Mum is settled in the home she has lived in the home since 2018 and I have never had an issue with her care, she has been well cared for and although she is now virtually bed bound/ chair bound the staff are doing every thing in their power to prevent the inevitable pressure sores they regularly turn
her and have her on the air mattress with regular checks I am happy with the care she is given.

Since my Aunt has lived here she has settled in really well and is very content and happy. It is very comforting to see that all the staff are extremely good with her.
My only concern is that some of her items have gone missing on many occasions and as yet her outdoor shoes, walking stick and a personal
handmade gift that she treasured have still not been located after many months.
Overall we are extremely happy with the continued care she is receiving from everyone.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My dad has been in this home for six months now. The staff are lovely and very caring towards all of the residents and he is always kept clean and tidy, however, this home uses a lot of agency staff which means the residents don’t get to know a lot of the carers on a personal level and vice versa. Had
some issues when he first went in but the manager was always there to listen and take action. The home itself could do with a refurb especially upstairs as does not feel homely at all, activities could be better to keep the residents stimulated and the home is in desperate need of a new minibus as always broken which means residents can’t get out on day trips.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My lovely mam died 30th November and had been part of Regents View family for almost two years. It was her home where she was safe and cared for by staff who became her family and loved her. She was able to enjoy lovely meals and treats, bingo, arts and crafts, visits from school children and bus rides
to the seaside for fish and chips. Staff helped Mam to maintain her love of music and dancing in the lounge, at the local club and also in her room. I visited regularly and I was always made aware of any changes or concerns about mam. The manager is very approachable and reassuring and this is reflected in the staff and how they work as a team and as caring individuals. Mam was shown kindness, humour, understanding and compassion, as was I. I will be forever grateful to the staff who cared for Mam on the day she died and I have comfort in knowing her Regents View family was with her.

Since my husband became a resident in the care home. I feel he will be well cared for. The manager is great to approach, nothing is a bother to her and her staff which puts me at ease knowing my husband is in safe hands. The home is beautiful, clean and the bedrooms are excellent, great home-cooked
food. What I really like about the home is every member of staff are great with residents and families.

I said I would never put my wife in a home, but since the hospital put her in for 24-hour care, it was taken out of my hands. Since finding this home, I've experienced a group of people who are perfect for the job, always smiling and willing to help. I couldn't ask for a better set up for my wife.

Regents View has provided first-class care for my mum since her arrival. As I live in Northern Ireland, it is not always possible to just pop in and see my mum. But I am kept updated by staff if there are any issues. On my visits, the staff are friendly and courteous and treat my mum with respect. Meals
are well presented and have a good variation. The general cleanliness of the home is to a high standard. When I return home after each visit, I know that my mum will continue to be well cared for by the staff.

My mother spent the last 15 months of her long life at Regents View Care Home. She died at the age of 101. Despite her being a very independent lady she was content there and we could not have asked for more caring staff. We live five hours away, but we were kept up to date on even the slightest incident
or change.
What always impressed us, was when we rang, whoever answered the phone always knew exactly where my mother was and what she was doing.
She was well cared for. After being admitted, it was not long before she looked the healthiest she had looked in years.
We would thoroughly recommend Regents View.

My gran has recently come to live at Regents View. She can be a little difficult but the staff are great with her. Really make her feel relaxed. Our family came to the festival in August and it was amazing, all the other residents were having a great time and the atmosphere was relaxed with plenty smiling
faced including my gran. Everyone chipped in and the manager was on the BBQ which was fab to see. Real sense of a great team, who care for the residents.


I can't comment on everything as we are new to the home but first impressions are above our expectations.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.404)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.404) out of 10 for Regents View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.404 for Regents View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.404
  2. 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 Regents View Care Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
