A purpose-built home from home
Introducing Codnor Park Care Home
‘I strive to ensure that all residents of Condor Park feel cared for and cherished, receiving the high level of care that I would want for my own family in a care home.”
Deputy Manager
Codnor Park Care Home is a purpose-built residential home, constructed in 1997, the home features 40 fully-furnished en-suite rooms. Resident wellbeing is our absolute focus, we work hard to ease every resident into their new environment recognising that for many people moving into a care home can be a daunting transition. We want to reassure you that many people move in and discover a newfound sense of freedom and comfort, to support this we encourage residents to personalise their rooms with their cherished possessions.
With a dedicated activities team on-site everyday there is lots of ways to find enjoyment, we carefully plan activities to make sure that they are person centred and meaningful for the individuals residing within the home.
We continually strive to enhance our services, as demonstrated by our recent garden renovation project. Our revamped garden now offers a serene environment for residents, families, and staff to savor the outdoors. Featuring raised flower beds, this space is a haven for gardening enthusiasts.
Furthermore, we are excited to share that we are currently working on establishing a charming 'tea room' within our home. This space will be perfect for individuals who may find it challenging to venture outside, this area will provide an opportunity for residents and families to relish a café-like experience within the comfort of our building.
“Wonderful, caring, patient staff. The residents' needs and desires are always of top priority. The home is welcoming, exceptionally clean and bright. The management team ensure you are kept in the loop of all care decisions. The whole team feel like a family. It is always a pleasure to visit.”

We understand the significance of having a dedicated team of activity coordinators who are committed to providing and promoting a variety of activities and hobbies. Our goal is to ensure that all our residents have the opportunity to engage in personalised and meaningful activities.
Fostering robust community connections is crucial for promoting the wellbeing of our residents. We take an active role in numerous local organisations and regularly organise community events, such as our popular 'Dementia Tea Dance' and Friday sessions at the local community cafe, which are open to both residents and the public.
Robert and Sharon (twins) Story
The past few years that Mum was at home, things had become increasingly stressful. We made sure to speak to her every day and ensure her well-being, but any disruption to her routine would greatly upset her. During this time, Mum shared with us, "I never thought I'd be this lonely." We offered to visit more frequently, but she insisted, "No, I just wanted you to know."
Mum moved into Codnor Park last summer after a major fall at home resulted in her hospitalisation. During Mum's hospital stay, we visited Codnor Park for a look around. It was our top choice as Mum is from Codnor, and we wanted her to stay local so we could visit regularly. At the time, the home had only one room available. We requested an assessment, which was promptly completed. The home's management team saw no reason why Mum would not be a good fit for the placement.
Although Mum had always been clear about not wanting to go into a care home, as a family, we knew she didn't want to be alone either. Despite her initial resistance, we felt getting her into a care facility was the best option. The transition happened quickly but we were over the moon that she was at Codnor Park because we couldn't imagine Mum anywhere else.
Mum has adapted far better than we expected. It's a tremendous relief for our family knowing she is surrounded by people who care for her. Mum thrives on routine, and any disruption can upset her. While she may sometimes seem confused about her location, we believe she has carried her home routine into her new environment. She's now able to walk well, a significant improvement from struggling after her multiple falls. We attribute this progress to receiving three nutritious meals a day at the home, a stark contrast to her eating habits at home.
We visit Mum most days, even if just for a short time, to help her maintain her routine, which has always been important to her. Building relationships with the other residents has been lovely, we love seeing everyone, and we always make sure to say goodbye to everyone before leaving.
Any concerns we have we are able to raise at the residents and relatives meetings, we go every time they are held and we would strongly encourage more people to come too! They are a great thing to come along to because it gives families the opportunity to have a say.
“The Codnor Park Residential Home is brilliant. It looks after my dad brilliant. The home is very clean and bright. The food is excellent. Staff 100% in what they doing. Management always there to answer your questions. I know dad is safe in Codnor Park and being looked after day/night. Very pleased with the home that we picked for dad.
Thank you for all that you are doing for him.”
