The downstairs rear bedrooms have ease of access to the courtyard garden through their own patio door.

My mother has been a resident of Viewpark for nearly 4 years now. She has advanced dementia, and as a result of her worsening symptoms, I am so grateful that I moved her there when I did. I can totally relax in the knowledge that I can visit at any time, to find her content, clean, well nourished and
being treated with the dignity and respect that any vulnerable adult should expect. I am always contacted if the nursing staff have any concerns whatsoever and they have a very responsive relationship with the local GP practice. My Mum's bedroom is her safe space. Always very clean, her personal possessions looked after, a pleasure to sit with her there. Home cooked food, two hot meals a day and delicious home baking. The activities are varied and stimulating. I'm a Registered District Nurse and Viewpark are the best Nursing Home that I visit in the area. AlI the staff are so caring and patient beyond words. I'm so happy to know that Viewpark will be the last place my Mum will call home.

Reply from Adrian Lewis OBE, Strategy & Training Director at Viewpark

It is this level of review that tells us we are doing the right things, both well and consistently and is a credit to our staff and the management team and shows our quality policy and audits are working. The understanding, involvement and good communications with the resident’s family members is of paramount importance. Thank you for your detailed and wonderful review. The sentence “I’m so happy Viewpark will be the last place Mum calls home” says it all.

My father's stay at Viewpark, for the last four months of his life, was wonderful. The care that the staff gave him and the happiness that they gave it with, could not have been greater. I know he felt safe there, which also gave me total peace of mind. He was comfortable and content there. All my family
have nothing but praise for the Viewpark staff, and so did Dad, either with words or with his heart.
