My husband started in the care home as a respite resident in July 2024, and my family and I were quickly impressed with the care provided. His care needs accelerated and he has been a full-time resident since the end of August 2024. The staff have been kind and show the greatest respect to the residents.
We have on occasion had a meal or two and found the food to be very good.

After an exhaustive search for a suitable home to care for our mum, thankfully we found Deer Park. Not only does it have a warm and welcoming environment the staff are so helpful, approachable and kind. Our mum is treated with dignity and respect and the staff constantly acknowledge and engage in conversation
with her. We are totally relaxed in the knowledge that mum is being well looked after here and it is a pleasure to visit her and see a big smile on her face. Thank you to every member of staff at Deer Park.

We moved my mother to Deer Park and the care has been phenomenal. The staff are very pleasant and really care about the residents. Facilities are excellent and care is extended to relatives who spend a lot of time in the home as mother is receiving end-of-life care. Everyone is friendly and polite and
always greet you, the same is extended to residents. Dignity is always respected at Deer Park and everyone shows genuine care.

Mum was so well looked after during her time at Deer Park. She was treated with dignity and love. The staff were professional, caring, and committed to her and our family. I can not praise them enough. They were an extended part of our family and also showed ultimate respect and compassion. The end
of Mum’s life was peaceful, pain-free, and all that we hoped it would be.
Her room was peaceful and calm and she felt safe and relaxed.
We are sorry she was only there at the end of her life but for us all, it was a very beautiful experience.

December has been nice and Christmassy at Deer Park. The events, including the quiz and the market evening, were excellent! It was very helpful to share a review with a staff member to discuss my sister's progress, we felt we were listened to as a family and we can move forward in her care/treatment
plan. We are very pleased that she is taken to events like cookery or card making to keep her involved and occupied. Staff are all lovely and I've learned all their names.

Reply from Anna Satora, Home Manager at Deer Park Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and that you enjoyed joining in with our events. We always ensure that family members are involved in the support and care we provide to our residents, and that you feel included in the care planning for your sister. She does certainly enjoy getting involved with many of the activities!

We transferred my Mum from Scotland to Deer Park Ledbury. Mum was welcomed warmly by the staff and has calmly settled into her lovely room and very quickly settled in. Mum hasn't looked back, the staff have encouraged her to join in activities. Nothing has been too much trouble, always a smile and kind
work to both me and my mum. I feel so relaxed now that Mum is being well cared for, having fun and looks so much better, a transformation! Thank you to all the staff.

Reply from Anna Satora, Home Manager at Deer Park Care Home

The compassion and care my mother has received from all the staff at Deer Park has truly been exceptional. The care she receives is of the highest standard and the empathy she is shown is heartwarming. The facilities on offer at Deer Park are extraordinary, from the cinema and private dining to the
resident's garden and patio area. I know many care homes can look very impressive from the outside but Deer Park has what is most important too, that's the staff with the knowledge and skills to make Mum's life better with the dignity she deserves.

We needed to find a nursing home at crisis point for our mother who suddenly deteriorated in her health. The responsiveness, kindness and proactive approach of the staff at Deer Park Care Home our head over shoulders above the rest. Since moving in, our father has joined Mum so they are together in
lovely surroundings with kind and gentle care. The team are extremely attentive, thoughtful and kind. I could not praise it more highly.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.995) out of 10 for Deer Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.995 for Deer Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.995

  • 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 Deer Park Care Home is based on 17 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 17 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.

Kevin Peck

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Kevin Peck, and I am the Home Manager here at Deer Park.


I am an ex-soldier who served in the Royal Artillery, and I have received my Level 4 Registered Managers award and Level 5 Leadership and Management QCF.


With over 25 years of experience working in the care sector and an additional 20 working as a qualified nurse, I have managed seven separate care homes including a 95-bed dementia village. All my hard work has contributed to my extensive experience in all aspects of care management.


Being married to my wonderful wife who also works in the care industry allows me to have a good understanding of the challenges of working in care. I also have three children, two sons both in their late 20s and a younger daughter who is six years old - she likes to keep me on my toes!


Outside of work, I enjoy playing football with my five-a-side team, and I am a qualified referee at the county level. I referee both ladies and men’s football in the Gloucestershire area.

Vivienne Hill

Job Title: Client Services Manager

Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Vivienne Hill, and I am the Client Services Manager here at Deer Park Care Home.


As Client Services Manager, I provide support, guidance and compassion to families and their loved ones during what can be a challenging time. I find my role incredibly rewarding and humbling, and I am blessed to work with an incredible team, who provide empathetic and dedicated care to our residents.


I enjoy the opportunity this role has given me to apply the skills, knowledge and experience I have gained within hospitality, event management, sales and marketing throughout a career spanning over 30 years. The role of Client Services Manager is truly diverse, with no two days being the same, and, above all, it enables me to make a difference in people’s lives every day. I am very much hands-on, driven, passionate and considered to be a real people person with a finely-tuned sense of humour.


Having volunteered throughout the pandemic, during which time I helped the elderly and vulnerable, working within the care sector seemed the obvious next step. I am passionate about supporting different charities, especially those in our local area, and members of our local community. It is especially fulfilling to be able to arrange community events as part of my role, and I am particularly proud of Deer Park PALS, our monthly Parkinson’s Support Group.


Here at Deer Park, our entire team works hard to ensure that our residents and their families and friends are provided with the highest possible quality of support and care whilst making sure every visitor receives a warm welcome. Whether you need urgent support or are planning for the future, please don’t hesitate to book a visit so you can experience for yourself the care we provide.

I have worked at Deer Park for 16 months, and I find my role very rewarding as I know our team makes a positive difference in the lives of our residents every day. This is my first role in a care home, and I have been thoroughly enjoying it so far. Before joining the Deer Park team I worked mostly in hospitality, and I have NVQs in Hospitality and Customer Care.


Outside of work, I like to spend time with my husband, our daughter and our pomchi, Tally. I am also a Brownie leader and sometimes help out in my friend's pottery painting studio.
