Friendly staff on minibus collecting dad, making him at ease when leaving the house.
Allows him some stimulation, mixing with others and bit of banter with the staff.
Well looked after whilst there.

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.

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.

Review from M F (Resident) published on 29 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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. They always give her exactly what she wants for lunch and she enjoys her tea and toast on arrival and numerous other cups in
between. She says that she is cherished at Bankview.

Bankview Care Centre has proved to be a very supportive environment for my husband. Staff treat both him and me with the utmost respect and the care provided is of a very high standard.
My husband gets up in the mornings, he looks forward to attending.
The centre is well organised and clean and every
member of staff is helpful and goes out of their way to provide care for my husband. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this.

The staff are all very friendly and caring. The meals are all fresh and really good value and there are always activities with other service users and staff. There are also outings occasionally to places of interest or for lunch etc. I really like going to Bankview and spending time with people my own
age group and my family don't worry whilst I am there because they know I'm well looked after.

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.

Review from Nancy (Wife of Resident) published on 10 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Simon M (Resident) published on 10 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Minor points.
1) Transport to Bankview is poor. Temperature in bus is very low. Often at Bankview, both doors are left open.
2) Do we have to be seated 25 minutes before lunch is served?
Reply from Julie Merrick, Service Manager at Bankview Day Care Centre

Thank you for your comments Simon.


The bus transport is provided free of charge and we have offered you the option of taking a taxi, which you have declined.
Blankets are provided on the bus and have been offered to you to use.
Lunch is normally served within 15 minutes of our service users being seated, however, as you have mentioned this before, we always ensure your lunch is brought to you as soon as it is ready for you.

Review from Margaret M (Resident) published on 6 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
