Care Home Owned by Berkley Care Group in Berkshire

in through her time, advice and patience.

It felt terrifying to go from caring for Mum at home to make the leap to entrusting her care to other people - but the fantastic staff at Shinfield turned our fears into relief as we saw an instant change in Mum at lunch after her first night. She was already talking about her favourite tree and she was smiling for the first time in a while.

The food is really tasty and tailored to the individual residents, the activities are great fun (thank you to Vicky and Laura) and the care is superb (thank you Charlie and Janet and their teams).

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

garden and a door which allowed me access to the garden. The staff were excellent. They were attentive,friendly,caring and efficient.
The whole atmosphere was supportive and I felt at home very quickly. I had several visitors who were always welcomed whatever the time and often joined me for a meal.
The food was excellent. There was always a good choice and it was tasty and nutritious.
I was supported with my recovery and accompanied to visits with my GP.
All in all this was an excellent experience which enabled me to recover well.
My thanks to the wonderful staff who cared for me so well.

and having lots of social interaction.

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.

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.

a short period of time.
My wife has now completed her Respite Care and is now back at home in a much improved condition compared to when she went into Shinfield View, both physically and mentally. This improvement has been immediately noticeable to both family and friends.
I cannot praise Shinfield View and its staff highly enough. If I were to list individuals who went the extra mile, I would probably end up listing everybody. They were all that good and the level of care was simply outstanding! It's been everything I hoped for in terms of her care, safety and security and more. So glad that I chose Shinfield View.
Thank you all so much.

visited regularly and we were always made welcome and kept informed of my wife's wellbeing and activities. One highlight was being able to have lunch in the Bistro with my wife whenever we wished, which she really enjoyed.
As time went on my first impressions of the staff were confirmed they were dedicated, caring, cheerful, and nothing was to much trouble for them.
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.

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.

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.

as well, as physically looking after his well-being, his mind was kept active with various outings and activities.
He gained friends at Shinfield, both residents and staff.
For someone who had previously led such an active and independent life, we thought it would be difficult for him to adapt but he enjoyed himself.
The environment and surroundings meant it was a pleasure for us as family and friends to visit him, in a lovely, caring environment. The food was lovely & he enjoyed having half a lager too!
Everyone was so kind to him.

very well looked after and enjoys the food, which looks delicious, especially with a glass of wine! Great evening events for families to join in with their loved ones. Turn up at any time and always plenty of staff around and always makes your visit special. My mother-in-law now refers to Shinfield View as her home.
Since being at Shinfield View, we no longer have any stress or worries about her well-being.
Thank you to all the staff for your brilliant and hard work.

he consistently refused to entertain any discussion with his family over his well-being if the conversation ever included mention of care homes!
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.

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.

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.

unfortunately, only had four weeks here before she passed away. She died at the home, and we were all there with her. The staff through the night looked after Mum right until the end and opened up a room for us to take a break, providing endless coffee, tea, sandwiches and pastries. I would not have wanted Mum to have been anywhere else. Our only regret is that Mum couldn't have enjoyed it more surrounded by these beautiful staff who show love, respect and dedication. Don't hesitate to consider this home; you will not regret it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

exercise classes, chair practice, trips out etc. They keep an eye on the resident's dietary requirements and intake. They take photos for Facebook to keep loved ones updated. Fun and happy atmosphere throughout. We have both enjoyed the social activities and feel very happy.
