Barchester Worplesdon View

My partner stayed there for the 2nd time in respite care while I was away. The staff at the home are very helpful, it is very welcoming, clean and comfortable and nothing is too much trouble.

To date, I have found the home to fulfil all the standards I would hope for and more.

My mother went to live at Worplesdon View in summer 2016. The staff from the beginning have been really kind towards my mother. They do their very best to make me at ease to make me less worried if my mother's health deteriorates. I am happy that mum is so well looked after and just wish I could see her more often. Barchester do a great job with training. What would be great is a pet for the home a cat especially for residents who have Alzheimer's.

Excellent facilities and staff, very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service - kind staff. My experience was limited to 1 week.

The above home has been perfect for my husband's cousin. Caring, clean and good nursery.

My mother was in Worplesdon View for 2 weeks respite care after a stroke. She was very well cared for in a warm, clean and friendly environment. The rooms are generous, the food very good and appetising, and the staff thoughtful and caring.

My wife was receiving end-of-life care, and although her initial wish had been to stay at home, this was not available to us. The Barchester Worplesdon View Care Home provided an excellent level of care and was an experience that was as near to home as we could have imagined. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and they were able to build a personal connection with my wife and with regular visitors, myself included. The management staff were very supportive, and they made sure that we were well-informed and that my wife's stay at the home was fulfilling and comfortable. She was very happy with her experience at the home, even until the end of her life. My family and I are very grateful for the care my wife received and would highly recommend the centre.

Amazing care home, staff are excellent and so friendly, nothing is too much bother for them. After looking at lots of care homes before, nothing compares to Worplesdon View for my family.

I am the owner of a home care agency. I have needed to recommend to a number of our clients a suitable nursing/ residential home when it is no longer safe for them to stay in their own home.

I went to the opening of Worplesdon Nursing Home and was impressed with the facility. I, therefore, had no hesitation in recommending this home to our clients and without exception, all have been very happy when living there. When we had a client who has no relatives, who we had looked after for many years, I needed to be sure about where she went (as I am named as her next-of-kin). This was a lady who was challenging to look after and I was concerned about how she would settle in her new environment!

Things were difficult at first, but the staff were wonderful particularly the Ward Manager and she has settled in beautifully, I am so delighted and relieved. She is mixing socially, eating and drinking better, this has been a great success and I will continue to recommend this Home.

I visited my grandmother regularly and she was happy and content. Carers treated her with courtesy and care. She went out for regular walks around the home.

Our resident has been at the home since 2013. The home is well designed, light, airy, well maintained and clean. The nursing and activities staff always treat residents with respect and make the home a welcome place to stay. However, over the last year, there has not been a permanent General Manager and this has had an effect on staff morale and communication with families.

Plans for a much-needed community space have been on the agenda for the last 3 years but have never come to fruition. Although residents' families have asked at numerous meetings, the proposed plans have never been disclosed and no information given as to an outcome. As a new build home, there has never been a proper garden, just a few shrub beds. Even though the area has been surveyed and plans drawn up for free by horticultural students, nothing has ever come of this. At numerous residents' families meetings over the last 4 years, the garden has been discussed and promises have been made but nothing happens. There is very little of interest for the residents outside.

I enjoyed the soup very much.

I am very grateful to all the staff for looking after my mother with such care and attention at a very difficult time in her life.

Absolutely amazing care. I cannot think of anything that was negative. A huge thank you to the Assistant Manager and Mum's Floor Care Manager.

Staff are friendly and helpful.

I have been going into Worplesdon View since 2012. It is the highlight of my week. I just love going there. It is like a first class hotel. The staff are warm and welcoming, obviously, hand picked. The residents look happy and well cared for. In my capacity, as Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, I have been to many care/nursing homes. This is by far one of the very best, indeed outstanding. It is very clear that at the helm there is a very capable and caring manager. Long may she reign.

Mum didn't want to leave her own home, but living there became impossible. I found Worplesdon View and knew immediately that it was exactly what Mum would love. In the three years she has been living in Worplesdon View, Mum has had superb care and support. Throughout her time there, all has been delivered with kindness and friendship. Mum has made new friends, receives visits from old friends and family and can now enjoy life in a safe and caring environment.

Thank you to everyone.

I have visited this care home on a number of times and have found it to be a very friendly and caring home. Beautifully kept and staff are a real credit.
