I could not praise the staff enough, for the love, care and passion they have for all of their residents. The warmth and comfort I personally received will never go forgotten. Always clean and the residents always happy. The care that everyone gave to my grandad was excellent. Unfortunately, we lost
grandad in April but the staff on shift that day took so much care of us as a family. I visited yesterday to say hello to staff and residents and was welcomed with open arms, activities and games being led by staff and the interaction with all residents was great. Each resident is well known and small things to help them feel more at home are thought of and put in place. Thank you to those special people who loved my grandad with us.

Reply from Sarah Copeman, Manager at Abington Park View Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review us, at this most difficult of times for you. As you know, your grandad was an amazing man and was a pleasure to provide support and care to. He touched all of our hearts and will forever remain in our thoughts. You and your family are always most welcome to pop in when in the area. We send best wishes to you all.

The home is welcoming at all times and keeps in regular contact during which it is apparent the staff know and care about the residents. Staff are retained with a low turnover. Any requests are quickly actioned. The residents look well and are clean and tidy. The meals especially the afternoon tea style
of the evening meal are attractive and appetising.

My mum has now been at Abington Park View for over a year. My mum has lost near all her vocabulary to speak and had become very detached, drowsy and seemed depressed. The manager was adamant that this is not normal for a dementia patient and the team have really helped Mum to come back more to herself.
I visit mum twice a week as does her husband. Mum is definitely more expressive even without many words. Mum's wicked sense of humour is back. She teases the grandchildren on video calls again. I have witnessed a few mealtimes. Residents are encouraged to keep as much independence during meals as possible with help available once needed. The staff work really hard and invest a lot of time in getting to know the residents. When I ring up I will be given detailed information about how mum is. We have navigated hospital visits and Doctors with ease. They also have the local church visit along with entertainment which is really appreciated by Mum.

Reply from Sarah Copeman, Manager at Abington Park View Care Home

Hi, thank you so much for your lovely comments, Tracy. We are so blessed here at Abington Park View to come into our Home each day and do what we do. We all feel that there is no better 'job' than supporting individuals to live their lives, in the way that they wish to and we can only do that, with the wonderful support and guidance we receive from families. Thank you once again.

I have found the care given to my mother (and other residents) has been first rate, I can think of no negatives at all. From the manageress, and carers to the cook - all very friendly with nothing too much trouble, regular updates either by email or phone. The home is very clean and well-maintained.
I would not hesitate in recommending Abington Park View.

Abington Park View is a caring establishment where staff understand and support the individual needs of residents. The well-being of residents is their number one priority. Residents are treated with dignity and respect. The care home is always clean and there is a programme of improvements always geared
towards improving the quality of life of residents. The way in which the home has cared for residents during the Covid-19 pandemic is exemplary. I have nothing but admiration for the work of the carers. Abington Park View is a true 'home'.

My husband and I are extremely happy with my late mother-in-law’s care at this home. The staff were extremely caring and kind and did everything possible to make sure her needs and wishes were met. The home is extremely clean and she had a really lovely room with a great outlook over to the park. We
cannot praise the staff highly enough with the standard of care she received, following the upheaval of moving to Northampton from Essex, where she had lived for many years. We would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone who needed a residential home for a relative.

We are extremely pleased with the care. All staff are very professional and caring and we are led by a care manager who goes above and beyond her duties to residents families and her staff. The owners too are very caring and friendly.
The home gives an ambience of one big happy family. When some residents
become upset due to their condition, staff have had good training in overcoming the problem and settle residents in a loving calm manner.
They have wonderful activities eg making Easter bonnets, Christmas parties, celebrating festivals such as Chinese New Year, trips to the garden centre and outings to the local park have also been organised.
Families are also updated on what goes on in the home with meetings throughout the year.

Our auntie was admitted to Abington Park View in December 2018. The owners and the manager did everything in their power to support us and help us make the right decisions. Our auntie is kept impeccably clean and smart, fed very well, kept warm and occupied. The room is lovely and kept very clean. We
can't thank all the members of staff for their hard work. The Christmas activities were tremendous and homely.

My 95-year-old mother was discharged from the local hospital after a fall and was placed in Abington Park View. Due to her very confused state of mind caused by her dementia, her arrival at the home was very distressing and this was compounded by having to wait in the discharge lounge at the hospital
for six hours. On her arrival, the manager met my mother and with compassion and understanding, was able to calm her down and reassure her. The following day I visited and was impressed with the treatment my mother was receiving from all members of staff, they were constantly monitoring her and working with each other to ensure that she became familiar with her surroundings. I was extremely pleased with the work being done by the manager to ensure that all protocols were being followed and she kept me fully informed at each stage. Her professionalism and dedication to the residents and her calm reassuring manner is an inspiration to her staff. I highly recommend Abington Park View.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Abington Park View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 21 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 4.956 for Abington Park View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.956

  • 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 Abington Park View Care Home is based on 21 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
