My father was admitted on the 2nd Feb 2026. We always promised him we would never put him in a home but as soon as we saw the Park View Care Centre and met the staff we immediately knew it was the right thing to do to place him with you. Sadly he was only with you for just over 2 weeks until he passed away but the love, care and respect you showed him was amazing. We can not thank you enough and anyone in the same position as us with a relative's nursing care should have no reservations in putting them into your care.
Thank you for your kind review, we truly appreciate you sharing this.
We are very grateful for your kind words and are pleased to hear that you felt supported during your time with us and that the team were supportive to you and the family during this tough time
I visit my husband on a regular basis and always find the care that is being given to be first-class.

My wife was admitted for respite care and we were really struggling on how to cope with everything and leaving her in a new environment and not knowing anyone. I can honestly say that all the staff have been amazing and so caring towards my wife and helped her settle in really well. The manager has been excellent at keeping us informed and helping us on such a difficult journey. He is always present on the unit and knows his residents really well. The activity staff are brilliant, organising games, music and crafts. Everyone from the catering staff, housekeeping, carers, admin team, maintenance men, and nurses are always cheerful and helpful. A special mention to the lady on reception who is always brilliant and cheerful.
Thank you for your kind and heartfelt review. We're so pleased to hear that your wife settled in well and that the team were able to support you both during such a difficult time. Your lovely words about the manager and the whole team, including reception and activities, mean a great deal and will be warmly shared with everyone.
We were residents for two weeks' respite. The overall experience was good. The staff including management was excellent. The paperwork associated with the stay was complicated.

Thank you for your kind and heartfelt review. We're honoured to have supported your father-in-law during his time with us. Your special thanks to the nursing team will mean a great deal, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
My beautiful Mum with dementia was admitted to Park View in January for respite care and we didn't know how we would be able to walk away leaving her there and even walking through the door. I spoke to the Manager and he was absolutely amazing reassuring me that my mum would be safe and extremely...
I cannot praise him enough and have seen how he is constantly out and about around the unit making sure that the highest standard of care is maintained at all times, observing the staff and getting to know all the residents.I know that my mum has settled in really well and loves seeing him. The wonderful receptionist has been so caring and helpful to us all. Likewise all the activity and entertainment team are brilliant, the carers and housekeeping team are so cheerful and caring towards all the clients too.

My mother was at Park View for over 4 years. Initially, the experience was not so good, and she had several falls, had to go to A&E, and this set her back. Management at the time was weak, but she was well cared for by the staff. There was a subsequent high turnover in the manager position, but this stabilised and the current post holder is doing an excellent job. Throughout my mum's stay, the staff have been kind and loving. At the end, the experience was exceptional, and the kindness and support I received was overwhelming.

We are so pleased that we chose Park View Care Home for our brother's care. All of the staff are caring and seem to remember everyone's name. He always seemed to be very happy there, which was such a relief to us as a family. When he was on end-of-life care, we stayed with him constantly with lots of family visiting.

My wife has been a resident at Park View Care Centre for over a year. I am very pleased with the care and attention she has received in that time. The management, nursing and caring staff are very friendly and keep her amused. The food is excellent, just like home-cooked. Her room is regularly cleaned and well-maintained. The room overlooks the garden, so she is able to watch the birds and squirrels foraging in the garden.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. We're so pleased to hear that your wife has been happy and well cared for, and that you've been pleased with the support from our team. It's lovely to know she enjoys the food, activities, and her garden view-your feedback means a great deal to everyone at Park View Care Centre.

I cannot praise the staff enough at Ashford Park View Care Home. From the manager down to maintenance, cooks, cleaners, carers, office staff and entertainment crew, they all work so hard to make it a lovely home for the residents. My mother-in-law was happy there from the time she walked in the door. Excellently run, and bright and airy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how valued and supported you and your mother-in-law felt with us. Your kind words about the entire team-from management to maintenance, catering, care, and activities-mean a great deal and truly reflect the teamwork that goes into creating a warm, happy home.

The improvement in my brother's mental and emotional wellbeing whilst at the centre was a joy to see. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it here - definitely a 'home that cares' rather than just a care home.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear how much your brother has benefitted from his time at the home and that you've felt supported by our caring and dedicated team. Your kind words about the manager's leadership and the positive environment mean a great deal and will be shared with everyone here.
Most staff are great and the atmosphere is excellent. There is room for some improvement in the attitude and approach of some members of staff. My needs are very specific and initially some staff struggled - once they listened to me and followed my instructions things improved greatly.

With over 22 years of experience working in social care, Karen became a valued member of the Park View family when she join in 2016.
Over the years her role has changed and every role has had different things which Karen enjoys. 'A part of my role which I like is setting families minds at rest and that they have done what is best for a relative. The guilt people feel at placing loved ones in care can be huge! 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.'
Karen is also proud to be part of team who respect and care for each other.
When she is not at work Karen enjoys reading, she also loves ABBA and dancing. Most importantly, Karen loves spending time with her grand children who keep her very busy!
