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

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

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.
