What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Stanley Park care home.

The team look after her and if she needs anything they provide it for her, the carers do definitely look after her.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

They look after her needs, everything she needs they do. They go out of their way to help if she needs anything.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

It is a lovely, spacious environment which always looked so clean and tidy every day our family visited. The staff are all so incredible and do an amazing job under, at times, very trying circumstances and always have a smile for residents and visitors alike. My mum was so well cared for and loved by the staff.

The Greener family, relatives of a resident, February 2020

I selected Stanley Park as it was by far the best mainly due to the attention, love and overall care. Mum looked better than I have seen her in over 3 years. Not only was she happy, well settled but her appearance was immaculate. I witnessed my mother dancing and engaging with everyone. Christine and her excellent team are doing an incredible job.

Relative of resident, December 2019

The teams level of attention to all the residents, managing their care and accommodating the varied personalities is just beyond the call of duty and expectation. The care home is always immaculate and full of laughter.
