During my two week respite stay I felt fully supported by all the staff who consistently acted in a professional, friendly and caring manner and demostrated a great aptitude to team working. The food was very, very tasty. I also particularly appreciated the regular visits from the physiotherapist who encouraged in me a "can do attitude" and helped me in my convalescence from a hip replacement operation.

After looking after my husband at home for over 20 years from an awful debilitating disease I vowed never to use a care home for him. However this decision was taken away from me due to his and mine deteriorating health. I also have experience working in a care home . Because of looking after him for so long I have very, very high standards regarding my husbands care and was determined not to let his care lapse in any way on admission to Park View. He has very complex needs which I demand are met to a very high standard. Overall Park View has met these standards. There has been issues with my husband's care but with communication with the management and staff and time these have been generally resolved . My experience is any problems have to be sorted face to face and that is the key for harmony between care providers and clients. Overall Management and staff are very approachable with any issues I have.

When first admitted to care home it took a few months for the home to gain understanding of my husband's specialist needs because he lacks capacity and is unable to let staff know what he requires. He cannot hold a vessel to drink himself and needs feeding so it needs regular and experienced staff who understand this to ensure he does not dehydrate and lose weight. He also needs good help to position in his chair and bed correctly and ensure he is kept clean. I speak to staff directly and ask for things to be corrected if not ok and most regulars know his requirements. On the nursing and general health side, records do not seem to be understood and known by all parties, ie hospital/GP/nursing and other agencies.

My 98-year-old mother has been a resident in Park View, Ipswich, for just over three years. She has received exemplary care from everyone. The house is beautifully furnished, clean and welcoming. It is very well designed and managed. All the residents enjoy the food. My mother is no exception. Mum is really enjoying the singing sessions and other sensory activities. These are especially important to her as she is partially blind and very hard of hearing. Thank you everyone at Park View, from her children and grandchildren and their partners. Cheers!

I say to everybody at Park View thank you for looking after me with the food, the activities and the clean room and everywhere in building and garden. Also my cup of tea in morning and drink at night.

Mum was resistant to care and wanted to live in her own home. She became poorly as a result but needed care badly as she was falling and had some serious health issues. The thing is that unlike children adults can be difficult to suggest loving advice to and this can cause stress and concern. The day came that mum eventually was admitted to Park View. This was a turning point. She immediately began to return to her old self due to constant care and attention. Mum began to take an interest in things, though she was always a private person. With help her appearance and personality blossomed. She really loved the food and her room which looked onto the garden. Cheerful company of the nurses and staff did so much to make her enjoy life again. Thanks to Park View and everyone who looked after mum. She was very happy there and gave she and I some peace of mind.

Amazing support received from all members of staff, from reception to kitchen staff, to carers and nurses, everyone was so caring, polite and friendly. Rooms are cleans and all areas well maintained. We couldn't have wished for better care for our mum.

The first impression of Park View Care Home is one of beauty and peace. The bistro area and garden are wonderful. When you move through the building the staff are so friendly and welcoming. In the dining area the staff are cheerful and helpful and the food is delicious. The care that my mother in law receives is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble and every small detail is notes and acted upon. We couldn't wish for anything better. Thank you so much.

The management at Park View were very accommodating from the start. We were able to move Dad in quicker than expected, which proved a big help. From then our experience continued to be positive; the staff are kind and caring and have taken time to get to know our dad. The settings and facilities are magnificent and the rooms are always clean and tidy. Ultimately it is a huge relief to know Dad is cared for and safe at Park View.

My husband was in the care of Park View for 7 months before he died and was treated with respect and kindness during that time. The care home had a friendly atmosphere and staff were always available for me and my family when we visited (which was almost every day) with cheerfulness and practical help when needed. My husband was probably not the easiest of the residents to deal with but he received good care and I know he appreciated that he was cared for at all times. At the end someone was with him in his room and the family and myself were grateful for that. Thank you.

My mother has been at Park View Care Home for just over a month now. All the staff have been very welcoming and have taken great care of her, and she is now settling in nicely. The home is kept beautifully clean, the food is very good and there are plenty of activities, so there is always something to do. The staff are always visible and to hand, so the residents are obviously well looked after. The atmosphere is calm and friendly, and the staff say that their prime concern is that the residents should be happy. Thank you so much to all the staff.

My father was at the home for just a month. As relatives we looked forward to visiting as we felt welcome. The care and food and all the staff were amazing. We can't thank the home enough for dads care and would recommend it to anyone. Will miss visiting and the people. Absolutely brilliant home.

The care home management and staff were exceptional with my mother's stay and the passing of my mother. The friendly atmosphere was brilliant. Thank you for everything.

Very warm, caring environment and all staff kind and considerate. As a family we felt very confident in the care from all the staff. The tone was set from the start with the welcome that our loved one received, and the reassurance given to the family. There was a real understanding how this is a difficult time when your loved one is requiring residential care. Would highly recommend.

All the staff have made my mum feel very welcome and loved. We had reservations about mum going into care but have been really impressed with the transition- aided by the caring team at Park View. She is now happy and settled in her new home.

Hospital deemed my wife required 24/7 care. Myself and family were pleased with the location and quality of the home. Since then, despite being confined to bed, she has received excellent care and attention. Also staff have given myself and my daughter good support during our visits. Would recommend the home to anyone in need.
