Have noticed that the staff are busy and feel would be beneficial to have a few staff that float about to assist any resident that require the toilet - can be done - without having to go looking for staff to take a resident to the toilet.
Staff that seem to be willing to do extra feel some kind of
bonus be given to them to incentive care and staff feel valued and appreciated. Not easy being a carer and being seen I feel empowers staff so that their wellbeing is noticed and appreciation given.

My father was a resident of Purley View Nursing Home for about 7 weeks, from the beginning of November 2023 to late December, when he passed away. Unfortunately, Dad was bed-bound, so was not able to take advantage of the activities on offer at the home, but we found the staff to be kind and attentive,
trying their best to make sure that he was comfortable and not in pain. We felt that Dad was safe and well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Purley View Nursing Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am Power of Attorney for a close friend at Purley View Nursing Home. I am so impressed with this home because there are so many staff to look after the residents and the activities are very good there. My friend has been here for several years now. Her skin is so much better than it was when she
arrived. She is beautifully taken care of and she is much calmer now thanks to the excellent level of care the staff provide. The home has a lovely atmosphere, it is very clean and bright and the manager is excellent and a pleasure to talk to because he knows the residents well. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident of Purley View Nursing Home from March '22 until she passed away in February '23. During this period, she was extremely well looked after by the nursing staff, who were so caring and loving towards her. The home itself is bright and clean, and the room Mum resided in was
more than adequate, although Mum spent most of the day in the resident's lounge. Despite Mum having many issues with Epilepsy, Dementia and Alzheimer's, she was always cheerful when we visited her, and there were plenty of activities for the residents to participate in. In her final days, the care by the home's nursing staff and the hospice was so reassuring that she was well looked after and did not suffer. Thank you to all the staff who cared so much for Mum.

The home may look old on the outside but the care my mum receives is exemplary. At each visit, she always looks well looked after. The home is clean, tidy with no bad odours. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The home has a friendly atmosphere and is nice to be in. Never rushed to leave
when visiting, always a pleasure to go.

This nursing home gave amazing care. The patients were always clean and this stood out to us as a family. The staff were kind and treated residents like family. Nothing was ever too much for them. The home is being updated which is good but what we looked out for was the care our mum got and she certainly
got that. A very clean home. Well done Purley View!

I am very happy with my husband's care at Purley View. He is very well looked after by very caring staff. He is always happy when I speak to him and always looking forward to his meals which he enjoys very much. The family and myself can now visit him for 30 minutes outside and he really enjoyed seeing
us again and he looked very well.

All the staff at Purley View are exceptional and there appears to be a very low turnover of staff. The nurses are extremely caring and took great care of my dad especially during lockdown and kept us informed.
The food is really good quality and caters to the resident's needs. The home is always very
clean. The outside area could do with updating.

Our experience with Purley View has been very good and I doubt it is possible to get better care. The rooms and their decor could be improved (I understand this is in hand). The care of the residents is excellent. The manager is very approachable and knows and understands the needs of his residents.
The nursing staff is excellent and the care staff very committed to their duties. Food is outstanding, prepared by a chef with long experience and he has been award two "outstanding awards". I was more than satisfied with the care my sister was given and would never have put her anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident there for just over a year. The staff were kind, professional and attentive to her needs. They kept me well informed with regard to problems with her health. I was so grateful they were able to provide full nursing care meaning she was saved from many unnecessary trips to A&E
when she was unwell. She had complex health issues as well as Alzheimer’s and they dealt with her very well. The food was excellent, home-cooked and she enjoyed it. For birthdays they always made a fuss of the resident with a birthday cake shared between everyone. They always made my family and I feel very welcome.

Staff have looked after my dad like he was their own. Residents are encouraged to socialise safely as many have reduced mobility like my dad. Excellent care from laundry to manager. I am telephoned regularly for any medication changes or issues with my dad - which I greatly appreciate as I am a 2-hour
drive away. The family are included at every stage of Dad's care.

My mother was a resident at Purley View for just over two years. The care and attention she received was of the highest standard. When she became very ill towards the end of her life, the staff made her as comfortable as possible and she passed peacefully in a loving and caring environment.
In my opinion,
Purley View is one of the best care homes in Croydon.

I cannot express my appreciation of the care and love shown to my sister. Her condition was so hard to look after but she was always clean, comfortable and I never once went into her room and smelt a nasty smell. It was a pleasant and bright room and the food better than I have had in a restaurant.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.058)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.058) out of 10 for Purley View Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.170 for Purley View Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.17
  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 3.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Purley View Nursing Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.513
  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.
