Dad has settled into the care home with ease and much better than we anticipated. Staff always make time to speak with him and there is always a ready supply of food, snacks and drinks. Medication and health checks are well managed.
It is a busy and unpredictable working environment, things go wrong, but the staff are approachable and always endeavour to help.
He is a quiet gentleman and doesn't always take advantage of the entertainment and trips out that the other residents enjoy, but that is no fault of the care home. There is always plenty going on and it is also nice that families can attend many of the events and visitors are always made to feel welcome.
It is not how anyone wants to end up but I certainly feel that Dad is safe and secure within the home and he is enjoying it as much as he can. Overall Very Happy.

From the time my wife arrived her mood and body language changed. She relaxed and became positive. This was because she was made to feel welcome. The staff have been professional, conscientious and caring. They get things done promptly, this has enabled my wife to settle quickly, and also there are many activities and areas to relaxed. My wife is lively and commutative, so her days are full of interest in order to please her, no stone is unturned. I am extremely grateful and relieved that my wife is so content.

Overall very happy with the care our mother received. Couple small issues but soon rectified. Home was warm, clean and smelt pleasant not like some others I've been in. The care our mother received towards the end was excellent and the food trays we received. Those last 2 days was a surprise and a lovely touch.
The chief had rang in the morning sick. The residents had pizzas and chips for lunch. There was general chaos as staff numbers were low.

The chief had rang in the morning sick. The residents had pizzas and chips for lunch. There was general chaos as staff numbers were low. There weren't enough chips for Mam, and her pizza was cold by the time the staff were able to serve her in her room. I felt for the staff who, without a manager or deputy, had to resolve the situation. They did well and were cheerful about this. However totally unacceptable for staff & residents.
On that day, the chef called in sick unexpectedly, and unfortunately,...
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding Stanley Park. We are very sorry to hear about the disruption to service during your visit and fully acknowledge that the experience you described was not acceptable.On that day, the chef called in sick unexpectedly, and unfortunately, both the manager and deputy were also unavailable. This placed additional pressure on the team, and while they remained positive and did their best under challenging circumstances, we understand that delays and meal quality suffered as a result.
I would like to assure you we have now taken several steps to ensure this situation will not happen again. We now have a bank chef in place who is on call and available for any such eventualities, providing immediate cover when needed. In addition, we have sourced a supply of high-quality, pre-prepared meals that staff can use if needed, making our system more robust and responsive moving forward.
It’s also worth noting that, on the day in question, residents were asked and chose the meal option provided, which was pizza and chips. However, we recognise that not everyone received their food in a timely or satisfactory manner, and for that we sincerely apologise.
We appreciate your understanding and your recognition of the staff’s efforts. We remain committed to learning from these situations and ensuring high standards of care and service for all our residents.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly if you would like to discuss this further. Best wishes

Stanley Park is the perfect home from home for my grandad. Staff are so caring & friendly and go out of their way to assist him. The grounds and gardens are well kept & the food at the home is fabulous, we always get offered a cup of tea & a bite to eat. I can't recommend the home enough.

The only TV lounge with noisy disruptive residents, shouting, squealing and banking. His bedroom is bare because ornaments and possessions go missing or get trashed. His new TC set after seven months and the screen is cracked. His bedding isn't changed regularly/for six weeks and even when soiled, he is prescribed two Tena pants by his GP but he is not given them by carers. On three occasions when visiting, he was still in his pyjamas at 2 pm, afternoon. So have to wash and dress him myself. I am 85 years (no towels in room). I have seen other residents wearing his clothes, and I can't afford to provide other people with clothes/need locks on wardrobes.

The staff are very approachable. Residents are treated with dignity and respect. Relative opinions are listened to - suggestions in the main are implemented, but reminders are needed on a regular basis of routine/personal hygiene requirements! Feel confident that staff are caring. It would be nice if residents received support and encouragement to be involved in routine "household" tasks, dusting and making a snack or drink. Staff are excellent at communicating any concerns and allaying our anxieties in the event of any falls etc. 100% confidence in them keeping residents safe.

I served in the Scots Guards for 25 years before moving into adult social care. My military background gave me strong leadership skills and a calm, adaptable approach, which I now use every day to support residents and colleagues at Stanley Park.
Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Home Manager and was drawn here because of the organisation’s strong values and reputation for delivering person-centred care. I believe the most important part of my role is being supportive and understanding, ensuring good communication and teamwork throughout the home.
I would describe myself as flexible and patient. It’s important to me to make time to connect with both residents and colleagues. My favourite part of the day is sharing a laugh or a fun moment with the people around me. Seeing residents happy and enjoying themselves makes me incredibly proud.
One of the highlights of my earlier career was taking part in the Queen’s Birthday Parade and seeing different parts of the world through my military service.
Outside of work, I enjoy fishing and camping.
