Review from Philip S (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law has been at Seaview for the past 16 months. In that time the nursing, care and kindness shown to him has been excellent. He reached his 100th birthday in the manager and the team made sure it was a very special occasion for him. With the activities coordinator organising a full programme
of events it was certainly a very memorable day for my father-in-law. They topped it all off with a visit to the Mey Games where my father-in-law was honoured to meet the King.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication given to his welfare by all the staff over these past few months. A very special thankyou to the activities coordinator for going above and beyond to make his 100th an occasion for my father-in-law and his family to enjoy and remember.

Both mum and dad had to enter Seaview in January. What was a very stressful time for our family was made better by knowing that Gayle and her team would be looking after mum and dad. The staff and management really do care, it's genuine. For the families that makes us feel special and relieved that
we know our loved one are being treated with love, respect and dignity. Mum was very ill and she was well looked after. The staff all loved dad. Tears were shed by all the staff when dad moved to a care home nearer our house. I know they meant it when they said they will miss him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a daughter who was very unsure and reluctant to put my mum into care, I can't thank all the staff and management enough. From the first call, I received from the manager to arrive at the home for the first time to drop my mum off.
The staff made this transition a lot more relaxed and easier for
us both
My mum settled in quickly with the help/care/consideration/support and enthusiasm of the all staff.
I loved the buzz that was instant to see and feel in the day room supporting each resident as their needs were met. Staff showed great care and love towards them all.
The daily activities were amazing to watch as the staff buzzed around both residents and visitors.
The home environment was clean/modern/bright and homely, which I also felt helped me as I really didn't know what to expect from a care home setting.
Thank you so much Seaview Nursing Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum went into Seaview for a week's respite care while I was on holiday, initially, she was very apprehensive about going in as it was a new experience for her but she thoroughly enjoyed her experience she felt safe knowing that there was someone there for her 24 hours a day. She was delighted with
her room, it was spotless, and the facilities offered while she was there. All the staff were excellent and nothing was a bother to them, the meals were lovely and she was impressed with the choices on offer. Although it made her realise that she's not yet ready for full-time care (she didn't like the idea of someone else doing her washing) she's hoping to be able to access respite care again.

I cannot speak highly enough of the excellent care and attention by the manager and her staff to my brother. The staff are dedicated and treat all residents with dignity and respect. My brother has settled in well in the home and I know he feels safe, content and happy. There is a friendly atmosphere,
the staff are always cheery and when I visit I am always greeted warmly by all staff. I have complete confidence in the care he receives and cannot thank the staff enough. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

The staff are very compassionate and professional, they are always happy to help and the physical care is excellent. They provide proper adjustable beds with correct mattresses and all the furniture and surroundings are new and very bright and cheerful. The food is excellent and they can adapt the meals
to suit different appetites. I am most grateful for the kindness shown to my father-in-law and I can recommend Seaview as a lovely place to stay for respite or longer-term care.

I was concerned when I reached the point where my wife had to enter the care home. The management helped set my mind at ease with their very welcoming approach. The carers have been great. They are very dedicated and treat all residents with dignity and respect. My wife has settled well in the home,
is always happy and is enjoying her stay. The staff are all very upbeat, cheery and welcoming. There are lots of activities arranged for the residents. I now have a different perspective on care homes having seen the way my wife has been treated. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone.

Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Made to feel relaxed and at ease.

My husband was made to feel at home by the staff, and the manager came to see us not long after we arrived, which l felt was very kind and caring given her busy day; it made me

My husband has been a resident for over two and a half years, and in that time he has received exceptional care from a dedicated and professional care team. From the outset, the atmosphere in the home has been friendly, encouraging and entirely positive. All the staff contribute enormously to his wellbeing,
and also make it a pleasure to visit, for myself. He has been treated with kindness and the utmost dignity and I have complete confidence in the care he receives, and in those providing it.

The management and nursing teams provide a five star service for the care of the patients and I can only commend them highly for this. The food provided by the catering team is of a very high standard with my dad now gaining weight since his admission, he is brighter within himself and I see a big improvement
in his wellbeing compared to when he was in hospital.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a lovely place for my father's respite. He was really worried about going for a few weeks respite but it was so good he was not keen to go home. He has dementia but commented continually how lovely the food was and also the staff who would always make time to chat with him.
I would particularly
like to thank the manager who I liaised with to help navigate through some issues we had, and who made time to sit and have coffee with my dad when he wanted a chat (she must be very busy).
I felt so at home visiting and being able to wander around with Dad and go and make a cup of tea and sit with other residents or sit in his room.
Lots of activities to keep him entertained also.

The staff are pleasant when they meet you and are very helpful if you have any concerns. My mum is a completely different person since she moved into Seaview last December; she is interacting with other people and joining in with the activities they have, which she did not do when she was at home; she
gets her hair done, she gets on well with the staff, and she is enjoying the meals. She loves the entertainment, especially the dancing.

Mum has only been in Seaview Nursing Home for about 3-weeks, but the family cannot get over the difference it has made to her.
We knew it was no longer possible for her to be at home but still felt very unsure about how she would settle being in care.
We couldn't have been more wrong with our thoughts.
She looks as though she is loving life again. Interacting and being the social butterfly she had once been many years ago. That is all down to the manager and staff at Seaview. In 3-short weeks, she is a new person.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently visited Scotland for a week and visited my dad every day. I was welcomed by all the staff, who used my first name, and everything was made easy for me to do a Covid test before visiting to comply with the necessary protocols. My dad has been moved to a larger room to enable the staff to use
the necessary equipment for his care, and it is so light with two windows and really comfortable for him. He was always “clean and shiny”! And very well dressed. It was such a lovely atmosphere at Seaview - a home-from-home and a pleasure to visit and chat with staff and residents, as well as my dad! The activities taking place at Seaview are too numerous to mention, and they provide so much interaction for all their residents, which was obvious from the happy and relaxed atmosphere at the home. I can’t praise nor thank the staff enough! See you again soon!

It is difficult for a family when one of your loved ones had to go into long term care and takes time for everyone to adjust. I cannot thank all the lovely staff for all the love and care they continue to provide my dad. I know by the way my lovely dad smiles and reacts to them all and how safe and
loved he feels. He will often say to me "mercy, they're good to me". I am especially thankful to each and every one of them for giving my dad the love and care he needs under such difficult circumstances lately. Forever thankful.

The staff at Seaview are wonderful. They have so much time and care for my father, and I know I can call or email any time to speak to someone and they will assist. I cannot thank them all enough for how they are helping my dad.
I hope that post-Covid they’ll be able to do more events with the residents,
and if you don’t already follow their Facebook page as it’s a great way to see what they do.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.458)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.458) out of 10 for Barchester Seaview House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.925 for Barchester Seaview House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.925
  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 4.533 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Seaview House Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.833
  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.

Hello. My Name is Tricia, and I am the Deputy Manager here at Seaview House. I started working at Seaview House in 2022, and I love it here. The management and staff here work really well together, and it means this is a brilliant home to work in. I am now privileged to be part of the management team, where we strive to make sure that each resident feels at home and that each family knows their loved one is being looked after by truly caring professionals.


I am a mum of two teenagers. I love reading and often get lost in the pages of a good book. I have recently taken up swimming as a way to stay active. Gardening and growing a variety of flowers gives me a sense of accomplishment.

My name is Gina. I joined the Barchester team in December 2024. I’m a mental health nurse with 20 years of experience. My passion for nursing lies in older adult care. I have worked extensively with individuals living with dementia and complex long-term health needs. My ethos lies in promoting dignity, enhancing quality of life, providing high standards of care and supporting both residents and their families through complex care needs.


Outside of work, I am a proud parent of two children. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming and long walks in the countryside.
