This is a very nice and clean care home. All the staff seem to know and care after my mum. The room is clean but sometimes they forget to clean the bathroom properly. The food is nice but could be improved. Where I do get upset is the high costs that go with the care.

Reply from Bernadette Cromwell, Head of Marketing at Park House Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments on the room and meals - we'll definitely take them into consideration for improvements. We understand your concerns about the costs and truly value your honesty. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to discuss anything further.

My mum was well looked after and the staff were all amazing. I highly recommend this care home. I staked this care home out for the first 2 weeks at the beginning going all different times due to the bad stories you hear, but I couldn't find fault with anything.
The main thing was the place was clean
and the staff were amazing from start to finish.

My mum recently became a resident, she came from another residential home. I have noticed my mum is cleaner, with bedding changed regularly. She seems calmer in herself. The food always looks and smells delicious. There are always staff present to speak with.

Park House has a wonderful and dedicated team of people who work in harmony to provide the very best care for residents and visitors. I cannot find the words to express my gratitude for the kindness and gentle support you have all given me this year. You all greet me and my daughter with a warm, welcoming,
reassuring smile. I know at times you are all under pressure, especially over the present Christmas and New Year period but the residents and visitors would never realise.

My partner went into Park House Care Home end of September and was there until he passed away peacefully on the 10th of December at 4.30 pm. I can only say we had excellent service from the manager the managerial staff, the nurses and cares. My partners time was pleasant relaxing and he was truly cared
for until the end. During his stay we were able to have a Birthday Party for him organised by the coordinator of entertainment for the patients and residents. The environment is non other than perfect. The cleanliness is exceptional. Everyone was friendly and obliging from the minute we stepped through the door until we left quietly and peacefully with my partner and the funeral director. Thank You Park House for looking after my partner and best friend.

Thank you for the compassionate, professional care that my aunt received during her stay at Park House. Communication was always excellent, and staff always had time to talk and make the family welcome when visiting. I have no doubt that Auntie was well cared for. She was always relaxed and peaceful.
Her end-of-life care was also met with dignity and great communication, which allowed her family to be with her. A wonderful place and staff.

Grandma has been in residence for just over a month. From first visit, I have received a warm welcome from all staff. All asking how I am and if I needed anything. The staff are so friendly and caring towards grandma. Nothing is too much trouble. We are so pleased that Grandma is at Park House. The
room Grandma is in is always clean and tidy. The food is all home cooked and it smells and looks delicious.

We has a really enjoyable afternoon. The sun was shining and there were two singers that had everybody involved. It would not be easy to organise all of the wheelchairs, but it was managed and everybody had a good time. Special thanks to one staff member who worked really hard with a big smile. It seemed
to go off smoothly.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.558)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.558) out of 10 for Park House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.558 for Park House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.558

  • 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 Park House Care Home is based on 12 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
