Its a pleasure to give a review for Gorton Parks Care Home. Mum has been at the home since February 2024. We are so very grateful to all the staff for the wonderful care, compassion and dignity they give to Mum. Inspite of her dementia she has flourished at the home, we can see she is happy, settled
and has made friendships with other residents and the carers. As a Health Professional myself I would highly reccommend Gorton Parks Care Home, they have supported us all as a family and we would not want Mum to be anywhere else. A huge ' Thank-You' to each and everyone one of you, you are all amazing!

Reply from Julie Manson, Administrator at Gorton Parks Care Home

We are pleased with my mum's care. The carers are friendly and always show care and concern towards our mum on times when we've visited. I've had to mention a few things when concerned e.g occasions when she's been thirsty, cold (needed a blanket, or didn't have socks on). Also, the crash mat had been
taken from against the wall next to her bed to stop her hitting her head on the wall. Fortunately, I was visiting to see this.

Thank you for your review and your kind words about our care staff, which we very much appreciate. Your review has been passed on to the senior management team at the Home and they would be delighted to speak to you in more detail about your mum's care and any concerns you might have.

Gorton Parks has not only cared for my ailing dad but every carer we have encountered has cared for me and my family as well. This isn't just a professional establishment, it is personal as the staff care personally for the residents in their care.
The respect and attention they show is second to
none and as a family member, I feel safe knowing my dad resides here.
Thank you everyone.

All the staff (day) are great with my mum. She does not really like food. She is always made comfortable in bed as she stays in bed watching her programs. All the care and staff are great and my mum seems happy.

My dad was a resident from August until December. Although the home itself is a little tired in places, the care received was exemplary. Dad always looked clean and cared for. He was checked on regularly and when he got ill, the staff ensured he got the care he needed by ringing for an ambulance in
a timely manner. We were able to decorate his room with photos and other personal items and he could even have his own reclining chair. Unfortunately, he did not recover from his last illness. The staff were so compassionate when family members visited to collect his belongings. I would highly recommend it.

Reply from Paul Lawson, National Sales Manager at Gorton Parks Care Home

Thank you so much for your review and kind words. We extend our continued condolences for the recent loss of your dear dad and on behalf of the whole team we send our very best wishes to you and the family.

She is always smiling.
The staff deserve an award for the amazing job they do or reward and recognition.
My mother has been in Gorton Park since February.

Gorton Parks is an amazing place. I've had a few teething problems but quickly realised that it's because they are understaffed! If you are willing to help out with your relative or in any other way, it's a massive help to the staff. They are all so busy being angels to our family members. I for one
am extremely grateful to all of the staff. Thank you very much.

My mum has been a resident on Mellands Unit, Gorton Parks since February 2022. The experience has been very poor. She has been left in wet, soggy and bulky nappies for hours each day. Sometimes she is sore and I have to treat her. My mum is washed with a dry wipe and running water because the shower
near her room has been broken since July 2022. I cooked my mum Caribbean food and asked the staff to give it to her, the staff either ate it or threw it away and they gave me the empty cartons. No stimulating activities. I find my mum in bed most days because the staff do not engage with her. I have been shouted at and humiliated by three members of staff. I have found medication on the floor. I am not informed by phone when my mum is upset and wandering around the home.

Reply from Nitya Kanoria, Digital Marketing Manager at Gorton Parks Care Home

My wife had a fall and was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a fractured hip, from there she was fortunate enough to be sent to Gorton Parks Care Home and she went into Delamere for physio and general care.
The room was clean and very bright, everyone who works there were friendly chatty
and very helpful, the care was excellent and because she was in a non medical section she was allowed visits from her sisters wee dog Millie who we have been looking after since her sister had a fall in July, it brightened her up and the staff seemed to like her.
If you get the offer to go there don’t think twice it is excellent.
Oh! And she said the food is great, and I always got a great cup of tea.

Hello Ken and thank you very much for your review. We are delighted that you and the family are so pleased with the care and support your wife receives at Gorton Parks and we will pass on your kind comments to the team.

My mum was a resident from February 2019 until she died there in October 2021. As her dementia progressed she was moved to their specialist dementia unit. I was allowed to make her room feel like home to her. They put up extra shelves to fit all her soft toys on and I was allowed to bring garden ornaments
for outside her window and even allowed to dangle artificial birds for her to see from the eaves of the care home.
The staff who took care of my mum were absolutely incredible. They were patient and understanding to the extreme. The care home manager always made herself available for me when I needed to see her.
There was an activity coordinator, though my mum stopped participating the more the dementia increased. I was allowed to visit her in her room (outside of Covid-19 lockdowns - for which I was allowed some window visits) and play music to her.
Mum's food was lovely.
We were allowed to stay night and day when Mum was dying and held her hand as she took her last breath.

I would just like to say thanks so much, from the bottom of my heart, to all the staff who cared for my dad during his 6 weeks stay in the Delamere Unit. From the receptionists, physiotherapy team, nursing and care teams. We loved visiting and seeing him so happy. It’s the little things that count,
one day popping in to find him playing cards with one of the care team, brought us so much happiness. Wonderful home.

The home has done its best during the covid pandemic, but now that things are easing they need to go back to taking more care of the peripherals, taking good care of the residents belongings. They need good key worker etiquette, making sure things are in good order and kept clean. Services need to be
stepped up; opticians, new dentures as teeth have gone missing. We only go once a week but I feel not enough positive activity going on, need staff and supplies to do so. That being said, the staff who are there are lovely and try their best.

My brother has been in Gorton Parks Care Home for just over 5 years during which time his dementia has worsened and he does not engage in activities available now.
I am concerned that the furniture in his room is now quite poor. I have seen other rooms with much newer furniture and I would like his
to come up to higher standards.
The staff are all great and keep me up to date regularly.
The home is lucky to have them!

My sister was admitted to Abbey Hey House last December on my request as had previous experience of the care when a friend had been in Delamere for respite. My sister recently passed so only had eight months there but the care she received was outstanding. Cannot praise staff enough. They have a very
difficult job where my sister was in the dementia unit and nursing have kept everyone safe through this pandemic. Don't think they had one case of covid. Residents are treated with dignity and respect and so are the family. You felt part of a family as though you had known the staff for years. Would never hesitate to want to use there again if need rose in future.

Reply from Julia Bentley, COO at Gorton Parks Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. I am extremely proud of how staff have worked throughout the pandemic and ensured our residents are safe and receiving the best care possible. Please accept my condolences on the passing of your sister and I am grateful you can take comfort from the fact she was safe and well cared for during her time with us.

My mum has been a resident of the Delamere Unit now for two weeks and the transformation in her health and wellbeing has been outstandingly positive. All the staff are extremely approachable, caring and friendly, nothing appears to be too much trouble. Their response to feedback has been well received
and very prompt. My mum was in a very distressed state when she arrived, she is now very happy and content. She spends the first part of any visit telling me how wonderful the staff are. Her room is spotlessly clean and she enjoys the meals there. I cannot praise the staff enough for their exceptional care.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.640)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.640) out of 10 for Gorton Parks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.182 for Gorton Parks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.182

  • 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 4.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gorton Parks Care 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.458

  • 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.
