Review from Gabrielle C (Wife of Resident) published on 16 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband moved in on 30th July 2024. He got a decent size room with view of trees and park, which he loves. The staff are very professional and kind. I had very good contacts with the management. So far, the food has been satisfactory with some good days. My husband looks happy when I visit. He is
kept clean and showered.
The frustrating part is the relationship with the surgery - nobody ever knows when the doctor is in. But overall, it has been a very positive experience.
Reply from Abigail Draper, Customer Relations Team at Park View Care Centre

Thank you for your kind and positive review. We will ensure we will pass this onto our great team at Park View who are committed to continuously improving the service we provide our residents and their families. We take on board your frustration with communication between us and our supportive surgery and we are working with them to ensure that the service they provide us is effective at all times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Park View for around 12 weeks. I found the home to be perfect in every way. All staff were always helpful, and above all, respectful at all times. Unfortunately, Mother died in Park View from her illness, but I cannot imagine her being more comfortable and cared for in any
other environment.
I really cannot thank the staff and carers enough for making a very difficult time as easy to cope with as possible.
I would highly recommend this home.

Staff have been so amazing looking after my nan. She was made so comfortable in her last few weeks and was provided amazing care.
Two members of staff in particular were so amazing in explaining and providing support for all the family. At the end they both were upset and cried which showed my family
what this job really means to them. They are valuable to this care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan has only been here a short period of time but already I can see an improvement in her health. At present, she is not safe to return home. This is tough on the family as we want to care for her at home but with work and family commitments it was proving difficult.
Park View responded very quickly
to the request of assessing my nan and she was admitted to Park View the following day. All the staff at Park View have been very welcoming. The home is clean and tidy. The room is light and airy. Nan was originally in a room by the garden, the gentleman opposite her occasionally shouted out and this caused Nan to get upset. The home recognised this and moved her to a different room where it was quieter. Nan has been allowed to have her home comforts brought in. Family are allowed to take her out for the day which is very comforting for my family and my nan. At times when Nan has got upset when we are not there staff have reassured her. Nan is being well looked after.

Thank you for the positive feedback regarding Nan's care at Parkview Care Centre. The care team take tremendous pride in ensuring all residents are cared for according to their care needs.

Second time using Park View and my Dad seemed very settled, engaged and well looked after. He has dementia and is very isolated at home, but he had constant interaction with other residents and was able to sit outside in the sunshine which is his favourite pastime.

Dear Clare, thank you for your kind review and for choosing Park View once again. It's wonderful that your dad feels well cared for and can have constant interaction with other residents.

My wife, who suffers with late-stage Dementia, was transferred from Hawkinge House to Park View Ashford, after an assessment. From the very start, the manager was very welcoming and reassuring. She introduced me to the staff and nurses who are tasked with my wife's care. I have been very impressed with
all the staff and their willingness to help together with kindness toward the residents.

My mother has been in the care home for over 4 years. All the staff have been caring and supportive of my mother's needs and giving family support. Recently, circumstances have changed with my mother's health which has deteriorated and I appreciate all the help and support given by all members of staff
from the kitchen to the general manager. I am confident that when I am not at the home, which I visit frequently, my mum is in good hands and treated like family.

Dear Denise, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are truly touched by your kind words.

We understand how difficult it can be when a loved one's health changes and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Mum has been a resident at Park View since January 2024. The home is always clean and tidy with a very welcoming feel. I have nothing but praise for all the staff. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, but most importantly, the care Mum has received is outstanding. There are lots of activities to keep
residents occupied. Events like Valentine's, Afternoon Tea and Mother's Day lunch allow families to still celebrate together. I am so pleased I chose Park View, as it is lovely to have peace of mind and to see Mum happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Park View Care Centre.

Staff are friendly and helpful, the home has regular entertainment, food is varied and of a good quality. I feel the home is really trying to improve things for the residents and their families... but let’s be clear, this is a care home not a holiday camp and as far as my father's care is concerned
he is very well cared for, all his medical needs are met and we feel he is in a very safe environment.

The company is very helpful and kind and always welcome everyone, we know where we stand with our relative and always have the meeting and have a chat with the staff. Whenever we come to visit Grandad appears happy listening to his jazz music. The staff are approachable and welcoming, Grandad enjoys

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My biggest regret was having my partner go here. I can't tell you how many safeguarding was raised. I lost count where I raised so many. It was a nightmare from start to finish. No one knew what the other one was doing. One incident of many I came to visit and my partners eye was swollen and closed.
I went to find a nurse which said the doctor was still in the building and she would send him to have a look. When he came I said my partner has a eye infection he looked at my partner and said which eye. I just couldn't believe it my partners eye was very swollen you couldn't miss but see it. That was just one of many incidents, a lot which they couldn't explain especially when it came to bruising. If you're thinking of sending a loved one here please do your homework. I do know if I could have my choice again this place wouldn't be on my radar.

We are really sorry that you felt let down by the care and support your loved one received whilst living at Park View. We remain committed to delivering the highest standards of care to all our residents and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further so we can learn and improve.

My mum has been at Park View since October 2022. The care and attention she receives is outstanding and they look after her needs well. Unfortunately she is palliative; the receptionist and clinical lead nurse have kept me updated and informed throughout her time there, whether this is for admin or
for updates to her care plan. The carers and the cleaners are extremely hard working and nothing is too much bother for them. I couldn't ask for a better place for my mum to spend her final days.

Highly recommend anyone with loved ones to educate yourself before using any care home. Specifically the expected inspection report. In the meantime, the first tier care standards tribunal document can be located on a government website.
I would not recommend or trust with my loved ones. And at the
present time they have been legally prevented from any admissions without exceptional permission by the government agency CQC.
This review is made solely with the intent that those privately funded, are aware of the above. So they can be informed and show vigilance if required for their very vulnerable loved ones. These are all facts. I am sorry if it causes concern, but I’d rather service users / their loved ones know - I wish I had.

My nan has been a resident at Park View for over a year now. She has dementia and is on the dementia unit. I cannot thank the staff at Parkview enough for the fantastic care they give my nan. She was not coping at home, even with a full care package and family support. Since being at Park View, my nan
is so much happier. She has become much less agitated, and it feels like we have a little bit of Nan back. All the staff are amazing, they go above and beyond, not only for my nan but for us the family as well. Park View organise lots of activities and entertainment for the residents and my nan loves joining in. She also really enjoys the little trips out, especially when it involves going out for a cup of tea. The meals provided are of high quality and full of fresh vegetables, my nan loves them. My nan is very happy there and as a family we know she is getting the best of care.
Thank you to all the staff at Park View for becoming part of our family. You are all amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.549)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.549) out of 10 for Park View Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.549 for Park View Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (22 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 430 Ratings = 4.549
  2. 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 Care Centre is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
