After a lengthy stay in hospital following a cardiac arrest, my wife needed a period of Respite Care during April 2025. I researched potential care homes in the area and visited a few. Shinfield View appeared to be a good choice and they were fortunately able to schedule an assessment of my wife within a short period of time. My wife has now completed her Respite Care and is now back at home in a much improved condition compared to when she went into Shinfield View, both physically and mentally. This improvement has been imm... read more

My wife went into Shinfield View in November 2024, and from the first day I could see that the carers were kind, considerate and understanding. My wife was resident on first floor due to her Dementia diagnosis. My wife settled in well and enjoyed the food and activities. I and members of the family visited regularly and we were always made welcome and kept informed of my wife's wellbeing and activities. One highlight was being able to have lunch in the Bistro with my wife whenever we wished, which she really enjoyed. As time... read more

I'm delighted with the care received for my mother. Staff are lovely and truly caring and approachable. Facilities are great, of special note are the organised events. The property is always clean, food is good.

My dad first went to Shinfield for respite, beginning of September he needed to go in permanently due to his decline with his dementia. The move was smooth and Dad has settled in really well. From management through to all the staff, were so kind and caring and helped all of us navigate this change. Because of the dementia, there have been a lot of ups and downs with my dad's health, communication has been excellent every time. Would definitely recommend this care home, I feel happy that my dad is being looked after well.

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that your dad's transition to Shinfield was smooth and that he settled in well. The manager and the team strive to provide compassionate care and support and it's heart-warming to know that this has made a positive difference for your family. We're always here to help navigate any challenges together and your recommendation means a lot to us. Thank you.

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

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.
