Reviews for North Park Care Home

"This care home may be adequate if your needs are minimal and you are relatively independent. In the event you require extra care such as being bed bound, need bed rails, pressure area care, regular comfort checks, appropriate analgesia and a working television, then please choose elsewhere. Staff are friendly but the care was inadequate and unsafe at times. Food was probably the best aspect of the stay, well done to the cooks."

"A massive thank you to the manager for her support, and to the staff for looking after my dad over the last three years. In particular for the care and kindness shown to us as a family in his final days."

"My mum has been a resident since April 2022 until her death recently; prior to that she had had several periods of respite care at the home. I always felt that she was safe and well looked after. All the staff were very kind to her, in particular the OT/activities staff who made every effort to encourage her to join group activities when she was well enough. The home is maintained well, always tidy and never has any odours. The staff are extremely welcoming to visitors and they organise regular fundraising events that involve friends and family. In short - I am very happy and grateful that my mum was able to stay at North Park Care Home."

"Mum spent the last few weeks of her life being looked after and cared for at Barchester North Park Care Home. She went in initially for two weeks respite but after the first week, she decided to stay permanently. She was well looked after by all the staff and especially enjoyed the food, gaining 10lbs in the short time she was a resident."

"The first time we looked around the home, we knew straight away that it was the place where we wanted Dad to be cared for. The home always has a happy, welcoming feel and the staff are super friendly and caring. I have been to many of the social get-togethers and the way that the staff look after their residents gives me comfort to know that Dad is cared for by these special people. Would not want him anywhere else!"

"North Park just gets better and better. My mother celebrated her 90th birthday this week at North Park. The effort made by the staff was fantastic. A band played in the afternoon, and banners and balloons were provided, followed by a delicious birthday cake. Our family was made very welcome, and the kind, thoughtful and selfless efforts of the event manager were unmatchable. Thank you. Overall, in the last few months, I have witnessed a great improvement in the general atmosphere, cleanliness, management and happiness of the residents and families. Well done, North Park."

"Barchester North Park went above and beyond today so that I was able to celebrate my graduation with my grandad. They put on a little surprise tea party for us to enjoy while we chatted and got family photos. They even bought a cake for us to celebrate with! They are all so friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating not just today but on previous occasions as well. I’m so happy my grandad is in such a lovely setting with smiley staff that are always willing to help when needed not just with the residents but their families too."

"My dad first arrived at North Park Care Home at very short notice, under very stressful circumstances, having just been evicted from respite care at another care home. We hadn't visited the home before his arrival due to the urgent situation. We were immediately put at ease on our first visit - speaking to staff at all levels we heard how well he settled (surprising us all). The staff took great interest from the start to understand the rare type of dementia my dad has, and how his complex needs may differ from other residents on Memory Lane. We continue to be impressed with the daily enrichment for the residents. For a long time while still at home, my dad had no interest in doing anything, but since moving to North Park he has made smoothies, cards, arranged flowers and had a visit from a petting zoo (greatly enjoyed by many residents!). The place is spotless, housekeeping staff work continuously. We really value the work of all the care staff in providing truly person-centred care."

"When our dad came into the home we were all apprehensive as a family. We were soon to be reassured as the care for not only our dad but our mum too (when visiting) was second to none. The staff here are amazing and so caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble! They always had different events on to which our parents would enjoy. The food, in my mam's words, was delicious and nutritious. We would 100% recommend you to anyone. Thanks a million."

"My mum was originally placed in North Park Care Home for respite care but became a full-time resident shortly after. The staff are wonderful and truly care for residents and families. My mum was very happy there and encouraged to join in the many activities, she loved the therapy dog too. She made friends with other residents and when she took ill, appropriate action was taken. In the end, the staff went the extra mile to make sure she and I were comfortable and could not have done more."

"From the first phone call, I have been welcomed into the Barchester North Park Care Home family and experienced nothing but professional, friendly and caring staff. I made a point of not mentioning I am a nurse when looking around homes for my dad and I asked if I could see areas not usually shown on a tour, like laundry, just to see if they would! Dad loves all the carers and despite his poor memory due to living with dementia, he has already remembered some names in the month he has been here because they are the staff he loves the most. I am included in every aspect of Dad's care, they understand he is my world (especially since we lost Mum six weeks ago) and I am invited to all the events and parties planned. Having worked in nursing homes I can not stress how wonderful everyone is here."

"My dad was in a lovely room with a view overlooking the park so he could watch people walking their dogs, which I'd asked for as he doesn't really have any hobbies. The staff were excellent treating my dad with dignity and respect, friendly and approachable. They were also very patient with my dad helping him every day to use his mobile phone as he kept forgetting. This meant a lot to both myself and my dad as I could speak to him on a regular basis."

"I didn't like it when I first came! It was like a regimental prison, it took a long time to get used to being here. I have made lots of friends now and I like to help those who are less able than me. I have started to tend to one of the gardens which I enjoy doing and it's nice being able to go up and down stairs to meet other residents. They have activities on and we can pick and choose what we want to do."

"My mother was very happy in North Park Care Home. She was extremely well looked after and had a genuine affection for all the staff, as they did to her, referring to them as her friends. She was always clean and tidy, very well fed, and her room was spotless. We were very lucky that Mam had the last two years of her life here."

"I rarely give excellent, only due to the fact we can all go down the unrewarding path giving less than good results in the situation. There are good staff here, who have the excellent attitude that where they have not managed a situation well, they will think again as to the best path each time. The attitude is apparent, and it is indeed excellent for those good people."

"The staff at North Park are lovely. They made me feel welcome and at home while I was visiting my elderly grandmother on my visit from Canada. The home seems well run and feels safe during the current pandemic. The staff went above and beyond. The matron took much time to explain her health situation to me. A special mention to the tall caretaker man who at my grandma's request provides any little thing she needs as he passes by. Lovely people who care deeply about their residents. Thanks for having me!"

"My wife is a “newcomer” to the happy family up on the third floor known as Memory Lane. What an eye-opener this has been, she is taking part in games and events, regularly appears on Facebook and is generally happy with life. The staff have been wonderful, putting up with my daily check-ins and helping me adjust to life without the wife. Looking forward to taking her out in the future, North Park will seem like a hotel then, just like being on holiday. So to the staff I say “keep up the excellent work boys and girls” and to the residents “keep being happy, enjoy the entertainment, and making my day”."

"My husband has been a resident of North Park Care home since October 2020. He is well cared for and is always clean and tidy. Since he was admitted, visiting restrictions have been in operation, however, this has been overcome by a very welcoming, comfortable indoor visiting suite. All of the staff are very kind and understanding. They have helped me in what I have found difficult circumstances, with their reassurance, North Park has a happy and relaxed feeling! Staff are great, wonderful, etc. Thank you all."

"My husband has been a resident in North Park since October 2019. I am so pleased that we chose this care home for him. From the first moment we stepped through its doors, we were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere of the home and by its staff. My husband is happy and settled here. The home is situated overlooking a lovely park and he has a room with a view of the park. Everyone from management, admin, care staff through to catering and cleaning go above and beyond to care for and support residents and their families. It helps, in these troubled times, to know that my loved one is living in such a good place."

"This care home is by far the best in the area. The outside of the building projects the sense of good maintenance and care. All personnel are approachable, and you, alone are the most important person with no rushing but active listening going on. The carers etc, will get the best person to solve the problem and show empathy. The staff who are permanent, night shift are the best group of carers I have had the joy to meet. The food is mainly extremely good. The manager is simply the best. The activities team cover a wide range of activities suitable for the month and the season. These activities are very stimulating for the residents; encouraging conversations. As the manager is able to develop her ideas, the next CQC report should surely be "outstanding" taking a part in the community, even in these covid-19 times. It is important for the residents and staff."

"An absolute disgrace that you have put nothing in place to facilitate covid safe visits such as a room or pod in the 8 months since you closed your doors to families. All the times I've asked about a room or pod for winter and what happens, nothing. Full of lip service, you tell us we can't see our loved ones, not even through the window, you pass the buck and say ring head office if we're not happy. I ring the head office and they are very polite but reiterate I can't see my mam, just to remind you my mam is a lady with dementia, how dare you say she can't see her children, we've trusted you and you shut us out instead of doing what you can to keep families connected. Absolute shame on you. Treat people how you'd like to be treated yourself. If someone told you that you can't see your mam/dad/son/daughter/husband or wife indefinitely, not even through a window, would you say ok? I thought not, you would fight. Point is I shouldn't have to fight to see my own mam, but I will. Absolute disgrace."

All of the staff including the management team are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond not only for residents but also relatives. The staff have become like family for Grandad at a time when our family were struggling and really do treat all residents like a member of their own. Nothing is ever too much trouble no matter the request. As a family, we really cannot thank everyone here at North Park enough for love, care and respect they have shown Grandad and our family."

We cannot praise everyone enough for the love, care and compassion that is given from the manager right through to the housekeeping team. Thank you all so much, we all appreciate you greatly. We go home knowing our aunt is as loved there as she is at home. That she's cared for, safe and most of all happy. Keep up the great work you do for the elderly."

This week the care home staff excelled themselves even further. Her CHC funding came up for review and both management and a senior carer attended the meeting. Both were utterly professional and totally efficient and voiced her profound care needs very clearly and as a result, her funding has been agreed. Can't recommend North Park enough."

"Since new activity coordinators are in place, the residents have more things to do rather than just sitting around doing nothing. The garden could be better used by residents if there was a greenhouse/lean-to. I could help the residents grow plants/hanging baskets etc. Staffing levels seem low constantly. Carers running around all the time struggling with the workload. Some seniors are very hands-on, however, other's just sit in the office."

Aunty was very anxious going into a care home but with the genuine support and reassurance from staff, she soon settled.

"I am the appointee of a seriously ill resident person and have his written authority to manage his own affairs and assist his wife, his very kind and caring wife. We work hand in glove. His wife and I had him moved from another home in the vicinity, which had not met our expectation. Before moving him I prepared a detailed list of questions and spoke together about these points with both the General Manager and the Administrator. All answers were to our complete satisfaction. The difference is enormous. The purpose built place is very pleasant and its staff are very, very helpful, knowledgeable and always friendly. Neither his wife or I have discovered a single thing that was not done for him, on the contrary, being so ill, he seems to get such loving care. He is helped to walk to the lounge and the dining room, which I had not seen for more than three months. Occasionally my friend smiles again and already feels at home there."

"My Mam has been suffering with Alzheimer's for several years, we tried everything to keep her at home with my Dad (overnight carers, respite care, family care) but in July we were all at breaking point and reluctantly made the heartbreaking decision to take her to North Park. She did not want to go and we had to get Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. At first it was very hard, but eventually, she has slowly adjusted. She is happier than she was at home, she is stimulated and has made friends. The staff at North Park have been excellent, helping Mam and us through some very tough times. Having visited most of the homes in Darlington, I can confidently say North Park is the best. Mam loves to walk in the park and have her hair done. All the staff do truly "care"."
