Over all time Abington Park View Care Home has 52 reviews.
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....
The staff and management were always kind and helpful and very accommodating when I visited my relative in their care cannot praise them highly enough they are always available to help with the residents nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for your kind words about the staff and management at Abington Park View Care Home. We pride ourselves on delivering the best possible level of care for our wonderful residents and it was our privilege to care for your father. Best wishes from us all at Abington Park View Care Home.
Would Abington Park View Care Home be the new home for my wife? No worries! Management and staff are a great team. A caring and homely group with a 'can do' attitude toward keeping residents safe, comfortable and content, with dignity. It's first names for staff and residents alike, rooms are kept clean and bright. All are ensuite with safety in mind, windows only open ajar to minimise risks. Special safety mats are fitted to emit a signal to night staff to warn that the resident is treading on the mat during the dark hours. There we have it, a well run care home by a dedicated team for the benefit of residents in a safe, secure and homely atmosphere, namely the Abington Park View Care Home.
We are delighted to read that you are so happy with the care that your wife receives at Abington Park View. Thank you for your kind words about the team and our 'can do' attitude.

Mum-in-law has been in the home for four years now and during that time the care has been exceptional. The staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble. The environment is always clean and the decorations are very cheerful. It is a welcoming environment at all times.

I never thought of the day that Mum would go into a care home, as our mum was always looking after us, right to the day she couldn't. Mum went into two respites, and they definitely don't stand up to Abington Park View. The care that is received is all we can ask for. She has a lovely room, which is always clean, and the food is all made fresh, which I am sure when Mum could eat, she enjoyed it, especially the cake. The care that I have witnessed has always been kind and respectful, and I have never heard a carer's voice raised to any of the residents. Overall, I am truly grateful for all that they do for our mum.
Thank you, Susan, for your lovely review and endorsement of Abington Park View. We are delighted to read that all the care that you have witnessed has always been kind and respectful. We will ensure that we feedback on your kind words to the staff so that they know that their hard efforts are...
My mother has been a resident at Abington Park View for over three years. The levels of cleanliness and hygiene are high and well maintained, the manager and her colleague are friendly and approachable and always happy to help with any concerns the family may have. The interaction between the carers and residents is warm and caring. My mother's needs are complex, as a family we are confident that the manager and her team meet Mum's needs, comfort and safety with kindness, patience and dignity. It is reassuring to know my mother is in such good hands.
Thank you for your glowing endorsement of Abington Park View. We pride ourselves on our levels of cleanliness and hygiene and thank you for acknowledging this. We are like one big family at Abington Park View and we'll always ensure that we best meet all the resident's needs in a safe and...
We, as a family, are truly grateful she is in safe hands that have her best interests at heart. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for taking the time to submit this review. We are so fortunate to be able to support such lovely people and help them in any way we can and feel blessed to do so.
The home is friendly, clean and the staff are very hard working and attend the residents and the visitors needs.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and the care delivered.
I could not praise the staff enough, for the love, care and passion they have for all of their residents. The warmth and comfort I personally received will never go forgotten. Always clean and the residents always happy. The care that everyone gave to my grandad was excellent. Unfortunately, we lost grandad in April but the staff on shift that day took so much care of us as a family. I visited yesterday to say hello to staff and residents and was welcomed with open arms, activities and games being led by staff and the interaction with all residents was great. Each resident is well known and small things to help them feel more at home are thought of and put in place. Thank you to those special people who loved my grandad with us.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review us, at this most difficult of times for you. As you know, your grandad was an amazing man and was a pleasure to provide support and care to. He touched all of our hearts and will forever remain in our thoughts. You and your family are always most welcome to pop in when in the area. We send best wishes to you all.
The home is welcoming at all times and keeps in regular contact during which it is apparent the staff know and care about the residents. Staff are retained with a low turnover. Any requests are quickly actioned. The residents look well and are clean and tidy. The meals especially the afternoon tea style of the evening meal are attractive and appetising.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We truly apply our beliefs to delivering truly person centred care and are pleased that you recognise our efforts.
I have found the care given to my mother (and other residents) has been first rate, I can think of no negatives at all. From the manageress, and carers to the cook - all very friendly with nothing too much trouble, regular updates either by email or phone. The home is very clean and well-maintained. I would not hesitate in recommending Abington Park View.
Thank you for your lovely comments, which are much appreciated. We do indeed endeavour to provide a home from home experience here at Abington Park View and are pleased to hear that you and Mum are happy with the service received.
Abington Park View is a caring establishment where staff understand and support the individual needs of residents. The well-being of residents is their number one priority. Residents are treated with dignity and respect. The care home is always clean and there is a programme of improvements always geared towards improving the quality of life of residents. The way in which the home has cared for residents during the Covid-19 pandemic is exemplary. I have nothing but admiration for the work of the carers. Abington Park View is a true 'home'.
My husband and I are extremely happy with my late mother-in-law’s care at this home. The staff were extremely caring and kind and did everything possible to make sure her needs and wishes were met. The home is extremely clean and she had a really lovely room with a great outlook over to the park. We cannot praise the staff highly enough with the standard of care she received, following the upheaval of moving to Northampton from Essex, where she had lived for many years. We would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone who needed a residential home for a relative.
My sister-in-law has settled down remarkably quickly and is very happy. All of which must be a tribute to the quality of the staff and management and the very high standard of care and attention provided.
If I could live there I would!
I have absolutely nothing but love and admiration for everyone at Abington Park View.
Gareth thank you very much for your feedback. We always aim to provide the best service for all our service users at the care home. The management and staff are very appreciative of your positive comments.
The home gives an ambience of one big happy family. When some residents become upset due to their condition, staff have had good training in overcoming the problem and settle residents in a loving calm manner.
They have wonderful activities eg making Easter bonnets, Christmas parties, celebrating festivals such as Chinese New Year, trips to the garden centre and outings to the local park have also been organised.
Families are also updated on what goes on in the home with meetings throughout the year.
Reactive to residents needs - have good understanding and can predicate/interpret what clients with dementia present with.
Plenty of snacks and fluids on tap - clients can help themselves alongside relatives.
Environment spotless with no offensive smells.
Staff observed to be relaxed and happy.
Overall a serene environment. Homely and as stress-free as possible.

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.
