Our mum has been at Seaview for a number of year, and we have always found her care to be excellent. Even as her condition has worsened, the staff have continued to look after her with kindness and grace. While it is unfortunate she needs the type of care she does, it's wonderful that Seaview are able to provide that care, and it gives us peace of mind.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 maintain and hopefully, you have seen the ongoing re-decoration and improvements. We have a housekeeping team of 3 a day and they complete deep cleaning along with resident of the day. As discussed via the phone you requested for your mum to be on a certain floor which is full the majority of the time and only have 1 other room that is similar to your mum's although smaller in size it has an amazing view of Coombs Valley. We have larger rooms available on the ground floor should you change your mind. I have spoken to the team lead on your mum's floor and she does decline to come to the communal areas, although we do try and encourage this is her preference and we have to respect that.
My first impression - nursing home was clean, tidy, and warm. Receptionist very friendly towards me, able to show me to the room of the person I was visiting. Room very tidy and clean. Drinks by bed. TV on. My friend was very happy with everything at the home. I also spoke to the manager and carer...
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.
