Peaker Park Care Village in Market Harborough
Peaker Park Care Village in Market Harborough received this phenomenal review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team there ?? “I cannot rate Peaker Park highly enough. Not only is it spotlessly clean with modern rooms and ensuite facilities but the environment is calm and caring. My father settled in very quickly and was very happy there. They offer a variety of stimulating activities from making gingerbread houses and bird feeders to bingo, puzzles and games. During the pandemic, I was constantly kept up to date with photos and news about my dad. When my dad celebrated his 100th birthday, the team arranged a party for his unit and ordered a beautiful cake and decorated the dining room with banners and balloons. The empathy and care the team gave my father in his final days were absolutely amazing and the stories they told me about him made me realise they truly knew him and cared about him. Overall Standard Facilities”

Charnwood Oaks in Shepshed received this remarkable review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team there ?? “My dad had recently become a resident in Charnwood Oaks, all the staff are so caring and welcoming. It’s spotless. My dad looks so well since he’s been there. We’re still all new to this and was dreading it, as you hear things about care homes. All the staff have made it so easy for Dad and myself. All I can say is it’s a lovely place and would recommend this home from home, excellent, thank you from Dad and our family.”St Michaels in Waddington
