Willow Park care home looks like a hotel when you enter the reception area. It is tastefully furnished and comfy for the residents. Everywhere you go is spotless. There are no funny smells whatsoever. All residents are treated with respect and their personal likes and dislikes and comfort are considered. The carers are all hardworking and caring of their charges. My mother passed away on 9th January at 102 years old. She received an exceptional level of care in her last months.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was a privilege to look after such a wonderful lady.
Willow Park is excellent. The staff are superb, professional and so caring for the residents. My mother lived there for over three years. and her needs were managed with great concern and dignity. The home is very well appointed and maintained to a high standard.

Willow Park were the most helpful whilst undertaking the search and have provided excellent care and support for Mum since she has been there.
She is thriving under their care and enjoying the social interaction with both Carers and residents.
I can only express my gratitude to all involved in her care and making this difficult time an enjoyable one for her.

As soon as you walk through the door you feel at home. It is spotless and is very welcoming. The staff are professional and they clearly all care about the residents and are happy in their work. Everyone is friendly, kind and always willing to help whatever the question.
Thank you to everyone at Willow Park, you made a really difficult time easier to deal with. I don't know what we would do without you. Thank you for treating my mother-in-law with dignity, respect and taking such good care of her.

Since being at Willow Park my father has started to take an interest in life again. He is no longer a lonely and depressed 95-year-old man but a happy extrovert in taking an active interest and participation in conversation and all activities provided. When I visit my father, he greets me with a smile, and is eager to tell me what he has been doing. I know when I return home he is happy, well fed and cared for. I can now sleep easy at night, knowing he is happy, safe and secure.
Quality care home. Run to an excellent standard.

The home is extremely welcoming and homely and there is a lovely atmosphere around the home. As soon as you walk through the doors you just know that everybody feels at home in the wonderful surroundings.
My Mum was resident in Willow Park April - May 2017, she was admitted from a hospital. Following surgery Mum became confused and her behaviour challenging, it was decided she required 24/7 care. We were fortunate to secure a place in Willow Park, Mum took a little while to settle, but not only did...
Everywhere is spotlessly clean, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, residents are happy and content and the staff are just amazing. My Mum received the very best care possible, cared for by a team of wonderful, very professional and extremely caring committed individuals, who work together like a well-oiled machine. They give their all and nothing is too much trouble.
We thank you all, from the bottom our hearts, for not only making Mum's last weeks as comfortable and pleasant as humanly possible but also for the support we received throughout. We are forever grateful.

My sister went into care at the age of 91 and died in this wonderful care home on Nov 16 aged 95 years. It was very difficult having tp put her into care and I thought no one would be able to look after her in the way that I had been doing. But I was proved wrong by the amazing staff at Willow Park. She was not only cared for but truly loved by all. We had happy and sad days but the support for not only my sister but myself as well was far beyond my expectations. She was treated with patience, dignity and a deep understanding of the need of people with dementia.
After a torturous year in a dreadful care home, finding Willow Park was a dream. The standards are obvious on first entering the home. Beautifully decorated and resourced, spotlessly clean, with period accessories to stimulate and elderly clientele. The staff are incredible. Caring, compassionate,...
After a torturous year in a dreadful care home, finding Willow Park was a dream. The standards are obvious on first entering the home. Beautifully decorated and resourced, spotlessly clean, with period accessories to stimulate and elderly clientele. The staff are incredible. Caring, compassionate, considerate, kind, and devoted. They completely GET dementia care. My Mum has blossomed in the months she has been in Willow Park. Thank you to all, my worries dissolved overnight. They even look after my visiting Dad.

I have worked at Willow Park since June 2021. I have worked in the care sector in various roles for 10 years. I love my job at Willow Park. The best part of my job is the interactions with the residents and relatives. As an administrator, I am there to support not only the financial side of the home but also the well-being and transition period throughout the stay of our residents.
Willow Park is for me a warm inviting home that is full of fun and laughter, great consideration goes to the resident's wishes. I am proud to be part of the team.
