Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 94 year old mother moved into Colne View in August following a fall at home . We are so impressed with every aspect of the home. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and are very spacious. There are several lovely lounge areas where we are able to sit with mum for a chat and also a fabulous coffee
shop. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and tidy . It really is home from home. We cannot praise the staff highly enough , everyone is so friendly and caring , nothing is too much trouble and mum has settled in very well. We would highly recommend Colne View, who have welcomed us all as a family. They have made the move for mum an extremely easy and pleasant experience. Well done to all at Colne View !

Absolutely love the home. The staff are so caring, friendly and very helpful, always ready to help out. Their training speaks volumes about their approach and how they deal with some very testing situations. I'm so glad that we moved my mum to this residential home as I can see a massive difference
in her wellbeing.
Big thanks to everyone who have helped and supported my mum so far.

My mum moved to Colne View when the effects of dementia stopped her living independently. She lived here happily for 11 years until she passed away 2 weeks ago. The staff are always very welcoming, kind and helpful and the care, love and respect my Mum was treated with over those years was excellent.

I visited my dear friend for the first time since she took up residence last month. Many reviews on here have praised the home and I would agree completely. I enjoyed the visit and very much looking forward to the next when I can take my little dog in to sit with my friend whilst we listen to the radio.
I am totally reassured that she lives in a kind and caring community. Many thanks for your hard work

Review from Isabelle H (Sister of Resident) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was admitted to Colne View two days after being discharged from an area hospital in a very frail, fragile and unhappy state. She required dedicated nursing care and I was unable to provide that at home. It was a crisis situation for us.
Colne View responded quickly to my urgent request;
they provided a wheel chair, arranged a suitable taxi, and admitted her immediately. I was extremely grateful. They provided excellent care for what were to be - sadly - the last few days of my sister's life. She was finally pain free, her nausea controlled, and she was comfortable and at peace. She was tired and sleepy but demonstrably herself, even cracking a few gentle jokes with my son and I who were with her in that last day.
I shall be eternally grateful to the dedicated staff who nursed her those last few days, and the administrative staff who made admission very straightforward, and to everyone who provided thoughtful and caring support to my sister and also to my family. Thank you.

The care my mother has received since moving to Colne View in October 2023 has been astounding.
My mother lives with Dementia and isn't mobile, the staff are kind, caring and extremely supportive of her needs. They are also supportive of me as a relative, always happy to take time with me explaining
what is happening with my mother.
The home overall is warm and welcoming and the food is of top quality.
Best thing we did as a family was to move mother to Colne View when she could no longer live independently.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Colne View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.822 for Colne View is calculated as follows: ( (410 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 494 Ratings = 4.822
  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 Colne View is based on 42 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 42 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.
