My wife has resided in Abington Park View for 5 years now, and she has consistently been cared for with a profound grace, compassion and dignity. She has found a thankful, serene peace, surely the most precious gift of all. We, as a family know that when we leave, there are never any concerns. We are treated as a family how special!
My aunt moved into Abington Park View Care Home in August 2025, and from the outset we have been impressed by the warmth and kindness shown to her. The staff have consistently treated her with dignity, patience and genuine care. What stands out most is how engaged they are with all residents - everyone is encouraged to come downstairs and join in. Care is clearly individualised, and there is a strong emphasis on understanding her preferences, routines and personality. The manager is particularly committed to person-centred care, and that attitude comes through in the whole team. Staff are attentive, approachable, and clearly motivated by wanting to do the right thing for residents on a day-to-day basis. What matters most to our family is the lived experience of care - and we feel reassured knowing my aunt is in a place where she is treated as an individual, and where kindness is at the heart of how care is delivered. It feels as much like home as a care setting possibly could.
My dad has been at Abingdon Park View since April 2025. He has presented staff with many challenges, yet all the staff we have encountered have been incredibly patient and understanding. My dad relates well with the staff most of the time. The manager, Sarah, has gone above and beyond to accommodate my dad, despite the challenges and demonstrates an in-depth understanding of his needs that we have not encountered in previous care homes.
Thank you Kathy for your glowing endorsement of Abington Park View Care Home. We are delighted to have cared for dad since he joined us in April 2025 and we are very grateful for you acknowledging that the staff have been patient and understanding. We pride ourselves on the level of care that we...
My mum has been a resident at Abington Park View for four and a half years, and I can't imagine anywhere better for her needs. Choosing the right care home wasn't something we took lightly. We visited more than ten different places before making our decision. Abington Park View stood out from the start. The manager, clearly explained how they care for dementia residents, putting their needs first, and we could see what a great team she had put in place. We've had absolutely no regrets about our choice. The home is run brilliantly, with plenty of activities and regular visitors coming in to keep everyone engaged. The staff truly go above and beyond. You can tell they care. Every time we visit, we're made to feel welcome, and that's much appreciated. What is vital is that they really listen. If we ever think Mum needs something or have any concerns, they take our views on board straightaway. It's such a friendly place with a real community feel. Honestly, I can't think of a better
Thank you M J for your lovely review of Abington Park View. We appreciate that you took the time and effort to finding the right home for mum and these last 4 and a half years have flown by. Our care for all our residents is our number one priority and we are delighted that you have no regrets...
I transferred my mum (Bernice) to APV care home after she had been in a home in Leicester & instantly realised the care & compassion was on a complete new level-the staff are extremely attentive. Sarah is extremely helpful & Mae is a great asset as she is in tune with residents, family & ensures that everything runs smoothly. A great choice!

Thank you for taking such great care of my grandmother.
Thank you for your glowing endorsement of Abington Park View Care Home. Your grandmother's 100th birthday was a fabulous day for her and all the residents. We are indeed one big family and love the fact that you share our ethos and vision. It is lovely for your grandmother to have family visit and she is an amazing lady.

We will always do our best to ensure mum and all the residents remain safe, happy and healthy. Thank you once again for your kind words. Best wishes from us all at Abington Park View Care Home.
My mum has been a resident of APV for almost six years. In that time, the level of care, compassion, love and spiritual support has been outstanding. As mum's condition has deteriorated we have been kept informed of her care and support to ensure that they are in accordance with both her and our wishes. APV is a lovely, welcoming home with a fantastic and caring team.
Thank you for your lovely review of Abington Park View. It has been our honour to care for your mum for nearly 6 years. In that time we have fostered a close relationship with the family and we appreciate you acknowledging the 'caring team' that we have at Abington Park View Care Home. All our very best wishes to you and your lovely family.
All I can do is say it's a very homely home. Superbly run by great management and helpful, friendly and extremely caring staff. Mum was very well looked after by people who really cared. Highly recommended.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible care given to my mother during her nine month stay until she passed away. She was happy and very well cared for. The staff are all very caring, loving and supportive whilst remaining professional at all times. They provided a safe place and a sympathetic environment for each individual resident. I would recommend Abington Park View to anybody having to make this difficult decision to move their loved ones to a Care Home. Thank you Abington Park View

We will continue to keep you updated on all developments to do with your father and life at Abington Park View Care Home.

Our mum moved into Abington Park View Care Home only three weeks ago. We chose this home after viewing it and we immediately knew it was the right place. The team have really helped Mum settle in and it has been truly heartwarming to see she has been joining in with the regular events and activities. The fantastic staff also make us feel so welcome every time we visit and we really enjoy seeing Mum in her new home. We can relax knowing that Mum is being so well cared for.

Today I visited my Aunt. She has been a resident for approx 6 weeks. The transformation in her behaviour and appearance in that time has been lovely to see. She is happy and well cared for. Her presenting needs have been addressed, and she is cared for in a person centred way. The staff are well trained and welcoming. It's a pleasure to visit her.

My mother-in-law was very well cared for. The setting was homely, the staff went the extra mile. The staff treat the residents like family. My mother-in-law was very happy there. She loved to get involved with everything that was going on and the staff went above and beyond to cater to her needs.

My mum was a resident at Abington Park View for three years before she passed away last month. Trusting the welfare of a loved one to someone outside of the family is a big step and we were anxious at first but the amazing staff at Abington Park View soon put our minds at ease. Everyone is so caring and the atmosphere is one of a home from home. Right from the start, Mum was treated as an individual with the staff wanting to know what made her happy and what her interests were - this made such a difference to her quality of life. Important days such as Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary were always marked in some way, such as Dad being invited to come and share a special meal with Mum. We always felt included in Mum's care with regular updates and the opportunity to take part in online meetings. My family and I are so grateful that Mum's final years were spent in such a caring, safe, and happy environment.
Thank you for your glowing endorsement of Abington Park View Care Home. It was our pleasure to care for Mum for three years and we are so grateful for your kind words about the staff. We pride ourselves on the care we deliver on a daily basis and on treating each resident as an individual. Marking...
Mum was living at Abington Park View for three years before she passed away in August 2024. It was a very difficult time when it became clear that, due to the progression of Alzheimer's, it was no longer possible for us to care for Mum at home. We looked at many homes before deciding that Abington Park View was the one where we thought she would be happiest and we were not disappointed. The care she received was second to none and it was such a comfort to know that Mum was safe, happy, and loved. We were involved in all decisions made about mum's care and always kept fully informed. Mum was treated with the utmost respect and all of the staff were friendly, loving, and caring. They do everything possible to ensure that the residents remain as active as possible and have a happy and fulfilled life. Every member of staff at Abington Park View is professional and totally dedicated to the residents they care for. We cannot thank them enough for making mum's last three years such happy ones.
Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed and glowing endorsement of the care your mum received at Abington Park View Care Home. We appreciate you acknowledging that Mum was safe, happy, and loved. Involving families in all decision-making aspects of a loved one's care is pivotal to...
My mum was a resident here for just under 3 years. We were very upset that she needed to go into a care home but almost straight we could see that this was the perfect place for her. The staff were wonderful. It really felt like walking into a family home. Mum was never in her room, except to sleep. She was always being kept active, both mentally and physically. Staff very quickly worked out what mum loved to do (look after others) and set about making sure she could do this by safely including her in helping to tidy, serve dinner and look after the 'babies' (dolls). This was key to mum having a full and happy life. They always included us in all the social events at the home and each member of staff became friends to us as a family. We really felt they loved having mum there and when she passed away last month, the staff were visibly upset, which goes to show the level they care for their residents. We're so happy she spent her final years here, happy, safe and loved. Thank you
Thank you for your wonderful review of Abington Park View Care Home. It was our pleasure to care for mum and we feel privileged that you feel that we were the perfect place for her. We will feedback your kind words about the staff and we pride ourselves on being a home from home for all our...
When my mum began to deteriorate rapidly and needed more support, this was discussed with us so we were fully involved in all decisions. The end-of-life care she received was excellent, as was the support we were given during the very hard final visits.
Overall, Abington Park View is like a home from home for those staying there and the staff are dedicated to making life interesting and keeping residents as active as possible through lots of activities, i.e. visits from a local nursery, religious services, seasonal crafts, and quizzes.
Thank you for your detailed and glowing endorsement of Abington Park View Care Home. It was our pleasure to care for your mum and we appreciate you rating the care she received as 'second to none'. Our staff will always treat our wonderful residents with the dignity and safety that they deserve....

Meet the Team (2)

My name is Sarahjane and I am the Manager here at Abington Park View. I have a passion for delivering truly, quality driven care and a particular passion for dementia care, believing that every individual with a dementia, can live a fulfilling life .I have a vast amount of experience of consistently delivering high standards of care over the past 20 years. I have shaped and managed APV for the past 3 and a half years (with a gap of 3 months). My main responsibilities are to oversee the safe and effective management of the Home, ensuring standards are maintained and exceeded. We have developed a team with exceptional values and commitment to delivering safe, quality care support. I am very proud of what we have achieved so far and what we can still achieve, striving for continuous improvement, led by our residents. This is a bespoke Home providing a bespoke, truly personalised service. All departments work hard as a team to create and understand the needs of our residents. Our Home and the decisions taken within it are led by our residents, from where a picture is to be hung, to the colour of their bedrooms, to what the menu consists of. Everyday, we strive to ensure APV is a place where our residents experience Joy and Happiness and a place where we strive to continuously, enhance, lives. We are told often what a lovely ‘feel’ the Home has and how consistent the staff team is, mostly, the team have been together for a number of years, which says much about the APV ‘family’ particularly in the current climate.

My primary concern is the comfort and safety of all our residents and staff. No less important my role also encompasses the security and safety of the building it's framework and contents. I work proactively to pre-empt risk and find solutions to ensure well-being and needs are met for everyone here. It's an ever-changing environment of new challenges and developments and during my time here I have bought many projects to successful completion. These include both improvements in the working environment for the staff and enhancing the atmosphere of the resident’s home here at Abington Park view.
