My grandmother stayed with Parkmanor Oaks care home and she was treated so well! They are a complete credit to themselves for how much they care for their residents as if they are their own family. They spent so much time always making sure my grandmother was involved in activities, and made sure her
day was always full of laughter and joy. They are such a homely place to have a loved one stay with. I'm so grateful to each and every staff member for taking such great care of my grandmother.

Where do we start!
Parkmanor Oaks was definitely the best choice for our family, when it came to the care of our Grandmother.
We had heard amazing things from the families of residents, and having met the staff and management, we knew we had made the best decision and she would be in the right hands!
From
the first day Granny was in their care, the staff were so attentive and welcoming. You could tell they take real pleasure in helping their residents. From facilities to security, everything was just what she needed.
We had heard rumours about interactive fun days and parties for residents and their families to enjoy together and once we seen this in person, we agreed we wanted to live there ourselves!
If ever we needed any update or had questions about granny's care, there was no hesitation to keep us in the loop.
Our granny always had a smile on her face. And, without a doubt Parkmanor kept it there.
We can never thank the staff and management enough.

My experience of Parkmanor Oaks has been very good and has excelled my expectations. My mother has been a resident for 1 year and I can highly recommend Parkmanor Care Home.
The staff at every level are compassionate, helpful and friendly.
The Nursing Staff are very attentive and cognisant of my mother's
needs and react accordingly.
As a family we are kept abreast of any issues with Mum's health and the staff make every effort to ensure my mum is clean, comfortable and safe at all times.
Any issues raised by me are dealt with immediately and professionally.
The entertainment is amazing and appropriate for the residents.
Parkmanor Oaks is very family orientated and we are included in all events. The staff have become like a family to me and my family over the past year.

Moving our mum to Park Manor Oaks was an incredibly hard decision, but it's been the best one we could have made. She wasn't coping well on her own and the family was scattered far and wide. The team's compassion, patience, and care for my mum have been reassuring. They take account of different personalities
and individual's likes and dislikes gently encouraging her to engage when she's withdrawn and involving her in the life of the home. They understand the power of music, entertainment and activities to boost the morale of the residents and families can take part too.
During Covid, the home worked tirelessly to ensure we could still visit and stay connected. Whether through safe visits or other ways of communicating, they kept us close to Mum, which meant so much. Any inevitable medical incidents are managed with care, good communication and attention.
Mum is getting older, but the dignity and respect she's shown here make all the difference. We feel lucky to have her here.

Nothing is too much trouble. From admission, my father-in-law has been so happy, he always looks well and clean the choice of food is fantastic and you only have to ask to ensure they get the correct care and attention. Staff are amazing and so kind, even when my mother lived here she was cared for
in the best way possible. Always able to ensure health care professionals are in attendance. I cannot say anything out of turn for each and every staff member in Parkmanor. My father-in-law has put on weight and totally involved in all activities and he is still able to have a beer when he wants it. The biggest well done on such an amazing care home.

My parents both resided here when their ill health meant we could no longer look after them at home. An extremely difficult decision, but all staff from the hairdresser, domestic, carers & nurses welcomed them into the home with true compassion. My mother had a poor appetite & we witnessed staff offering
her so many different choices of food & fluids not on their menus for that day.
Entertainment/stimulus for residents & families was excellent & we used the private bar with numerous activities they provided to help them remember special occasions like Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, Saint Paddy's Day, 12th July (ensuring inclusion for everyone).
Their sing-alongs & reminiscence sessions were excellent.
Staff were very complimentary of management & the owners which was evident when they held cultural days to showcase the ethnic backgrounds of their staff.
We as a family will never forget the excellent care my parents received there.

My sister and I cannot thank every single member of staff in Parkmanor Oaks who looked after my mother. She was treated and cared for so well. Our mother passed away a few days ago. We stayed with her for the last few nights of her life and the care and attention she got was second to none. They were
also extremely kind to us making sure we were comfortable and fed during such a difficult time. A big thank you to you all.

My dad passed on and I can honestly say that the dignity with which my dad was treated was outstanding.
I would like to thank the home manager for

All the staff were brilliant but special thanks goes to four carers in particular, who were just fantastic.

Thank you so much to each and every one of the staff who are currently looking after my Nannie. In this time of social distancing, I’ve been so worried about my Nannie, and it’s so hard not to be in touch or see her. My Uncle just received a video message of my Nannie enjoying a sing-along with the
staff - this has made my week! Thank you so much for all your hard work, care and attention.

My mother's health deteriorated over the last few months and, eventually, I had to make the difficult decision to find a care home that fitted my Mum's needs. Following some research, Parkmanor Nursing home received outstanding reviews and comments and we were so lucky that they had a room. Mum is only
in the care home for a few weeks, but the level of care she has received has been incredible. The facilities are excellent, the classes to stimulate the residents are well thought out and clever and the standard of food is excellent. However, what makes Parkmanor special is very simple. It is each and every one of the team that work there. From the head of services, nurses, care workers, canteen staff and cleaners, each and every one of them are special, caring people and have contributed to Mum settling in so quickly. We are blessed that Mum is content and receiving the care she needs, and for that reason, I cannot thank the team enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Parkmanor Oaks is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.903 for Parkmanor Oaks is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 4.864 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Parkmanor Oaks is based on 14 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.864

  • 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.
