I have been visiting my mother for the last 4 months and have always found the staff and management cannot do enough. Nothing is too much trouble. So I know that when I leave her after a visit that she is comfortable and safe with a professional team. I always look forward to my next visit.

My aunt was only with you for seven weeks but the care and dignity given was exemplary from the receptionist right through to the manager, including the handyman and domestics. I felt very comfortable leaving my loved one at Park View. Her final days went as well as they could, and the care and compassion and dignity displayed to both myself and my aunt could not be more comforting. Every need was met timely and courteously
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We're truly sorry for your loss and are honoured to have supported your aunt during her time with us. It means a great deal to hear that you felt comforted and reassured by the care, compassion, and dignity shown by our entire team. Your feedback will be shared with everyone at Park View.
My wife was having a poor experience finding other residents in her room when she returned from activities. This was a set back to her well being as she had only recently been taking part in the fantastic and varied activities provided. This was quickly resolved by trusting her with her own door...
This illustrates the kindness and helpfulness that we have been shown since my wife moved in to the dementia unit in January.
Every member of staff (and I really mean every) we have ever come into contact with has shown us nothing but kindness.

My mum has only been in Park View Care Centre for 6 weeks. She was staying in a home before that for three years. The place itself is very nicely laid out with its own bistro where you can go have coffee, cakes and even a glass of wine. I have a feeling with the place when visiting that it has a...
My mum has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's and does not walk now so a lot of care is needed and I believe she is getting that care.

My mother was put onto end of life pathway in January. The staff thoroughly explained what this meant. Over the next few weeks all of the staff on oak helped my mum, caring for her kindly and making sure she was comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum was offered her favourite food to tempt her to eat. She has hand massages to relax her and staff went into her room more regularly to offer any help or support she wanted. It was the best care given kindly and with compassion.
I always feel welcome as a visitor! The staff are always polite and helpful to me. My friend's mother is always clean and the bed and room is clean and neat. Thank you.

Bringing back those special moments. I absolutely love the Bistro, you feel so at home and my uncle feels like he's been out for the day! "Always a lovely tidy home."
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your visits feel warm, welcoming, and full of those special moments that matter most. It's wonderful to know the Bistro adds to that homely, social feel-and that your uncle enjoys it too! Your kind words mean a great deal to our team and will be proudly shared with everyone.

I am pleased to give a favourable review of the care my wife receives. She is deteriorating with dementia, but is quite settled and at home in her environment. This tells me that her carers are looking after her well, otherwise she would be distressed which is not the case. I can leave her after my visits with peace of mind knowing that she is receiving the care she needs. At times it is demanding for the carers to deal with residents who have mental difficulties, I have witnessed how well the staff manage situations that can arise among the residents. So, I am pleased to give a five star rating on behalf of myself and my family who are all in agreement with my review.

My mother has been resident at Park View Care Centre since November 2022. The manager is very approachable and indeed encourages residents and relatives to let him know if if there are any problems. He is full of ideas and initiatives to make life in the home as pleasant as possible. All staff are caring, pleasant and friendly. We visit regularly, usually unannounced and always find mum to be clean, her room spotless and the staff knowledgeable and helpful. There is a very active team organising entertainment who are excellent at encouraging residents to join in.

I never cease to be amazed by the kindness and patience of the carers at Park View Care Centre. Six months of caring by myself for my wife exhausted me. These ladies do it day after day. Nothing seems to faze them, incontinence, ingratitude, they take it in their stride. We owe them a big debt of gratitude for shouldering the burden.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. We're truly touched by your appreciation and are honoured to care for your wife. Our team works with compassion and dedication every day, and it means the world to know their kindness and patience have made such a difference. Your gratitude will be deeply appreciated by everyone at Park View Care Centre.
I am very happy with the care that my Mother receives at Park View Care Centre. The staff are very kind to her and look after her well. I am informed and consulted about her care. I am able to discuss any concerns I have with the staff and they have always been helpful, professional and friendly.

My husband has Parkinson's dementia and is only 59. The home is not perfect but they try their best at all times. I feel that my husband is safe and well looked after in a calm, very clean environment. Thank you team.

I am very pleased with the care home: my sister is very happy there. Plenty of entertainment, hairdressers and plenty to do to keep her entertained. It is spotlessly clean and the staff are brilliant. We go in any time of the day, which is great for us.

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...
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.

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.
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...
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.

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.
What a beautiful place. I was so worried about my nan going into a home. It's a scary process and the staff made it all so easy. What a beautiful place. So much to do and so much food. The staff are amazing too. I can't fault it.

Over the years...
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!
