Very caring staff, always go above and beyond. Lots of activities for guests and beautiful food in a lovely bistro. Thank you for the care of Mum.
Business response:
Thank you so much, Sue; we loved having mum with us.
From my mother's first to the very last day at Shifield View, the service, care and respect have been outstanding. I cannot single out individual members of staff as they have all been equally outstanding - housekeepers, kitchen, care and activities. My mother's end-of-life care was also very moving and respectful by all involved. Thank you, Shinfield View.
Business response:
Thank you so much we loved having mum with us and being part of the Shinfield View family. Please keep in touch.
A very friendly, well-run care home with excellent activities and catering for everyone's needs who wish to participate. A feeling of friendliness as soon as you walk in through the door. Very pleased I chose this home for my sister - as she says, "we couldn't have done better".
Business response:
Thank you, Marian. We love having your sister here with us and she has settled in so well. Hope to see you soon,
Excellent facility and a wonderful primary carer. Fantastic care from all staff. Mum has been drawn out of her shell and is happy to return. So many activities and encouragement to join in. All the staff know all the residents well. Clean and well-maintained surroundings. Dignity is maintained at all times. Treated as people and not as patients/clients.

Thank you so much for a lovely review, Niki; we loved having mum back with us for a second time. We can't wait to have her back with us. Take care.
Thank you so very much for taking such good care of our nan over the past four weeks whilst she has been in respite care. She has thoroughly enjoyed all of the day trips, entertainment, food and a glass of wine! She has been so well looked after; the staff have truly been incredible, she has formed some wonderful friendships, and she can't stop talking about all of you. The most important part of her stay has been interacting with people; we will encourage her to pop in to say hello as often as she can. She is thrilled to be... read more

Thank you so much, Kate; we loved having your nan with us. We can't wait for her to come back and see us! Take care.
My brother has taught in a primary school and a secondary school for over 40 years. He is a bachelor and was finding it very difficult to cope at home. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and his doctor recommended I find a care home that could provide my brother with the social stimulation that he required. The staff at Shinfield View are all very caring and provide my brother with the respect and dignity which he deserves. The activities staff have tried to ensure that he is included in activities within the care home and i... read more

Thank you so much, Richard - we love having your brother here with us; he brings so much energy to the home.
A happy home! The staff are very kind, attentive and caring, and there is good interaction with the residents and their families. The residents are well cared for. The home is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms have adequate furniture. No one will ever starve during their stay at Shinfield View, as the quality of the food is exceptional and plentiful! For those residents that wish to participate, there is a very popular events timetable. For those that want quiet time, there is a lovely library room or l... read more

Thank you so much for such a kind review; we really enjoyed having Mum stay with us, and we do hope to see you both again soon.
In late 2021, we realised live-in carers were no longer able to meet our mother's needs. We viewed several care homes and were immediately impressed by Shinfield View - friendly, professional and with all-inclusive fees, no hidden extras. Mum moved here in December. Staff have dealt brilliantly with the challenges of Covid and kept us up to date with the home's Covid precautions. They have worked hard to help Mum settle in and enjoy a better quality of life than was possible in her own home. Her mobility has improved and aft... read more
Business response:
Thank you so much. Mum has settled in really well. She is off to Stonehenge today. Hopefully, see you soon. Thank you.
My father has been at Shinfield for just over a year now, having been assessed as not being able to manage at home. As a family, we feel extremely lucky that he is there. We can finally stop worrying about him. The care he is receiving is second to none, and all the staff that make the place function so well are amazing. Over the year, he has had so many experiences that he could never have had being at home by himself. There is always something interesting going on; the birds of prey come and visit, there were reindeer at C... read more
Business response:
Thank you so much Jenny for your kind words, it is a pleasure to care for your dad and we are so happy he joins in with the activities here. We love seeing you and your sister when you come to visit and hope you feel just as at home as Dad does. Thank you for all of your support.
