About Park House Care Home
Here at Park House Care Home in Wellingborough, North Northamptonshire, we provide nursing care for older people, those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and younger adults who need extra support. We also offer respite care for those who need a short stay, whether that is to recover after a time in hospital or to give a family carer some time to rest. We want to be straightforward with you. Our most recent CQC rating is "requires improvement", and we take that seriously. We have been working through the areas highlighted in our inspection, making practical changes and listening closely to residents, families and our staff team as we do so. We think it is important that anyone considering care here knows where we stand and what we are doing about it, rather than reading something that glosses over the reality. What has not changed is the way we try to approach day to day life at Park House. We work hard to know each person properly, understanding their routines, their preferences and the things that matter most to them. For residents living with dementia, that means paying close attention to the details that help someone feel settled and safe. For younger adults and those with physical disabilities, it means making sure care fits around the individual rather than the other way around. Families are always welcome here. We find that when relatives feel informed and involved, it makes a genuine difference to how residents settle in and how they feel day to day. We encourage open conversations and will always try to give you an honest answer. We are not where we want to be yet, but we are committed to getting there. If you would like to visit or have any questions, please do get in touch with us directly.
