Overall very good level of care. Good menu variety and satisfactory, acceptable healthy food offered. Very good, activities, including performing singing artists. Lovely garden area, with seating available, for residents to enjoy, all year. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed.
I am writing this review about the activities co-ordinator at Trafalgar Park, who is an absolute delight! This person is caring, kind, supportive, funny, happy, professional, loving and takes the time to make every individual feel special. This person is in the right job, has put in place a weekly timetable including bingo, gardening club, hobby club, quiz of the week, music movement, as well as arranging singers and animal grooming, something for everyone. She has a beautiful smile, a gentle voice and engages with everyone. She goes out of her way to give me updates and photos of my dad in everything he takes part in. She is an asset to the home!
I am very happy with the response time, getting my mother into the home. The staff have been excellent and the facilities are very good. My mother has picked up healthwise physically and mentally since arriving. She has even started walking with a frame thanks to her carers. She had not walked for 6 months prior to this. I cannot say a bad word about Trafalgar Park. They are amazing.
I am absolutely delighted with the care my mum has received since coming to Trafalgar Park. The carers are fantastic. My mum hasn't looked so well and happy in months. I cannot thank the staff enough!
Our first visit. On arriving at the care home we found car parking to be very good. The security was excellent on ringing bell to access wards door was opened in seconds, a member of staff asked who we wanted to see and we were shown to a nice area, while she brought the person we were visiting. Looking around we remarked how clean the home was and how friendly and helpful staff were we chatted to a therapist called Julie told us about activities that they arrange for them. She also showed us dining room which we were very impressed with. The resident we were visiting was quite ill on arrival we were very surprised to see how much she had improved in a short time. Our visit lasted an hour which was most enjoyable. In that time we noted how well the residents looked they were obviously well cared for the home and staff are a credit to you.
I felt mum was in good care once she came here. Straight away the nursing staff addressed mums preasure sores and have been working proffesonally to get them healed. I notice staff check on her regularly and mum does seem more allert most of the time.
Mum has been here 2 weeks and looks so much better already. The home is lovely and the staff even lovlier. I can now sleep at night knowing she is safe and happy.
Excellent all round.
Absolutely excellent, fabulous, friendly staff, lovely residents.
The home is clean, well presented. The staff are attentive and responsive. They are very person centered, always respectful and ensuring dignity is afforded to the people living in the home. We are always welcomed, the team go out of their way to support my mother in law and all the people in the home. Really recommend this home.
Dad has been at Trafalgar Park for 6 years during this time he has recieved the best care. The staff are excellent and are always happy to help with any queries about dads care. Dad is very happy to stay here which is very comforting for us as a family. Very happy. Dad has moved a rooms a few times and this has always been done with no stress to dad. The home always look clean and well kept. Dad also loves the food. Compliments to the chef.
All the staff are always friendly and helpful. The premises are clean. A lot of activities for the residents.
I'm always made to feel welcome when I visit. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. My brother is comfortable and well cared for.
I visit Trafalgar Park Care Home regularly. I am always treated with care and respect by the members of staff. The staff have excellent customer care skills.
My mother has been a resident at Trafalgar Park Care Home for 4 years now. We cannot thank the staff enough for the care and kindness that they give. Everyone in the home is so kind it creates a very caring environment. When you enter the home there's always a fresh, lovely odour which continues throughout, proving the cleaners are very conscientious. My mother's dietary needs have changed and the kitchen staff ensure that she has the correct balanced diet. My mother's appearance is always immaculate, as are all the other residents. We visit every day so we notice these things. The home is well-maintained. The new colour scheme makes a big difference, it looks so homely, thanks to the maintenance man. The nursing staff constantly monitor my mother and they contact the doctor when necessary which ensures my mother's condition is well-managed. We are always updated about all aspects of my mother's care and support needed. It's so difficult to have a loved one go into a care home but this care home certainly provides us, the family, with peace of mind.
Currently not much entertainment being booked for residents but carers regularly play music/karaoke and do some dancing and singing just to provide extra stimulus/bit of fun to engage the residents! Lovely to see.
My mother is on Grace - the care she receives is excellent. They are compassionate and very understanding of dementia. They are caring and professional and personal. There is a lack of activities and family are not notified of any singers or activities - previously had posters up but this has ceased and family are missing out on this with their loved ones.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments about the care your Mother receives in Trafalgar Park. We were sorry to read your comments about well-being in the home and want to reassure you that we are in the process of recruiting for this post and have an individual onboarding. We will ensure that...
I have always found that all aspects of the home were welcoming and professional. The work carried out by the staff is always done with a cheerful attentive and diligent. The care that is shown is consistent and shows a willingness to provide the best care possible.
Very satisfied with my mother's care.
Mum is thriving here! Cannot praise Trafalgar Park enough! Excellent care. The staff are very respectful. She has another family now who treat her with love and kindness.
