Barchester Worplesdon View

We have visited our elderly friend at Barchester Worplesdon View several times and on each occasion have received a friendly and helpful welcome. The high quality of the building itself, the individual rooms for residents, the style of the decor, the cleanliness and attention to detail is matched by the warmth and friendliness of all the staff we have met. Our reunion meal for seven was excellent and the service provided was impeccable. We are pleased our friend has such good surroundings in her latter years and thank you for looking after her and us so well.

Food quality is excellent, the dining rooms are like quality restaurants with tables properly set and an appetising choice of courses at each meal. We are very fortunate to have found Worplesdon View for Mum.

In addition the home facilitated a lovely birthday party for my mother.

My husband has been at Worplesdon View for nearly three years. The fact that he is still here is largely down to the high-quality care and nursing that he receives. Although he is bed-bound, nonverbal and showing little interaction with people, this doesn't stop the staff, including the activities team, from engaging with him and trying to find ways to stimulate him. The nursing and care team have been consistent during the time that he has been resident here, which has really helped too. I can only say how appreciative I am of all the people in all of the teams, for what they do for my husband and myself. Worplesdon View feels like a second home to me. My husband is on puréed food and I want to say that it always looks appetising and tastes lovely! Thank you.

The activities are very very good. I am always impressed by their politeness and enthusiasm. Everyone is talked to by name and encouraged to join in to the best of their ability. My mother enjoys the physical activities, the stretching sessions and volleyball (so do I) and boggle and the crosswords.

The accommodation is light and spacious and the staff are wonderful, patient, caring and sympathetic. I can wholeheartedly recommend Barchester Worplesdon View.

The home has a very pleasant atmosphere, the staff are always very pleasant and willing. It is a comfortable home, the food is good and I enjoy the daily and variety of activities that happen daily.

Staff are very kind, treating Mum with patience.

I cannot express how brilliant Worplesdon View have been. They treated Dad as one of their family and have cared for him so well. Standards are very high, and I can't rate them enough.

Catering is satisfactory and guests are always offered refreshments. Receptionists are always welcoming.

My Aunt has been a resident for some time now after being alone at home for many years. The staff were excellent and made her feel welcome when she arrived and she has flourished with the social interaction that the home offers. The whole family enjoys visits to see my aunt, walk around the lovely gardens or enjoy a cup of tea and a chat. Hats off to the staff for creating such a warm and friendly environment.

Our father was admitted after a fall at home. All the staff were absolutely fabulous. The manager and all the clerical staff were also kind and caring. One member of staff and her amazing team were fantastic, kind, caring, treated dad with dignity and went above and beyond. They also took great care of me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I am a resident through a fall and activities have been a lifeline to me. I enjoy meeting the other residents and really enjoy stretch and flex and other daily activities they offer. It's a happy place and staff are extremely helpful also enjoy volleyball and other physical activities.

My mother has recently moved to Barchester Worplesdon View Care Home and we have been delighted with how well she has settled in. The staff are caring and supportive. In particular, the activities team have encouraged her to try a wide range of activities. There is a great blend of things to do from quizzes to tai chi, from church services to crosswords. The team approach each day with enthusiasm and keeps the residents' well-being at the centre of what they offer. Thank you.

Excellent care from start to finish on my father. Everyone was so kind and caring.

I would not hesitate to recommend Worplesdon View to anyone that has an elderly relative that needs nursing care. Sadly due to Mum's illness, she was only there for 3 weeks. Throughout that time she was treated with dignity and care. My sister and I were also well-supported until the end. I found all staff to be friendly and attentive. Thank you.

My mum lives at this care home it is an amazing place everyone is helpful and kind. There are always loads going on and nothing is too much for anyone to help my mum or the other residents. I am so pleased I chose this home for my mum.

Everyone was caring and professional at Worplesdon View. It is a very difficult job everyone there does and my mum was only there for about a month before she died but I could not think of a better place for her to be. I visited most days and they even managed to get Mum to lunch and dinner with other residents and even a few activities which was so much better for her than being on her own. She even said the food was very nice and even the day before she died had a nice dinner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home and all the staff that I met.

My father stayed for four months until he died. Throughout that period, I found all the staff I came across excellent and a credit to your organisation. No task was too great for them, and the care they showed to my wheelchair-bound father was extraordinary - they treated him at all times with dignity. As an external observer, it appeared a well-led team which worked like a well-oiled machine. Today my father died- the help and respect given were touching and sympathetic - and the manager came in on Sunday to give his condolences.

The staff at WV are all very caring. My father is and has been very ill and I know they do their absolute best for him. At a very difficult time I am reassured that he is safe and being well looked after when the family can't be there. Knowing that he has professional care around him is the next best thing to having him at home.
