Forest View

After being in other care homes over the past 10 years it is a joy to be in one that really cares. The staff are attentive and supportive and nothing is too much trouble. It is the best home I have seen since mother went into care 10 years ago.

Everyone at Forest View was so kind to my mum in her final few months of what was a cruel and hideous illness. They helped make her feel comfortable and at home and recognised the things that were important to her, and that meant her family (myself and my daughter) felt 100% confident that she was being looked after as well and as compassionately as she could be. That means so much to us. Thank you.

There is not enough I can say about the way my wife was treated. I am more than satisfied. The staff were always helpful and kept me informed of how she was. A special thank you to the office and the team leaders who were always compassionate and cared for her and me.

Very happy with you looking after my wife. She says she is very happy with you.

Forest view has provided excellent care for my younger sister who has early onset dementia. She has been at the home for over a year now and the team at the home ave been kind, caring and proffesional. The home has kept the family informed as we all live a distance away and our visits can be limited.

My mother has been here for a few months now and the carers go out of their way to make all residents comfortable and happy. They have incredibly difficult roles and always remain happy. My mother has settled in well. Thank you!

The home has been amazing. They have made my mother's life worth living. The staff are absolutely amazing and have made sure my mother has settled in so well. They have all made every effort to ensure she feels welcome and not a burden to anybody and have given her a quality of life we could never have dreamed of. She has certainly improved under their care and supervision.

My dad has really settled in at Forest View, whenever we come to see him he seems happy and content, clean and tidy. He seems to enjoy the food and activities, most of the staff are happy to talk to you about any concerns you have and management is great.

My aunt was at Forest View for approx 6 years until she passed away in September 2024. My aunt always received good care and was always encouraged to join in with weekly social events. Given the option of attending religious sessions held in the home which she attended on occasion. The kitchen staff would respond to her requests for meal options. In the last few months, my aunt needed palliative care which Forest View agreed to carry out as they felt moving her on would not benefit her and care was excellent in this period. I would recommend Forest View for their care and excellent approach from management, care staff, cleaners, kitchen staff and activity staff, they made Aunty's time at Forest View a very good experience, thank you all so much.

The manager you can be very proud of all your staff. Thank you.

Me and my daughters are very pleased with Forest View Care Home. My husband can be difficult and demanding at times. The staff are very good and have encouraged him to participate in some of the activities, which he would not have done before he came to Forest View. We are kept informed on any health issues, which are treated promptly. The staff and carers are very friendly and the home is bright and clean.

The care home has offered a level of compassion, professionalism and dedication exhibited by the staff has been truly amazing. The warmth and genuine concern for the well-being of the residents have created a comforting and positive environment and has not gone unnoticed. We really can't thank the team enough.

Forest View has a nice ambience, and the staff are friendly, demonstrating admirably to residents the care in caring. Food is freshly prepared and of good quality, and the hygiene of the property and the residents is excellent.

Cannot fault in any way.

Always a pleasure to visit dad at Forest View. The atmosphere is cheery and welcoming, and the facilities are clean and fresh. We are made welcome by the staff and always offered refreshments. The acid test, however, is that dad, who now thinks of this as his home, is very happy, and has blossomed under his care there.

A big thank you to the whole team of staff for treating Mum with dignity, respect and kindness, it is very much appreciated for everything you do.

My husband has been to Forest View a few times for respite. The staff are warm and welcoming and extremely kind. He and I feel safe and treated with respect. There is always help and advice available from the staff and there are lots of activities to keep him busy. The manager always keeps in contact and keeps me updated with information.

We tell Mum she's going on holiday, and she enjoys the food and the companionship, it also does me the world of good when I know Mum is being looked after so well.

We wouldn't move mum to another care home.

She seems to need more help with her incontinence and is often left with no pads or underwear.
