About Parkside
Here at Parkside, we are a residential care home based in Romford, Havering, and we are proud to be part of this local community. We support older people who need a safe, comfortable and genuinely caring place to call home, whether that is on a permanent basis or for a shorter respite stay. We know that choosing a care home, for yourself or for someone you love, is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. We do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels respected, heard and at ease from the very first day. We take time to get to know each person properly, understanding their routines, their preferences and the things that matter most to them, so that the care we provide feels personal rather than generic. Our team works hard to create an environment that feels like a real home rather than an institution. We encourage residents to maintain their independence wherever possible and to stay connected with family, friends and the wider community around them. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in a rating of good, which we feel reflects the genuine effort our staff put in every single day. We are always looking at how we can continue to improve and grow, because we believe there is always more we can do to make life better for the people in our care. If you are considering Parkside for yourself or a family member, we would warmly welcome the chance to show you around and answer any questions you might have. Please do get in touch with us. We are based here in Romford and we are always happy to have a conversation.
