I was looking for a home to care for my wife, who had a horrible
cocktail of Brain diseases plus Parkinson's disease. My daughter and I
discovered Higher Park Lodge by chance whilst walking in Devonport Park.
We knocked on the door and enquired about the home and the possibility
of us looking around to assess if it was suitable for my wife. Apart
from getting married, knocking on that door was possibly the best
decision I made in my life. We were immediately made to feel very
welcome, shown around and invited to meet the managing staff. A room was
available, which we gratefully accepted. The staff helped me prepare the
room, making the bed with my wife's own colourful bedding and hanging
pictures, which she had painted when she was well. Staff came in to
introduce themselves and made my wife, and I feel very welcome. We
could see that she was happy and settled down immediately. She had
dietary problems, and the chef discussed the menu daily with her,
producing alternatives.
