Overall Experience

The home is always fresh and clean. The carers are always very welcoming, helpful and professional. When I visit, there always seems to be an activity on whether it be listening to music, or a quiz, which is enjoyed by all. Although I obviously haven't tasted breakfast, lunch or dinner myself, what

I have seen, looks reasonably appetising, but I haven't asked. I would like to see what medication my Mum is on, so I will ask next time I visit. My mother seems to be very happy at Queen Elizabeth Park.

Overall Experience

My mum has dementia. She came to Queen Elizabeth Park, at Christmas last year, following a month in hospital. She was very confused and unhappy to have lost her independence. It has taken a while, but my mum is now settled and happy. The staff have been very patient with Mum and with me, as it has been

emotional at times. There are little things which mean a lot, making sure Mum looks neat and tidy when we take her out, by this I mean, her carers make sure she is in a nice matching outfit. She has a coat, so doesn't get cold and thick socks. This is more than just doing their job. This is caring and this I really appreciate.

Overall Experience

Mum has settled in really well. The staff are brilliant and the activities programme is really good. They go on trips out as well now which is fantastic. Mum joins in with everything and is so much less lonely than she was in her own home. She has her hair done every week which is great. I don't have

to worry about her anymore as I know she is being so well cared for, I can just enjoy going to visit her or taking her out somewhere.

Cannot fault the Home for the quality of care given to its residents. Personally, I would like to see relatives given the opportunity to be more involved. This may be an unfair comment as Covid restrictions have been applied throughout the year.

Overall Experience

Mum has gradually become settled and now takes part in many of the activities. The staff are caring, she loves the food, I think perhaps she is again going to have to increase the size of her clothes! Although she never wanted to leave her own home she can now see so many different people every day

and she is able to have a bath regularly, which she couldn't do in her own home. She is very happy the only regret she has is that she is unable to see her school age great-grandchildren, which is not the fault of Queen Elizabeth Park Private Care Home.

Overall Experience

As a family, we could not have asked for better care for my Dad than in Queen Elizabeth Park. It was such a relief to know he was safe, comfortable and never alone. Every person was so kind and treated us with care, respect and patience - so important to us at that upsetting time. They were quick to

respond to our requests and answer our questions. Dad had Alzheimer's and other medical conditions but always seemed calm and contented. He was watched over closely and as his condition deteriorated he was looked in on every 15 minutes. The team prepared us for his passing explaining what we needed to arrange, so when the day came, they took care of everything and all we needed to do was come and say goodbye. I am personally so grateful for this; it made an emotional time so much 'easier'. Even a few months after Dad's passing, when I spoke to one of the managers, she demonstrated a genuine interest in how we were all managing. It was not just my father that got excellent care. Thank you Queen Elizabeth Park.

Overall Experience

I have just spent two weeks in Queen Elizabeth Park Guildford resting after a knee replacement. The room was clean and comfortable, when I arrived there was a cream tea waiting for me. The nursing carers were attentive, knowledgeable and thoughtful. I really enjoyed the delicious homemade food. I would

highly recommend Queen Elizabeth Park for respite care.

A most caring home. All staff work so very hard to keep the residents safe but also provide wonderful care and a variety of activities for them to do and stimulate their minds. Also, interact with relatives so well. Giving information as soon as it’s needed.

I have nothing bad to say about Queen Elizabeth Park, the staff have been amazing looking after my cousin. They are always welcoming and friendly to us when we visit and provide fabulous activities for all the residents to keep them busy. Through this last difficult year for them, they have been nothing

but accommodating and enabling visits as and when they can. Thank you, Queen Elizabeth Park.

Overall Experience

Mum feels loved and safe living there. I always get a warm welcome when I visit her from all of the staff. It was lovely visiting my second home whenever and as long as I wanted before COVID struck. In keeping all the residents safe relatives have had restricted visits advised by Government guidelines

but I know mum is being kept safe and well looked after and enjoys the company of all the staff who are caring and compassionate. It has been a great comfort to me that she is safe and well there throughout this terrible year of lockdown.

Overall Experience

The care provided is of a very high standard. A few minor personal issues such as hair brushing and clothing could be better in my view. The staff are brilliantly friendly and personable with the residents which I’m sure has been of paramount importance during the covid pandemic when visitors were not

allowed. When my mother was in hospital for three weeks some of the carers went to visit her to make sure she was doing ok which was very touching.

Difficult to give a full review as my mother has only been in the home a week. Because of COVID, the family didn’t get to see or tour the home beforehand. However, through the contact I’ve had so far with the staff they have come across as being very friendly, kind and caring. I talk to mum daily and

she seems settled and content which is a huge relief for myself and my family.

Overall Experience

Both my parents moved into Queen Elizabeth Park together in April 2019. It took a little while for my mum to settle, but she was very well looked after and supported until she sadly passed away last year. My father is still a resident, and the support and care he was given after losing his wife, after

over 60-years together, was amazing. Staff take time to talk to him about Mum, as they knew her, and I know it brings him comfort to know that she is not forgotten. Dad is on a restricted diet, but staff take time to help him to eat and present his meals in a pleasant manner. I’m very pleased we chose Queen Elizabeth Park and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Overall Experience

I have worked or visited many nursing homes during my working life, so I am very fussy. Queen Elizabeth Park exceeds all my expectations. When I first had contact, I visited frequently and was always impressed with the cleanliness, the lack of smell, the availability of cups of tea. The staff always

have time for me, and they are friendly. Lockdown has been hard for everyone. But from what I have been able to observe, the same high standards are being maintained. I have been able to telephone the staff as necessary, and they have phoned me with any problems. The effort made to maintain activities during lockdown has been impressive. My friend was restricted to his room for quarantine at one point, and despite constantly wandering out, the staff seemed to have gently led him back without complaint. I am completely happy with Queen Elizabeth Park and warmly recommend this place.

Overall Experience

My wife has been living at Queen Elizabeth Park for just over 6 months now. At first, I found the transition very hard, living with someone for over 40 years to then have them move away. The staff made this so much easier for me and knowing the care and love they gave both my wife and I helped greatly.

Since the move, I feel that I have gained a family. The home feels like my home and nothing is too much for anyone, from the care staff to the catering team, activities or manager.

Overall Experience

My mother was discharged from hospital to this care home on end-of-life care. She survived only two more days. My experience of the care home is limited to that brief period. Since it is necessary to rate the establishment in various respects, I have opted for the middle grade - satisfactory - in most

cases because my limited experience of the home means I cannot be more precise in my judgement. However, because of a particular incident that occurred during my mother's brief stay, I would not recommend the home.

Overall Experience

My Mother was admitted with vascular dementia to the Queen Elizabeth Park in June 2018. She died peacefully in July 2019. During her stay, she was treated with kindness, respect, love and professionalism at all times by all the staff. I cannot praise them highly enough. Although Mum was incapacitated,

the staff made sure she was involved in as many activities as possible. The food was always delicious and the facilities spotless. There was no hint of 'old people' smells at any time. The home really did feel like a home! The Manager was always courteous and professional and her attitude filtered down to the rest of the staff.
I would highly recommend this lovely place.
