Shinfield View is a beautiful residential home. It is a pleasure to visit my mother in such a light, bright and luxuriously furnished property. The food is fabulous and the chef is really friendly and interested in nutritious food. The staff and carers are wonderful and so patient with the elderly residents. The activities are fun and keep everyone included. They also have 2 levels for dementia patients, forgetfulness is one area and heavily dementia is another. 

Business response:

We love having your mother here and I am pleased you are happy with your choice.

Extremely impressed with the facilities and the level of care that is provided at Shinfield View. My mother is settling in very well and has made lots of friends. I am so pleased and relieved that my mum is comfortable and content and enjoys all the activities that are provided at Shinfield View.

We are glad your mother has settled as well and we enjoy having her here.

My Gramps finally decided that he needed some respite care and we have found this truly amazing place. He moved in today for a couple of weeks, and the difference in him in just a couple of hours was quite remarkable. We've not seen him smile or want to eat a proper meal for some time, and both he achieved today. The kindness shown to him, my parents, and us (granddaughter & husband) has been just wonderful. Shinfield View resembles a 5 star hotel rather than a care home, staff are friendly, compassionate, and treat every... read more

I'm glad we could make the difference and your Gramps is a lovely man and a pleasure to look after.

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. 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind review

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. 

Business response:

We love having you in Shinfield View and its great to see our residents appreciating are great events.

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

Business response:

I am glad your father recovered and we were able to support him whilst in hospital for the day. Furthermore I am glad he enjoyed the rest of his stay.
