She enjoys the food and her room is so nice with lovely furniture and a door out to the lovely courtyard.
She has a lovely shower room and it is all kept very clean and so is the care home. She couldn’t be happier and so glad we picked Potton View.

My mother stayed at Potton View for a two-week respite break. I was very happy with her stay as she was treated with kindness, respect and dignity and found it a stimulating environment which has continued to have a positive effect after her return home. She enjoyed the various activities, particularly those involving music and thoroughly enjoyed the home-cooked food. The staff and management are excellent - kind, caring, helpful and professional.

The home was first class. They all cared for my mother in a very professional and caring way. The home was always lovely and warm and clean. The staff were very cheerful. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Endless cups of tea for us as a family always provided.

Visiting my father-in-law is a pleasure at Potton View. Rooms are modern, clean and have a home from home feel. Potton View really is more than a Care Home - it is a home that cares. I thoroughly recommend this home.
My dad, who has sight, hearing and mobility issues moved to Potton View in January 2019 and in only a very short time has settled in quickly and feeling very much at home. The staff are very friendly, courteous, helpful and resident-focused with regards to Dad's well-being. I am very pleased that...
His room is modern, light and spacious with the added luxury of a door which accesses a courtyard giving him independence whilst in a safe environment. Nothing is too much trouble the staff, the food is delicious and varied. When Dad was taken ill with a high temperature the staff acted quickly and professionally ensuring correct action was taken thus putting the minds of the family, unable to be there, at rest.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with Potton View, I would highly recommend it and am so pleased to be a part of this truly wonderful family.

Mum was concerned about losing her independence but realises eventually she will need full-time care and will be happy at Potten View when the time comes.
She is more mobile and looks better than she has done for ages. Thank you so much.
