I have nothing but praise for Deer Park, the welcoming & friendly staff, purpose built facilities, and countless activities available to their residents and regular attendees. Unlike so many care homes, Deer Park permitted Mum to enjoy respite here for a minimum of 1 week at a time. We had attended some 5 events, which were open to the community, prior to her first stay back in September 2024. This clever business initiative allowed my mum to become familiar with staff and the building prior to her first stay, minimising any feeling of being unsettled, plus reassurance that she was in safe hands. As her needs evolved the first floor (dementia floor) became a better fit for her. Mum made some wonderful friends and always seemed extremely at home whenever we went back for various open events. Catering, reception and housekeeping are all excellent. I would not hesitate in recommending Deer Park to anyone, whether it be respite care or permanent.
We truly appreciate your kind and detailed review of Deer Park. Your feedback truly means the world to us, and it is our honour to care for your mum.

Deer Park Care Home is a very welcoming place to visit. The first thing that strikes you is the buzz of the cafe or "bistro" where residents and visitors can chat over delicious drinks and biscuits. The facilities are impeccably clean and second to none - from the hairdressing salon to the small cinema upstairs, the whole place feels more like an upmarket hotel than a care home. I particularly like the many beautifully appointed lounges (of different sizes) scattered throughout the building so that when visiting with family, there is always somewhere to gather.
The staff are unfailingly lovely, caring and professional. They also regularly e-mail round the long list of weekly activities which helps keep everyone informed about events such as films, singing groups and outings.
I have no hesitation in warmly recommending Deer Park if you are looking for a new home for yourself or a loved one.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is great to hear you are happy with Deer Park and would recommend it to others.
My mother in law has been a resident at Deer Park Care Home for just over 2 years. The level of care and attention given has been consistently excellent and the environment is welcoming. The staff are now permanent and of a very high standard. Deer Park was an excellent choice.

His care needs accelerated and he has been a full-time resident since the end of August 2024. The staff have been kind and show the greatest respect to the residents.
