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

Thank you so much! It is our pleasure to have Mum with us, and she really has settled so well.
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

Thank you so much. We love having Mum with us, and welcoming you all to our Shinfield family. She is settling really well.
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

Thank you so much! We love having mum with us.
Parents originally went into the home for one month's respite back in October 2021. Due to circumstances, this was extended. Parents are now both full-time residents and have both expressed satisfaction with the service they receive. Whilst any care home will never come close to their own home, Shinfield View does try its hardest to do so. All staff are friendly and approachable, and all staff know parents names. My parents, who are not high dependency by any means, have named points of contact for their daily needs and have... read more

Thank you so much, Chris! We love having mum and dad with us and they have settled so well and most certainly are part of our Shinfield View Family.
Although my mum wasn't at Shinfield View for very long, I was very happy with the care she received there. Very happy and helpful staff. We were always made welcome.
Business response:
Thank you so much, Lynn; it was lovely to have mum with us for that short time. Hope you are all well. Take care.
First-class care was provided. When my mum went into care, there was every reassurance given. If I had any questions or concerns, they are dealt with almost immediately. Lots of activities going on during the day so my mum wasn't left sat in a room on her own. Considering the continued difficulties due to Covid, they are managing this effectively and communication is good. The staff are warm and friendly and doing an amazing job.
Business response:
Thank you for your kind words, Sue. We really enjoy having your Mum with us, and she has settled in so well.
My brother and I moved our sister here in March following a very positive recommendation from a family friend. She has advanced dementia. We have both been really impressed by the way she has responded to the move. She looks much better, mainly due to the personal care she receives from the staff. They ensure she is well-groomed, and this is something that would have been very important to the person that she used to be. All the staff we have met have been interested to know about her life before dementia set in, which I thi... read more

Thank you so much, Pauline, we love having your sister with us, and it has been such a pleasure getting to know you all.
My father went into the home after having a fall. It was decided that he needed to go into full-time care, and Shinfield View was recommended. After a shaky start, he has become more animated, able to remember activities, healthier and in his words, "quite likes it here", which from him, is praise indeed. My sister and I are overjoyed at his progress. We cannot thank or fault the staff for their care, enthusiasm, joyousness in dealing with elderly people and their families.
Business response:
