Oakdene
We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
"Cannot speak highly enough of Oakdene. The staff are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble.
Mum has settled really well and loves getting involved in games etc. Always out - more than me! Brilliant now - set up the dining room with breakfast bar - like a hotel - promotes independence for everyone.
Back to the old days of Mum making me tea!.”

To celebrate Father's Day yesterday, We invited friends and families to join us for a barbecue to celebrate all the Dads of Riversway.
We played lots of music that we sang along to followed by a few games of higher or lower with the big cards.
Everyone had a wonderful Day.
All the dads at Riversway got a lovely Dad cup with a bar of chocolate and a packet of sweets wrapped in clear paper tied in a bow as a special gift from everyone in the home.

Barons Park
We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
"First impressions count and for us, it was excellent. We were given early access to his room prior to admission to ensure familiar surroundings upon his arrival from the Hospice.
The nursing element of his care is very professional and of a high standard whilst not being too intrusive.
Baron's Park does everything that it says and goes above and beyond for our loved one and for the family.
We as a whole family feel very reassured that he is in safe hands.”

We had a lovely time at the cinema.
Kinema in the Woods is a unique place, the screen uses a rear projector from behind it rather than from behind us giving a very traditional feel. We loved it there!
