About this business
An all-inclusive price package is our way of helping to alleviate some of the stress from the process of moving into a care home. It means that everyone in the home is free to enjoy everything together and the worry about finances every month is a thing of the past. Whether it’s hairdressing, a trip out, entertainment in the bar bistro or simply having friends over for Sunday lunch, nobody need worry that they will receive an extra bill. You can see in detail what’s included in this fantastic package on the all-inclusive se... read more

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 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
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
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
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
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
I have known about Shinfield View's consistently excellent care for some time because another relative has been well looked after there. I was certain that my mum's quality of life, overall health and sense of purpose and joy would improve if only I could persuade her to move there. And this has been the case, without a doubt. It was a difficult process to get my mum to accept the need to leave her beloved home but everyone at Shinfield View made it as painless as it could be. Due to the warm, loving care and attention to th... read more
We looked at many care homes before we chose Shinfield View. As we were being shown around, I could imagine Mum being happy there. It felt luxurious as well as homely. The residents all looked happy and busy with activities, and there were lots of friendly and jolly staff. Mum is there now and settling in. It’s never easy when you realise that your loved one needs to be cared for in a home, but the staff welcomed Mum with open arms and made her feel very special. She’s now enjoying the delicious food, the company, and the ma... read more
Moving a parent into a care home is a big decision, especially when the individual has dementia and does not understand why they cannot stay at home. However, we did make that decision last July for Mum's own safety, and the team at Shinfield View have been brilliant. Despite being made very welcome by friendly, caring and professional staff, it did take time for her to settle, but she does now seem to have got there and refers to Shinfield View as her home and says that she enjoys living there. She participates in the activ... read more
