Overall Experience

We were all worried when Mum went into respite care when we went on holiday. She had had numerous falls at home and lost her confidence. From the moment we stepped into the Laurels, we were welcomed. The staff are all amazing. Within a few hours, Mum knew she wanted to stay. She has a lot of friends,

has her 'glow' back and is being cared for by the lovely staff. Thank you!

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled your mum felt at home so quickly and that she's regained her confidence and made new friends. It's wonderful to hear she's happy and glowing again-our team will be delighted to know they made a difference!

Overall Experience

After over 2 years of in and out of hospitals and nursing homes, we thought we were losing my sister. Then she came to The Park Residential and Nursing Home - Sanctuary Care, and her whole life changed. The staff there helped her eat good food, learn activities. She was treated with dignity and felt

safe again. She made friends with many residents and staff and learned to live a better life. When I called to talk to her, they would take the phone to her and hold it to her ear so we could talk. I visited the home, and everyone was courteous and friendly.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at The Park Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly grateful to hear how much of a difference The Park has made for your sister. Knowing she felt safe, respected, and supported means everything to us. We're also glad your experience with our team was warm and welcoming.

Overall Experience

Mum went into a care home for respite, it was like a hotel, but soon found out the care wasn't there. She ended up in the hospital through neglect, and he health and spirits declined. We thought we had lost her a few times, but she was not able to come back to live with me because her needs were too

high. So I had to look for dementia nursing care. I visited lots and every time I ended up crying in the car park because none were suitable, I was becoming very disheartened until I visited The Laurels Nursing Home, I just knew straight away the manager and staff have such care and empathy. Mum moved in a week later, and like a miracle, she improved so much, but I now feel content knowing Mum is well cared for by the amazing staff. I now know I've chosen the best place for Mum, it's taken all the care and worrying from me. Thank you.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear how much your mum has improved since joining us at The Laurels. It means everything to know that you feel confident and at peace with the care she's receiving. Our team is truly dedicated to making every resident feel safe, valued, and well looked after.

We found the home to be clean and appeared well run.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and seemed happy.
The food looked nice and drinks were offered throughout the day.
Once dad was given the all clear to walk using his Zimmer the staff encouraged him to walk to the dining room for meals.

Overall Experience

I spent 6 days with my brother at Sherwood .. first of all the cleanliness of the home is to be commended .. the staff are truly amazing, so caring, for these patients.. their needs .. their feelings.. the activities that they do with the residents.. crafts, singing and dancing .. then the outings..

it was so fun to hang out there!!! I wanted to check out of my hotel and move in lol !!!! The ratio of staff to clients seems above average (compared to nursing homes I've been in when visiting clients ) .. the food too.. well prepared and tasty!!! Of course lots of tea..
Highly recommend this facility for your loved one

Overall Experience

Cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention that my mum received at the carehome. From the assessment she received to determine if they could meet her needs, her moving in, getting her settled, and ongoing care, every step was handled immaculately. As her condition deteriorated, the support

mum (and us as a family) received from the nursing staff and activities team was unbelievable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, we were always made welcome and a part of the "team". Sadly mum passed away recently and we received great support through that process... and 2 staff members joined us at mum's funeral.
Overall a very well run and caring nursing home ....all staff should be extremely proud of themselves.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Sherwood Forest Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you for sharing such heartfelt words. We're so sorry for your loss, but grateful that our team at Sherwood Forest could provide comfort and support during such a difficult time. Your kind words are a testament to our staff's dedication, and we will be sure to share them with the team, thank you.

My mum and dad have been in Sherwood Forester for 2 years now and the care and compassion they recieve from every single member of the staff is exemplary. They all go above and beyond and without them all my life would be so different. They all feel like family and make me and my family feel so welcome.

The activities they have are fantastic and the time they spend with them is wonderful. I can't recommend this home enough they all deserve medals for what they do.
Thank you for everything xx

I have found the Park staff to be very friendly and kind to my mum and to all our family when visiting. They showed us around and were very thorough and understanding of my mums needs. They have helped us and kept us informed of how my mum is settling in to her new home. They have allowed us to spend

a lot of time with her while she is transitioning into their care. The home has a good feel to it and it is clean and my mum has a lovely room with a door to the garden which is so lovely and we can make it her own.

The staff look after the residents very well. The food is good and varied. It is always warm and comfortable. The home is well-decorated on the inside but the outside could do with a little attention. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for a family member.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We're so pleased to read your comments about the caring staff, home-cooked food, and the overall comfort of the home. We're also grateful for your feedback on the exterior and are pleased to share that following some external works last year, we have more improvements planned for this year, to ensure that both the inside and outside continue to meet the highest standards.

Overall Experience

My mother is in very poor health and I was dreading Xmas. Most likely her last Xmas with us and also her first one in a care home. Honestly, the home couldn't have done more to ensure the festivities were filled with love, joy and fun. A member of staff dressed as Santa on the day and me and my sister

cried happy tears when he surprised my mum with a visit on the big day. This epitomised the exceptional care my mum receives at the Laurels. The Manager's door is always open and welcoming should I have worries about my mum. What I thought was going to be a sad place to visit has become my happy place, as I make treasured memories.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review for The Laurels. The home manager and her team will be so happy to read your wonderful comments and will be honoured to know they have helped to create such special memories for your family during what we know is a challenging time. Your kind words about our staff and the open-door policy reflect our commitment to providing exceptional care and support. We're so glad The Laurels has become a source of happiness for you, thank you.

Stepdad has only been at The Park a short time but he has been made to feel welcome. He has been well cared for and looked after. Everyone is very friendly and kind. There are lots of smaller sitting rooms that are lovely to use when the family visit. Bedrooms are comfortable and very well presented

with a warm cosy feel. One staff member in particular in admin has been great; so friendly, informative and helpful.

Overall Experience

Having used two non-Sanctuary care homes for respite care 10-14 days prior to his admittance to The Park, I realise the three Sanctuary homes in Chaddesden are all not up to the aforesaid standard. These were the only ones offered at the time. My husband's room reminds me of a ship's cabin, nothing

like the room we were shown when we did the viewing. I appreciate my husband is doubly incontinent so most days the bed hasn't been remade as it is left to dry out. I would also comment I don't think he is encouraged to clean his teeth or put his plate with 6 teeth on it in the cleaning tabs I provided.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at The Park Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear your concerns, which unfortunately you haven't raised with the home's management, who pride themselves on having very open communication with loved ones. We only have one care home in Chaddesden and while the manager was not aware of your concerns, she would very much like to reassure you that she welcomes all feedback and would like to reach out to you directly. In terms of your husband's bedroom, you are more than welcome to look at other bedroom options at The Park and the team will be very happy to show you these on your next visit. When bedding needs changing, we feel we are prompt to act but we welcome any feedback on how we can improve this. Please do take the opportunity to discuss these points with the manager, she is there to help with absolutely anything you need and welcomes honest feedback to continually enhance the care provided.
