Mum is really happy at Park House. She has made friends and gets on very well with all the staff.
They like her too.
She enjoys the singing and trips to events, especially the Remembrance Day service and summer fireworks.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you for your kind feedback. It has always been such a pleasure to have Mum as part of the Park House community and sharing these special occasions are so important to us all.

Amazing staff and outstanding care to all residents. Recently experienced a situation at the home and the manager and team dealt with it outstandingly well, the situation could've been so very different for the resident.

Due to my wife's serious dementia, she can be difficult to deal with sometimes but the staff at Park House are very good at calming her down and reassuring her.
At one time a few months ago there was talk of moving her to another home more appropriate for her condition, anyhow she was loved to a quieter
room upstairs and I am glad she remains at Park House.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It is a pleasure to support your wife in reducing her dementia care needs, so she can remain an important part of our community.

Putting my mum into a care home was something I thought I'd never do as she's been permanently living with us for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated and she has now been placed into this beautiful home. The Park House is truly lovely, the staff are so kind, warm, overall amazing,
can't do enough to make her feel more at home. She now has company as living at ours and with myself working I realise how lonely and long her days must have been. She's literally ten minutes away from us now so all my time I spend with her is quality rather than constant caring for her I feel we lost our mother-daughter relationship due to the stress of trying to balance working and caring for her. I truly believe it's a team of good people who truly care that makes this home so beautiful. Thank you all, not only have you made Mum's life so much better and warmer as our house was freezing and she's loving the heat you have made me realise there are good homes out there. Thank you all.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you so much for your beautifully kind and heartfelt words. The team will be overjoyed to hear what they do has made such a big impact on Mum and you. Mum has also made a big impact on the home and our Park House community and we look forward to spending lots of lovely times together.

Grandad has been at Park House for 2 years. I have always found the staff to treat him with dignity and kindness, even during some tricky times when grandad has experienced some challenging behaviour. They have shown understanding that grandad cannot be held accountable for his behaviour and appropriately
sought outside help. The food is very good. I like that they ask grandad in person what he would like. I am impressed at how clean and fresh grandad and his room look on every visit. Grandad is happy and well cared for so I am happy too.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. The teams will be so pleased to hear you feel this way. They take great pride in making sure your Grandad is as happy and as comfortable as possible each day.

I have felt very safe and welcomed into the group. All the staff are very kind and helpful. I enjoy the food, the entertainment and sitting outside when I can. The activities were good at times but there are less now that I can do due to my failing eyesight.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, and will always do anything to make you smile. Since our friend has been at this care home, he has become extremely happy and is definitely a changed person. If I could, I would definitely live in a care home like this when I reach that age.
You could not ask
for better staff members.

My husband was in for respite for 2 weeks.
His experience was lovely.
He's not the most accommodating person but settled in after a few days.
He has a very good appetite and was given extra portions.
On the whole, I was satisfied with his care and aftercare as we are welcome to pop in any time for
a cuppa.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you for your kind feedback on the home and team. It was a pleasure to support you over these 2 weeks and it was great to see you at the summer party too. Please do pop by for a cuppa, as it would be lovely to see you both again.

My dear friend has been in the care home for just over a week now, he is happy and content and he wants to stay permanently. The staff are marvellous, always there when needed and nothing is too much trouble for them. I have on occasion been here at meal times and am impressed by the meals given to
patients. The whole home is spotlessly clean, it's such a welcoming care home, and this home is one amazing place.

We have been to visit today and yesterday, I'm very impressed with the staff and the high standard of this care home. Well presented and very clean and tidy. Residents all seemed really happy and enjoying their lunch meals. My father-in-law was made to feel very welcome by all the staff even the chef
came to say hello. He had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. Both of our meals were to a very high standard. (My father-in-law has come in for a rest and hopefully staying).

As the son of a resident at this exceptional care home, I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding care my dad receives here. From the very beginning (23/05), we have been impressed by the friendly and attentive staff, who go above and beyond to ensure that every need is met.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and their dedication is truly remarkable. The care home itself is immaculate, with a level of cleanliness that rivals any quality hotel. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a place where residents can feel truly at home while enjoying the comforts and services of a top-quality establishment.
My dad's happiness and well-being have significantly improved since he moved here, and I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful care and support he receives. This care home has far exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where their loved ones will be treated with the utmost care and respect.

Reply from Amanda Bensly, Regional Manager at Park House

Thank you so much for your great feedback. The staff will be very pleased to hear their support and care have had such a positive impact. It has been an absolute pleasure to welcome and get to know your Dad along with you and all his friends, and we look forward to sharing lots of lovely times with you all in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Park House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.902 for Park House is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.902

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park House is based on 31 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 31 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.
