A good standard care home with pleasant staff, especially those who have English as a second language. The recent improvement in activities is very welcome and the staff involved have made some great new ideas.
The increase in fees is unwelcome and charge for small items family meals is disappointing
considering what we already pay.

My dad has been in the unfortunate position to need full nursing care for the past 16 months, after leaving hospital. Once the care team have got familiar with my dad, the care and support he has received from all the staff cannot be faulted and his medical/personal needs are met to a very high standard.
My
only concern is the continual staff changes, which unfortunately can't be avoided.

I find the staff very friendly and very helpful. They keep me updated on mum's medication and well-being. The new cook gives advice about the menu and the food is good. The home is always kept clean and safe.

My husband and I find Church View quite satisfactory for our needs.
We are happy with our room, having a nice view of the garden.
Perhaps the menu could be a bit more varied with more fresh veg.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother took up residence at Church View in December 2015. It was something she did not want but she needed to have 24/7 care. The staff gave her a wonderful welcome, encouraged her to join the other residents for her Christmas meal and after 7 months there she has just celebrated her first birthday
in the home and is comfortable and well cared for. My mother is a very independent sole and is not of a social nature. The staff are attentive, look after her well. She has put on weight and they never insist that she leaves her room if she does not want to and she is quite happy watching the TV and snoozing. On the occasions that I visit her, the staff are friendly and I always leave, happy that she is in the right place with the right people looking after her. My mother has nothing but praise for the care that she receives and never ceases to say how kind everyone is to her and that I could not have picked a better place for her to be. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.606)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.606) out of 10 for Church View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.606 for Church View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.606

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Church View Care Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2019

I have been working in the care industry for 23 years. My First job as a carer was in Church View Nursing Home. I worked my way up to becoming a senior carer. In 2006 decided to train as a nurse and went for my Training in 2007. I worked in different care homes before; I came back to Church View as it was close to my house. I worked as a nurse, and an opportunity came for a Deputy, which I applied for and took the position, then now I am a manager of the same home, where I worked as a carer and started my working life. It’s the proudest moment of my life. CWC is a family-run business and has been built with the Hard work of the owners and has come a long way. I like working as I have been supported with the work, as I am new to the management team.


Everyone helps each other and would happily guide you. I also like the CWC team; they are goal-oriented, and there is room to grow. My inspiration is caring for people. This gives me Happiness and great satisfaction.

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I have worked in the care industry for 18 years, which I am very proud of. Within these years, I have completed qualifications from NVQ in health care, to a degree in health and social care and science. I do enjoy helping and supporting people in our care, family members, and also making professional relationships with the wider community.


Since coming to work for CWC, I have started my role as a deputy manager. I have found that CWC has been really supportive and encouraging staff with new ideas. I like that CWC is run like a small family, and everyone is very friendly. I feel very lucky to work for this company.


I hope to be able to stay in this field of management with such a company.
