Choosing a care home for a loved one is so difficult. Park View were compassionate and practical from the start. The atmosphere is both calm and respectful. Being able to visit any time meant a lot.

My dad moved into Park View following a bout of Acute Delirium. The manager, Darren, couldn't have been more supportive and understanding towards me, along with the support of his management team - Karen, Kelly and Sabrina. The support staff - Nikki, Neil, Andy and Pauline, along with the ' long-suffering' kitchen staff, have been excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. All are so polite and patient. Some examples of their kindness are - Pata, who consoled my dad when very upset, distracting him with his photos, and Dupa, who personally went to get Dad's prescription. These are just 2 examples of the lovely staff, there are too many to mention by name, but Saru, Shanti, Durpga, Slaelja, Maya and Indu should be very proud of themselves and their teams. All residents seem happy, the most important consideration! Thank you to all staff for their kindness to my dad and understanding shown to me and my mum. We will no doubt be back in the future!

We have just had a great time with mum enjoying an afternoon in the garden having a bbq organised by the manager and wonderful staff. Followed by entertainment in the lounge. Its nice to see that they involve some of the residents in the running of these events. We have noticed in the last few months a lot of changes around the home for the better. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about Park View. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our summer BBQ. We'll ensure we share your feedback with the team.
I am very happy with the service my dad got plus I was made welcome too and nothing was to much of a problem. This is a five star care home in my opinion and anyone should not have any problems with love ones going in to the home

My mother has been a resident at Park View Home for seven months. The experience has been very positive. All the staff are kind, patient and attentive, taking time to get to know her and I feel happy as I know she is very well cared for. Park View is a lovely, clean, comfortable and welcoming home for all residents and their families. The food looks and smells good and they are varied. The staff keep me up to date with Mum's health and care, for which I am deeply grateful. I would and do recommend Park View Care Home to other families, who are looking for a supportive, compassionate environment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send in such a lovely review. The whole team really appreciate it and it such a pleasure to care for your mother.
My sisters and me met with the manager this morning. Very positive meeting about our brother. The manager was very understanding and kind. We had a good outcome and we are happy that our brother will stay in the care home.

My nan is well looked after at Park View. She is on the dementia suite. Staff engage with her well and encourage her to join in on activities which she enjoys. Staff are aware of how important family is to my nan and know of our family so can talk to nan about us when we are not there and this gives her reassurance. The home always smells clean, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I also get to have meals with my nan when I visit. Nan always looks well looked after. She is very happy there. Staff always show support to us. It was a difficult decision to make to move Nan into a home, but Park View helped us with this process and it was the best decision.
Thank you for your lovely review and thank you for taking the time to complete it. The whole staff team of Park View really appreciate it and we are pleased that the transition of moving into Park View was such a positive experience for you.

Mum has been resident for less than a month. Her experience has been excellent, and has exceeded our expectations from the initial visit to her moving into her room. She is well cared for and everyone is helpful and polite. We have introduced a whiteboard for all the staff to communicate with Mum as she is profoundly deaf. This has been very successful and we have noticed that staff leave sweet little messages and pictures on it. Thank you Park View for making Mum's life so comofrtable and happy.
Thank you for taking the time to send in your lovely review. The Park View team feel very privileged that you chose Park View to care for your mum.

My father (Boster) has been at Park View Care Centre for approx 3 months. The staff are amazing, he is well looked after, he is always clean-shaven and clean. The food is very good and mostly homemade. My father is treated with dignity and respect. The carers are very smiley and seem very happy in their work and it shines through. When I come to visit I'm always offered a cup of tea with my father and I can always eat with him in the restaurant. 10/10 my rating.
Our team greatly appreciate the feedback and the time you have taken to send it. It is wonderful to care for your father and this helps us in keeping on improving.
Excellent care given to my grandma. They look after her attentively, making sure she is safe at all times.

After a series of falls in her own flat, I managed to get a place for my mum in Park View Care Centre in October 2024. Right from the beginning, I felt mum was in a much safer environment. The rooms were comfortable and the staff very welcoming. There are many activities for the residents to join in with, should they wish to. The management and nursing staff are first class, although some of the night staffing provided by agency staff could be better. I would highly recommend Park View Care Centre.
Thank you for your lovely review. It has been a real privilege to care for your mum. As a team we feel very proud that you would recommend us, it is something we do not take for granted.

On entering Park View, I'm greeted with a lovely smiling receptionist. Always a good morning/afternoon. The care staff are very friendly, even when short-staffed at weekends. The manager is always available to listen to the very occasional concern about Christine. Neil the maintenance man is extremely helpful. It's a warm friendly place, I'm relieved to find Park View are caring for Christine very well.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that you feel welcomed and reassured when visiting, and that the team's friendliness and support have made a positive difference. Your kind words about the team are greatly appreciated by everyone at Park View.

When they see their relative settled and happy it brings them a great deal of peace and it makes me feel proud that our team has helped them.'
