The staff at Park Farm Lodge Care Home take care of my mother, they treat her with dignity and respect. I am happy for her to be there. You are always welcomed with a smile and they always call you by your first name. The receptionists will do anything they can when help is needed, all staff and management
are there if needed.

I was very upset when my husband had to go into care and leave home. The home he is in now have helped me and my husband to settle. The staff are so helpful and the management also helped me come to terms with my life as it is now. The home is spotlessly clean and the laundry girls are wonderful as
are the care staff and nurses. If I can only praise all the staff at the home. Nothing is ever perfect but I'm happy with my husband's care.

All of the staff show great care in looking after my father. He is very settled and interacts really well with his carers. The home is always clean and well run. It is pleasing to see lots of activities for the residents. The staff are also kind to family members and show compassion in a stressful time

My wife has been a resident of this care home for 9 years, suffering from dementia and the effects of a stroke. I cannot praise the home too highly for the outstanding care she had received during this time, which has contributed to her overall comfort and security, in a very supportive environment.
All aspects of the home are to be commended.

Wonderful organisation. Very welcoming by every member of staff I came into contact with. My mum was looked after very well from the time she went to Park Farm Lodge until the time she sadly died, weeks later. The staff showed great respect and compassion, for which I will always be truly grateful.
They
are able to answer any questions promptly. I have no doubt at all about recommending Park Farm Lodge.

My loved one is taken great care of by the staff of this friendly care home. Park Farm Lodge always make us feel welcome whenever we visit. It's a relief to know that visiting hours are so relaxed and the staff are able to accommodate the visits of shift workers. I would have no hesitation in recommending
Park Farm Lodge.

My brother who is totally deaf, moved into Park Farm Lodge Care Home four years ago. Previously he had lived independently but with twenty-four-hour care provided, unfortunately, during this time he was constantly being admitted to hospital. Since being cared for at Park Farm his hospital admissions
have been reduced to zero.
I and my brother are both happy and more than satisfied with his care at Park Farm and it has also taken the pressure of responsibility off me for which I am truly grateful.

There are not enough words to say how we feel about all the staff at Park Farm Lodge. From our first visit to our last everyone was amazing. The care, compassion, love and understanding was second to none, along with good humour when needed. My mom could not have been looked after better, you really
put the 'c' into care. Thank you for looking after Mom and us.

Mum was here for about 8 months and we have nothing but praise for the care shown to Mum throughout her stay. They not only cared for her physical needs but they cared about her too and a welcome change to the experience in hospital! The home is relaxed and for the most part residents are allowed to
wonder around as they please and there always seem to be activities organised for those that want to participate. It's not a place you'd ever be lonely for sure. The elderly can often be challenging to care for, but we can only thank and praise the staff for making Mum's stay there as pleasant as it could be and it was of great comfort to us that she was safe and cared for.

I cannot speak highly enough about the care my mom received while at Park Farm Lodge. From the handymen, nurses, carers, the entertainment staff and also management, everyone took time to say hello and have a few words with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing Mom was so very looked after. We consider
ourselves so very lucky that Mom was placed in your care.

My mum was very happy here and I had no concerns regarding her care and treatment.
The staff are delightful and caring and treated my mum with care and respect.
They went out of their way to offer food to interest her even if it wasn’t on the daily menu.
The activities team brightened her days and
she looked forward to the experiences they offered.
As a family member, I was both kept informed and listened to.

My aunt was brought to Park Farm for respite.
Within 3 weeks max, the family observed that her hair and bed bath was not done until afternoon. Not acceptable as my aunt is totally bed ridden, cannot care hygienically for herself, she would have been left in soiled incontinence pants for 15 hours or
more. A breeding ground for urinary infections.
She could not feed or drink herself, needed full assistance. Meal times they fed her then left her with a drink that she could not reach or handle herself.
I spoke to the nurse in charge numerous times but felt what I said fell on deaf ears.
Disgustingly my aunt became severely ill with sepsis. In the family's opinion we don't think the staff were fully trained or aware of the urgency or symptoms of sepsis. My sister begged them to get the doctor. It took 3 days before the paramedics were called, they were shocked they had not been called out at least 48 hours prior!
We do not advise anyone to go there! My aunt will never recover fully again.

My Aunt was brought here for respite with a view to becoming permanent. During the 4 weeks she was there I had to constantly remind staff she needed full assistance with eating and drinking. Most days I got there she hadn't been washed or changed etc, even in the afternoon. My aunt is bedridden and
can't do any of these things herself. She became very ill and I begged them to get a doctor but they said her obs were fine. The next day she was admitted to the hospital with severe sepsis which they missed all the signs of. To this day, two months after she's still in hospital. The family felt very let down and shocked.

I have supervised my relative's care for many years while she insisted on staying in her own home, so I know how difficult it can be to keep her clean and safe.
The staff have shown a great deal of patience and forbearance with her since she has been at Park Farm Lodge and also great kindness towards
her. My relative appreciates this and had often told me how they "all do their best", something she has not previously noticed. Also, comment on the "good" meals.

Dad moved into Park Farm after a very unsettled period of approximately 2 months of hospital visits/stays.


After an initial period of time, he looked relaxed and so happy.


I cannot thank all the staff enough as both my mind/my brother's mind are now at ease as Dad has settled and is 'at home'.

I was a little worried putting my nan in a care home and all the ones in my area have bad reviews. But from the first viewing until this day, I can not fault the place.
All of the carers have been amazing. So friendly and helpful. Always welcoming and smiling no matter what time we have turned up.
Receptionists
and managers also very helpful. Just haven't got a bad word to say. Brilliant. Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.053)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.053) out of 10 for Park Farm Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.339 for Park Farm Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 174 Ratings = 4.339

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park Farm Lodge Care Home is based on 13 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.714

  • 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.
