Hi Wendy - thank you for sharing this, it’s great to hear the list was helpful and that you were able to find a home that felt right so quickly. I’m glad the team could support you along the way.
Very helpful service listing suitable care homes
Provided a list of local care homes which matched my criteria giving approximate fees and distance from my location. Finding a care home is a difficult time consuming process and this type of guidance is a great basis to start from.

Hi Hannah - thank you for sharing such kind words, it’s lovely to hear how much you value the team and the environment at Parklands.
As this review is about the care home itself, they would really appreciate it if you could also share your feedback on their profile on carehome.co.uk so others can benefit from hearing about your experience too.

Hi Chris - thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you found the team helpful and the information useful.
My loved one’s needs thoroughly assessed
I had a full discussion about my mother’s needs, financial situation etc which enabled Gemma to give me a good shortlist of care homes to visit.

Hi Julie - thank you for sharing this. Having the chance to talk everything through properly can make such a difference, and it’s great to hear Gemma was able to give you a shortlist that felt right for your mum.
Very helpful,friendly and efficient
I found the website very helpful with sufficient detail to shortlist homes that fitted our criteria to visit. The phone call was extremely helpful in assisting me to prioritise the areas of need to focus on and was friendly and understanding at what is stressful time.

Teresa Robb Is Shocked
Teresa Robb is doing this review
I wrote a great review for a member of staff which I meant every word (then) The same staff member phoned me today 17/4/26 to basically tell me they can't help me anymore as I never took up any of the referrals given, but they were emailed telling them I have to put things on hold, as I had just received a phone call from my Mother's doctor in England and it was NOT very good news, I am very disappointed in this as they are basically telling me, my Mother is of no importance. They have really NO idea what I'm dealing with or going through. I will NEVER try them again. No One or Anything is more IMPORTANT than my Mother.

Reply from carehome.co.uk
Hi Teresa - we’re very sorry to read this. We can only imagine how difficult things must be for you right now, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your mother’s situation. It’s completely understandable that your priority is with her, and we’re sorry if our recent contact felt upsetting or insensitive.
We really appreciate the kind feedback you shared previously, and we’re sorry this experience has changed how you feel. As a free service, we’re only able to provide a limited number of shortlists rather than ongoing, unlimited support. We do aim to make this clear from the outset, but we understand this may still feel disappointing, particularly given your circumstances.
We wish you and your mother all the very best at this challenging time.
Thank you for your help
Thank you for your help. Mum is moving in to one of the care homes on your shortlist on Monday.

Hi Penny - we hope the move went smoothly and that your mum settles in comfortably. If there’s anything you need along the way, we’re here to help.
Platform for fake reviews
While the website provides some good information about Carehomes it has become pretty obvious that many reviews are fake!
It seems little or no action is taken when to verify or vet the positive 5 star reviews.

Hi Lorraine - we’re really sorry to hear you’ve been left with this impression.
Trust is incredibly important to us, especially when families are making such important decisions. That’s why every single review published on our platform goes through a rigorous verification process. We take great pride in ensuring that all reviews reflect genuine experiences - real feedback from real families.
Our checks are intentionally thorough, and in many cases this level of scrutiny can be frustrating for care providers, as we won’t publish reviews unless they meet our strict validation standards. It’s a process we stand by, because it helps protect the integrity and reliability of the information families rely on.
If there’s a specific review that raised concerns for you, we’d really welcome the opportunity to look into it further and provide reassurance. If you'd like to email us at reviews@carehome.co.uk, we will look into this for you.
