I am so grateful to this care home for providing actual proper care to my mum who passed away in April. After a less from happy experience at a care home, my mum was placed on the EMI floor in 2025 and though she wasn't always the easiest of residents she forged good & healthy relationships with her main carers. Her room was kept immaculately and me and my dad were always met with a smile and warmth. Thank you Dave, Donna et al for making her last year a lot less brutal than it might have been - I'll never forget your kindnesses.

I can't praise the senior care staff and care staff enough for the end of life care my aunt received at Park View, after a terrible time she had at a previous care home. The care home manager went above and beyond and was a credit to her profession. I would like to thank all at Park View.

We are always working to improve communication and take your feedback onboard and we are always replenishing crockery and cutlery but will ensure that stock levels are checked more frequently to prevent this from happening again.

I'm happy that my mum is at Park View and feel confident that she is as safe, well cared for and as happy as she can be. The daytime staff are wonderful - they're caring and kind and not only with the residents but also with families and friends. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend PV.

Each visit we are made welcome and we are always asked if we would like a cup of tea which is also nice.

Each visit we are made welcome and we are always asked if we would like a cup of tea which is also nice. The care, effort, time, and love each carer shows to each resident is absolutely lovely to see each time we visit. Grandma also has lush little bonds with the carers which is also heartwarming. We couldn't thank the staff and carers enough who go above and beyond for not only our grandma but every other resident too. Thank you for having huge hearts and loving our grandma the way you all do, it never goes unnoticed. Grandma is so happy and always clean and dressed beautifully, and always smiling which makes us happy. To each of the carers and staff at Park View "thank you so very much for everything."
Thank you very much for your kind review, we're very pleased that your grandma is happy at Park View and that staff make you feel welcome when visiting the home.
I have found the home is well run and the staff are very helpful. My cousin is happy there and appears well looked after.

The home is very clean and so much effort is put in to make the place look and feel homey. The staff go to great lengths to decorate at holiday times, everything they do is for the benefit of the residents. Over time my Grandma's needs have changed and so the staff have done everything possible to make sure she is comfortable at every stage.
I can say that Park View care home is one of the best care homes in the North East, not just because they run it so well, but because each member of staff genuinely cares for every resident. They do more than their jobs worth every day and I am so thankful for every member of the team .

Staff have been very helpful and supportive at what is a difficult time.
Not been able to comment on food facilities or value for money as we have not enough knowledge of this but if the general appearance of the home and first impression is anything to go by, I'm sure they are good too.
My mum is having emergency respite care after her extensive operation. We were worried about mum’s transition from home to hospital then onto respite. But this worry is not an issue any more as Park View has been outstanding in all areas of my mum’s daily needs. The staff on all levels are...

Park View was recommended to us by a regular visitor to care homes in the area and after our own visits, we were delighted with not just the facilities but the care shown to residents and visitors alike.
My mum's life has changed but now she is in a friendly safe and caring environment and is laughing again. She has settled in far better than I could ever have expected and this can only be down to the terrific care shown by the manager and her team.
They have encouraged, looked after and entertained her and I have seen a huge change in her behaviour, she seemed to be walking better, smiling more and generally seems to be very happy.

Everyone was involved and giving words of encouragement to one of the carers who was bravely having all her beautiful hair cut off to help raise money for a 'Train Simulator' which will benefit many Park View residents.
A truly selfless act from one of the many caring and dedicated staff at Park View.
Thank you for your lovely review, we really appreciate all feedback given.

Amy began working in care in 2015. From the beginning with no care experience, she spent a year out in the community and realised that caring for those in need had quickly become a passion and something that she wanted to do as a career. Amy decided to move into a residential setting and joined St Martins Care at its Park View care home and she has not looked back since. Amy’s first role was as a care assistant. Staring with no qualifications, she was supported by St Martins Care and soon obtained her NVQ Level 2. Straight away, Amy began studying for her NVQ Level 3, which has enabled her to progress in her career quickly. Amy says: “I always knew that I wanted to achieve more. I’m so pleased that my skills and ambitions were recognised and that I was able to progress, firstly as an acting senior before being promoted to senior care assistant. Being able to make a difference in the lives of those who require 24-hour support and even re-enabling those to return home is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do”. Amy is now the deputy manager of Park View and she is grateful to have been given this opportunity. Amy adds: “The whole team at Park View is fantastic and we are one big family, with the residents being at the heart of it. I am proud to be part of St Martins Care and look forward to what the future brings for us at Park View”.
