When my nan first went into Church View I was disappointed that each time I went in to see her she didn't have her own clothes on (yet she has plenty of clothes), her nails were full of faeces and they never put her hearing aid in. However, now that there is a new manager the personal care has improved and I am happy.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry that there were initially some concerns with your nan's care but pleased to read that the manager and her team have now made those improvements.
Dad has been a resident of Church View for 2 years now and is extremely happy and comfortable. He loves the staff and always sings their praises often stating nothing is too much trouble for them. The staff have been outstanding throughout the COVID crisis.

My father-in-law has been in church view for three years. He can be very difficult due to his illness, however, the staff show so much care and compassion and even manage to make him smile. The food is fabulous and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Very highly recommended.

When I visit I get a friendly greeting from whoever opens the door. I am made to feel welcome. There is a positive atmosphere around Church View. On a screen, you can see activities that take place. From my visits, Church View seems a happy place.

A few weeks later he got much worse and I couldn't look after him anymore. I have no hesitation in choosing Church View for his permanent stay.

Good morning, thank you for your feedback during your Fathers stay at Church View. I'm delighted you and your Father were very happy with the facilities and care within the home.

All the staff have been lovely and friendly to me. I have the utmost respect for them as they are so patient and kind to my mother. I could not do their job and think they deserve to be paid more. Staff at the care home are specialised in dementia care and these skills are noticed by me. I know another resident in the home so it is good to pop in and see her too. Very friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it for others.
Have found the management extremely helpful. All questions answered. Every one of the staff very friendly on visiting. I find the home has a very nice environment.

My mother has recently become a resident and during this traumatic time, the care home staff have been wonderful. They are always very friendly and welcoming and the care my mother is getting is second to none. We are so happy to have discovered this particular care home. As well as the professionalism and kindness of the staff, the actual premises is so clean, warm and secure. We feel quite content in the knowledge that my mother is getting the best possible care and that she is now in a safe environment under the watchful care of the lovely staff.
Thank you for your very positive review; our team strive to ensure high standards of care to our residents and their relatives at all times.

My mam has been in Church View for 4 1/2 years. She has dementia. My experience at Church View, where I visit most days is always an upbeat and happy one. The girls are always willing to do what is asked of them to keep my mam happy. Mam's room is always clean and tidy and the recent refurbishment is fabulous. The manager is always asking if everything is Ok and the office staff are efficient and friendly. Altogether this is a lovely care home.
Thank you for your positive review and kind comments. I note your comments regarding activities, we are currently developing an activity program in conjunction with our residents
The care home has always been well maintained and probably the best in the area.

Staff are always pleasant and friendly. Nothing seems to be too much trouble if we ask for anything. Mum seems to be very well cared for. All the staff acknowledge Mum and always say hello to her as she passes them. Nice room, kept clean. Mum is always clean and dressed when my sister and I visit.

Mam has been in Church View 3 and a half years. She is looked after well, any issues we have needed addressing are always sorted. As a family, we know mam is safe and clean in a professional environment.
