Reviews of Shinfield View Care Home

There is something that Shinfield View offers residents and their families which is very hard to pin down. There are other Care Homes with beautiful surroundings and luxurious bedrooms. There are other homes with well trained, efficient staff, excellent food, interesting activities. There are other care homes with shiny brochures and a professional sales pitch. But what is it that I find in abundance at Shinfield View that I have not seen in many other places? It is love - pure and simple. The love comes from the top and filters down. The fact that Shinfield View employs more than the standard ratio of staff to residents, and pays them above the standard rates, speaks of love before profit. This allows staff time to spend with residents who may be distressed, or need the connection; staff who are not constantly overworked can take the time to get to know, and love, the people in their care. And they do. Staff who are treated like family, in their turn welcome in the families of the residents not as demanding irritants disrupting the smooth running of an institution, but as family and as partners in care. Love is not something that can be measured, but it can be felt, by staff, residents and their families. The pandemic has shaken the foundations of the home: the need to safeguard the community from infection has meant that families have been shut out from our loved ones and from the community that we enjoyed. Efficiency has been prioritised over partnership and health and safety over connection, but as we slowly emerge I can see that love has not been driven out, but has persisted under the most difficult circumstances and I look forward to a return to family, community and care at its best.

Shinfield View care for my mum, I can not recommend them enough. The team are truly exceptional. The love and professional care she receives is amazing. She has fun, so many new experiences, she is loved, safe, cared for by a team that consider the residents their extended family.

My sister has dementia and moved to Shinfield View in March. This was based on a very positive recommendation from a family friend. I have been really impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the care and concern they have showed my sister. She looks well, is treated with affection and respect. I could not ask for more

I’ve worked at Shinfield View now for 14 months and I absolutely love my job! It’s like a big happy family of staff and residents and I always look forward to going to work. So many great activities and events organised by our wonderful activities team and the care staff go above and beyond for residents and their families. Management are supportive and every day is different at Shinfield View!

Having worked at Shinfield View for the past 6 months, I can honestly say it’s been my favourite place of employment! I love the ambiance of the home, the team spirit of the staff and managers and of course, our amazing residents! No one day is ever the same but then variety is the spice of life! It’s great to feel part of a team and to know you’re making a positive difference to someone’s day!

I often come to visit my close friend who has been residing at Shinfield View for around the past 4 months and I am always amazed at how wonderful the Home is. There’s always a happy welcome either from the receptionist or a member of staff as you enter the home. My friend never has a bad word to say about her stay here and I can see why. I sometimes stay for lunch - the food is great quality and there’s always a good choice. The carers and other staff such as waitresses have always got a smile on their face and nothing is too much trouble. Other residents look happy from what I see and my friend has told me they have a range of entertainment particularly a show or perfomance on a Thursday night. I’ve not been able to attend one of these yet myself but hope to with my friend in the near future. I’ve bumped into who I believe to be members of management during my visits and they are equally as welcoming and helpful, the manager made me a lovely cappuccino when I last visited and again nothing ever seems too much trouble for visitors and residents alike. I just hope that they continue in this way and my friend is encouraged to keep her independence as much as possible but so far this has been the case. I know her family are also pleased with her care and finding a home that was right was a big experience and challenge for them.

I have been a member of staff at Shinfield View for the past 15 months. It is a lovely place to work. The staff are highly trained and very knowledgeable. I’ve never seen anything like what’s been mentioned in previous comments going on in our home. If I had I’d have reported it. Our manager is really nice and I find her very approachable. If u need her her door is always open. If u are doing your job correctly then there is no problem. On many occasions she has asked to see me just to pass on a ‘well done or good job’. A thank u goes along way. A lot of spitefull people out there.
