I came to Parley Place for respite care after a stay in hospital. I felt vulnerable and anxious but the warm welcome on arrival put me at my ease, I have been overwhelmed by the care I have been given and the kindness shown to me by all members of the staff, I have been treated with dignity and
respect at all times. Thank you to Parley Place for making such a difference.

Having used the home for respite for almost since opening, mummy is once again in their care. They are extremely caring and compassionate, understanding and professional. It's a delight to know they are always there ready to welcome mummy back with open arms and it has become a home from home. The
team are a delight and make mummy feel valued and individual. They take the time to speak with her and always ensure she has everything she needs. The home is well managed and looked after, the communal space specifically the coffee room is a friendly place to stop for a drink. The food is varied and tasty. The bedroom is spacious and uplifting. Being mummy's main carer (as she lives with me) I am comfortable and happy for her to take time out there as I know she will be treated well and all her needs catered for. Thank you team!

A fabulous 4 weeks respite care. Gina and the team have been brilliant. A special mention to Adam who has provided amazing care for Mum. A super comfortable and friendly home and we could not recommend it highly enough

Parley Place has been absolutely wonderful in every sense, not only in the care and attention they give to Dad, but also in the kindness and support they've shown to our family during what has been a very difficult time. We suffered a terrible loss just before Dad moved in, and the compassion and
understanding we received from everyone at Parley Place meant the world to us.
The staff truly are exceptional - warm, patient, and genuinely caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and it's clear how much they value each resident as an individual. The attention to Dad's safety, particularly as someone at risk of falling, has been incredible. The team are always so attentive and proactive, ensuring he's safe, comfortable and confident in his daily routines, which gives us such peace of mind.
The home itself is beautiful, with light, spacious rooms and lovely communal areas that feel calm and inviting. The gardens are a joy to visit, and Dad especially loves the mini bus outings and food.

Since the passing of my grandmother all the staff at Parley Place Home gone the extra mile to make sure my grandad has been well looked after. The staff really care about every resident here and treat them with dignity and respect.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their
dedication and kindness. My family and I feel very reassured that Grandad is happy and safe here.

A beautiful care home with lovely staff who really care - nothing is too much trouble. The gardens, lounges and other communal areas are 5 star and perfect for residents and visitors to enjoy. The bedrooms are large, light and very comfortable. My Dad enjoys the entertainment, regular activities and
going out for trips in their Mini Bus. Parley Place Care Home is an excellent care home which I would recommend to anyone. The standard of care, patience and understanding is first class and I feel totally satisfied that my Dad is receiving the very best care available.

To leave your home and come into a care home takes a good deal of getting used to but the care and respect of the staff more than make up for that.

Staff and carers are always polite, friendly and meet my needs. Activities are fun and varied. My room is pleasant and comfortable and clean. Parley Place has the feeling of a hotel. Lots of room to move around and the garden is lovely to sit in and walk around.

My husband had a two week Respite care stay and was very happy and well cared for whilst there.
The home is bright, clean and very welcoming. It's feels like a welcome hug when you walk through the doors. All the staff were cheerful and ready to help with any request. He enjoyed the change of
scene, conversation and interaction with new people which gave him a lift on his outlook.
I spoke to him on various occasions on social media and he had so much to relate about his day and the outings he went on. In fact he is saying he will look forward to his next visit when I take a Carers break in September. His room was warm and comfortable with his own facilities and he enjoyed looking out the window at the wildlife, especially the Rooks. I enjoyed a lunch in the dining room the day he went there and spent a few hours with him to get settled in. It didn't take him long to feel at home. Thank you one and all for your care and attention during his stay.

Mum stayed 9 nights at Parley Place so I could have a break.
She gets very anxious due to her dementia,but the team always put her at ease and seem to go the extra mile to make her stay as enjoyable as possible.
I have no hesitation in putting mum in the great care of Parley Place and will be
doing so every 8 weeks or so.
Mum is fully aware that I need to have a break from her as I'm her sole carer and she insisted that she wouldn't want to go anywhere else but Parley Place.
Thanks to all the staff as from the minute I drop her off I can switch off and get some me time.

Mum stayed at Barchester Parley Place Care Home for two weeks respite and I can honestly say that we were all very impressed with everything it has to offer. The design of the home is lovely, the rooms are great, with everything thought about very carefully and all staff were amazing. Mum is 94 with
advanced dementia and has said many times how lovely everyone was to her. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Parley Place.

I was very happy whilst I was there and all the staff were very friendly. I had a very nice room with a big window, en-suite wet shower room, TV and comfortable armchair and footrest. The dining room was spacious with nicely set tables, white tablecloth and good table service. Teas, coffees, cakes,
fruit and biscuits always available for me and my visitors opposite reception overlooking the garden.
