  • 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.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to the team at Park View.
We truly appreciate everything done over the course of almost six years.
Nothing is too much for the team - the residents come first.
Even after moving overseas, I still felt connected and involved.
Keep up the good work.
Thank
you so very much.

The need for these homes is escalating and we are grateful it is local to the needy of Witham and their relatives. However, I pray I will never need your services.

My mum came into Park View for 3 weeks respite and they have been fantastic! My mum was very introverted at home, not communicating and refusing personal care. In Park View she was happy, initiating conversation and getting showered and dressed every day. She was constantly smiling and happy. Park View
is wonderful!

My Mum was very happy at Park View but she passed away on the 5th November. The staff looked after Mum very well and was very caring. They always welcomed you into the home and offer you tea and chat to you about how Mum is. They always let you know if there is problem and ring you.

My mother has been in Park view for six and a half years. Her care is excellent, the staff are very kind and caring.
Her every need is taken care of. She is very comfortable, warm and well fed.
She enjoys the activities provided when she is in the mood to join in.
Park View has a warm, friendly,
homely feeling and is like an extended family.
As a family, we have so much support from staff, with regular meetings to keep us informed as to what is taking place. Entertainment by staff is fun for the residents.

My mother was admitted to Park View in November 2014 when her Alzheimers became unmanageable at home. The staff were extremely caring in a very difficult situation right from the start. I have found both the carers, management and support staff exemplary in their very difficult roles. I admire and applaud
their patience and professional attitude and have seen them perform above and beyond their remit.

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.
