All staff are very friendly, caring, approachable, Mum's needs and care have been met and accommodated at all times. Staff have been re-assuring and emphathetic towards mum when she has been emotional and missing her family. I was very impressed with mum's care plan, put together by the manager, it was very thorough and in depth, and very reassuring for me, as her daughter, that mum's best interests and well being have been recognised

After caring for my aunt at her home, for 21 months, her daughter had to use the respite due to her 'end of lie' situation, after her brother was given 3 months to live. So my aunt was brought into Orchard Views within 2 hours of applying. From walking through the door we were made so welcome, and things explained to us, my aunt was included immediately and asked of her preferences, her likes and dislikes. It was such a fast transaction my cousin and I were as if we were in a dream. Everyone was so kind and helpful we left feeling reassured and feel more confident of the thoughtful, kind staff on every visit. My aunt is probably staying permanently in this great place.

The home itself has undergone some renovations and continues this, but everything that has been done so far mirrors a beautiful and warm environment for the residents. The home itself provides top notch food, entertainment and puts its residents front and foremost.
As a relative visiting my uncle, it is reassuring and brings me happiness that he is settled in his new environment.
The staff go above and beyond ensuring that every resident is treated with kindness, compassion and respect that they deserve.

Happy memories of the time my brother was a resident at Orchard Views. My brother was very well cared for and was extremely happy and settled. All the staff were wonderful and cared in such a way that is really did make a vast difference to the quality of life not just to my brother, but to every resident. We could rely on the best of care at all times and certainly the reassurance made our lives better as well as knowing the best of care was second to none.

Manager Lindsey has gone above and beyond when contacting me about my Auntie when she was in hospital and I feel that the staff really do care.

After a day I have decided I feel so looked after, I want to stay! Jean (the chef) does wonderful home cooking too, and Lindsay has been so caring and kind. Thank you to Lindsay and the carers, etc.

I cannot thank Lindsay (Home Manager) and her staff enough. Such a difficult decision to put my dad into care, but Lindsay was absolutely AMAZING from the very first phone call to me. She came out immediately to dad's house to meet him and put him @ ease. He was at a critical point, it was very emotional but Lindsay showed such calmness, care, utmost concern + empathy. It made the transition for dad (& me) so much easier. I have total confidence in Lindsay + her staff. Thank you.
Residents are well cared for and respected. Activities are plentiful and varied

I visited Orchard Views on Thursday last week when collecting my brother from respite care then again this morning when dropping him off for this weeks respite. My brother,his wife and myself were greeted by the staff and manager. The staff were so friendly with me took the time to have a chat and answer my questions. My brother was greeted by the staff like he was a member of their family. This kind touch reassured me that he is well cared for at Orchard Views. The smile on his face spoke volumes, another indication to me that he's happy there. Staff took the time to chat to my sister in law and actively listed to her feedback from the weekend at home. The unit looked beautiful, nicely decorated in relaxing tones with comfortable furnishings. As we were leaving my brother was tucking in to his coffee and biscuits with a beaming smile. Such a relief for me to know he's happy and well cared for.
I went to visit a friend of mine a couple of times both the two visits i was met by members of the staff who were polite and friendly They showed me round the round the complex which I thought was nice and clean I can recommend the Orchard View to anybody and be assured they'll be very pleased

We didn't make an appointment, were greeted by the home manager who was welcoming and gave us all the information we needed. The atmosphere in the home is lovely, the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Staff always offer you a drink and have been offered a meal on occasions. The residents appear happy and well cared for. The food is home cooked and looks delicious.

The food is wonderful and all home made, Dad particularly enjoys the puddings!!
I'm very happy to say that Dad has settled in really well which was my main concern.
I would not hesitate in recommending Orchard Views

I have worked in care since 2016. I began as a carer and soon developed a passion for the role. Having a strong work ethic and dedication I developed my skills and quickly rose through the hierarchy to management level.It is an honour to care for people and provide a high quality service.
I am now the manager of Orchard Views and it is a privilege to be part of this community.
I am very proud to have a team that is as passionate as myself in delivering high quality care.
I hold a Psychology BSc (Hons) from the University of Leeds and before entering care I worked at the Academic Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Leeds General Infirmary. I conducted several research projects which had a focus on falls prevention in older adults and I am very proud that two of those projects were published.
This previous role provided me with knowledge and skills that incorporate well into the role of a care manager.

My name is Sam and I’m proud to be working as a Senior Carer on days here at Orchard Views. I first joined the team in 2019 after gaining valuable experience as a community carer, and it’s been a real privilege to grow within the home over the past few years.
In addition to my senior care duties, I’m also the Moving and Handling Facilitator, which means I support the team with safe, effective practices to ensure the well-being of both residents and staff. I’m always happy to offer guidance or refreshers if anyone needs support in this area.
It’s really important to me that residents feel respected, comfortable, and well cared for—and that staff feel confident and supported in their roles.

My name is Kay, and I began working in care in 2021. Since then, I’ve gained a great deal of experience supporting older adults, and it’s become a role I truly cherish. I approach my work with kindness, patience and empathy, always taking the time to understand each person’s needs and the little things that matter to them. Being able to offer comfort, reassurance and companionship is something I value deeply, and I’m committed to helping residents feel safe, respected and uplifted each day. It’s a privilege to be part of their lives, and I strive to make every moment we share feel warm, meaningful, and genuinely cared for.

My name is Jean, and I have had the privilege of working here as the Head Chef for the past 27 years. Throughout my time here, I have dedicated myself to providing nutritious, delicious, and comforting meals for our residents. Over the years, I’ve come to know many of our residents personally, learning their individual preferences and dietary needs, which allows me to create menus that not only meet nutritional guidelines but also bring a bit of joy to their day.
For me, cooking isn’t just about food — it’s about care, comfort, and creating a sense of home. I take great pride in working closely with our care team, dietitians, and families to ensure that every meal supports the health and well-being of those we serve. After nearly three decades, this kitchen has become my second home, and it’s an honour to play a part in the daily lives of our residents.

My role involves making sure the home is clean, tidy, and comfortable for everyone living and working here. I take great care in my work and always aim to help maintain high standards throughout the home.

My name is Alan, and I’ve been the Maintenance Man here for the past three years. My role is to make sure that our home is always safe, comfortable, and well-maintained for our residents and staff. From keeping the heating running smoothly in the winter to making sure every lightbulb works and every handrail is secure, I take great pride in looking after the building so that everyone can feel at home.
Even though I work mostly behind the scenes, I enjoy getting to know the residents and making sure they feel comfortable raising any concerns, big or small. For me, it's not just about fixing things — it’s about creating a safe, pleasant environment where residents can relax and enjoy their day-to-day life without worry.
