Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful, well-run care home for my father, surrounded by staff who always go the extra mile to look after him. He regularly participates in activities which staff arrange for the residents, and he always loves these, as the smiles clearly show. The staff are patient and caring, the food is good,
the home is always clean and, importantly, he is always treated with dignity and respect. And, importantly for family members, communication with me is strong - I always receive a phone call or email if I need to be made aware of something. I'm so pleased that we managed to secure a place at Park View - knowing that my father is happy and well cared for is so important to me, and I'm so grateful to all the staff for everything that they do.

Review from Sarah T (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved to Park View earlier this year following a period in hospital. Leaving her home and moving into care was a stressful time for Mum and our family, but from day one the Park View Team did everything possible to help Mum settle and feel happy.
Her room is bright and modern, with all the facilities
she could need, together with a fabulous view of the gardens and park beyond. The facilities team helped put up some of Mum's pictures etc to make the room feel like home.
We were immediately impressed at the efforts Park View make to engage residents in activities they will enjoy. They took time to understand what Mum likes and they provided a weekly view of planned activities.
Park View take care of all Mum's medicines, appointments, arranges chiropody visits, laundry and provides tasty and varied meals.
The best part about Mum living at Park View is that she has constant company and care, from a well-managed team of carers, who can't do enough to help Mum throughout the day and night.

Our aunt has now been a resident at Park View for nearly 4 years and in that time, we have seen a lot of senior managers come and go. The current home manager's dedication has transformed the home in many ways. Her door is always open for any type of conversation and we are amazed at the trouble she
takes performing any task - small or large. Care staff and all staff are kind and respectful to both residents and family members. Our Aunt will always say; 'If you can't be in your own home, you couldn't be in a better place'. Long may this standard continue and we would like to say, 'many thanks to all staff'.

Review from Suzanne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Park View last September. We chose it partly because it is very near our house so we can pop in frequently to see him. But also because it was clean, modern and very pleasant and the staff were professional and very friendly. From day one, the manager has worked closely with us
to ensure my dad is receiving personalised, tailor-made care. We feel extremely open to approach her at any time with any concerns, thoughts or questions we have and these have always been received positively and acted upon immediately. My father has deteriorated in recent weeks with dementia, but they have monitored this closely and adapted things to make him as safe and comfortable as possible. He is always treated with care, warmth, patience and respect. The staff do a great job and are always friendly and jolly. We are very happy with the home and their efforts and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you for your kind words, we work hard to ensure that all our residents receive the best quality care and to see such a glowing review shows that we are making an impact and has made our day. I will be sure to pass on this positive feedback to the rest of the team at Parkview.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad moved into Park View in October, it's been a bit of a bumpy road for him. The staff at Parkview have really helped him and our family to settle. The staff are excellent and very friendly. Dad always looks clean and tidy. I love to receive messages and see the social media photos of my dad having
fun and adventures. Dad's key worker always goes above and beyond, also the office staff and management keep us informed and are very approachable. The activities team do an amazing job and takes him to some great places that Dad has not been to for years, or if ever.
The staff no matter what time of the day always have Dad's best interests at heart and I hope this may continue for many years as Dad may be the youngest resident at Parkview at the moment.
Please continue to keep up the good work and standards of care.

My husband is just finishing his first time here in respite care. He has dementia. The care he has received has been excellent. The staff are caring, well informed and empathetic. This man, who was reluctant at first to go into respite care, has enjoyed his time, he settled in very quickly and will

Mum was admitted to Park View in January 2024 and became a permanent resident in February.
This beautiful care home is amazing, I cannot speak highly enough about it.
The home manager is exceptional. She instantly puts you at ease at what is a very emotional and stressful time as well as taking the
time to explain everything in detail. When talking to her you never feel rushed or not listened to.
The staff are also fantastic. They treat Mum with such respect, dignity and patience.
The facilities at the home are also great. Mum's room and en-suite bathroom is a good size with everything she could possibly need. The home is spotlessly clean and the food is great. I haven't seen Mum eat so much in a long time!
I always feel very welcome when I visit, everyone is always happy and smiling and I feel comfortable enough to make myself a cup of coffee.
All in all Park View and the whole team are fantastic. You could not wish for a better place for your loved one.

Since my dad has been at Park View from October 2023, he has settled in quickly and is very comfortable. The home is very clean and welcoming.

Although my mother was only in residence for a short period before she passed away, she experienced high-quality care from all the staff involved.
The manager was always available to discuss details of her support needs and was always ready to try to meet her requirements.
The home is very clean and
tidy, with a friendly and helpful atmosphere throughout and is a welcoming environment for those needing care. I would recommend it to others seeking care for their loved ones.

My mother has dementia and has resided in Park View for the last 3 years. The manager's office door is always open to answer any concerns or questions. We have found Park View for the last 3 years to be of a high standard of care. The cleanliness and interior decor is 1st class. All the staff are exceptional

My mother spent the last twelve months of her life here. She was well cared for. She was always clean (as is Park View) and comfortable and really enjoyed her food. We were always kept well informed if Mum was ever poorly.
She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and we had a party for her at Park
View.
She passed away peacefully in Park View and the staff, plus the local community nurses, GP surgery were all so kind and supportive to Mum and her family and friends.

My sister has been a resident at Park View for 18 months. The staff here are friendly, caring and welcoming and I particularly appreciate the fact that I can visit without a prior appointment.
When I was recently unable to take my sister to a medical appointment, she was accompanied by a carer who
knew her well which was important to her. When I saw my sister today she had just enjoyed a visit from local school pupils who had chatted with her in her room. Staff are aware of my sister’s difficulties and are considerate of her needs. She often needs encouragement to join in activities and I commend the staff for their patience, sensitivity and good humour.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was diagnosed with dementia and has been there since February 2023 and has been quite challenging at times.
The manager's office door is always open and management has always been there to answer any concerns that I may have.
My mum is generally happy and just wants someone to talk to, so
I try to visit most days therefore I feel that I have a good overview of the floor that my mum is on.
The cleanliness is first class even the cleaning staff interact with the residents, the food is good and my mum seems to enjoy her meals.
I took time to choose a care home for my mum, as I have looked after her for 5 years myself and I know her needs. I feel that Park View are like our extended family, all the day staff are lovely, caring and happy to fulfil request whenever possible for example food likes and dislikes, coffee, tea, milkshakes and juice are served throughout the day.
Mum's room is spacious and very clean she has her own TV and bathroom.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Park View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 36 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 4.813 for Park View is calculated as follows: ( (389 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 433 Ratings = 4.813
  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 is based on 36 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 36 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.

One of my proudest achievements is being part of the world record-breaking event for the world’s oldest choir, a Guinness World Record! While I love to sing (even if I’m not the best at it), I know it brings joy to others. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, walking the dogs, and painting.
