Proud to be rated 'Good' across all five areas in recent CQC inspection (July 2021).

At Thames View, staff are dedicated to providing the highest level of residential, nursing and dementia care for up to 78 elderly residents, including trial stays, short stays, convalescent care and long-term care for individuals or couples.

Thames View is a Grade II* listed building boasting many late 18th Century and early 19th Century interior features. Originally designed as a beautiful mansion, the magnificent property has grand interiors and spacious rooms. The home has been refurbished into a luxury care home with the highest quality finishes; upgraded and added to whilst retaining its former glory. The luxurious home is set in delightful surroundings in the heart of Thames Ditton, with beautiful views over the River Thames.

Residents are encouraged to bring important personal possessions to personalise their rooms and the home operates an open visiting policy, where residents and loved ones may visit at convenient times for them.

Their own dementia training means that staff are well equipped to meet the needs of residents living with dementia. From designing an engaging environment and planning relevant activities to creating meals that offer a much-improved dining experience for residents living with dementia or dysphagia, every aspect of care has been carefully thought through at Thames View.

Review from Sian O (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home of Compassion was all I could ever have hoped for for the final 4 months of my mother's life. Just after her 80th birthday, Mum was terribly sick when she was admitted to hospital last December. There, over the course of 10 days she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we were desperate to get
her into a place of peace and comfort. It seemed impossible but in a Christmas miracle, Home of Compassion had a place available to move her in on the 24th.
In the weeks that followed, Mum rallied under the loving care of the staff from the home and supported by visits from an amazing nurse from the Hospice. She enjoyed weekly movie afternoons and daily sit-down exercise classes, a Chinese New Year dinner, the beautiful garden, lunch with friends. These weeks were such a blessing and a source of strength when she started to decline again.
In her final days, the care intensified. Everyone on staff was so very kind. I have tremendous gratitude for all that they have done.

We attended the Christmas Concert which we thoroughly enjoyed! It was a bright, uplifting concert filled with Christmas cheer! The staff worked so hard to put on such a lovely performance and decorate the bistro. All staff are so attentive and kind and caring. Was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all and

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother has been at the Home of Compassion for 6 years now. Over that period we have seen plenty of change with the home and families having been through the worst situation with lockdowns and the pandemic. However, the most significant shift in the Home of Compassion is that it feels that it is
really embracing the idea of being a community, a real family and the best possible home away from home. Amazing inclusive activities, a lot of positive fun and energy and regular phone calls and feedback from the staff make all the difference. I know Mum is being cared for, stimulated and most of all, respected.

My aunt suffers from dementia therefore she cannot tell me in her own words how she feels about the home. However, she seems comfortable and content when I visit her. My main contacts are the manager and one of my aunt's carers. It was due to the manager who first met with my aunt and myself that made
the decision to move my aunt to the home. The manager is always available when I have any concerns. My aunt's carer is an excellent carer, very kind. She knows my aunt well and can always inform me of her well-being.

I have been very impressed with the quality of the daycare activities but particularly the initiative that has been underway with the choir. Singing has never been a strong family trait but it is magical to see just how much Mum, along with the other members of the choir enjoy and benefit from the experience.
The
concert they put on at the start of October was a joyous occasion for all who were there. It was wonderful that the event not only involved the singing but also the crafts and flower arranging that had taken place to transform the Bistro.
A massive well done to everyone who has worked so hard behind the scenes.

Review from Shena C (Goddaughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was with a good deal of reluctance that my sisters and I made the decision that it was time for my elderly godmother to live in a care home. She had been having 24 hour care in her own flat overlooking the river and was happy.
However, looking ahead, we could see a time where her dementia and mobility
issues would make staying at home impossible.
We already knew The Home of Compassion, as my father spent the last few weeks of his life there, and we knew that my godmother would be really well cared for there. Our decision was purely based on her welfare, and the fact that there were trained medical staff on hand when needed. However, what I did not take into consideration was the vast range of activities to keep her body and mind active. I was able to join her on one such afternoon, where I saw first hand just how brilliant the girls who provide the activities are, and how much she benefitted from joining in. I really believe she is as happy as she could be.

Staff at all levels are excellent. Meals are very good. Activities excellent. Nursing staff are very caring and patient. There are no areas where I can see improvements needed. The only difficulty is being able to afford it. There are very few people who can afford it which means the sale of assets
(usually a house) to pay for the fees. Obviously, the provision of care at this level is expensive.

Following major surgery, I was made very welcome by all the staff and management team. All were unfailingly polite, caring, and keen to make sure that I had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable.
The food is of a very high quality, and the activities provided for the long-stay residents
are well planned and extremely wide ranging.
The building and the rooms are beautifully decorated, and the gardens with a wonderful view of the river lift the spirits and certainly help ones recovery.
I would recommend the Home of Compassion for anyone needing respite care.

A big thank you to all the staff at the Home of compassion. Thanks for the institution of weekly reports to the key relative, and monthly virtual resident and relative meetings with the manager and team. There has been timely communication & discussions whenever there are issues at other times, and
more recently they have provided/encouraged more diverse activities for the residents. One such recent example was the jubilee BBQ for relatives and residents last Saturday on the 28th. It was a lovely afternoon in the beautiful garden by the river Thames. There were happy faces, drinks, good food, music entertainment and they even ordered the sunshine. It certainly lifted my mother's mood.

Review from D C (Son of Resident) published on 8 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The building is stunning. The care staff are fantastic and highly compassionate. Unfortunately, the staff turnover is huge, and when one asks why they are leaving it always seems to be salary-related with better pay somewhere else. The deputy head is an amazing woman and is always willing to bend over
backwards to help with everything. The food is good and the entertainment is really fantastic for the residents.
Unfortunately, this is being run as a profitable company with the management not concerned with keeping residents but increasing annual payments so high that they are now head and shoulders above other care homes offering the same level of care and facilities.
I was very sad to move my Dad after being there for 5 years but the monthly payments have just become ridiculous. There is an annual rate of increase to the payments, so the longer you stay the more you pay, but no discount for loyal residents, so it is now just a money-making venture.
To the care team, a huge thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Thames 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.875 for Thames View is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.875
  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 Thames View is based on 35 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 35 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.

“As General Manager, I believe that our residents should be treated with the highest quality of care possible and endeavour to ensure that my team and I always maintain this, whilst making each day memorable. I lead by example and involve myself in the day-to-day life of our community as well as making Thames View a happy and enjoyable place in which to live and work.


I take a lot of pleasure from spending time with relatives and residents, understanding the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of our community.


I have worked in the hospitality sector my entire career and have had the opportunity to work and manage a large private hospital as well as amazing hotels. My previous experience means that I can therefore provide a service to our residents, families, guests, and colleagues, which is the highlight of my day.


At Thames View, we are one big family and everything we do is from the heart, delivering care with empathy and always being helpful to our residents and team for no other reason than to make a difference every day.


My biggest achievement is my family and I appreciate how supportive they are of what I do as I work away from home. It’s been lovely to see and explore Thames Ditton as the area is amazing and it is important that our home is part of our local community. I am a keen traveller, love cruising and holidaying, as well as countryside walks and am passionate about life, making every day count while making memories.”
