Happy that my mother gets a bath while visiting Bankview Day Care Centre as she can't use the shower at home because it is upstairs. She always comes home in a happy mood.

Friendly staff on minibus collecting dad, making him at ease when leaving the house.

My dad has been treated with respect from the moment he became a resident. All care staff and nurses have been great in caring for my dad's needs. Nothing is ever a problem. The manager and office staff are very approachable and always eager to help. I'm glad to have chosen Bankview.

Overall Experience
Being my wife's only carer, I find it inevitable to have the benefit of the care home service on Mondays and Fridays each week.
I find the staff not only helpful but extremely considerate and well aware of my wife's needs. This obviously gives me great peace of mind and respite.

After an unlucky trip and fall on a bad pavement, I was offered a place in Bankview Health and Wellbeing Centre on one day per week a few years ago.
I consider that overall standards are high and that staff and management do a good job with regard to care and support for service users with a variety of health conditions.
Transport to and from the centre is provided, facilities are well maintained and occasional outings are arranged.
Prompting is required when serving food eg bread should be offered with soup and (side) salads with snacks.

A minor personal annoyance is the automatic provision of recorded music.

My mum loves her weekly visits to Bankview. She is so well looked after, she enjoys her keep fit classes, quizzes, crafts and most of all, chats with the staff and residents.

I have attended this day care for the past 3 and a half years. I go 3 days a week and would recommend it to anyone. The staff are excellent, they will do anything to help you without making you feel awkward. The centre is always very clean and has separate rooms for different activities, food is fresh everyday and there is a good choice provided by a chef. I am very happy to attend Bankview and look forward to my 3 days at this professionally run centre.

My husband who has vascular dementia, Parkinson's disease and is diabetic has been a day-care patient two days a week for 8 months. This has been a tremendous benefit to both of our lives, for his part mixing with other people, joining in with some of the many activities, also the personal care and attention he receives.
For myself I have peace of mind knowing I am leaving him with the manager and her kind and very caring staff, who treat him with respect and nothing is a problem for them. We look on them all now as friends.

The place is beautifully decorated. Meals, there is a wide variety nutritious great value and lovely presented. The support/carers are fantastic kind and you can confide in them at any time. Spotless in every way. Gentle exercises every morning, then quizzes, board games, crafts and plenty of activities and our choice what we want to do. Personal care discreetly carried out to perfection. Special treats, i.e parties, entertainment, sing songs and local artists visit. Hairdressers, manicures, pamper sessions. The best day care in the district. I tell everybody to come and see for yourself. Side rooms are available if you want to chill out in the peace and quiet. Bon Marche and studio club agents show us goods to buy.
