My dad has been at the care home for a number of years now, I can not praise the staff enough for the care that is given to him. But a special mention must go to the well-being officer who gets to know every resident's interests to ensure that they are able to take part in activities. The home is welcome
and homely, where Dad is always happy.

Reply from Eirwen Jones, Registered Manager at Valley View Care Home

It is wonderful to read your kind words and we are thrilled to have created an environment that brings comfort and happiness to your dad. Thank you, especially for highlighting the exceptional work of our well-being coordinator; she is a true asset to our team and goes above and beyond to ensure the holistic well-being of our residents. Your lovely review serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing compassionate and comprehensive care and we look forward to seeing you soon at Valley View.

My mother has only been a resident at Valley View Care Home for eight weeks but she was made very welcome from day one and the staff have all treated her with dignity, respect and sympathy as well as acting very professionally at all times. The whole experience of using the home has been made a lot
easier during a very difficult time for both my mum and the family.
The home itself has excellent facilities, is well-maintained and they offer numerous activities to involve and stimulate the residents. I know it's early days for us but to date, I am extremely impressed. Thanks to all the staff.

Having no previous experience or connection with a care or nursing home facility, we find Valley View Care Home to be of a good standard and we feel comfortable with the care our mother receives there. It is a friendly, relaxed care home with excellent staff and very good, organised daily activities
for the residents.

My mother has been at Valley View Care Home for over a year now and she is very settled and contented and feels that the care she receives to be of an excellent standard. In my opinion, the home is well-managed, cleanliness is of a high standard and the staff are always kind and helpful. If there is
a medical problem, issues are always reported to the correct department and referrals are made and next of kin are made aware. Overall, I am very impressed with the overall standard of the home.

My mother has been a resident here since September 2018, she took a while to settle in but once she did, she loved this home - always laughing and smiling. She passed away at the end of June, unfortunately, even though it was expected. The staff in the dementia unit are the best anyone could ever hope
for. They looked after Mum with so much care and compassion I'm in debt to them forevermore. Please thank all the staff, especially the member of staff who did video calls throughout lockdown and even a surprise one on Christmas day. Mum was truly loved by all the staff and made her last few years very pleasurable. Thank you Valley View Care Home. If you're thinking of looking for a care home for a loved one, this should be at the top of your list.

Reply from Olly Lapite, Marketing Lead at Valley View Care Home

Dear Michael, We'd like to extend our condolences to yourself and your family. Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind words in what we appreciate, must be a difficult time. As you say, your mum was loved by all members of the team, and she will be sorely missed. We're glad to hear that we were able to assist in making these last few years pleasurable for you and your mum in such difficult circumstances. Thanks again.

My mother passed away on 20th January and I wanted it to be noted how wonderful the staff at Valley View were in the run-up to this during and after. They were extremely supportive, kind and led us quietly and lovingly through this process. My Mam was in Valley View for a year and the staff have been
wonderful throughout her stay. Well managed, well organised with the patient, not profit being the focus. I live abroad and I was able to continue with my life knowing my Mam was in excellent hands.

I find the care home excellent and my mother well cared for. They also support me when I'm down. Staff are like extended family, from care worker to administrator, always there to chat if needs be. I am able to rest when I'm not at the home, knowing Mam's care is well looked after. They always keep
me updated with her health and well being.

My mum gets the best care possible. All staff are friendly and approachable. My mum has been very ill on two occasions and staff sat with her encouraging her to eat and drink. Without this dedication, I truly believe that Mum would have passed away. The girls are always cheerful and treat all residents
with care and respect. For this, I am extremely grateful.

We were faced with the heartache of both our parents having to go into long-term EMI care. I viewed a number of care homes and my first impressions of Valley View was that they were welcoming and friendly. It had a nice feel and without anything else to go on, made the decision that this was to be our
parents home. Since then, I have not been disappointed.
I cannot recommend the staff highly enough from the care home manager, the Ward Leader, the carers, the domestic and catering staff and the handymen - all of whom greet you with a smile and are willing to do whatever is needed to help.
I have been impressed with the genuine care displayed by the carers - young and old (wouldn't like to say!). I have been kept informed of changes in medication, updates from doctor reviews, changes in eating habits and also how they have settled and interacted with others. I truly believe that my parents are being cared for in a way that is in their best interests.

I find Valley View a lovely place since new management has come in and new nurses. I can see that staff do look after the residents well. I do think that it would be nice if building rooms and toilets could be updated/modernised to make it look more of a bright welcoming place.

When we viewed Valley View Care Home looking for a care home for my 93 year old mother we received a warm welcome from the manager. She gave us good honest advice and recommended that we look around other homes before making our final decision. Our initial thoughts were that the home was clean light
airy and the staff are pleasant. My mother has been a resident at Valley View for three months now and has settled very well. Although she still needs nursing care her health has improved. She responds to the friendliness of the girls and always tells us how kind the staff are. She has put on 10 kilos in weight which is an indication that the food is good! We are always made welcome by the staff and manager alike. We also appreciate the good communication from staff, nurses updating us on any changes in my mothers well being. Thank you to everyone at Valley View.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Valley View Care 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.815 for Valley View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 Valley View Care Home is based on 20 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
