We were impressed with Shinfield View from the beginning when the newly appointed Manager and her colleague went to my friend's home at short notice for a pre-assessment. Within two days my friend was welcomed into the home. From our first visit, we always received a warm welcome. The receptionist and carers always had time for us, no matter how busy they were. Shinfield View is a very well-appointed home with a lovely garden and vegetable patch. My friend was a resident on the first floor due to her increasing dementia. The... read more

Thank you so much for the heartfelt words! We always strive to provide the best care and help our residents live well and thrive each and every day!
We were very happy when Dad went to Shinfield View, he was safe there and we were not as worried about him as we had been. Once he settled in, his life there was great, we wish he would go back permanently, but unfortunately, he always wanted to return to his own home. All his needs were looked after; as well, as physically looking after his well-being, his mind was kept active with various outings and activities. He gained friends at Shinfield, both residents and staff. For someone who had previously led such an active and ... read more

Thank you for the kind review, very much appreciated. We loved having Dad here at Shinfield View and we too would like him to move back in permanently as was part of our family here.
Fantastic staff, even if under pressure, still manage to smile, great activities for everyone, everyone will find something they enjoy. Residents are encouraged to join in with activities. Surroundings always look fresh and clean, beautiful gardens to sit out in on a sunny day. My mother-in-law looks very well looked after and enjoys the food, which looks delicious, especially with a glass of wine! Great evening events for families to join in with their loved ones. Turn up at any time and always plenty of staff around and al... read more

Thank you so much, Judy! We love having her here with us! She has settled in so well! Thank you again.
Shinfield View has been caring for my 90-year-old father for the past seven months. The level of care from the entire team during his stay has been outstanding. Dad settled very quickly and happily into the care home and his new surroundings, which, frankly, was a surprise, as throughout most of 2022, he consistently refused to entertain any discussion with his family over his well-being if the conversation ever included mention of care homes! Dad agreed to a one-month respite trial at Shinfield View, and within only a matte... read more

Thank you so much; we love having Dad with us! He has truly become part of the Shinfield View family!
Words cannot even express how happy we were to choose Shinfield View for our mother’s final months of her life. With a sudden sad diagnosis, she knew she could no longer live on her own. The staff at Shinfield View embraced her with kindness and compassion beyond being like family. Amazing location, garden, activities, food and a beautiful large room. We were beyond thankful every single day she was there for the comforts and care she received. Weekly varied calendars of events for all levels of abilities, incredible, plenti... read more

Thank you so much, Rachel; Mum made such an impact on all of us in her short time with us; she will be forever in our Shinfield Family, along with you guys. See you soon.
Shinfield View was the perfect home for Mum to spend her last five weeks in. She loved the location and the ability to still share coffee and chat with her friends and family. Above all, the great facilities and events, the staff and the people at Shinfield View are what make it so special. From the receptionist to the carers, the ladies in charge, the cleaners, cooks, singers and event coordinators - everyone who works at Shinfield View cares for the residents and has a calling and passion for what they do. Thank you all fo... read more

Thank you, Paul; she was such a lovely lady, and we loved having her with us - just wish it was for longer! Take care and see you soon.
My father was very well looked after, and the staff were very kind and helpful. He was encouraged to take part in the activities and not remain in his room. He went home looking very well cared for. He was on respite for two weeks.
Business response:
Thank you so much, Helen, for your kind words about your father's stay here at Shinfield View. We loved meeting him and taking care of him; it was our pleasure. We wish all of you the very best!
What a wonderful place Shinfield View is. It is spotless and so beautifully furnished. The staff are also amazing. But this doesn't take away the fact that all the staff are friendly, kind and passionate about how they care for your loved one and their relatives. Our mum moved here in March 2023, but unfortunately, only had four weeks here before she passed away. She died at the home, and we were all there with her. The staff through the night looked after Mum right until the end and opened up a room for us to take a break, ... read more
A wonderful, friendly home, like a five-star hotel for the elderly. Good continuity of staff - sone for over six years. All staff are lovely, showing care, empathy and understanding for both residents and their families. Residents are encouraged to take part in the varied activity program, including exercise classes, chair practice, trips out etc. They keep an eye on the resident's dietary requirements and intake. They take photos for Facebook to keep loved ones updated. Fun and happy atmosphere throughout. We have both enjo... read more
