Overall Experience

My mother was in Carpenders Park Care Home for 2 weeks as respite, and I cannot praise all the staff enough. They are so caring and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum was nervous about going in but has thoroughly embraced and even enjoyed the experience, especially the activities.

I cannot thank you all enough. I'm sure we will be back soon!

Reply from Claire Masterson, Home Manager at Carpenders Park Care Home

Overall Experience

Overall, an amazing care home. All of the staff go above and beyond with the care and compassion shown to residents. I have found all of the staff to be very approachable - nothing is too much trouble. This is a wonderfully clean home and the facilities and programmes of events are plentiful and varied.

I love how the residents can personalise their bedrooms with their own treasures and memories.

Overall Experience

Well the team have done it again!
Our son wanted to celebrate his engagement with his beloved Nan.
We booked the small dining room for lunch as he didn't want his Nan to miss out and wanted it to be special to make memories.
We were greeted by a particular member of staff who was attentive throughout

but also gave us space as a family to celebrate.
The food was fresh and delicious and plentiful, big shout out to the catering team.
It was lovely to have a small intimate celebration but what was also nice was that residents and staff took the time to congratulate the happy couple which made it all the more special.
Well done Carpenders park team, you just keep giving and nothing is too much trouble.
We all love it there and to see mum so happy is just the icing on the cake.

Overall Experience

Dad came in to Country Court, Carpenters Park, as an emergancy, we rang up on the Thursday had the assessment with the Manager who made the family very relaxed at a stressful time, and brought him in on the Friday. He has been there for 6 weeks and getting used to his soroundings. The Home and staff

are like one big family nothing is too much trouble when it comes to care and answering family questions someone is always on hand to talk to, the residents have a button chain round there neck for any sort of help in my father's case he uses it to ask for a cup tea. He is showered, shaved which he has a favourite young man who does the best shave ever, can't mention names as the review has said not to. His clothes are always clean and even had a hair cut always looks smart. We know two other people who have spouses there and are very happy with the level of care. Thanks to the whole Team

The staff appear to really care for my father and nothing is too much for them. He has recently been quite verbally abusive to them but they shrug it off and just do their job in caring for him.
I know he is getting the best care possible.

Overall Experience

Two staff members in particular and the team have all been magnificent both in facilitating getting my mother-in-law admitted to Carpenders Park Care Home, dealing with social services and all the issues this entails. I cannot speak highly enough of two staff members in particular. Once there, the team

are all friendly, Efficient and caring. The home itself is spectacular to see that her mother has a new lease of life, especially as she is now over 100 years old. I cannot recommend this facility highly enough.

Review from Nicky J (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I feel very lucky to have found Carpenders Park Care home for my dad who was in need of emergency respite care in December. I knew as soon as I walked through the doors that dad would be ok here! Not only is it spotlessly clean and beautiful, but more importantly every staff member is kind and caring!

From the manager and staff in the office, and on reception who are always available to help and offered me such kind support when dad first arrived and continue to do so, to the housekeeping staff who make sure dad always has clean clothes and clean surroundings to the teams that serve meals and the care for residents, every one of them are kind and care!
Dad is being very well looked after and all his needs are being met. He is enjoying the beautiful food which is thoughtfully prepared and presented as well as the constant supply of snacks he is offered. He is comfortable, safe and warm and has a constant watchful eye on him 24/7!

I am really happy with the care that my dad is receiving and the support that my mum has received at a difficult time. The staff are all very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The facilities at the care home are lovely especially the bistro. I also feel that we have been kept informed about

I have to write to say how well my dad has been treated. I felt comfortable enough to go on holiday and was kindly sent messages from one staff member in particular, which made me so grateful that I could relax and not worry. Two members of staff are also amazing as is everyone here. My dad is always

saying how well he is looked after.

Review from Leanne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum had managed at home with carers and an awful lot of support from my Sister and me. After a long stay in hospital, we realised Mum needed more support. Many homes in the Watford area were visited, but Carpenders Park home was head and shoulders above the rest, in their decoration, carers, and management.

Unfortunately Mum has very recently passed away, but I cannot thank Carpenders Park staff enough for caring for Mum so well and making her feel safe and welcome. Most of all they gave me my Mum back. My sister and I were able to spend quality time with Mum, without worrying about her.
Whilst in there, it was my sister's 50th Birthday. They home-baked cakes and scones, ordered flowers, a bottle of bubbly, and a gorgeous card. Then put on a tea party for Mum and close family to celebrate her daughter's 50th. In my books, you do not get better love and care than that. My only concern was she was not able to spend longer in this wonderful environment.
