Care Homes Owned by Berkley Care Group in Berkshire

My experience dealing with Shinfield View has been exceptional, this was from day one when a member of the team met with myself and the now resident in their home. The care and conditions at Shinfield View are one hundred percent, management and care staff are always pleasant and most helpful when carrying out their respective duties. I would commend Shinfield View to anyone seeking care.

From the moment my father moved into Shinfield View in August 2025 during a very challenging time for his health, the care he has received has been nothing short of exceptional. As I don't live nearby, I rely heavily on the team to support his care and wellbeing.

The improvement in him over the past few months has been remarkable. He has gone from rarely engaging to actively participating in daily life, making the most of activities and outings.

What stands out most is the team themselves - kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in every resident. They take the time to understand the little things that matter, like Dad's love of afternoon tea and fruitcake. Recently he's enjoyed trips out, time in the allotment, and quiz nights, which has made such a difference to his quality of life.

As a family, we have complete peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and so well cared for. Thank you to the entire Shinfield View team-we are incredibly grateful.

Dad has been living here for some time, and our experience has been consistently positive. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely caring, taking the time to understand him as an individual. They pay close attention to personal likes and dislikes and make a real effort to accommodate them, which brings comfort and familiarity.

There's a wide range of entertainment and activities designed to suit different interests and abilities. Residents are encouraged to join in but never pressured, and the team always makes participation enjoyable.

The staff take health and wellbeing very seriously. When Dad has experienced health difficulties, the team respond with professionalism, calm, and clear expertise, keeping us informed and ensuring he feels safe and supported.

The team at Shinfield View goes the extra mile to make the environment feel like home, and knowing Dad is surrounded by people who genuinely care and show such respect means so much.

The other residents are delightful and made such an effort to include Mum. Shinfield View is fabulous.

My thanks to the wonderful staff who cared for me so well.

Highly recommended

We will be back, we all benefited from the break knowing she was safe and having lots of social interaction.

My mother has been welcomed into the home by the very friendly/dedicated staff and management, which has enabled her to settle into life at the home relatively easily. She has been supported to participate in many of the home's various activities, both internal and external, and it is fantastic to see the many pictures of her enjoying herself, doing things she wouldn't be doing if she was still living in her own home by herself. All in all, the care she receives has given her family and friends the comfort of knowing she is happy and above all safe in her new environment.

Dad came to Shinfield View initially for respite in December 2024, after a fall that left him quite immobile. Dad then became a permanent resident and absolutely loved being here. He became more mobile with a frame and participated in many events that the incredible team put on. Sadly last month he passed away. Dad received treatment in hospital but it wasn't successful so he came back to this lovely home for his final days. I cannot express how grateful we are as a family for all the love and care every member of staff gave him and us. Everything about the home is exemplary, each member of staff from the receptionist, all the carers, the events team and management were amazing and went above and beyond. It is such a wonderful home and I couldn't recommend it more. Thank you for taking so much care of dad.

Thank you all so much.

Sadly my wife's health deteriorated and she required a lot more care, which the staff willingly provided. Sadly my wife passed away in the home on 1st February, and I cannot fault the staffs care from the day that she arrived until her sad passing.

I'm delighted with the care received for my mother. Staff are lovely and truly caring and approachable. Facilities are great, of special note are the organised events. The property is always clean, food is good.

My dad first went to Shinfield for respite, beginning of September he needed to go in permanently due to his decline with his dementia. The move was smooth and Dad has settled in really well. From management through to all the staff, were so kind and caring and helped all of us navigate this change. Because of the dementia, there have been a lot of ups and downs with my dad's health, communication has been excellent every time. Would definitely recommend this care home, I feel happy that my dad is being looked after well.

We were impressed with Shinfield View from the beginning when the newly appointed Manager and her colleague went to my friend's home at short notice for a pre-assessment. Within two days my friend was welcomed into the home. From our first visit, we always received a warm welcome. The receptionist and carers always had time for us, no matter how busy they were. Shinfield View is a very well-appointed home with a lovely garden and vegetable patch. My friend was a resident on the first floor due to her increasing dementia. The staff were so kind to her, which she herself regularly remarked on. She enjoyed joining in with the activities and thoroughly enjoyed the food which she said was excellent. As her health deteriorated the care of the local GP and nurses and excellent communication with us was always very reassuring. We visited 2 days before my friend died in the home, but were comforted by the fact that she was never left on her own as the end drew near.

Everyone was so kind to him.

Thank you to all the staff for your brilliant and hard work.

Dad agreed to a one-month respite trial at Shinfield View, and within only a matter of a few days in their care, he had decided he wanted to stay for good and became a permanent resident. The staff are wonderful - he is treated at all times with the utmost care, respect and dignity. I have had no cause for complaint throughout the past seven months, and I would thoroughly recommend Shinfield View to anyone considering placing a loved one in a care home.

Words cannot even express how happy we were to choose Shinfield View for our mother’s final months of her life. With a sudden sad diagnosis, she knew she could no longer live on her own. The staff at Shinfield View embraced her with kindness and compassion beyond being like family. Amazing location, garden, activities, food and a beautiful large room. We were beyond thankful every single day she was there for the comforts and care she received. Weekly varied calendars of events for all levels of abilities, incredible, plentiful, tasty food for all. Such generosity to extend this to visitors and family alike. Carers, staff and admin all going above and beyond day-in-day-out. The end days of my mother’s life were sacred to us, and we were treated with continuous compassion and care around the clock. Truly, couldn’t have asked for anything more. We would highly recommend Shinfield View to anyone lucky enough to consider having their loved one in this beautiful home. My brother and I will forever be grateful.

Shinfield View was the perfect home for Mum to spend her last five weeks in. She loved the location and the ability to still share coffee and chat with her friends and family. Above all, the great facilities and events, the staff and the people at Shinfield View are what make it so special. From the receptionist to the carers, the ladies in charge, the cleaners, cooks, singers and event coordinators - everyone who works at Shinfield View cares for the residents and has a calling and passion for what they do. Thank you all for caring for me and my sister as well as our beloved Mum.

My father was very well looked after, and the staff were very kind and helpful. He was encouraged to take part in the activities and not remain in his room. He went home looking very well cared for. He was on respite for two weeks.
