I visited my dad for the first time today I was so thrilled to see him at peace here and relaxed. So settled. I found myself overwhelmed by the whole experience of visiting today.The effort that has been put into creating an environment that is so welcoming and comforting for residents and relatives is amazing. So far from what I expected and have seen in the past. All the staff acknowledged my presence and all seem so happy to be working in this home. I am confident my dad will be looked after.

After being in other care homes over the past 10 years it is a joy to be in one that really cares. The staff are attentive and supportive and nothing is too much trouble. It is the best home I have seen since mother went into care 10 years ago.

Everyone at Forest View was so kind to my mum in her final few months of what was a cruel and hideous illness. They helped make her feel comfortable and at home and recognised the things that were important to her, and that meant her family (myself and my daughter) felt 100% confident that she was being looked after as well and as compassionately as she could be. That means so much to us. Thank you.

There is not enough I can say about the way my wife was treated. I am more than satisfied. The staff were always helpful and kept me informed of how she was. A special thank you to the office and the team leaders who were always compassionate and cared for her and me.

Forest view has provided excellent care for my younger sister who has early onset dementia. She has been at the home for over a year now and the team at the home ave been kind, caring and proffesional. The home has kept the family informed as we all live a distance away and our visits can be limited.

My mother has been here for a few months now and the carers go out of their way to make all residents comfortable and happy. They have incredibly difficult roles and always remain happy. My mother has settled in well. Thank you!

The home has been amazing. They have made my mother's life worth living. The staff are absolutely amazing and have made sure my mother has settled in so well. They have all made every effort to ensure she feels welcome and not a burden to anybody and have given her a quality of life we could never have dreamed of. She has certainly improved under their care and supervision.

My dad has really settled in at Forest View, whenever we come to see him he seems happy and content, clean and tidy. He seems to enjoy the food and activities, most of the staff are happy to talk to you about any concerns you have and management is great.

My aunt was at Forest View for approx 6 years until she passed away in September 2024. My aunt always received good care and was always encouraged to join in with weekly social events. Given the option of attending religious sessions held in the home which she attended on occasion. The kitchen staff would respond to her requests for meal options. In the last few months, my aunt needed palliative care which Forest View agreed to carry out as they felt moving her on would not benefit her and care was excellent in this period. I would recommend Forest View for their care and excellent approach from management, care staff, cleaners, kitchen staff and activity staff, they made Aunty's time at Forest View a very good experience, thank you all so much.

Forest View not only cares for the resident they care about the whole family. Since my mum moved into the home a few months ago the staff have given her the most exceptional personalised care and sensitively communicated with me and the rest of my family any developments. The facilities are good, with lots on offer for the resident's activities wise. There is a good buzz in the common areas with lots of spaces to go when you visit. The en-suite bedrooms are also large, with lots of space and storage for residents to feel at home, the memory boxes they use in activity sessions and the magazine are also great extra touches making the home a special place to be.

I would like to thank everyone who cared for my mum so well at Forest View, from the laundry and housekeeping staff who kept everything so clean, to the catering and ground staff, the hairdresser, the activity co-ordinaries, admin support and of course the wonderful carers. Mum sadly passed recently but the staff supported her and our family throughout which was very much appreciated. The manager you can be very proud of all your staff. Thank you.

My friend has been a resident for two years now. The staff are wonderful and look after her so well. She is always well presented, and although her dementia is a problem the staff make sure she is always involved with all the activities. Forest View has a very positive attitude and tries to include current themes, such as a D-Day celebration. Forest View have a close relationship with the local church and often takes a few for a walk to the church where they have a lovely little tea room. All in all my friend is being at Forest View is excellent for her. Thank you all so much.

So happy Mum has settled into Forest View so well. The staff are amazing. They are all very friendly and attentive. Mum can be very difficult to deal with sometimes but they always deal with her in a kind and efficient manner. I couldn’t be happier with the care she receives and am relieved that Mum is getting the help she needs.

Me and my daughters are very pleased with Forest View Care Home. My husband can be difficult and demanding at times. The staff are very good and have encouraged him to participate in some of the activities, which he would not have done before he came to Forest View. We are kept informed on any health issues, which are treated promptly. The staff and carers are very friendly and the home is bright and clean.

The care home has offered a level of compassion, professionalism and dedication exhibited by the staff has been truly amazing. The warmth and genuine concern for the well-being of the residents have created a comforting and positive environment and has not gone unnoticed. We really can't thank the team enough.

Forest View has a nice ambience, and the staff are friendly, demonstrating admirably to residents the care in caring. Food is freshly prepared and of good quality, and the hygiene of the property and the residents is excellent.

My partner has just finished a week's respite at Forest View with a view to a permanent place later. I can only say that the home and staff are fantastic in all ways. Cannot fault in any way.

Always a pleasure to visit dad at Forest View. The atmosphere is cheery and welcoming, and the facilities are clean and fresh. We are made welcome by the staff and always offered refreshments. The acid test, however, is that dad, who now thinks of this as his home, is very happy, and has blossomed under his care there.
