My friend came to Peaker Park in 2019. Initially, she was mobile and would leave her room but liked to be on her own. She always knew me and wanted to go home. This was not possible due to her illness. The staff were always caring and patient with her. Her mobility deteriorated and she became more confused and incontinet. When I visited, she was always clean with a drink to hand. I trusted the staff to give her the best care, which I am sure they did. She gradually deteriorated, and I came to realise how fond of her the staff were. She was allowed to pass away peacefully with dignity. The staff were exemplary and supported me at her death by preparing me so I could be with her.
Their care and compassion for the resident and their family cannot be praised enough.
Peaker Park Care Village - Melody Court. When I first heard my father was going into the care home I was worried due to the large bed capacity. However, shows you should never judge a book by its cover. On first entering the village I was amazed at what I saw, beautiful buildings and gardens, it looked very clean. Old Red Post boxes and telephone boxes a reminder of the past. On walking into Melody Court we were greeted, given an overview of visiting times, logging in and out of the buildings in case of fires etc. We were introduced to the senior carer looking after my father, who told us about their plans, his medication as we were concerned about his previous doziness in the hospital. On seeing my father's surroundings made me feel at ease, from the caring staff, where nothing was too much. To the point we were advised my dad was now being treated as end of life. Right up to the end of his life these carers made sure he was looked after and made sure we were comfortable. Amazing staff.
We were so relieved when we found Peaker Park after our father’s previous care home could no longer meet his needs as his PSP deteriorated. The complicated presentation was extremely challenging, yet the unflappable unit leader and a confidence-inspiring nurse reassured us from the first Zoom interview. Nothing we told them put them off or even caused a raised eyebrow. Where other care homes refused to accept him without constant one-to-one supervision (which we felt was unacceptable for his quality of life), the Peaker Park team calmly took care of him and kept him as safe and as happy as possible.
The reduction in fall incidents was remarkable and crucially the set-up prevented our father from accessing steps or stairs. The staff were caring and sensitive yet somehow maintained a sense of humour. We felt looked after as well as our dad. There were too many individuals to single out for praise and too many incidents where staff went above and beyond to fit into this.
For 18 months, my mother was cared for in Peaker Park Care Village, suffering from advanced Alzheimers. At all times, she was looked after with care and dignity and despite limitations caused by the Covid outbreak, I feel as much as possible to make her final month as comfortable as possible.
My mother spent the last two years of her life at Peaker Park Care Village - this included lockdown when staff made sure she could stay in touch with an iPad. All of the staff were kind and caring, her personal care was good and she always had fresh, clean bed linen. The medical team were also very efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
A huge thank you to the staff at Peaker Park Care Village who looked after Mum for 3 months. Lovely room with kind and caring staff who understand how important each resident is. The staff worked diligently to make sure we could see Mum safely through Covid restrictions and if not then were always happy to take a phone to Mum so we could chat to her. The food was excellent and Mum's favourite was curry night. Peaker Park Care Village has a lovely feel to it and all the staff are super friendly and caring.
Thank you everyone for making Mum's time at Peaker very special.
Dad spent the last nine months of his life at Fiddlers Corner, sadly he was very frail and bedridden so wasn’t able to take part in any activities. During his stay, he was treated with the utmost care and dignity. He always looked so well cared for which was reassuring for us as it was difficult for us as a family to accept that he needed to go into care. All the staff were wonderful to him and us. We were kept well informed at all times. His nursing care was excellent we could not have asked for better.
Thank you all for making his last months comfortable. He is now at peace.
My mother went into Peaker Park Care Village for respite after becoming unwell, the aim was for us to find her different accommodation so she could live independently. From the day she moved in her well-being was a priority for the team at Peaker - Mulroy. She was not always the easiest resident as she was fiercely independent. Staff were patient with her and treated her with dignity and care.
Thank you to the team on Mulroy who made her feel safe and were understanding to her fears (and ours as a family), especially the staff who pushed her to maintain her mobility and dignity. Unfortunately, she was more unwell than we realised and she died in hospital - our wish was to get her back to Peaker Park Care Village - we couldn’t visit her in hospital and at the last minute when they let us in she was too ill to transfer back and some family were not able to get to see her. Luckily we had all seen her at Peaker Park before she went to the hospital.
Staff very caring. My mother was always comfortable and cherished appropriately. Peaker Park was welcoming and calm.
For the 12 weeks my uncle was in this home, as a family, we felt that the staff provided a high standard of care. Even though my uncle was very deaf, they tried hard to communicate with him. He was very comfortable in the last weeks of his life. The home were very flexible around seeing my uncle but were clearly following covid guidelines.
When sourcing a care home for a very special loved one, you ultimately rely on reviews. After no support from social services and very little information, we were left with relying on the NHS for recommendations. My Mother-in-Law was evicted from a Dementia specialist unit as they could not cope with her needs. This was a total shock to us as we thought the care home we chose was able to accommodate her, how wrong we were! After several phone calls asking us to come in as they couldn’t cope, we knew something was wrong. We came across Peaker Park and I can honestly say it was the best thing that ever happened. They are the most brilliant team and have a total understanding of a loved one’s needs. They take the time to get to know the real person and listen to the family. All the staff are amazing and have the resident’s needs at heart. The home is spotlessly clean, I cannot fault them. Even though we have now lost our beloved Mum, we know that her care was second to none!
Peaker Park looked after my husband brilliantly. He had underlying health problems and suffered from dementia. The care he received on the Bowden Unite was absolutely excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and I could always call anytime. Due to covid restrictions, we were unable to visit his room and were limited to visitor's room only.
The staff were caring and considerate toward my Dad, especially towards my Mum and our family in these very difficult times, which meant so much. We thank them all.
My sister was moved to Peaker Park from Hospital as she neared the end of her life, she actually was only there for four days but the kindness, care and compassion showed to her was exemplary as was the kindness to her relatives. She was kept clean and comfortable but treated with courtesy despite my sister having advanced Alzheimer's disease. I have no negative comments to make.
Our Mum spent the last 4 weeks of her life until she passed away last week, in Fiddlers Court, the end of life unit. We can’t thank the management, nursing team and carers enough for the kindness, care and compassion that they gave to her and to us during her time in their care. Everyone made time to answer our questions and help us navigate through her final days. Mum had wanted to die at home but this was absolutely the best place for her and us. The setting is lovely, calm, safe and homely. En-suite and a fridge in the room ensured we could spend comfortable private time with her and we appreciated the lounge and garden when we needed a breather. Would highly recommend for those with loved ones needing end of life care.
Like everyone, I feared my father going into care, there are so many horror stories. However, I needn't have worried, Peaker Park Care Village were absolutely outstanding. They immediately wanted to get to know Dad so that they could tailor his care. He was treated with care and compassion. They managed to provide a clean and secure environment, yet warm, friendly and homely. He was treated with the utmost dignity by everyone there. I owe each and every one of them such a debt of gratitude.
I cannot rate Peaker Park highly enough. Not only is it spotlessly clean with modern rooms and ensuite facilities but the environment is calm and caring. My father settled in very quickly and was very happy there. They offer a variety of stimulating activities from making gingerbread houses and bird feeders to bingo, puzzles and games. During the pandemic, I was constantly kept up to date with photos and news about my dad. When my dad celebrated his 100th birthday, the team arranged a party for his unit and ordered a beautiful cake and decorated the dining room with banners and balloons. The empathy and care the team gave my father in his final days were absolutely amazing and the stories they told me about him made me realise they truly knew him and cared about him.
Took good care and looked after my dad. Special thank you to his main carer.
We are very happy with the care, nothing is too much trouble and they are there most of the time and keep me informed every day. My husband is in Bowden Unit.
