I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to you all for the exceptional care, kindness and professionalism you showed towards my mother during the final year of her life.
Vascular dementia is cruel. It can be incredibly challenging, and looking after my mother required patience, compassion and
skill. You treated her with unwavering dignity and respect, ensuring that she felt safe, comfortable, and valued. Knowing that she was in such capable hands bought immense comfort to me during what was an emotional and difficult time.
The warmth and dedication of your team were evident in every interaction . From the smallest acts of kindness to the expert medical and emotional care you provided, I always felt reassured that she was in the best possible place. I am profoundly grateful for the love and support she received.
Your work makes an immeasurable difference, not just to the residents but to the families who entrust their loved ones to you.
You are good people, doing good work.

Parker Meadow expedited my mum's entry to the care home at our request which was amazing. From then on I continued to be thoroughly impressed by the staff, facilities and attention to detail - as did my mum. I could not have wished for a better place for my mum to spend her last days and I will be forever
grateful to the whole team at Parker Meadows.

I would like to thank all of the staff at Parker Meadows for taking such good care of my husband, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease with Lewy Body dementia and Alzheimer's. I never wanted him to be in a nursing home but I could not have found anywhere better. He was very happy there and well
looked after with patience and respect. At the same time, the staff were wonderful at supporting me. I can not thank them enough and I am very grateful for how much they helped us both at this very difficult time.

I am exceptionally pleased with the care my mother is having from the care home and the staff who have been extremely patient and very kind with her during her settling-in period. The home is very well-kept and clean in all areas and the coffee lounge in reception is very pleasant for residents and
their guests. The security on the entrance gates and the doors within the buildings is controlled very well, and I am confident of my mother's safety. The food seems to be of a high standard and certainly adapts to her requirements. I am also impressed with the activities that are carried out each day and the work that the team put into this to make it a happy experience.

My mother is being cared for in an excellent manner with great support from all the staff, carers, management, housekeeping, maintenance workers, and activities support. I have the confidence to leave her knowing that she is safe and secure and that I will be contacted as soon as necessary if a problem
arises. The whole atmosphere around the home is friendly, welcoming and empathetic and there is also a great deal of fun to be had as a resident and relative. I could not recommend this home more for its service and commitment to the care sector in this area.

My dad came to Parker Meadows in a woefully neglected state. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff here. They work tirelessly to optimise my father's medications and his various physical ailments are now much better. Dad is confused all the time but is greeted with smiles and an offer
of a cup of tea whenever he is distressed. As his eldest daughter, it means the world to me that my dad is well looked after and it has given the whole family such peace of mind!

My mum was only a resident on floor 2 at Parker Meadow for about 6 weeks before she passed away but the care and love that she received whilst on floor 2 was amazing and made such a difference to her last few weeks. All the staff on that floor are truly amazing people and genuinely care about the residents
and their families. We are so grateful to them for looking after Mum so well, from the cleaning team, care staff and nurses. We cannot thank all the caring staff and nurses enough for everything they did for Mum and us as a family. From the moment we met the admissions manager, everything was well planned and made the transition from hospital to home very easy and not stressful. We are truly grateful for all the care and love Mum received whilst at Parker Meadows.

For the last two years, Parker Meadows has provided excellent respite care to my mother. It provided me with the opportunity to rest and refresh and I always felt completely relaxed knowing that Mum was safe, well cared for and genuinely welcomed by each and every member of staff. The respite breaks
allowed her to build relationships and become familiar with the setting. When Mum suddenly required more nursing care, her admittance was managed so efficiently and with the utmost care and kindness from everyone. I genuinely did not look at another care home as Parker Meadows will I know take over from me for mum so well.

Reply from Joe Gould, Reviews Team at Parker Meadows

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. Over the last two years having your mum with us on her respite breaks has always been a joy in reality. When we heard of the sudden change and her nursing requirement, the opportunity to take more permanent care of Mum's changing needs was and is a privilege, so thank you for your trust based on her previous experience with us.

A big thank you to all the staff at Parker Meadows who have helped firstly my dad and then my mum to settle into their new home. The staff are very friendly and helpful with all my questions and worries both prior to my parents going into the home and now that they are both there. I am pleased that
even though my parents have dementia at varying stages the staff always treat them with respect and try to let them make their own decisions.nThe home is always very clean and the meals which I have seen and tasted are good. I feel that the staff are always very caring towards both residents and relatives.

Hi Caroline, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. Both your dad, and now mum are such a joy to be around, and we are pleased they have settled into their new environment. A big part of this success is to offer our residents choice wherever possible and treat everyone with dignity too. Thank you for recognising this, as over time, it really does work.

A big thank you to all the staff at Parker Meadows who were involved in delivering a special Valentine's Day meal to Mum and Dad who are both long-term residents. It came as a big surprise to them and the family. Mum and Dad really enjoyed the meal and the whole experience. Interacting with the residents
generally, and the organising of this meal in particular, is typical of the extra mile that all the staff (carers, activity coordinators, cleaners, caterers, maintainers, reception and administration staff) go in working as one big team to making the residents feel special and making living there really enjoyable for them. My wife and I have built up a good relationship with all the staff that allows for easy sharing of all the trials and tribulations that getting older involves ensuring Mum and Dad's life at Parker Meadows is fulfilled enjoyable and safe.

Our sister has recently moved to Parker Meadows, and her transition to the new surroundings was made very easy by all the wonderful, helpful members of staff.

My mother has been a resident of Parker Meadows for four years now. Previously, she had short stays in a couple of other care homes, and there is simply no comparison. The carers and nurses are thoroughly dedicated and endlessly patient with my mother's many anxieties, and team members in all departments
treat her with great kindness and understanding. We're so glad she made the move to this lovely home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Parker Meadows is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.820 for Parker Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.82

  • 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 Parker Meadows is based on 28 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 28 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.

Lukasz Mikolaj Irzabek

Job Title: General Manager

Before joining the team here, I was an acting commissioning manager. I have a level 5 NVQ in health and social care, as well as qualifications in leadership training. I have also completed the ROSPA level 3 train the trainer course in moving and handling.


Care UK’s values mirror my own, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to work here. It also has a reputation for providing high-quality, person-centred care. As an organisation, there is a strong focus on innovation and a genuine desire to ensure residents’ wellbeing. There is also excellent professional development for colleagues that want to pursue a career in care.


In my role, you need to have compassion and empathy. It is also important to have strong communication skills, patience and adaptability. As with any leadership role, you also need to be resilient and be committed to continuous development.


As a general manager, I am here to support colleagues and to ensure we give residents the very best personalised care, and that they are happy, comfortable and safe. Knowing we make a real difference to people’s lives makes me proud of what we do here. It is also fantastic to see colleagues excel and progress in their own careers.


I have been lucky enough to have many career highlights. Ones that stand out include being able to support homes achieve outstanding CQC ratings and commissioning luxury care homes. Achieving a 10/10 for a home on carehome.co.uk, was also another big highlight.


I have lots of interest outside of work, including science – particularly physics and biology. I like art, music and extreme sports which I balance out with meditation. My focus though is my family.
