We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone.

This inspection was carried out to follow up on action we told the provider to take at the last inspection. At the time of our inspection there was a registered manager in post. – the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve. Park Farm Lodge features separate dining rooms, where residents can join the company of others at meal times and enjoy traditional home cooked meals.
Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing. We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection. We sought feedback from the local authority and professionals who work with the service.
Park Farm Lodge - Providing Expert Care
The site’s 4 million visitors a year comprise roughly 45% older people, 45% younger family and relatives, and 10% professionals who work with older people. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication. Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. Care services offered to people in housing-with-care facilities are regulated, subject to periodic inspections and awarded grades. Wherever possible, Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the housing-with-care pages on this website.
At Park Farm Lodge Care Home, residents are considered part of the family. There was a learning culture in place and the provider engaged with external agencies as required to ensure people had the right support. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. The provider had safe recruitment processes in place and people were supported by enough staff who were suitably skilled and trained. Risks to people were assessed and plans put in place to mitigate them. Staff had knowledge of how to support people safely when providing their care.

We used the information the provider sent us in the provider information return . This is information providers are required to send us annually with key information about their service, what they do well, and improvements they plan to make. – the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally.
But also because planning ahead may be needed to ensure that where you live now is ‘age proofed’, and that if you wish to consider moving, you have good information and advice to help you understand all your options. As with hotels, the cost of living in a care home varies widely according to its location, the size of your room or suite, and the facilities on offer. There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Those run by private operators more often focus on lifestyle, with help and care services discretely available to buy if or when required.
They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations. We spoke with four people who used the service and 17 relatives about their experience of the care provided. We spoke with 10 members of staff including the registered manager, operational manager, nurses, unit managers, deputy unit managers, senior care and care staff. We reviewed eight people's care records and multiple medication records. A variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures were reviewed.
With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. People were safeguarded from abuse, the providers systems meant staff understood what signs to look for and reported any incidents for investigation.
A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. Spring Tree Rest Home is a medium size care residence located in Tamworth, with capacity to house thirty residents.
The inspection was carried out by one inspector and a Expert by Experience. An Expert by Experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service. At the time of the inspection, several residents were recovering from serious illnesses or had recently died, so the Home was only able to provide short-term accommodation for 48 adults. Our National Housing for Older People Awards celebrate examples of successful retirement housing and housing-with-care.
