Hi Rowena, many thanks for your kind comments. We were so impressed by the hugely generous response to our cupcake day, an annual event that our residents and staff really enjoy preparing for. We are blessed to have such supportive families and a wonderful local community - both were incredible sources of strength during the pandemic. We are keeping our fingers crossed for better times ahead!

Hi Pat, what a kind review! It's so nice to hear that you think that your mother is well looked after in a clean, safe and happy environment. She's certainly a big personality and has become a great favourite with our staff since she arrived all those years ago. We're pleased to say that she's also gone from strength to strength. There have been difficult times recently, thanks to the pandemic, but we are hoping (like everyone else!) that the worst is now behind us.

Dear Peter, many thanks for your very kind words. It was both a privilege and a pleasure to look after her during the time that she was with us. Now that she has moved on, her presence is much missed by all the staff and the other residents. We would like to offer our very best wishes to her, yourself and the rest of the family. We very much appreciate that you have always been so supportive of the home.

Dear A E, thank you so much for your kind review. We are grateful for your generous words and pleased that you feel satisfied with our care and support. It has been a real pleasure to meet you and your family and to care for your mother. We feel strongly that you and your sister are very much part of our Parkfield family, just as your mother is. We are also so pleased that you like our food. Before lockdown you would often visit over the lunchtime period and have lunch with us, so you know first-hand what our menu is like! We do work hard to ensure that our meals are nutritious, enjoyable and suitable for all requirements. We look forward to seeing you at the home again soon.

Hi Mike, many thanks for your positive review. We are delighted that you feel that your aunt is in good hands and being well looked after. During a difficult and worrying time for relatives we have worked hard to ensure that they are able to keep in touch with and see – if only virtually – their loved ones via Skype and Facetime. Your aunt has certainly learned a new skill and we’ve seen how much she enjoys using it! We have recently resumed visits to the home – at this stage by appointment only – and I know that she will be looking forward to seeing you soon.

Mum came to Parkfield on 05/11/2018. Since then she has been well
I know that mum is in the best place she could possibly be and I know the rest of the family feel the same. The manager and her team run a tight but friendly ship and long may it continue!

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Parkfield House Nursing 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.784 for Parkfield House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 125 Ratings = 4.784
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 Parkfield House Nursing Home is based on 11 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
