I joined my wife who has dementia (vascular/Alzheimer's) to see how she would cope with specialised residential care. This was a short 3 day taster so far she has coped with being in a separate secure unit. She relates very well to all the staff and was not distressed by my absence overnight thanks to the excellent night staff she has enjoyed the extra facilities manicure/reflexology and music/dance afternoon.

Shinfield View is hugely better than any other care option I could find for my father! The building and facilities are stunning, but more importantly the staff are kind, friendly, enthusiastic and always willing to try and understand and respond to every need. The whole ethos of the home respects residents as individuals, there is a fantastic range of activities, including social evenings (to which not just residents and family, but staff and community are invited), outstanding food, plenty of drinks and snacks at any time, ... read more

I came to look around Shinfied View just after it opened in April 2016 as I could no longer live on my own. My overall impression was that everything was first class! It is exceptionally clean and well decorated. The food is very good and there's always a choice. No matter what you need or want the carers are there and do it. The manager, is always very friendly and has done a great job selecting her staff and creating an environment you want to live in. I have enjoyed all outings, activities and events. We have a hair salon... read more

I feel like I am on holiday, it doesn't feel or look like a care home. The staff could not be any better. Nothing is ever too much to ask for. They are all lovely. The food is like a 5 star hotel. There is plenty of choice, and I don't feel that I am ever rushed. There is everything here that I need. I love going to the salon, the reflexology, and I love to sit in the beautiful gardens. The entertainment is first class and I sit with my friends. Most of all, and important to me, is that I feel safe here.

My father came to Shinfield View for four days respite in June 2016. The standard of care was excellent along with the surroundings and his room. While staying at Shinfield View my father became unwell and was taken to hospital by ambulance unfortunately he was sent to hospital alone. My father suffers with dementia and gets very confused when out of his normal surroundings so I felt it was unacceptable to send him to the hospital alone. Once the Deputy Manager came on duty and found out my father had been sent to hospital s... read more

I have been thrilled with the level of care and support my father has been provided since he moved in. There are often events and entertainment on which are very appropriate for the residents. The food is great and all the staff are very kind and nothing is too much trouble.

Shinfield View is a truly exceptional home. My friend became a resident just a few weeks ago and sings it's praise each time I visit. The residents say all their needs are catered for, they could wish for nothing better. The staff are an incredible team, working together for the health and happiness of their residents. They are always available doing their utmost to inspire, offer support, lend an ear, they are such a happy band, even as a visitor it makes one feel happy just to be around them. In due course if I needed a ca... read more

I have been visiting mum for over two months at Shinfield View and feel the home and staff are making mums life so full and happy. The whole experience is comforting that mum is not just existing, she is thriving. This is the most amazing place. Lovely surroundings and food. The care is exceptional, so many fun events for the residents. I hope that there is space when I need to find a home!
