From the first time we visited to look at the home until the time mum passed away we were always given a friendly warm welcome. For mum the move was a big step &she asked for a month to try the home before she committed to the move. After a week she began writing change of address letters a tribute to the kindness and care she was shown.
There were times when I was either unable to attend appointments or needed another pair of hands to get mum in &out of her wheelchair & on these occasions members of staff helped me with this.
Throughout mums stay I was kept fully informed about changes to mums health or medications. Many of the staff who were at Parker Meadows when mum moved in were still there when she passed away. This gave a feeling that they really knew &cared for mum. Thank you to all the staff for the care you gave my mum. I would strongly recommend Parker Meadows.

This was the first time my dad went in for respite so as a family we were all a bit apprehensive and unsure but we had nothing to worry about. Everyone was so welcoming and genuinely kind.
From the first telephone enquiry to the day we took dad home everything and everyone was faultless. This home really is impressive and the reviews I read to help me make my decision were so true and honest. My mum has now had a much needed rest and she is ready to look after dad again.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make my dad feel at home and the amazing way in which he was looked after.

My dad has received excellent care at Parker Meadows. He is 87 years old and has Alzheimer's disease. I have always dreaded the day my dad would need to go in to care, however, I am so glad he is now. Parker Meadows is safe and secure and designed as a care home for the elderly. My dad's room is large with a large ensuite where he can be showered sitting down. The home is always warm and there is always a staff member nearby to ask questions or talk to. My dad has settled in really well there. I can not praise the staff enough for their care of my dad, he is always clean and dressed everyday. There is afternoon activities everyday for the residents and the food is very very good. My dad thinks he is staying in a hotel, that's how good it is. The carers and nurses there are a regular team who I have got to know. Even the managers will stop and talk if they see you, I can not recommend Parker Meadows enough. I have been kept updated regularly with regards to my dad's health.

8 weeks ago we chose to move our father to Parker Meadows due to a rapid deterioration in his health during 2025 and the need for 24/7 support. His and our experience has been entirely positive, as the staff helped him through a difficult emotional adjustment to losing his independence. The patient and dignified support means he is now happy, settled and has given his family & friends the opportunity to enjoy time with him, rather than trying to be carers. If I was in a home, I hope it would be Parker Meadows!!

We looked at a number of Care Homes for my wife who needs palliative care and nothing came close to Parker Meadows for standard of accommodation. I liken it to a room at a luxury hotel compared with many other Care Homes. It is often stated that it's the level of care that is important, but the level of accommodation is important to the resident, and their loved ones in lasting memories. The common vision of a large common room where most residents sit around during the day is not the case at Parker Meadows. Larger numbers of residents often gather downstairs in the entrance lounge for scheduled activities. Dining areas are also smaller and numerous but that does not detract from personal in room service to support needs of less well residents. Care and medical needs are also very well provided for by a team of nurses , carers, housekeeping, cleaners and other support staff. Well managed, professional care, in a modern custom built home where 'Care' is evident everywhere. A must to view.
Hi J, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are pleased that not only is your loved one benefitting from what we offer, but you and your family are able to visit us and leave each day/ evening having had a "positive" experience too which ultimately will become positive memories.

Our mother was able to celebrate her birthday in very pleasant surroundings on Thursday, 1st January. The thoughtful gestures of providing prosecco and cake were truly appreciated and contributed greatly to making the occasion feel special. We are also grateful for the efforts of the staff at the home, who went out of their way to ensure our mother had a nice time. The dedication and attention of the staff made a meaningful difference, and we are very thankful for their kindness.

I couldn't have wished for my husband (and myself) to be better cared for during his 8 month stay in nursing care at Parker Meadows. We were both welcomed into the Family and enabled to enjoy his last months to make special memories together. During his last few days he was made comfortable and treated with such kindness. I was especially touched over the last couple of days when the care staff going off shift popped in to spend a little time with him. This is care from people who really do get to know the individuals they look after and become like family.

My sister chose Parker Meadows above others that she had seen in Portsmouth and Fareham. she was impressed with the beautiful surroundings, the welcoming café with its coffee machine and home-made cakes, the activities organised every day and her beautiful bedroom with en-suite . She thought the staff were amazing, kind and helpful. As my sister deteriorated with her vascular dementia. the staff were professional, patient and kind with her. The staff informed me with every aspect of my sister's care and if ever there was a problem. My sister could not have been happier. I thank them all so much for all they did for my sister.

My mother passed away recently after a short illness having been a resident at Parker Meadows for the past 3 years. During this time she received excellent care. She was well cared for, entertained and led a happy and comfortable life. All the staff at the home from administration to carers, kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance etc treated mum well and with dignity. It was always a joy to visit her. She was always telling me how happy she was living there. As her daughter I couldn't have asked for more.

Vascular dementia is cruel. It can be incredibly challenging, and looking after my mother required patience, compassion and skill. You treated her with unwavering dignity and respect, ensuring that she felt safe, comfortable, and valued. Knowing that she was in such capable hands bought immense comfort to me during what was an emotional and difficult time.
The warmth and dedication of your team were evident in every interaction . From the smallest acts of kindness to the expert medical and emotional care you provided, I always felt reassured that she was in the best possible place. I am profoundly grateful for the love and support she received.
Your work makes an immeasurable difference, not just to the residents but to the families who entrust their loved ones to you.
You are good people, doing good work.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience, it is truly valued. We can't express how much we enjoyed the opportunity of getting to know your mother, and having known her, we miss her, but will always remember her.

Before joining the team here, I was an acting commissioning manager. I have a level 5 NVQ in health and social care, as well as qualifications in leadership training. I have also completed the ROSPA Level 3 train-the-trainer course in moving and handling.
Care UK’s values mirror my own, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to work here. It also has a reputation for providing high-quality, person-centred care. As an organisation, there is a strong focus on innovation and a genuine desire to ensure residents’ wellbeing. There is also excellent professional development for colleagues who want to pursue a career in care.
In my role, you need to have compassion and empathy. It is also important to have strong communication skills, patience and adaptability. As with any leadership role, you also need to be resilient and be committed to continuous development.
As a home manager, I am here to support colleagues and to ensure we give residents the very best personalised care, and that they are happy, comfortable and safe. Knowing we make a real difference to people’s lives makes me proud of what we do here. It is also fantastic to see colleagues excel and progress in their own careers.
I have been lucky enough to have many career highlights. Ones that stand out include being able to support homes achieve outstanding CQC ratings and commissioning luxury care homes. Achieving a 10/10 for a home on carehome.co.uk was also another big highlight.
I have lots of interests outside of work, including science, particularly physics and biology. I like art, music and extreme sports, which I balance out with meditation. My focus though, is my family.
