Deer Park View Care Centre in Teddington, named because it overlooks the historic Royal hunting ground of Bushy Park, offers residential, nursing and dementia care.

The home is organised so as to create a homely and social feel with a comfortable lounge and social areas.

The specialist dementia training equips the hospitality team and chefs with the skills and knowledge to stimulate senses and increase creativity in the cooking and presentation of food. This can provide a much-improved dining experience for residents living with dementia and or dysphagia.

Deer Park View Care Centre has the feel of a small hotel. Nice reception area and a happy buzz. It is clean, warm and all the staff, without exception are friendly and communicative. Residents are treated with respect and good humour. Attention to detail is excellent.The activities are well planned
and broadly appealing. The Pet Therapy and 'visiting farm' were particularly popular with my father. Access to physio and medical care is extremely proactive. My father is never lonely, someone is never far away with a friendly smile or greeting. A really lovely place!

All the staff are caring, compassionate and extremely helpful. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. Everywhere is kept clean and tidy and it has a lovely homely feel. There are a variety of activities and exercise classes and residents can choose what they want to participate in. It is a relief

My grandmother has been at Deer Park View for three months now. All of the staff have been welcoming and caring. They have helped her settle into a routine and look after her needs very well. It's lovely to be kept informed by the nurses and staff and communication is excellent. I would recommend this
home to others highly.

My father was admitted following a decline in his health and mobility. After many discussions, he finally agreed to leave his home and move into Deer Park View, which would be nearer to me. Everyone was supportive on his arrival, making him feel welcome, which helped him confirm that the move was the
right thing to do. All the staff are supportive, friendly and respectful when delivering care, medication and changing his dressings. Cannot fault them.

It was with great sadness that my husband and I decided we could no longer manage to look after Mum at home and that she would have to go into a care home. When I looked around Deer Park View, it had a friendly feel about it. Mum wasn’t keen to move at first, but she settled in very quickly and always
has a big smile on her face. Deer Park View made the move very simple for us as they did things like label all Mum’s clothes and arrange all the details for change of doctors, etc. I was very impressed that they also had a discussion about end-of-life care so that we don’t have to have that sort of discussion at a more difficult time. There are lots of lovely, friendly staff around, and they take wonderful care of Mum. Mum has been able to have her favourite newspaper every day, which means a lot to her. We are always greeted with happy, smiling faces whenever we arrive; it feels like one big family.

I recently spent 14 days of rest and recuperation at this care home. Initially, the prospect of this stay caused me some concern but in the event, my misgivings were short-lived. The home was very comfortable and well-run and the staff were excellent. Their efficiency, kindness, patience and cheerful
disposition helped to make my stay a very pleasant one. I would not hesitate to recommend Deer Park View to anyone who has the need.

My husband was admitted following hospital treatment after a bad fall and was diagnosed with mixed dementia prior to admittance. I didn't know what to expect and knew nothing about dementia. The nursing staff and carers were kindness itself, both to me and my husband. One or two problems as time went
on and I was lost in a maze of assessments and legalese but the manager helped me through and was always on hand.

I feel very grateful that we were lucky enough to find Deer Park View.
My partner came to stay after a hospital admission in 2021 which then became long-term - the manager was really supportive and helpful at a very difficult time. I had previously discounted residential care for him based on visits
to other care homes, but his dementia had progressed to the point that it was really the only option. The staff at Deer Park View Care Centre are all absolutely fantastic, always cheerful and very kind and patient. They are evidently genuinely fond of the residents. I know my partner is safe and well looked after. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is great. Visitors are made to feel really welcome. I cannot recommend Deer Park View highly enough.

Staff are always very professional and caring. Everyone is very friendly. Spacious home so residents can wander around, if able, rather than just be stuck in one room in front of the TV. Rooms are bright and pleasant and feeling that residents are safe and well cared for.

My mother is very well looked after by the staff and the location across the road from the park is ideal for a simple outing for fresh air and the occasional picnic. My mother has been at Deer Park View Care Centre for almost seven years and I've had no cause for complaint.

The manager and staff are always helpful in every way and kind to all the residents.
I have never seen them be unkind even when the residents are being challenging.
They feed my husband at every meal and keep him nicely shaved and well dressed and see that he has regular haircuts and chiropody.
They
take great care of his health, day and night.
They engage him in activities and make him laugh and do their best to keep him happy.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for Deer Park View Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.835 for Deer Park View Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.835

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Deer Park View Care Centre is based on 10 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.833

  • 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.

Michael Smith

Job Title: Home Manager

Originally from Scotland, I started my working life in banking, before deciding to complete a university degree. I then took some time out and travelled around the world to Australia. I have now worked in care for 14 years within sheltered housing, extra care housing, care homes and nursing homes.


As Home Manager it is my job to listen to our residents, lead the team, answer queries from families and ensure all our compliance requirements are met. I want to ensure that my residents and my team are happy and seeing that brings me joy in my role. I love to create a warm, welcoming vibrant home and make an impact.


The atmosphere is extremely important and it ensures that everyone I am responsible for feels part of our community and that each day is a good day and strive for positive feedback on what we do.


I believe everything that we do at Deer Park View, we put our heart and soul into it, we are passionate about the work and believe in improving the lives of our residents. I always hope to have a positive impact on the place I work in and ensure we have a lively, full, and happy home.


My biggest achievement was completing my Social Work degree whilst working. I have lived in the local area for over 5 years and one of the highlights of our location is Bushy Park just across the road. We also have Kingston nearby with lots of shops and activities.


My passions are my family and football. I have two young children and love all things football. I still support Celtic and many years ago adopted an English club which I still follow – Liverpool.
