Bossley Parkside Care Community

Most of my clients were referred to this Nursing home and they absolutely loved it. The staff are so friendly and loving. There’s a lot of activities and they feel very comfortable and safe.

I cannot thank the staff and management team at Bossley Parkside Care Community enough. The level of care and respect they showed my grandfather within the last 2 years and a bit of his life was so genuine and loving. I am very thankful for everything they did for him, especially his carers - they are amazing people!

I cannot speak highly enough of the genuine care by. ALL the staff at Bossley Parkside - it really is as the name suggests a ‘Care Community’! From the moment I met Stella, I was impressed by the warmness and support given to me - esp with all the paperwork involved in placing mum there. The staff to resident ratio is amazing! There are staff popping into her room constantly and there’s a real ‘buzz’ about the place! The laundry is on site and the laundry ladies are always smiling and are happy to label the constant stream of outfits I swap over for mum! Even the cleaner has a great sense of humour and always smiles and is helpful! The RNs are in constant contact with phone calls and messages promptly about any health issues that arise and nip them in the bud. The Dr visits frequently. The events manager, Hamza, is amazing! There are always events on - singing, dancing etc - mum is now the ‘Zumba Queen’ there with Mama Rosa, holding her while they dance! They get her up and moving! They have a mini bus and the residents get taken out for pizza & pasta or coffee or gelato etc! They put a few in a maxi cab and took them to the city’s Theatre Royal to see the musical ‘Lovely’!!! I was so envious! I don’t want to leave anyone out but need to make mention of the lengths the staff go to above and beyond their jobs eg Sabu with her magic curling wand - mum is very happy when, between hairdressing appointments, Sabu fixes her hair! Apple paints her nails! Again, way above the job description I’m sure, but makes mum really happy! Wilma comes in and helps her too - the socialization and connection aspect is very important and the staff at Bossley Parklands are amazing at how they patiently spend their time with the patients! Recently mum celebrated her 100th birthday. The staff couldn’t do any more to help her celebrate - they are like ‘family’ to her! They drive her to the initial function on Sat at the Marconi Soccer Club where I’d organised a birthday celebration for her. Then on the Monday, her actual birthday, Hamza and staff organized a birthday party in the gardens there! They decorated the area and had a lovely round cake and petit fours, canolli, cup cakes, berries etc I brought in a vanilla slab cake and the head chef decorated the cake beautifully - she’s another long term staffer - I think she said over 35 years there! . They even had a musician come in and play all afternoon! Mum was up dancing with all the staff and some of the residents who were all brought out, danced with mum too! It was an amazing highlight of the type of caring community Bossley Parklands is! I apologize for not mentioning more names of staff - but rest assured - there are many who are just amazing their interactions! It may be an older building but inside it is full of love & care!

Bossley Park Community Centre is a fantastic place! As a student gaining experience, I felt incredibly supported and enriched here. The staff are welcoming and dedicated, creating a positive atmosphere for everyone. I learned so much during my time, from community engagement to running local programs. A special shoutout to Hasma, who was so helpful and made me feel comfortable and not nervous at all. It's a place where you can really see the impact of community work. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get involved or gain valuable experience!
