Park View

I cannot sing their praises highly enough and will never be able to thank them enough for making me feel secure in the knowledge my husband is safe and well cared for. That feeling is priceless!

I wanted to put on record how happy I have been with the care and professionalism shown by all the staff at Park View, during the Coronavirus Pandemic. It is very much to their credit that at the time of writing, they have not had a single case of COVID-19 within the care home, given the terrible situation some care homes in the UK have experienced. Park View stopped all visits at the outset of the pandemic and from what my mother has said, have been vigilant throughout this time in monitoring the health of the patients closely. I also received a reassuring letter from the management at the start of May which put things into perspective for me. Well done to the team - you are doing a great job and deserve recognition for this.

My Mum has dementia and has been at Park View for over a year now and despite being the hardest decision we had to make it was also the best. My brother and I visited many care homes before choosing Park View and it is way above the standards of others. The staff are friendly and welcoming and all work hard to ensure Mum's well being. They are also easy to talk to and have done all they can to ensure we can continue to communicate with Mum during this lockdown. Most importantly of all, I trust the staff with Mum and her care, I've not once regretted our decision to choose Park View and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for somewhere to look after their relative.

In September 2019, it became apparent our 85-year-old father could no longer be my mother's carer. My father and I visited Park View and were impressed at how friendly everyone was and how many activities go on during each day. One of the carers taking us around said 'Guests come here to Live not to just Exist' and that is so true. Mum has dementia and was admitted in September 2019 and we as a family have been very pleased with the care mum has received. This has never been more apparent than the situation we all find ourselves in now. Park View made the very difficult decision to go into lockdown on the 12th March 2020 knowing it was going to stop relatives seeing their loved ones. This was eleven days before the national lockdown. It was the best decision they made, as yet, they haven't had one case of Covid-19. We fully respect their decision and will support them for as long as it takes. They give us updates regarding Mum and always ask after my father and wish him well.

I can visit my Mum any time of the day and the staff are always welcoming. Mum, who has dementia, has been there for nearly seven years now, having become a resident when my brother became too ill to look after her in his home anymore. She has been very well looked after at Park View and is happy there.

Although I cannot visit her during this time, they are keeping me well informed of her health and well-being.

The assistant manager was great. She reassured me and was very patient and understanding. Over the last two years my friend was treated very well and was made to feel very comfortable and cared for. Thank you to all the staff and management for their care and support.

Our mother was a resident in Park View for 18 months during which time the staff were extremely understanding, caring and supportive of her needs. At times, mum was reluctant to comply with necessary events (visit from hairdresser, necessary pedicure attention etc) as her Alzheimer's reduced her ability to reason and understand her situation. The staff were great! They also respected her need to walk and escape the confines of her room, enabling her to enjoy a measure of freedom within a friendly, warm and companionable environment. They were also very supportive to us. They helped us understand our loss as we saw the alert, intelligent, capable and independent person fade as the disease took over. Thank you to everyone. We could never have managed without you!

I have been overwhelmingly impressed with my mums care here. Naturally, I was very anxious when mum was admitted but all the staff have shown outstanding care towards my mum and a real sense of empathy. I love the 'open door' policy and it is so clear there is nothing to hide here. Every time I come it is spotlessly clean and the staff are so professionally open and friendly. I have no concerns whatsoever.

We are so grateful that Mum received such great care in her years at Park View.

The general care is excellent. Staff are always smiling and helpful. Residents are so well looked after apart from in house entertainment. They get to visit a number of places in the area. Food, drinks and personal care is second to none.

Very happy with mum's care. Staff very sympathetic.

Staff both helpful and sympathetic. Professional management.

The care given to my friend cannot be better. The staff are very thoughtful and the effort they put into her 100th birthday was wonderful.

Management excellent. Staff excellent.

The home is very clean. The staff are very professional, kind and caring. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. All experiences have been entirely positive. Thank you.

Can I say this care home and all the staff are extremely friendly, caring and helpful whilst my nan was in the last stages of dementia. In the final moments they kept us updated all the time, took time to support us all the way and made my nan so comfortable. I am extremely grateful that my nan had her last few days there (was there for 2years) with caring staff, and for that we are grateful. Would love to say a massive thank you to all that looked after her and made her stay as comfortable and pleasing as it could have been. I rate this home 5 star. Thank you again.

I have always found it very clean, no smells, caring staff and kind staff to visitors. Nothing seems too much trouble. Thank you for the love and care to your patients and their visitors.

On my first visit to view the home, for possible placement, I was impressed with the refreshing aroma, throughout the home, I was impressed with the genuine affection and care displayed by the member of staff who greeted me. She displayed calm control of all that was happening about her. This later reflected the same confidence with all other members of staff.

My Mum went straight to Park View from hospital in January 2019. During the short time she has been there, the staff have been excellent. My Mum is much happier and now eating again thanks to the staff persevering with her and encouraging her. The care home is very clean and tidy and the staff always happy to help with any concerns, worries or needs. Both myself and my brother would highly recommend Park View Witham.
