My wife and I recently spent a week respite care at Park View which was first class from the day we arrived till leaving. The management and staff could not do enough for us. They were all so kind and helpful and our accommodation was like a four-star hotel. If in the future we need it to stay longer
in a care home Park View will be our first choice.

My 98-year-old mum has always been fearful of care homes, mainly of the potential to be surrounded by ailing people. In the event, she found her 10 days much of a surprise, and her preconceived ideas were largely dispelled. Being confined to the top floor made it easier, though she suffered from the
heat a lot up there. A trade-off in opening the windows and then allowing the noise of traffic in.
In every aspect, she said she was well cared for by your lovely staff members.
She enjoyed getting out for the barbecue but was shocked to see so many wheelchair-confined people from the lower floors. It has made her so much more grateful to be still active. So that has been an eye-opener for her.
She enjoyed her meals but thought she’d eaten too much on occasion.
When leaving, the staff said, “hope we see you again”, to which she replied, “ I hope not”. She’d thought they’d meant when she was incapacitated, not meaning to be hurtful as she’d be happy to return again for respite. Thanks all.

Small touches made a difference - flowers in from and welcome card. Staff very welcoming and caring, knew visitors names and greeted warmly, own kitchen on site was appreciated. Although for respite, so short stay, was a positive experience for the whole family.

A great experience from the moment we went to took a look around, to the one-week respite stay, which my mother enjoyed immensely. The surroundings were fresh and state of the art and the staff were professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and my mother got to take part in activities
and enjoy food which she wouldn't necessarily have in her current care environment. She is already looking forward to her next visit which also means that we can now look forward to our next family holiday, knowing that she will be looked after and enjoy her stay at Park View.

My mum stayed for 10 days respite care. Was her first experience of care homes. She was anxious about being left without her immediate family. We looked around other local care homes. Park Veiw is purpose built therefore practically everything is right. The rooms are spacious, Mum had a choice of three
rooms and choose a room with a wonderful view of the park. The staff were so lovely and kind from the start. When we collected Mum after a much needed rest . She was happy and had made friends with residents and staff alike. Food was amazing, Mum particularly enjoyed the daily cake trolley!

Park View provides a bright, positive establishment with caring, observant staff. Staff to resident ratios mean that there is always someone nearby to help if needed and the overall impression is of a professional, well-organised and well-run care home. Since Mum moved in she has brightened up considerably
and now considers the place to be home.

I was recommended Park View Gloucester by a family friend, the best thing that ever happened. They care - it is as simple as that. They looked after my dad as one of their own family, and they helped him and the family. Nothing ever seemed too much for them, even though you could see they had so much
to do. Always calm and caring, looking after each and all, they knew their ways. I cannot speak any higher of them. Thank you, Park View.

Reply from Pia Potter-Farrant, Operations Manager at Park View Gloucester

Thank you so much for your feedback. It means so much to us to hear how happy you were with Dad's care and that you know how happy we are to have been able and privileged enough to provide it for him.

Two weeks of respite care. I thoroughly enjoyed the frequency and variety of activities. The food was excellent, and the care I received was of a high standard and appropriate to my needs. One small issue, the lack of height of the commode meant that often two carers were required to raise me from it.

Reply from Pia Potter-Farrant, Operations Manager at Park View Gloucester

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and thank you for your positive and useful feedback. I note the issue with the commode, and I will investigate solutions and put measures in place to improve the issue.

I am staying at Park View for a period of convalescence and have found the home to be bright and airy and beautifully clean. The care staff are very helpful and attentive to all. The food is well cooked from scratch on the premises and there are always alternatives should I wish.

The management and staff are outstanding. Facilities are spotless and beautifully maintained. The meals are varied and well presented. Mum's room is always spotless and tidy. In addition to chats with the staff, when I visit I also receive a weekly telephone call advising me of any changes to medication
and Mum's health in general. The problems caused by Covid-19 were handled with great professionalism, consideration and quiet confidence.

I would like to relay my sincere appreciation for the support, guidance and care provided to a Park View Temporary resident.


The manager of the provision has been extremely helpful in supporting her through a difficult transition with her housing and care. She is currently homeless and accessing

housing support with a number of care and support needs. The operations manager has personalised her care and support so that she feels valued and accepted amongst professionals and residents within the setting, enjoys a range of activities and receives emotional support when she is feeling low or nervous about her current situation.


I am grateful that the operations manager and her team have made her transition a smooth and calm process and continue to provide excellent care and support to her whilst securing alternative accommodation.

Never having had respite care before we didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the welcome we received and the lovely flowers in our room. The rooms were very pleasant and included a walk-in shower. We were able to go to the dining room for our meals. The home-cooked food was excellent
with a varied menu choice or alternatives were available. Personal care was offered and much appreciated. We were provided with personal alarms so that we could summon help 24 hours a day.


There was a schedule of daily activities to take part in we particularly enjoyed the musical concerts. It was lovely to be able to sit out in the garden on the sunnier days. All in all, we had a really enjoyable stay and the respite we needed. If the need arises in the future for further respite care then we would be very happy to return and would recommend Park View to others.

The management and staff at Park View Gloucester are all frankly amazing. They work as a team to look after the residents and it would not be fair to single out just one person for praise, they all deserve recognition! They all work to develop a rapport with their residents and it shows. Thank you Park

Like many people trying to choose the best option for an aged parent, I visited a few different residential care homes before sitting down with my Dad and choosing Park View. I was immediately impressed by the building, facilities, management, the size of the room that was to be provided and last but
not least the staff. Park View is very well managed, is spotlessly clean and the building is nicely decorated and very well maintained.


The care provided for my father has been faultless and it's the small touches to do that bit extra for his comfort and well being that stand out. I am also very impressed with the management of the medical needs that my father has. To do what has been done during the pandemic has been remarkable and to face all of the problems that the staff have had with such cheerfulness and good humour is a real credit to them all. I have no qualms about recommending Park View and I wish to thank them for what they do and how they do it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Park View Gloucester 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.833 for Park View Gloucester is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Gloucester is based on 31 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 102 registered maximum number of service users is 20.4, which has been reached with 31 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.

Charlotte Potter

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2015

Before working in care, my career spanned diverse industry sectors providing management, accounting, administrative and technical services. Now a registered manager with CQC for older people’s services, I first worked in care as commercial manager for Learning Disability Services some 13 years ago. I then found my passion and career ‘home’ when I took a role as care manager in a home for older people. Since then I have managed residential and nursing homes for older people living with and without dementia and love the different challenges that every day brings. I believe that supporting our staff is key to enabling our residents to live fulfilled and happy lives, and my passion is creating a home that becomes a community where families and friends are welcomed – a place people call ‘home’, that feels like ‘home’.


My Fondest Memory is of my father (not known for showing his emotions, and now sadly passed) greeting me at age 19 after some months away from home, by picking me up and swinging me around saying how he had missed me. It took me back to being a little girl when he used to swing me and my sisters around and we would wait in turn to be swung again.

Paul Markey

Job Title: Nominated Individual

Joined: 2016

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1985 after which time I transferred to South Africa, where I spent a further three years in the profession.


In 1989, I decided to put the experience I had gained into practice, by joining the family business. Alongside my brother Tony, we set about successfully expanding the Markey Group into manufacturing, land development, student property and now health care.


We believe the success of Park View will be founded on the family values that we hold central to all our business. The three core strands to our values are, respecting each other, supporting one another and making a difference to individual’s lives, we hope that you and your families experience these values at Park View.

Joined: 2021

I am a customer-focussed Contract and Facilities Manager with a keen interest in the customer experience, either through designing physical environments and experiences, or by driving service and policy change to support a positive experience for all users.
I have experience in supporting the managements of a variety of different public-facing services, either directly through my own and admin support mechanisms, or via the facilities management function. Over time I have worked with a wide range of customers, staff, and stakeholders from all walks of life, all ages and abilities.
I am skilled negotiator and communicator; someone who is patient, compassionate, and takes time to understand people and their behaviours to determine requirements and approaches. I believe that maintaining positive internal and external relationships is key to a productive work environment, and that seeking out community and professional partnerships is essential to inform best practice and keep up to date, share resources and raise the profile of the business.

Craig Sullivan

Job Title: Senior Team Lead

Joined: 2019

I started my professional carer working in the home improvement industry, working originally in admin the moving into a sales role and leading two sales teams. After personal circumstances I decided to change my carer path to which I became passionate about the development of my team to provide a high quality standard of individually tailored care for each person that I co-support.


I worked with people with learning difficulties and challenging behaviours for seven years, four as a senior team leader where I oversaw individual care on a 1:1 basis. I wanted to expand my knowledge on other sectors of care ranging from dementia to nursing. Since arriving at Parkview in July 2019 I have gained knowledge and support to allow me to progress with confidence to my current position.


My Fondest Memory was of my grandad. He was known as ‘Banky’ from where somebody couldn’t pronounce his name properly. We would always visit him on a Saturday at noon and he would always sit in his chair where he would watch grandstand or watching the horse racing on channel 4. He loved sitting in that chair watching sport drinking his tea.

Job Title: Catering Manager

Joined: 2016

Trained at Cheltenham Catering College straight from leaving school in 1982. Worked in a variety of silver service restaurants and Hotels. I then progressed my career to contract catering working in the kitchen sections (Pastry, Mains etc). I was then offered a trainee Catering Manager position with the contract catering company and cooked for the executive dining rooms and workforce, as well as the staff restaurant.


Following this I went to a joint position as a Management couple for Beefeater Restaurants. A career move was made to Unilever foods as a Catering Manager for the next 18 years, catering for executive dining rooms, special functions and over one thousand employees to feed daily. I moved on from this to start my own business as a food hygiene trainer (still am) and although I enjoyed this , I soon missed the Cooking and serving. My passion for cookery helped me make the decision to come and work at Park View when it was offered.


I have worked at Park View for 4 years and have not looked back. I enjoy using my culinary skills to bring exciting new nutritional meals to our Residents.

Since leaving the army I have learnt a number of trades but over the last 20 years have been working on buildings learning each different aspect. I enjoy the variety of working at Parkview because no two days are the same. I have 5 children and 11 grandchildren and lots of grey hair!


Fondest Memory, I remember going to my grandparents in the prefabs making dens with deckchairs in their flowery garden. I became known for eating the flowers.

I have worked in Care for many years working in different care homes and the hospital. I have worked at Park View since 2016 and started as a carer before being promoted up to Senior Carer but then I made the decision to move over into Housekeeping for our Apartments because it gives me a different perspective of caring for the residents and it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to know all the residents on my floor have a beautiful and clean environment to live in.


Fondest memory – my Nan had her snuff in her pocket and always cooked the best roast dinner – she always used to tell me, “Don’t forget to spray your ha’penny”
