When I enquired at Codnor Park Care Home, if my mother could become a resident, I was greeted with the most open response from everyone I met.
Mum was very frail, but very aware of the kindness and consideration she received from all staff. Her particular desires were accommodated, with a positive
can-do attitude.
'Not a problem' to any request was always the answer.
When Mum became seriously ill, she returned from hospital to the nursing home next door.
The care she received was compassionate and of the highest standard, until the very end.
The staff not only looked after my mum, but the whole family too.
Thank you for this level of care.
I would certainly recommend both establishments, without hesitation.

Following a speculative visit, where a member of staff happily showed us around and let us see the available rooms, to a quickly arranged visit and assessment of Dad's needs and offer of a place at Codnor Park, staff have been open and engaged. This holds from the managers to care staff, cleaners, laundry,
and kitchen staff (not forgetting the decorators who moved a van to allow parking.) Dad managed the transfer and was able to settle quickly. On visits, he's content, appropriately dressed and clean. Assistance with mobilising is sensitively and consistently delivered. Medical input has been sought appropriately and health needs supported.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Codnor Park. We're delighted to hear that the staff, from the managers to all the different departments, have been open, engaged, and accommodating.

I have visited my friend on a couple of occasions since he moved into the home. He has found it quite difficult to settle in the home, but the staff have been very caring, and patient and got to know his character and his needs. On one occasion they accommodated his free spirit by taking him on one
to one walk around the grounds, to help him feel calm. He enjoys being outside, so staff are encouraging him to help plant up the raised beds in the garden. The staff are very kind to him.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It's heartwarming to hear that the staff at the care home have been caring and patient in getting to know your friend's character and needs.

My Grandma (recently blind but with full mental capacity) came to Codnor Park residential home whilst she recovered after breaking her hip in January. She returned to her own home (with carers popping in) and hated it. She requested to return here and sell her own home, as she feels so safe and cared
for by the wonderful staff. Now all the family can relax as we have the peace of mind she is cared for. Communication is fantastic and I am now moving my mother-in-law into their nursing home next door, as we have that much confidence in them (compared to previous experiences elsewhere).

I cannot recommend this home enough. Mum is spotlessly clean, well-fed, and best of all happy.
She's probably the happiest I have seen her since Dad died 18 years ago.
The home is cheerful and spotlessly clean also.
There are plenty of activities to join in with.
The staff goes above and beyond
to ensure all the resident's needs and expectations are more than met.
Well done, Codnor Park.

All good! Mother's Day bistro brought Ma out! She's quite unsociable and imagine she's hard work sometimes. Then we see her smiling and talking with everyone! Good to know she's safe here. The home is great putting on so many activities for the residents and we're sure she's happy (when we're not around!).

Reply from Phoebe Booth, Media and Community Relations Manager at Codnor Park Residential Home

That's wonderful to hear! It must be comforting to know that your mother is in a place where she feels safe and happy. It sounds like the bistro outing was a great opportunity for her to socialise and enjoy herself. It's nice to see her smiling and engaging with others. Thank you so much taking the time to leave us a review!

All in all, it has been a very positive experience for my grandad.
There are some brilliant staff at Codnor Park who go above and beyond, keep me informed of any issues and help Grandad with care needs.
Grandad is always happy to stay at Codnor Park and from our conversations he is having a good
time. Just one thing Grandad says “The fish and chips on a Friday could be better.”
Thank you to everyone at Condor Park for the support with my grandad.

Amazing staff, everybody who works at the home is just so helpful and caring. They make my grandma's day and look after her 24/7. The communal areas and bedrooms are spotlessly clean and well-appointed. There are a variety of activities and day trips and the food on offer is great quality. Thanks so
much for making my family happy, you are all a real credit to the work you do and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

My father was placed in another home on respite care, a care home which we were very unhappy with. Both the manager and staff were extremely helpful in assisting us to get Dad moved to Codnor Park. The help they provided was caring, clear and crucial to us as a family. While we could tell the facilities
at Codnor Park far exceeded our experience with the respite care home, it was following Dad's move we fully understood and appreciated the exceptional level of care provided. Dad was treated as an individual with care, dignity and understanding. The whole family were totally happy and looking forward to visiting Dad in surroundings which felt like home. Sadly Dad unexpectedly passed away after only a short stay. We can't thank the manager and all the staff enough and wish we had been given longer to get to know them better.

Reply from Phoebe Booth, Media and Community Relations Manager at Codnor Park Residential Home

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your father and offer our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
It warms our hearts to hear that our team at Codnor Park was able to assist you during such a challenging time. Providing exceptional care with compassion, dignity, and understanding is at the core of what we do, and we are grateful that your family felt this during your father's time with us.
We appreciate your kind words about our facilities and the level of care provided. Your feedback motivates us to continue our commitment to providing the highest standard of care to all our residents.

Codnor Park was home from home for Grandpa for the majority of 2023 until he passed away. They cared for him with respect, dignity and love. I was very nervous of Grandpa going into care having never experienced it with a relative before but the whole experience was made easy by the great team at Codnor
Park.
Grandpa was a real cheeky chappie but due to dementia his behaviour could be challenging at times but the staff took it all in their stride and were amazing with.
In his final days, the love and care they gave Grandpa I will forever be grateful for along with the support they gave me as I sat at his side.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.842) out of 10 for Codnor Park Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.842 for Codnor Park Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (462 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 545 Ratings = 4.842

  • 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 Codnor Park Residential Home is based on 46 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 46 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2021

I am Registered Manager of both Codnor Park Care Home and The Firs Nursing Home.


I love the feeling of going home knowing that something that I have been able to do has had a massive positive impact on the people living in our home.


The residents drive my passion. I have so much love for them, seeing them smile and enjoy living at the home and being able to support people who are on end of life care, knowing that you have provided exactly what they have needed in that time.


I often forget I’m at work because it feels like home. The people around are like family and I love them all dearly.
One day we will be old and I’d like to know that there is someone to fight for me the way I fight for them.
