me that all his medical needs were met. The home has a friendly atmosphere and when I visited I never felt I was in the way and was always welcomed. I would recommend the home to anyone's loved one.

Since the moment my mum set foot through their doors, my mum was treated with respect. She was looked after as I would look after her myself, maintaining her dignity and cleanliness. The staff were very helpful (nothing was a problem for them) and extremely kind (always willing to give hugs). The rooms
were spacious, personalised and always extremely clean. The care home sorted all financial matters out very quickly and efficiently and at the end of my mum's life, they could not have done more for us and her. Well recommended !!!

My mum lives contentedly in this beautiful nursing home due to a stroke and dementia, she is always treated in a very personal, kindly and respectful way from all the staff. I feel like she is now in a big happy family, she makes her own choices suitable outfits with accessories and enjoys her weekly
hairdressing. She is assisted gently with her meals, and mum is encouraged to join in the activities such as flower arranging, quizzes, singing and chair based exercises. She especially enjoys the trips out, the singers and pets who visit the home. Relatives are always welcomed they giver ideas at a three monthly meeting and we are kept unformed of mums care needs frequently. The kindness, patience and cheerfulness of all the staff ensure my mum is happy at this special time of her life for which myself and my sisters are extremely grateful. Thank you to the manager and all her staff.

My wife was admitted to Croston Park Care Home on the 2nd of December 2009, needing full nursing care. The manager wrote to me, at that time, stating that they are able to meet all of my wife's needs. This they have done for the past six years and continue to do so, today!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Croston Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.801 for Croston Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Croston 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
