Park View Nursing Home is an extremely well run home with caring and understanding staff. The matron is very approachable to discuss any worries regarding my mother as is also wither of the staff nurses or the secretary. The home is kept very clean and the food is freshly prepared and always smells
clean when entering the front door into the lounge. All the staff are always polite and welcoming.

The staff here are caring and cheerful, they look after my sister very well and she gets on well with them and enjoys their banter. The caring is the most important thing, everything else is secondary. Questions are always answered and help and guidance is given concerning my sister's welfare and finances.
There is a good feeling when you walk in the front entrance.

My sister in law moved into this nursing home in August 2017 from the hospital. Her care has been of the highest standard and she has been treated with the utmost kindness, dignity and compassion. All staff have gone the extra mile to ensure she is settled and happy, they are never too busy to stop
for a chat and reassure her.
The food is of a high standard and I cannot recommend the home enough. Well trained and motivated staff led by an excellent manager.

This care home provides a very good service to its residents, providing care for all levels of needs.
Only one minor issue is that waiting times for toileting can be very long.

Reply from Angela Rogers, Manager at Park View Nursing Home

Thank you for the review. We love the atmosphere too and think its important to have a relaxed relationship with the people who live here. It is their home after all!

I cannot speak highly enough about the care that my husband receives at Park View. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the care is tailored to the individual needs of the resident. Nothing is too much trouble for everyone and the residents are treated as one big family. Also, there are so many
'events' and activities for all. It is a happy care home.

Good vibes greet you as you come through the entrance to the home, which immediately opens onto the main lounge. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the residents all clean and well turned out. look alert and interested in what's going on around them. There are usually a variety of entertainment
going on such as the home chair practising or exercise or games being organised by the full time entertainment officer. Hairdresser and doctor and chiropodist all make weekly visits. Outings in wheelchair happen weekly to garden centre, picnics in the park. museums, seaside, wild life parks etc..

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.606)

Overview of Review Score

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

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.830 for Park View Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 4.776 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park View Nursing Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.976

  • 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.
