From the initial visit my mother-in-law stated " I feel safe here" We felt that if there had been an available room at the time Mum would have moved in then. After only a few weeks the opportunity to move came up and with the expertise and support of the management and admin team a move was so easy
to complete. Mum has said that she is enjoying herself but may have to buy more clothes as the food is so good she will be putting on weight. I would recommend this home to anyone.

The staff and management are all fantastic at Park View Care Home. They're very friendly, caring and respectful towards my mother. Every time I come to see her she looks happy and well dressed. The activity staff are amazing with her and all the other residents as there is always some sort of activity
taking place. I would highly recommend Park View.

I can't speak highly enough of all the staff at Park View care home. We as a family are always made to feel welcome and they have looked after my Mother exceptionally well. There are good activities put on from movie nights, puzzles, gardening, etc. and the variety of food is fantastic. Thank you all

Park View is a well-run care home with committed and caring staff. When I visit my mother her room is clean and organised and she is always well dressed. The home is airy, has good food and regular activities. Should I need to speak to someone regarding my mother's care there is always someone around.

Since my mother has been at Park View I have noticed great progress in her day-to-day well-being. The staff are patient with her and don’t rush her when providing care and when I visit she is always clean and well dressed. My mother is a very active person and loves taking part in the activities put
on and there is a lovely garden area with raised flower beds which she enjoys spending time in.

My mum has been very happy since moving into Park View. She struggled with day-to-day living on her own at home and since making the move into Park View she seems much happier, less stressed and in better health. The staff are very caring and they put on regular activities and events for my mum and
others to take part in.

Having to find and place my dad in a care home was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I looked at several care homes before choosing Park View. The home is clean and tidy and there is plenty of outdoor space where residents can go out into. I have found the staff to be friendly and should
I have any queries about my dad's care I am able to discuss these with the manager.

My mum has received nothing but professional care and support from the staff at Park View Care Home with there being staff on hand 24 hours a day. There are daily activities which take place and that my mum enjoys taking part in as well as outside entertainers who come into the care home. Park View
also caters for my mum's dietary requirements and her room is kept neat and tidy.

Park View Care Home is a fantastic care home with it being modern, well kept and clean. My father has dementia and requires a high level of care, however the staff are really patient and care for him so well which is evident when I visit. Would highly recommend this care home for anyone looking for
a place for a loved one.

Park View Care Home has provided incredible, compassionate care towards my mother, the staff really do go the extra mile. I have every confidence in the staff from the carers, housekeepers and management that when I leave from seeing her that she is in safe hands. Her room is nicely decorated and well-furnished
with other facilities within the care home being kept and maintained to a good modern standard. I would highly recommend Park View.

All things considered, I am very happy with the care my mum is getting at Park View. It's never an easy thing when a loved one has to go into care, however during my mum's time at Park View, I have found the staff to be honest and exceptionally caring towards my mum. When I visit her, Park View has
always been clean and tidy and the food served at meal times looks appetising.

From the start of my search for looking for a care home for my dad, I have never regretted choosing Park View. They have been professional at all times, viewing the home was straightforward, any questions I had were answered and it is clear that the care and wellbeing of the residents is their number
one priority as when I visit my dad from his appearance alone can tell he is being well cared for. The food is good with Park View doing its best to accommodate my dad's likes and have always found Park View to be clean.

I can’t applaud the management and staff at Park View care home enough for the work they do. They have been looking after my dad for some time now and I can safely say they have been doing a superb job caring for him. They have treated him with dignity and respect and whenever I visit him he’s well
presented and they encourage him to partake in activities to keep active. If ever I have any questions about my dad the manager is always at the end of the phone to speak to me. Thank you all for the work you do.

My mother receives a very high standard of care at Park View Care Home with the staff being very committed and providing very person-centred care. Her room is bright, spacious and well furnished. The food is lovely with there being a choice of meals to choose from and the manager is very approachable

Mum joined the care home in December 2020. Since this day the care she has received has been outstanding. Every single member of the Park View Care Home takes time to acknowledge you when you visit and demonstrate their care, respect and total understanding of mum when we see them with her. We are looking
forward to the day when we can go inside the home as sadly Mum entered when the Covid lockdown was in place. We have been kept fully informed of her well-being and the team are more than happy to discuss any questions or concerns we have. Arrangements for visiting are clear and are organised in a way that ensures Mum and everyone else is safe. Thank you to the manager for your outstanding professionalism and to all the team for the outstanding care they give.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Park View Care 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.947 for Park View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 Park View Care Home is based on 11 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
