The professionalism, care, support and compassion that the nurses, doctors and staff gave was exceptional. I cannot thank them enough for making mums last few days comfortable, safe and dignified.
I'm sure a different selection of music would be a benefit.
Lovely place, very friendly and helpful staff.
Nice place and friendly staff.
From the moment we had dealings with the staff of the home to the final minutes of my father's care and needs, the home was fantastically supportive. A helpful, sensitive and caring approach to the whole family. They couldn't do enough to help. They were excellent in nursing him through his final hours of life I would have struggled to cope without their help.
I was transferred to Peaker Park from hospital for extra physiotherapy so that I could use stairs following a fracture on September 22nd. I was very privileged to be in the NHS Reablement Unit in Fiddlers Court for four weeks. The personal care, encouragement, food, therapy and relaxed atmosphere enabled me to recover well. I particularly appreciated the service of the Team Leaders of the Horne Court staff and the weekly visit from the nurse from the local surgery. I wish I had had it all explained to me though, at the beginning of my stay, and better prepared for it. The explanatory leaflet arrived as I was leaving Peaker Park!
My mother has been dumped by this nursing home with an alleged stroke.. which frankly is in question. My family are most unhappy and have been put through much distress by what we suspect is their excuse to get rid of her. They have refused to readmit my mother from a hospital infirmary for recovery. Whilst my mother was here we were pleased with the facilities and level of care until this happened two days ago. I am making an official complaint to the authorities.
My father-in-law is currently staying here after a fall and breaking his hip. He was unable to go home and thankfully they had a room here. All the staff are so helpful and friendly, I have only witnessed an excellent level of care. They encourage the residents to socialise and although no doubt a stressful job, they all seem very upbeat and positive. Thank you.
I lost my Grandad and best friend this morning. For the past 3 weeks, my Grandad had been a resident at this home. From the second he arrived, the carers and workers had his best interests in mind. As a family, we have had a very difficult week and the home actually let me and my family stay over to ensure we had all the time in the world for my Grandad. They had a room set up for us and each day we had breakfast, lunch and dinner given to us. Every hour we'd have a lovely man come round for some comforting words and tea.
Every other hour the carers would come in for some kind words and hugs to ensure me and the family were fine. As a family, we genuinely could not have asked for a better place for my Grandad to see his last days. He was comfortable and relaxed.
No other place on the planet could have given us the care and love they did this week.Losing someone so close to you is never easy, but these people went above and beyond to make it the easiest it could be.
Thank you.
My dad spent his final few weeks at this amazing place. The care love and compassion shown to him and his family was outstanding. We couldn't have been anywhere better. Every single person who was involved in his care was amazing. We could never thank you all enough.
Knowing a loved one is at the end of their life is very difficult but the staff here made it so much easier for us. We want everyone to know what a great place this is. We had a terrible experience in another care home and was really scared when he was sent here but we are so happy that he ended up here.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to every single one of you, we will never forget what you did for us all.
Please accept our most sincere thank you to all the staff in the Fiddlers building with a particular thank you to the physio and occupational therapy persons who were exceptional.
Lovely staff, good privacy, very clean, lovely environment, nice gardens, will miss the staff as only staying on respite, nice meals, nice physiotherapists, overall a very professional care home would definitely recommend to people.
I stayed at Peaker Park Care Village for 11 days while my daughter was on holiday as I am waiting for my flat to be ready in a retirement complex. The staff were very welcoming, attentive and kind and I felt safe. I mixed with the other residents the best I could. I felt I would have liked to get the opportunity to go outside more, especially as the weather was so nice. I would have enjoyed more activities too - maybe a quiz or more social gatherings as everyone seemed to stay in their room. The early supper time of 4:30 pm did not suit me, however, there was plenty of choice for the meals.
Overall we were very happy with the service. We would certainly return without hesitation. I was happy because Dad was happy.
I have always feared the thought of Dad going into a care home, however, this experience was a burden lifted.
Exemplary in every way. It is doubtful if the service my mother had could be improved upon. An exceptional model of best practice in this caring professional.
My mother loved being there so much, she told everyone that would listen, that she didn't want to go back home. She just wanted to spend the rest of her days there.
While there, she was diagnosed with an rare, aggressive and incurable form of bladder cancer. The palliative care she received there was second to none. I feel very qualified to write this review, and share my opinion, as while my Mum was resident in Peaker Park Care Village, I visited her at least every other day. A truly fantastic care home that I would recommend to anyone and everyone, and if I manage to get that far in life, I would want to end my days there.
Many dishes depend on certain accompaniments to make them enjoyable and one expects them to be present, but turkey without even bread sauce is bland and tasteless.
A few pieces of dry hard prunes, hard, tasteless white 'sticks' of something (unripe melon?) is not a fruit salad. We had no fresh fruit that week.
I was horrified that there was no wholemeal bread, we never eat anything else. Sadly tea and coffee were never more than warm on delivery.
I always think that meals should be something to look forward to and eaten with pleasure. Something important for old people for whom pleasures are often few and far between.
He is unaware of his surroundings but for family and friends we are so pleased he is at Peaker Park.
He is being very well cared for in an environment which caters for his needs which can be severe.
The staff are unfailingly kind and considerate and he is always treated with respect.
Everyone did their best to anticipate and meet her needs and take genuine care of her.
On many occasions, staff 'went the extra mile' in caring for mum, trying to calm her agitation and make her comfortable, whether at the home, on hospital visits, or at the end of her life.
My father and I were always made to feel welcome and management and carers alike would take the time to talk over any concerns.
I would particularly like to thank the dementia team for their professionalism and patience often in the face of considerable hostility from mum.
Last but by no means least, Peaker Park is as pleasant a home as any I have visited - and moreover does not smell like a care home, which is no mean feat.
