My experience overall varies between good and very good.
The biggest concern is that of clothes either go missing or my wife wears a garment that doesn't belong to her.
Difficult to know about activities since I visit an hour before dinner (lunch).
Overall, there appears to be a genuine, respectful
attitude (and atmosphere) from the staff towards the residents.
It certainly is not their job because of the wide number of human difficulties passed by their residents.

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to review Church View. We take your comments on board; things do get mixed up on occasion, and we ask you to speak to the home team when you have a concern, as they will only be too pleased to resolve any issue.

A beautifully run home, with a great team, is well managed, clean, bright and always warm for the elderly residents. Rooms always look immaculate, always a great menu of classic meals. The manager is always friendly, welcoming and available to assist with any problems. The resident is always clean,

My mum has been living at Church View for the past 18 months; I and the rest of her family are extremely happy and grateful for the care and attention she receives. Nothing is too much trouble. All staff members are polite, friendly and incredibly good at their work. The manager is always approachable,

Have to say, my mum has been here nearly twelve months and she has settled in very well. Considering beforehand she was in bed 24/7. Since coming here she gets up and out of bed for breakfast with help aids. Staff has been amazing with her (Mum is a non English speaking). Everyone has found their own
way of communicating with her, getting her to smile and all have been very attentive and caring. Cannot find any faults or complaints for this brilliant care home. All I have is praise and gratitude for all they do. Thank you to everyone at Church View for being so amazing.

Thank you, your 'praise and gratitude' are very warmly received on behalf of the home. What a wonderful, heart warming review, which will do so much to provide peace of mind for those who are considering Church View as a forever home for their loved one. Kind regards.

I have lived at Church View for two years. The nurses make sure that I always get my tablets on time. The staff are really nice, like brothers and sisters. My room is great, I have a big room, and I got to choose my own wallpaper and furniture. The parties the home throws are great and we always have
a nice drink at the parties. I've made loads of friends here. I have gone out on trips on the ferry, the pub and the theatre, and I recently went to Southport with some of my close friends and the staff; I loved it and cannot wait till next year to go back. I would like to go home, but I love it at Church View as well.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Church View Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you very much for writing such a wonderful review of Church View. There is nothing better than receiving a review from a resident to get such first-hand information of all that happens from day to day are just a perfect insight for those who are searching for care for a loved one. We are sure that every one of our residents would rather be in their own homes if circumstances were different, but we aim to make the warmth of the welcome and standard of care we deliver make up for the fact that Church View is the place to call home.

My dad has been at Church View Nursing Home for three weeks and in this short space of time, we have felt completely reassured that the decision we made was the right one mainly due to the level of care which is consistently being shown. The staff seem to take an interest in the resident's individual
needs and are always available to help. My Dad is happy and has settled really well at a time when we felt anxious about his ongoing care needs. Church View's manager is always available, not hidden away and always on hand to answer questions and deal with any concerns. Church View is clean and all areas around the home and garden are well maintained. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Church View Nursing Home.

My mum has had three days away with staff and friends from the Church View Care Home at Brunswick Care Home Southport. She had a great time with the staff supporting her to make lovely holiday memories. The staff who took them went above and beyond to make sure they had a marvellous time. The staff
from Brunswick Care Home also went out of their way to make them feel most welcome and enjoy a magical time.

My family and I were invited to the Rodeo at Church View this weekend where a live singer performed songs from the Wild West. The staff facilitated this amazingly and we were offered food and drink along with spending time with Nan. We very much enjoyed our time and thank all the staff for their hard
work in putting this together. We have certainly been able to make memories from the time we spent at the family-filled event. Thank you! Nan very much enjoyed herself.

My dear wife became a resident at Church View Nursing & Residential Home just over a year ago, it hurt me so very much, being married to her for sixty-eight years. But the care and attention she receives at the home are wonderful. The manager is marvellous, so kind and caring. While all her staff are
top-class, to my family and I, the carers and nurses are like angels. So dedicated, to them it's not the money, it's something more meaningful, at the entrance to the home it says 'we are family' and could a truer word be said, "no". I would advise anyone looking for a place for a loved one to contact Church View.
Thank you.

My mum has been a resident at Church View Nursing & Residential Home for two years. She is very happy there and I could not ask for better care and support for her and us, her family. All the staff, including the manager, are superb and feel more like family friends than carers. They all treat the residents
like family members and the care and support they provide is second to none. I could ask for a better care home for my mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Church View Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.893 for Church View Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (471 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 525 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 Church View Nursing & Residential Home is based on 45 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 45 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.
