First experience of staying in a care home went well from being greeted at the door by a staff member, who was amazing in assisting with the settling in and making my husband feel comfortable. The manager and all staff were excellent. Please tell them we hope to see them again in the future. Many thanks
to you all.

Both my parents are having respite care for one month whilst their bungalow gets much needed work on it. The carers are always polite, patient and helpful. My parents say the food is always lovely and tasty. I visit every day without an appointment and the place is always clean. It was the best home
we viewed. Mum has a tv in her room and dad has a sensor mat for when he gets up.

The staff are very friendly, always checking in and made me feel welcome from the start. My dad has told me that they take good care of him and he gets along with them and all evidence points to this being 100% true. I feel that they deserve so much more than what they get for the amazing job they do.
I am so glad my dad is there with them as I don't think he could have gone anywhere else that would produce an uplifting vibe as they do at Park Beck and to all the staff, I say thank you.

A marked improvement in activities. Interaction between staff and residents shows deep affection, warmth and person-centred attention. Staff and management are responsive to any comment or concerns raised. A care home full of warmth, commitment and love. I would be more than happy to recommend this
care home to friends and family.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Took my Mum for 1 week of respite to try and give my Dad of 85 years a break from caring for his wife, who have been married for 65 years.
Very upsetting to leave Mum there, and I felt like I had abandoned her, but to be honest, I couldn't find fault with Park Beck at all.
The staff that I met were
amazing, credit to the carer and the manager is a diamond, very helpful, caring, and went above and beyond to be helpful, accommodating, and to totally respect your wishes, to make your loved one feel comfortable.
A big thank you to all staff concerned in looking after my Mum on her week of respite at Park Beck, and I certainly wouldn't hesitate in taking Mum back for respite in the near future. A big thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My brother and I had a few awful experiences with care homes in the area. After looking for months for a decent home for Mum, ironically my brother found Park Beck right next to his work. Park Beck does exactly what it says on the tin. No pretending to be something they are not but doing exactly as
they say they will. Mum has had nothing but excellent care and kindness since she has been there. The manager obviously selects excellent staff. It’s so sad that Mum is in a home and so confused but knowing she is well cared for makes it so much easier. The place is warm and clean and the staff are lovely. Would recommend it to anyone. A wonderful care home run by people who care deeply for their residents.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The tender care given by the nursing staff to my Mother in her final days was massively appreciated by my brother and I as we live so far away.
Not only by photos which were taken of her and WhatsApp to my mobile but every suggestion to make her life easier.
Words fail me how brilliant the carers
were and even when I telephoned, I was always met with a cheery voice on the phone.
I never went into her room or experienced food and drink so I clicked below 'excellent' as the rest is, let's face it.
I would doubt if there is a better care home for dementia patients in the UK.

Reply from Steve Cooper, Home Manager at The Park Beck

I am deeply touched by the beautiful words used regarding my staff and my home. For you to take the time to write a review at your time of loss is very moving and unexpected. I will ensure to pass on your words to all the staff, and it was a pleasure for us to be able to be a small part of your mother's life. Thank you so much Monima.

My parents have been residents at Park Beck for a year, and although it has been impossible to have more than limited access to the home due to Covid restrictions, the interaction with the staff has been excellent. Both my parents have dementia and are treated with respect and care appropriate to their
needs.

As a family, we have always been, and continue to be, very pleased to have chosen Park Beck Care Home to look after my mother. She is very happy and extremely well cared for. We are very impressed with all the staff's commitment and caring. This is superb, especially in these times of pandemic. We are
always informed of changes and regularly speak with my mother. To be covid free is a testament to everyone's hard work, planning and dedication. Thank you.

The staff at Park Beck continue to provide excellent levels of care and support to my mother despite the exceedingly difficult operational circumstances as a result of Covid. They have provided excellent communication with me throughout this extended period when Covid restrictions have made it impossible
for me to see mum in person. I still feel very connected with mum and involved in all decisions related to her wellbeing.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.321)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.321) out of 10 for The Park Beck is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.521 for The Park Beck is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.521

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Park Beck is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
