So happy we found Willow Park for my mother-in-law when we needed it. She’d just left hospital and the plan was for 2-3 week respite care while she recovered her strength, after 3 weeks she said she wasn’t quite ready to go home alone so wanted to stay another week. She then plucked up the courage to say she didn’t want to leave and would like to stay if they’d have her. We were actually thrilled and could see just how happy she was, we were too as she was in a safe place with lots of company instead of being alone all day while we worked. She’d made lots of friends and really enjoyed Willow Park, in fact, we’d all say she flourished so thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Daughter-in-Law of Resident, Willow Park Lodge published on May 7, 2021

My mother has been a resident of Willow Park Lodge for almost two years. I was pleased to find Willow Park Lodge, a new building designed for purpose with all rooms having en suite bathrooms, unlike many other places I viewed which were repurposed old buildings. I am so happy that it was successfully steered through the last year by the manager and her committed and caring team. My mother often describes herself as happy and content living there and I am confident her care is of the highest standard. I especially appreciate the commitment to good communication – a necessity over this last year, as I live far away but the relatives’ online meetings, FaceTimes with my mother and regular news updates have kept me up to speed with events. In particular, the photographs on the website and group Facebook page help me to see the events that she has participated in, as her memory doesn’t allow her to remember these. Having a key worker has also kept me updated regarding her well-being and care plan.

Willow Park Lodge offers a caring and friendly environment with excellent facilities. The home is very well managed and has committed and caring staff who work incredibly hard, taking time to get to know residents really well and to focus on the needs of the individual. They often go the extra mile to support residents. The Willow Park Lodge team have worked tirelessly throughout the past year and there have been vast improvements in the way the home is managed. I would not hesitate to recommend Willow Park Lodge.
