Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience with us. It brings us joy to know that our team was able to provide your mum with the care and comfort she needed. Thank you for entrusting us with your Mum's care.
She lived as part of the Cavell Park community until the 5th May 2026 when she passed peacefully.
During her time there she was respected, cared for and during her last week, shown such compassion and care which as a family was so much needed. The staff clearly cared for my Mum as we were not the only ones in tears.
Staff are not only just supportive to the resident but the family visitors too, I went any time day or night to see my Mum.
Mum struggled with activities due to her health and being younger than the average resident. But there is a large activity menu, cinema and small gym there.
The building is modern and fresh, a cafe for residents and visitors, a nice garden to walk around and a lovely bunch of cheerful people working there always happy to help.
I would recommend Cavell Park to anyone needing full time care.
Thank you for your heartfelt review. We're deeply sorry for your loss and grateful that our team could provide the care and compassion your Mum needed. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything in the future.
A delightful and welcoming environment. The ethos of care, dignity and respect absolutely pervades every part of this residential home. Residents are treated as mature adults who now in their later years require additional help to live valued lives. Staff are always welcoming, friendly, supportive and informed. I know my relative is known as an individual and liked for who she is. The home is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. It always has a happy atmosphere with lots of activities and chatter.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We know how important it is that our residents' individual personalities, likes and dislikes are honoured when they move into our home, so it is great to hear you feel this is true.
I came for respite care after a broken hip due to a fall, not knowing what to expect after reading bad reports on care homes, but I can say all I have received is wonderful treatment and service from a very caring staff. The room is immaculate, very nice to be in. With all the help and needs catered for, even with my health set backs I and they have endured. I feel like this is my home and the staff I regard as my family, and I am deeply sad to be leaving.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review. I am glad to hear we surpassed your expectations, and you will be sorely missed. Please do visit us soon for coffee and a catch up!
My parents went into Cavell Park just over a year ago and I left a review in their first couple of weeks to say how wonderful the staff and facilities are. A year on, I thought it may help others in making their decision based on so much more knowledge this time around. In short, we could not have made a better decision than to choose Cavell Park. The kindness of the team, no matter whether you are talking about catering, housekeeping, reception, caregivers, activities or management, is exceptional. Mum and Dad were both quite poorly when they arrived in January 2025. Over a year on, they are thriving. The atmosphere is just lovely. The residents care for one another too and it is lovely to see the friendships in the Bistro area. The team really knows each individual and the whole building operates like one big family. I feel like family! It is quite an incredibly run place. Gemma and Cristina - you are amazing, along with all of your team. Thank you so much for the kindness and care.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience with Cavell Park. It's truly heartwarming to hear how much the staff and the environment have positively impacted your parents' well-being over the past year. We appreciate you taking the time to update others on your journey. Thank you for sharing this beautiful review.
My sister and I are very pleased with how quickly our mother has settled in. The staff are very caring and, although mum seemed a little anxious at first, she now seems much more relaxed. It is very reassuring for us that she is receiving the care and support that she deserves at this stage of her life.
It is wonderful to hear that your mother has settled in well with us; it is our pleasure to care for her. Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review of Cavell Park.
My Godfather has settled in well at Cavell Park. I cannot fault all the staff, everyone is very approachable and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. I am glad we found such a lovely team of people to look after our godfather in a fantastic care home. Thank you for everything you do.
Thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear that your godfather has settled in well at Cavell Park. Thank you for trusting us with your godfather's care.
Mum has been given a wonderful welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. Nursing team all helpful and professional, notice the little things.
Thank you for your five-star feedback. It has been an honour to welcome your mum to Cavell Park!
The atmosphere in the home is very friendly and homely. The staff are very considerate and caring and all the staff know the residents by name. The staff are very attentive to residents and families, and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are kept clean, tidy and in good condition, and the food is of good quality and freshly cooked on site. My father was a resident for six months and was very happy there. I cannot praise the home enough.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It was an honour to care for your father during his time with us. Please know you are always welcome at Cavell Park.
The attention and care both receive is exceptional. The staff will do anything to please both residents and family. You can tell that the staff really care for the residents. They show genuine affection. They have become like a large family. I cannot praise them enough.
It is great to hear your mum and dad feel at home at Cavell Park. It is a pleasure to have them with us.
Staff have been very kind & helpful.
Fab cakes.
Thank you for your kind review of Cavell Park, it is very appreciated.
The care and dedication shown here at Cavell Park was outstanding, warm welcome efficient. Our resident had many many visitors and they still checked in every 15 minutes. We thank you for the time you gave.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review of Cavell Park. It is wonderful to hear that you have had a pleasant experience with us.
It' a lovely place, staff are friendly, very welcoming, enjoying great activities, Gemma is lovely. Christina is lovely.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review of Cavell Park. It is truly appreciated.
After being in hospital for 5 weeks it was a treat to come to Cavell Park. I know of the care at another care home (in the same group) so was prepared for a relaxing treat in order to get strong and fit to manage at home without carers coming in. Thanks to all the staff & fellow residents I leave to go home today!
Thank you for your kind review. We appreciate you sharing your experience at Cavell Park. We're pleased to hear you found our home a relaxing place to recover after your hospital stay. It's wonderful to hear you felt cared for by our staff and enjoyed the company of other residents.
This care home has met all my needs and more, I can now move on with life outside hospitals. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We are touched to hear that your stay with us has supported you during your recovery. Please know that we are wishing you continued strength, and you are always welcome at Cavell Park.
All staff very kind and efficient. Happy to assist. Nice surroundings. Good atmosphere and made me feel very comfortable both physically and in myself.
Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear you were happy during your time with us.
My 99 year old mother arrived in Feb 2025. From day 1 she felt at home. The staff are exceptional. I cannot be more thankful for whatever you do for my mother. The quality of the home is 5 star in every way.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to have your mother with us, and it is great to hear you are happy with all aspects of our home.
The care that my mother received has been way above and beyond my expectations. The staff are truly wonderful, compassionate and it can be seen clearly in their eyes how upset they have been at the treatment my mother received in her previous care facility. Virtually starving from lack of help she ate a 3 course meal when she arrived here and enjoyed a bath. She trusted the staff immediately on arrival. I cannot thank the staff enough for their warm welcome and support for both my mother and me.
Thank you for your heart-warming feedback. It is our pleasure and honour to provide your mother with the high quality care she deserves.
I find Cavell Park a really good nursing home, the management and staff are all very helpful and caring, although my wife has been there for two months, she is treated like one of the family and is loved by everyone. As I write this, the weather is very hot (33 degrees), and although my wife has a fan supplied by the family, could the rooms not be fitted with fans for such a modern nursing home?
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review, we really appreciate your kind words. We're so glad your wife feels at home here at Cavell Park. We appreciate your point about the heat and will certainly look into the possibility of fitting fans in rooms to ensure everyone stays comfortable during hot weather. Your input is valued and helps us improve.
My overall experience was very good, made to feel very comfortable. My only criticism is that the gardens look very tired and need tending to a lot more. The rooms are very nicely decorated and clean.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a five-star review. It is our pleasure to have you stay with us. As for your feedback regarding the garden, we will take this on board and discuss with the team.
