I can not tell you what a relief it is to find somewhere where my mum is happy. As a carer for a parent with dementia one is very aware of the vulnerability of our parent but Shinfield View is full of life, the staff are very friendly and professional. My Mum is enjoying it so much she has asked to
stay for another two weeks. You can't get a better recommendation than that. Thank you, everyone.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Shinfield View to anyone. I trust the staff implicitly with all aspects of my mothers care having a background in this field of employment the positive change in my mum from the time she arrived here, within 2 weeks she was coming out of her shell.
Also,
her diet and food choices have changed for the better and she is eating well. 100 out of 100.

Very pleased with the care my mother is receiving. The home is most welcoming to all. A mention must be given to the entertainments that are given, as there is always something going on. I like to think they go the extra mile to please.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife is diagnosed with moderate dementia with severe memory problems. After reviewing most care homes in the area, I found Shinfield View head and shoulders above the others in all ways.
The management and staff all take a caring and sympathetic approach to all patients. The facilities, care and
food are of top order. My wife settled very quickly and the standard remains just as good. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone. My ratings below are not an exaggeration in any way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had a secret dread of going to a care home, based on my late mothers' experiences. I needn't have worried. Shinfield View is what they say in their booklet; 'luxury living and exceptional care'.
All the staff were so friendly and caring. In fact, the calm professionalism of all the staff was really
impressive. Shinfield View leaves an excellent example that other care homes should follow.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Could be happier about my Nan's stay at Shinfield View. Before coming into Shinfield View, my Nan had no quality of life and began to not socialise or go out. Since being in Shinfield View, she is going out, eating well and is having an amazing time! Daily, she takes part in all the activities and goes
out all the time, when I speak to her she says how much she loves it and every single member of staff genuinely care. At home, she was eating the same day in and day out. Now, she is trying all different kind of foods and is enjoying the social side of eating. Cannot thank everyone enough for their genuine care about my Nan and their efforts to bring her back out of her shell.

The home did everything to ensure the admission process went smoothly, it was well organised and the team made my brother, who came with my mother when she was admitted, very welcome and part of what was going on, so this made me feel at ease.
My mother appears happy and content in a very short space
of time, she is doing more than I have seen her do in years almost back to her old self. I couldn't be happier with the care and the home is just a wonderful place.

We booked the fine dining room for lunch with our uncle as it was his birthday. We pre-ordered our meal from a good choice. On the day, we were treated to 5-star quality food in an exclusive dining room. Excellent all round. Couldn't ask for more.
The friendliness of the staff is much appreciated and
we feel our uncle is safe and in capable hands.

Would be surprised if anyone could find a care home better than Shinfield View. I can't fault it.


All the staff are so caring, nothing is too much trouble.


The food is superb restaurant quality.


The entertainment is great and the two fun-loving ladies who take care of the events are just lovely

and encourage the quieter residents to join in - no one is left out.


I will definitely move into this 'care hotel' myself in future years.

As you walk through the door and see the smiling faces of the residents and staff, you know you're somewhere special.
To sit and talk with the residents cheers me up as they like to sit and chatter about their life.
Tuesday coffee morning is great, along with Thursday evening entertainment. The staff
are truly amazing and devoted to their job. The smiles of the staff make a rainy day change to summer sunshine.

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.
