  • Park View, Witham
Park View is situated in Witham and many of the rooms overlook the parklands. Yet, Parkview’s unique location is such that the heart of the town is a short walk away, giving both peaceful location and the busy town.

Park View has a wonderful friendly atmosphere, and paved courtyards allow the space for outdoor activities as well and all these activities are designed to stimulate, amuse and entertain all of those cared for.

The Home is spacious with beautiful lounges, dining areas and a conservatory, again another peaceful area for either gentle activities or to sit and read or complete a crossword.

Initially chosen for the friendly, welcoming atmosphere when we brought our mother here in 2014, we are pleased that this has remained so over time and that my mother is so well cared for.

I have always found Park View to be a first class residential home. The staff are always kind and caring towards the residents. The home itself is very well run and the hygiene and care are excellent. My mother has been in care for a number of years and I feel that she would not be with us if not for
the care that she has received. Well done to Park View and all of its staff.

It has been a very difficult and upsetting time putting mum into a care home- but Park View has been very patient with mum and she now appears to have accepted the change and is content. This has put our minds at rest and feel the best decision was made and we have nothing but praise for the home and
most importantly the staff.

I've been very pleased with the way Park View have cared for my mother and she is very happy there. I looked at a number of other care homes and found this one was the best for my mother. The staff are all very caring and always have time to chat with the residents.

I have been treated so kindly since coming to Park View. Being diabetic, there have been a few problems trying to sort a diet which suits me but every care is taken to assist with this. There is truthfully not one member of staff who has ever upset me in any way. It helps when everyone is so friendly
and helpful. If I could not spend Xmas with family, I'm sure here would be fine.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Park View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.797 for Park View is calculated as follows: ( (314 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.797

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park View is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
