The staff are friendly and go out of their way to be helpful in every way !!!
My friend has settled in really quickly, and I do feel that this is due to the way the staff treat their residents here. I have visited several nursing/ care homes and none have ever come anywhere near to this place. It's such a relief to know that at last my friend is getting the care he needs and deserves. Fully recommend this lovely home.
Dear Janet R, thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate them and it is our aim to provide all we can for our residents with dignity and compassion. Do keep in touch should you need anything or have any questions.
My husband has been several months at Seaview, and we are happy to say he is very well cared for, with kindness, and thoughtful staff help him be aware, with conversation, and humour, as well as a professional handling of his needs. No matter who is on duty there is uniform kindness shown to my husband and ourselves when visiting. Manager, Carolyn Volker, from the first, has been available, and listens to any thoughts we have about new situations as they arise, and you never have to wonder who to approach, in any event.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we do want to make sure our residents and their loved ones, feel at home here at Seaview and receive the best care we can offer. Do keep in touch and let us know if you need anything.

The staff at this nursing home are so warm, cheerful and friendly. The really take care of the residents and my father. My father has many activities from painting, to picnics in their gardens. He enjoys sitting in their home cinema room and watching the big screen. He is always happy and smiley. Good communication from the nursing home too. It's a lovely atmosphere in a beautiful building and the care providers are fantastic.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we do aim to have a good friendly welcoming and caring environment and I am glad you think we are achieving this. I will relay your comments to our staff as I know they will appreciate this. Thank you once more do let us know if you need anything.

Dear RJ, thank you so much for your kind response, we aim to provide the best care we can for our residents and your review and kind words are very much appreciated. Thank you.
At the moment it is the condition of the dining room furniture chairs and tables need some TLC as most are wobbly. and don't feel safe.as most residence are unstable on their feet and hold on to the furniture.
Thank you for the feedback which we value a lot. We will look in to the points you mentioned as a matter of urgency. We will continue to monitor the safety of residents. Thank you again for your remarks.
They go above and beyond to care for my uncle, always informing of progress and set backs.. always aporoachable and helpful.
Thank you so much, looking after all of our residents is our main focus and we are glad you are happy with the service.
Their standard of care is excellent. All the staff from the management down have a very positive attitude and are always courteous.
Dear ED, Thank you for the kind words. We try our best to make our residents comfortable and family feel assured on a daily basis. Your review makes a lot of difference to the staff team. Thank you, again!
Since a change of management, the welcome and atmosphere at the home has greatly improved, and it smells clean. Staff are helpful and friendly. The two gentlemen I visit, who both have considerable needs, are well cared -for and appreciate the attention they receive. I can see that bedrooms which were dull are gradually being cheered up with pictures etc. Communication with the home ( by phone, in my case) is prompt and efficient. I understand that the food is good: it certainly looks and smells nice! Special occasions and events are marked with celebrations for all to enjoy, and visitors are invited to attend.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are working tirelessly to improve life at Seaview. Please let us know anytime you feel something needs to be looked at. We are open to suggestions and want to do our best!
My mother who was suffering wth late stage dementia was admitted to Seaview in late October last year when my father who was her carer was also diagnosed with cognitive impairment and admitted to hospital and then a care home himself. Sadly my mother passed away on the 8th of June but I have nothing but praise and thanks for all the staff who cared and looked after her during her time at Seaview they made her more comfortable.
I cannot thank all the care staff for the care, kindness and dignity they showed my mum every day she was there nothing was to much for them, a big thank you for the nurse and carer who was with mum when she passed they were fantastic so kind and respectful looked after us as well
I wanted to express my gratitude to all the staff who were on duty on 8.2.25; the day our mum died. Mum had been increasingly poorly, and on chat day it was clear things weren't good. My sisters and I were in with Mum. The nurse was in touch with the Dr. and kept us informed. The carers kept coming in to check on Mum and bring as much-needed tea. We were given the space to be with Mam during her feral hours, but know support was there id needed. When Mum died the staff continued to treat her with kindness and dignity; and us with hugs, kind words and compassion.
Each time I visit my Nan the staff have gone above and beyond the care and attention they give her is superb. We recently celebrated her birthday at Seaview Nursing Home and the staff could not have been kinder or lovelier, they made space for us in the dining room, organised tea and coffee and a cake which included a mini cake for the two other family members attending. They were on hand when we needed letting in and out, all in all we can't thank them enough.
Thank you kindly for the lovely feedback. We do try and make it a home from home and it's lovely to see you all visit so often.
What a truly wonderful afternoon we were given by the staff at Seaview Nursing Home for our mothers birthday, 24 family members join mum for her birthday celebrations in the dining room. The staff had decorated the room with balloons and moves tables and decorated them and it all looked beautiful. Coffee and tea was provided an incredible birthday cake was made for us, the cake looked and tasted beautiful. We were so thankful at how all very kind and friendly staff went so above and beyond to give us and mum the most perfect afternoon. We cannot thank you all enough.
Thank you so much for your review, I will share this with the team. It's a pleasure to look after your mother and always a joy when you and your family join in our events.
My father is on end-of-life care here. Very pleased with the care my Father is receiving. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Management and reception are very helpful also. I would definitely recommend the nursing home to others and future relatives.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will share this with our team. Thank you for letting your dad and yourself be part of the Seaview family. He is a joy to be around.
My father has been here for a few years now. Friendly staff and the management is very approachable, have solve any issues that have come up since my father arrived. Have gone beyond to make him feel comfortable. They really helped with my father attending my wedding. Great team, lovely receptionist. My father staying here gives me great peace of mind. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the feedback. It's been a pleasure looking after your father, he is so charismatic and funny. I will share your kind words with the staff.
Mum chooses not to eat in the restaurant so her meals are kept warm under a heat lamp and often dry and unappetising by the time it gets to her (maybe they can look at this procedure). The building itself is very tired and dated and would benefit from a deep clean. Mum is in a very small room resembling a corridor and has been promised on numerous occasions, a larger more comfortable room (as boasted on their websites), but it has been 5 months now and she remains in the room she was admitted into. This does upset her a bit with what she calls ‘false promises’.
I’m not sure about the facilities as Mum’s a bit of a loner. It would be nice if a physio visited weekly and helped with exercise as she is getting terrible muscle wasting. I think this should be a mandatory part of the care package as mum literally walks on average 100 steps a day. But I guess that the most important thing is that mum is comfortable and the staff make her feel welcome.
I am glad to hear that you feel the care your mum receives is excellent and that the staff have made her feel welcomed and comfortable. I will discuss with the kitchen team an alternative to your mums eating pattern and and choice. The building itself was built in 1897 and can take a lot to...
I was very impressed with my visit. No issues at this nursing home. Good on all the staff I saw.
Thank you kindly for your feedback. The client is a pleasure to look after, it was lovely to see you are pleased with the standard of care we are providing for him. I will share your feedback with the staff.
He is being cared for so well, and the staff/patient ratio is excellent. The staff are caring, sensitive and attentive.
My parents had their 66th wedding anniversary on the weekend, and we had arranged to bring Dad home to be with Mum on their special day, but Dad wasn’t well enough. The staff saved the day by making a beautiful table for us in the lounge, complete with Buck’s Fizz; we were so touched, and we had a very special family occasion to remember. Thank you, Seaview.
We appreciate your kind feedback.
It's a pleasure to look after your father.
I will share your feedback with the staff.
