Great team of people, very caring and attentive. I feel very lucky that this place is only a stone’s throw away from where I live, as not only is it very convenient for visiting my mother, but the quality of care, accommodation, food and people are very high. There’s always someone on hand to speak
with if there are any concerns, which are actioned as soon as possible.
Codnor Park provides regular entertainment and outdoor trips for residents, which provides wonderful distractions.
Whenever I visit, there’s always a smile with a greeting from all.
Codnor Park is a great option, and would highly recommend viewing or even a trial stay.

My dad came to Codnor Park Residential Home in January.
I have found the home very welcoming and staff have always had time to talk and listen to any worries or concerns.
It is a huge change for us as a family and having the reassurance that my dad is as happy as he can be and well looked after is
comforting.

Our mother has been a resident at the home for the past four months. Initially, we had a few concerns, but these were promptly addressed with the arrival of a new staff team shortly after our mother’s admission.
My sister and I make it a point to visit our mother most days, and during these visits,
we interact with other residents. We feel as though we are part of the Codnor Park Residential Home family. The home provides a broad array of activities for the residents, ensuring there’s something to suit everyone’s interests.
We actively engage in the home’s resident and relative meetings, advocating not just for our mother, but for all residents. We value the fact that the senior staff take our suggestions into account and implement them.
I would strongly encourage other relatives of residents to actively participate in these meetings when they are held. It has proven to be beneficial for the home’s ongoing improvement program. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

My mother spent 14 months at Codnor Park until she died. Throughout her stay, all the staff were kind, considerate and patient in dealing with her. The home was professionally run and that culture was demonstrated by everyone involved. From a relative’s perspective, they were always open, helpful and
supportive. In her final days, the staff showed great compassion and love which came from the heart demonstrating that it was more than just a job. They’d become really close to her and I know she appreciated that. As a relative of someone approaching the end, I was really grateful for the supportive way they helped me and my family. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble! I have no hesitation in recommending Codnor Park to anyone.

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

It's wonderful that the staff demonstrated professionalism and a culture of care, which was evident in their open and supportive approach to you as a relative. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to know that in her final days, the staff's great compassion and love provided comfort and reassurance to both your mother and your family. It's heartwarming to hear that they formed a close bond with her, showing that their dedication goes beyond just the job.


Your gratitude for the supportive assistance provided by the staff during such a difficult time is greatly appreciated. Thank you for recommending Codnor Park to others based on your positive experience.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

A bit disappointed with the caring and handling.
Carers pointing fingers at you when talking and using the human rights act without knowing very well what intel (sound as if it's an excuse not to do the job). The resident in question was scared of saying or complaining because it could reflect on the
caring. Was promised a shower every other day, and ended up having one a week, when so. Staff was asked to clean and check some bits in the bedroom of the resident and the answer to that (it was not that important). Even when staff were friendly, communication with the family and answers to information was nearly non-existing, including the next of kin. They were very understanding and caring just at the time the resident was passing away, and the whole family do appreciate that very much. It was the only part of the process that was done smoothly, sadly enough.

My dad moved into Codnor Park in October 21. It was the hardest, most upsetting decision to admit I could no longer care for him myself. But it was also the best decision. Codnor Park is a wonderful, friendly home from home, and the staff treat Dad like one of their own loved ones. They always make
me feel so welcome and keep me well informed as to Dad's health/progress. I would recommend this care home to everyone.

My wonderful dad had been a resident of Codnor Park Residential Home. Sadly he passed away this week. The care and love shown to him was nothing less than outstanding. Each and every single member of staff should be extremely proud of themselves. We spent a lot of time there during his last few days
and felt the love for Dad from every member of your wonderful team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the day we were dreading so much more bearable. You’re angels, each and every one of you.

My father moved in earlier this year with my mother, who sadly died shortly afterwards. The care and support shown by the staff throughout has been nothing short of exemplary. I live quite some distance away and it is a great help knowing how well my father is being looked after, especially given the

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.
