Shinfield View is a multi-award-winning, purpose-built care home in the village of Shinfield in Berkshire, providing spacious care facilities within a luxury environment.

Situated just outside Wokingham near the city of Reading, Shinfield View is in a fantastic location just off the M4 and A33. A team of professional and skilled staff focus on the needs of the individual while providing high-quality care services, which include residential care and dementia care as well as respite and day care.

The home features its own cinema room where residents can relax, a fully-stocked bar and bistro area, library, private dining room, spa, hairdressing salon and landscaped gardens. The home sits just across from the village green, where family-friendly events take place throughout the year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have a great deal of expertise in elderly care as a consultant and therefore a good care home was essential - this is perfection. Attentive and proactive staff, flexible and responsive to change and a truly lovely environment. Price is very reasonable and quality is superb. Dad has settled well and
this is entirely due to the brilliant carers. Since a recent hospital stay, he has been to the seaside, interacted with great entertainment and eaten like a king. It is all round 5 star - look at social media page for a full range of activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident since June 2018 and is very happy. Her care is excellent from all members of staff, who all go above and beyond to ensure she is comfortable, entertained and well looked after. All staff, whether Carers, Domestic, Entertainment or Catering, take time to talk to Mum and they never
seem rushed. There's plenty of activities in-house and regular trips out; including some organised following requests from individual residents. The food is of a high standard and varied; I regularly join Mum to eat lunch with her and am made very welcome by the Bistro staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother and I needed to find a care home at short notice for my mother. We had considered this home previously so once the need arose we did not hesitate to choose this home for our mother. The staff have been so helpful and understanding form the moment Mum moved in. All the staff are so considerate,
kind and nothing is too much trouble. We cannot recommend Shinfield View care home highly enough.

I have been visiting Shinfield View care home with a friend for several months now. I always find the staff friendly, caring and helpful. There is so much for the residents to do and there are lots of varied activities to entertain them.
I would not hesitate to place my own parents here if necessary
in the future.

This place is wonderful. It does not feel like a care home, it's like a posh hotel. The staff are so helpful. Hope I don't need to go in a home but if I have to, I hope it's here.

I am flying out to LA this Christmas to be with my son and family, having lost my darling husband in May.
I am completely confident that my lovely mum will be in such good hands and encouraged to enjoy all the amazing activities organised for residents. Just wish mum could remember how much they enrich
her life but sadly Alzheimers robs her of such wonderful experiences. Thank you all.

My mum moved into Shinfield View in November and in just four weeks we (the family) feel we are coming home when we visit Mum. The staff are friendly, caring and I feel we have known them for years!
I feel such peace with Mum staying here - I know she is being so well cared for both emotionally and
physically.
Thank you.

The care my mother receives is very good and I am extremely pleased with Shinfield View. The staff are well trained and friendly offering an excellent standard of care. There is a range of activities provided with opportunities for going out. The Activity Coordinators make a great team in this area.
My mother is very content here. One area for improvement is keeping family informed of doctors/hospital appointment outcomes.

My mother is a recently arrived resident at Shinfield View. From the first day she arrived the staff have been wonderful. They provide great care and have improved my mother's life completely. Before coming to the home mum was becoming lonely and isolated. The staff, residents and all the activities
have given mum a new lease of life.
I highly recommend this home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Shinfield View 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.917 for Shinfield View is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shinfield View is based on 11 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 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.
