Shinfield View is a multi-award-winning, purpose-built care home in the village of Shinfield in Berkshire, providing spacious care facilities within a luxury environment.

Situated just outside Wokingham near the city of Reading, Shinfield View is in a fantastic location just off the M4 and A33. A team of professional and skilled staff focus on the needs of the individual while providing high-quality care services, which include residential care and dementia care as well as respite and day care.

The home features its own cinema room where residents can relax, a fully-stocked bar and bistro area, library, private dining room, spa, hairdressing salon and landscaped gardens. The home sits just across from the village green, where family-friendly events take place throughout the year.

Shinfield View has a full-time events manager who organises activities and events for all residents to enjoy, while the home has its own chauffeur driven limousine for use on days out and special occasions.

The pricing policy is all-inclusive - a single weekly fee covers all care, all facilities and all events. This includes the bar and bistro, fine dining, hair salon and entertainment. It may sound too good to be true, but it’s just Shinfield View!

So glad we found Shinfield View for our mother. We are so pleased with her care in every respect. More importantly, mum is very happy and has settled in very quickly. We can relax as a family in the knowledge that mum is now in safe hands. Thank you to all the staff.

My Mum's rest bite experience was fabulous from start to end. Wonderful accommodation, amazing staff and the attention to detail and care never failed to amaze her or the whole family, who were made just as welcome whenever we visited her. Thank you.

My father, who is 97, has been at Shinfield Care Home since the beginning of November 2017 after injuring himself following a fall and therefore no longer able to look after himself. He has settled in amazingly well and is very happy. He constantly says what a lovely place it is and what a nice room
he has got. Also, he really likes the staff who are all very friendly and caring. We are so impressed with the home. Not only the staff and the facilities but also the variety of activities that are provided and which Dad is happy to join in with. It has opened up a new life for him which he really enjoys and has given us peace of mind to know he is safe and well cared for. We can’t recommend this Care Home highly enough.

Now mum ishas settled well, she's making new friends, best of which are the staff. I know now when I leave her, she's in good hands and I can worry less.


Best of all, the care home brings all our family closer together now.

My friend stayed on respite at Shinfield View and every single time I visited the home was immaculate, the staff were all so welcoming and always offered me to stay and have lunch! My friend seemed very happy there and didn’t have any complaints. Thank you to all the staff that were so welcoming.

This is a very professional establishment with extremely high standards in all areas.


Their greatest asset is probably the staff. Plenty of staff means all needs can be met promptly and cheerfully. No raised voices and no weird smells.


The whole place is spotless. Everybody is treated with dignity.

Need to mention the varied and delicious food too.

Visited my partner's Nan on a Sunday. I was surprised to be greeted by residents dining on the most fantastic looking Sunday lunch I had ever seen!


I was even more surprised when I was offered lunch myself at no extra cost.


When I finally looked around the facilities I could instantly see why

this place appears to be so popular. It didn't feel as though I was in a care home.


Anyway, it was an incredibly enjoyable afternoon. This was in part due to the helpfulness of the staff but in many respects, it was also helped by the amazing food on offer.


I've offered to go every Sunday!

Came to visit my relative and I was extremely impressed with the quality of care and facilities provided by the home. The staff and management are all lovely and very attentive. Rooms are immaculate and the quality of service was beyond excellent. It was obvious that my grandmother and even ourselves
as visitors did not want for anything and it was brilliant that we were welcomed to stay and eat at no extra cost. I would highly recommend Shinfield View to anyone who is looking for a professional and caring home for either themselves or a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Shinfield View 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.958 for Shinfield View is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shinfield View is based on 12 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.909

  • 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.
