  • 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.

Everything is satisfactory at the home for mum.
Good value for money and the staff are very helpful and friendly and the room is kept clean.
There are plenty of activities for mum to do during the week.

Dad has been taken care of by Park View for a year now. It has taken time but he is settled and happy here. He may not say much but I know he appreciates all the people involved with his care. The carers and all staff are first class. If anything is not quite right, it is soon put right. The home is
very well led by the Manager and her team.

I have been here as a resident since May 2016. I have a quiet, private, first-floor room which I am obliged to pay for.
The management and caring staff are kind, patient, overworked, underpaid I like the home and all the staff but miss having many opportunities for good conversations.

As a first experience of care homes, it has been surprisingly good- all the staff are very caring and friendly. Mum has settled in very well. It is comforting to know she is so well cared for especially as her condition is deteriorating. She enjoys the food provided especially the cooked breakfast.

I visit my wife several times a week. When the weather was warmer I sometimes took her into the park. At other times, I would read to her, in the conservatory or her room, or sit looking into the park watching the birds and the occasional squirrel, or the children in the playground. We would be offered
tea or coffee, and biscuits. Or we would just sit and talk, and reminisce.

Park View is an excellent place. The staff and management treat residents with care, respect and dignity. They are so patient and engage my mother even when she is having a difficult period. They encourage and never give up and are always happy and cheerful. I can turn up at any time and always find
a cheerful atmosphere. I am happy to know that my mother is well cared for and in a good place.

My wife has been in Park View for 9 months and naturally it took some time to settle. She has been well cared for by ever cheerful staff. She now stays in her room mainly, I think, due to the lack of communication with other residents with most having dementia. Her main complaint often mentioned is
how bland the food is. She loves spicy food whereas most elderly do not and the chef has to cook for the majority. The main thing is she is in a safe environment.

I have always found Park View to be a first class residential home. The staff are always kind and caring towards the residents. The home itself is very well run and the hygiene and care are excellent. My mother has been in care for a number of years and I feel that she would not be with us if not for
the care that she has received. Well done to Park View and all of its staff.

It has been a very difficult and upsetting time putting mum into a care home- but Park View has been very patient with mum and she now appears to have accepted the change and is content. This has put our minds at rest and feel the best decision was made and we have nothing but praise for the home and
most importantly the staff.

I've been very pleased with the way Park View have cared for my mother and she is very happy there. I looked at a number of other care homes and found this one was the best for my mother. The staff are all very caring and always have time to chat with the residents.

I have been treated so kindly since coming to Park View. Being diabetic, there have been a few problems trying to sort a diet which suits me but every care is taken to assist with this. There is truthfully not one member of staff who has ever upset me in any way. It helps when everyone is so friendly
and helpful. If I could not spend Xmas with family, I'm sure here would be fine.

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.
