  • Park View, Witham
Park View is situated in Witham and many of the rooms overlook the parklands. Yet, Parkview’s unique location is such that the heart of the town is a short walk away, giving both peaceful location and the busy town.

Park View has a wonderful friendly atmosphere, and paved courtyards allow the space for outdoor activities as well and all these activities are designed to stimulate, amuse and entertain all of those cared for.

The Home is spacious with beautiful lounges, dining areas and a conservatory, again another peaceful area for either gentle activities or to sit and read or complete a crossword.

In September 2019, it became apparent our 85-year-old father could no longer be my mother's carer. My father and I visited Park View and were impressed at how friendly everyone was and how many activities go on during each day. One of the carers taking us around said 'Guests come here to Live not to
just Exist' and that is so true. Mum has dementia and was admitted in September 2019 and we as a family have been very pleased with the care mum has received. This has never been more apparent than the situation we all find ourselves in now. Park View made the very difficult decision to go into lockdown on the 12th March 2020 knowing it was going to stop relatives seeing their loved ones. This was eleven days before the national lockdown. It was the best decision they made, as yet, they haven't had one case of Covid-19. We fully respect their decision and will support them for as long as it takes. They give us updates regarding Mum and always ask after my father and wish him well.

I can visit my Mum any time of the day and the staff are always welcoming. Mum, who has dementia, has been there for nearly seven years now, having become a resident when my brother became too ill to look after her in his home anymore. She has been very well looked after at Park View and is happy there.

Park View care home is a fine example of a well-run care home with no exception during this Coronavirus epidemic. All the care workers and staff have looked after my mum and all the other residents without a thought for their own safety for which I thank them all.
Although I cannot visit her during
this time, they are keeping me well informed of her health and well-being.

I was a mess two years ago when I had to make the decision to put my friend in a care home.
The assistant manager was great. She reassured me and was very patient and understanding. Over the last two years my friend was treated very well and was made to feel very comfortable and cared for. Thank you
to all the staff and management for their care and support.

Our mother was a resident in Park View for 18 months during which time the staff were extremely understanding, caring and supportive of her needs. At times, mum was reluctant to comply with necessary events (visit from hairdresser, necessary pedicure attention etc) as her Alzheimer's reduced her ability
to reason and understand her situation. The staff were great! They also respected her need to walk and escape the confines of her room, enabling her to enjoy a measure of freedom within a friendly, warm and companionable environment. They were also very supportive to us. They helped us understand our loss as we saw the alert, intelligent, capable and independent person fade as the disease took over. Thank you to everyone. We could never have managed without you!

I have been overwhelmingly impressed with my mums care here. Naturally, I was very anxious when mum was admitted but all the staff have shown outstanding care towards my mum and a real sense of empathy. I love the 'open door' policy and it is so clear there is nothing to hide here. Every time I come
it is spotlessly clean and the staff are so professionally open and friendly. I have no concerns whatsoever.

After living by herself for a few years, Mum was losing her confidence and becoming lonely and withdrawn, she hardly smiled. Mum also had a couple of falls. We were so worried about her that we visited a few care homes and found Park View was just what we were looking for, it was like a home away from
home for Mum.
Mum agreed to visit Park View for two weeks respite after which time she liked it so much that she stayed.
Mum very quickly began to blossom under their care. She was happy, confident and most of all she was safe.
Mum made friends easily with the staff and the other residents and always had a tale or two to tell us. Mum never regretted moving to Park View and always said how lucky she was to be there.
Park View staff are so friendly, always smiling, always said hello, had time to stop for a chat and always offered us a cup of tea.
We are so grateful that Mum received such great care in her years at Park View.

The general care is excellent. Staff are always smiling and helpful. Residents are so well looked after apart from in house entertainment. They get to visit a number of places in the area. Food, drinks and personal care is second to none.

Can I say this care home and all the staff are extremely friendly, caring and helpful whilst my nan was in the last stages of dementia. In the final moments they kept us updated all the time, took time to support us all the way and made my nan so comfortable. I am extremely grateful that my nan had
her last few days there (was there for 2years) with caring staff, and for that we are grateful. Would love to say a massive thank you to all that looked after her and made her stay as comfortable and pleasing as it could have been. I rate this home 5 star. Thank you again.

On my first visit to view the home, for possible placement, I was impressed with the refreshing aroma, throughout the home, I was impressed with the genuine affection and care displayed by the member of staff who greeted me. She displayed calm control of all that was happening about her. This later
reflected the same confidence with all other members of staff.

My Mum went straight to Park View from hospital in January 2019. During the short time she has been there, the staff have been excellent. My Mum is much happier and now eating again thanks to the staff persevering with her and encouraging her. The care home is very clean and tidy and the staff always
happy to help with any concerns, worries or needs. Both myself and my brother would highly recommend Park View Witham.

Over the two year period my Mum has been a resident the level of care and understanding of her needs has been outstanding.
Her last days were cared for with respect and dignity - she passed away in peace and calm.
All the staff are so caring, both for residents and their relatives.
Cannot praise
the staff enough - from management to the cleaners, they all treat the residents with the respect they deserve in the latter years.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for Park View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.727 for Park View is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.727

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park View is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
