About Us

We are Park House Rest Home, a residential care home on Hayling Island in Hampshire. We provide accommodation and personal care for older people, and we also support younger adults whose needs are better met in a homely setting than in a clinical one. Many of the people who live here are living with dementia or with a mental health condition, and our team is used to adapting the way we work so that someone feels settled rather than managed.

Everything begins with getting to know a person properly. Before anyone moves in we talk with them and with the people who know them best, so that we understand the routine they are used to, what they enjoy eating, when they prefer to rise and go to bed, and what they would still like to do for themselves. That understanding becomes their care plan, and we revisit it as things change rather than leaving it to sit in a folder.

We also offer respite care, whether that is planned time away for a family carer or a short stay while someone regains their confidence. A short stay is prepared for with the same care as a permanent move.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are pleased with that, although we treat it as a standard to keep meeting rather than something finished, and we keep asking residents and their relatives what we could do better.

More about the care at Park House Rest Home

What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.

Older Person Care

Older person care in a residential setting usually covers help with washing, dressing, continence, prompting or administering medication, and the companionship that stops long days from feeling empty. Park House Rest Home is registered for this type of care, and its own description places weight on learning a person's routine before they move in, from mealtimes to when they prefer to rise. Families comparing homes on Hayling Island should ask how personal care is scheduled around a resident's own pace rather than a fixed rota. It is also worth asking how many staff are awake overnight, how call bells are answered after dark, and how GP visits and medication reviews are arranged. Typical weekly fees across the South East sit between £1100 and £1450, while Hampshire County Council usually funds around £800 to £950.

Dementia

Well delivered dementia care tends to rely on familiar routines, staff trained to read behaviour as communication, and a layout that feels calm and safely contained rather than locked down. Park House Rest Home in Hayling Island is registered for dementia care and notes in its own words that many residents are living with dementia or a mental health condition, with the team adapting so someone feels settled rather than managed. Its most recent CQC inspection in October 2019 resulted in an overall rating of good. Useful questions for a family visit include how the home responds when someone becomes distressed or tries to leave, how night time restlessness is handled, and how the care plan is updated as the condition progresses. Ask too how the home involves relatives when decisions need revisiting.

Mental Health

Adults with a long standing mental health condition often do best where the day has a predictable shape, privacy is respected and support is offered without fuss. Park House Rest Home is registered to support people in this group alongside its older residents. Families should ask what experience the staff have with specific diagnoses, how medication and reviews with community mental health teams are coordinated, and what the home does if someone becomes acutely unwell.

Younger Adults

Being under 65 in a home where most residents are much older can feel isolating unless the setting actively thinks about age appropriate routines, interests and social contact. Park House Rest Home is registered to support younger adults whose needs are better met in a homely environment than a clinical one. Ask how choices about bedtimes, outings and technology are supported, and whether there are opportunities to mix with peers of a similar age.

Respite Care

Respite stays work best when booked well ahead, with a clear handover covering medication, dietary needs, sleep patterns and the small preferences that make someone feel at home. Pack comfortable clothing, toiletries, any mobility aids and a few familiar items. Park House Rest Home offers respite alongside permanent care, and its CQC rating of good from October 2019 covers the whole service. Many families use a short stay as a trial before committing.

Residential Care

Residential care means help with the ordinary shape of a day, meals cooked for you, support with bathing and dressing, prompts with medication, and company in shared rooms, without the clinical input of a registered nurse on site. Anyone whose health needs tip into ongoing nursing would normally be placed in a nursing home instead, or supported by district nurses visiting from the community. Park House Rest Home is registered for residential care rather than nursing, and describes itself as a homely rather than clinical setting. Families should ask how meals are planned around preferences and appetite, what happens during the day beyond television, and how the home works with GPs and community nurses when health changes. Weekly fees in the South East typically fall between £1100 and £1450, with Hampshire usually funding closer to £800 to £950.
