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!

My stay was required for respite care after spending six weeks in hospital after passing out at home and breaking numerous bones etc in back & chest plus other problems. After standing with walking frame, the hospital discharged me only option was to go home with NHS carers, or find your own respite
care in a care home.
This care home has met all my needs and more, I can now move on with life outside hospitals. Thank you.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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?
Reply from Gemma Fryer, Home Manager at Cavell Park Care 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.

Cavell Park Care Home is, without a doubt, the nicest care home I have ever visited. The premises are like a 5-star hotel. The staff (all of them) were absolutely delightful, extremely helpful and always available. I visited with two other friends and we had lunch in the private dining room. Food was
absolutely delicious and our waitress charming. I have no hesitation in recommending Cavell Park for all the attributes referred to above!

Our mum and dad have just joined Cavell Park a few days ago. Words fail me to express our gratitude towards all the staff and residents for making them feel so welcome and at home. Leaving your home of 63 years to move into a new one is extremely hard, and settling is not easy.
To say Cavell Park is
like a 5-star hotel does not do it justice, because a hotel stay in wonderful surroundings with amazing food would not also bring the level of care provided from every member of the team there, whatever their role. The energy of the place is nothing short of incredible. The management is superb. To the manager, you run the place with your heart and you can see that running through every single member of your team. Nothing is too much trouble and it is so clear to see you are all there because you want to be and because you love looking after others.
I cannot recommend Cavell Park enough. I had no idea care homes could be this good! I would actually happily move in myself. Thank you all so much.

Our experience with Cavell Park Care Home has been excellent overall. Staff members get to know residents and their relatives as individuals. Everyone is treated with respect. The food is excellent. We had a lovely family meal in the private dining room. My father needs lots of encouragement to join
in activities but has enjoyed musical performances. He also likes going to the cafe with family members.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team at Cavell Park for the exceptional care they provided to my father during his time there. From the moment he arrived, the staff became an extension of his family, treating him with the utmost dignity and respect. They made him feel valued
and cared for in a way that truly touched us. The team also created a joyful, lighthearted atmosphere, always taking the time to laugh and joke with him, something that was incredibly important to him. The Hawaiian themed garden party was such a delight and we will treasure that special memory. These moments of warmth and happiness made a real impact. Thank you for making such a difference in his life.

Review from Sarah C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother had a respite stay as a break following her recent bereavement, She was unsure whether she wanted to remain living by herself, or have others around all the time. She was anxious about whether this was the right thing to do, but the staff were so friendly and helpful and put her at ease and
encouraged her to make contact with others and get involved in some of the activities.
Not all the activities were her first choice, at least they were available and got her involved in something different in an attempt to give her a more positive outlook. The food was lovely, with a good level of choice.
It was good that her local friends could also visit when they wanted, and that they could take her out; they too were welcomed.
Whilst she enjoyed the stay at Cavell Park, it's still too early for that final move. The plan is to wait a little longer for life to settle down before deciding where home will be, and consider short holiday breaks in the meantime.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for Cavell Park Care 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.819 for Cavell Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (396 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 474 Ratings = 4.819
  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 Cavell Park Care Home is based on 40 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 40 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.
