Reviews for Worplesdon View Care Home

I have the pleasure of visiting Worplesdon View regularly to entertain the residents with music and dancing which we all absolutely love! It is a beautiful home that is welcoming, warm, clean with stunning decor and has the most amazing staff, each and every one of them. They are extremely attentive, friendly and professional ensuring the residents receive the highest quality of care. I absolutely love my sessions here and always look forward to seeing the wonderful residents and the team equally, and couldn’t recommend this home enough.

This is a warm and welcoming place. I am a regular visitor and the residents appear to be well looked after. The activities co-ordinator Romanas is very helpful with our team. All the staff are polite and careful with the residents. The menu looks appetising although I haven't stayed for a meal but they have a coffee bar I have sampled with good coffee always available.

Raz and his Activity Team, Meg and all the other Carers and Nicola on reception all deserve high praise! Worplesdon View is a fabulous facility but would be nothing without the care and enthusiasm of its staff. My mum has been at Worplesdon View just over six months now and Raz and his team ensure she feels included, engaged and mentally stimulated. She has settled in well and is enjoying her time there thanks to the care and thoughtfulness of the team. Thank you to the whole team for everything you are doing.

My mother-in-law has been resident at Worplesdon View since October last year and I am so pleased that she chose this home. Her room is perfect for her needs and the home is clean, bright and welcoming. But it is the staff who really deserve praise - they seem to genuinely care about the residents and are always cheerful. Raz and his team have boundless energy and enthusiasm, inspiring residents (and guests) to take part in the wide variety of activities. My mother-in-law often comments on how much fun she is having! Thank you all!

"I am very sad to hear the news that the exceptional manger will be leaving Worplesdon View this month. He set such a high standard and obviously has a caring attitude, as the turn over in staff is minimal and they all seem extremely happy working there. I look forward to meeting the new manager soon and am hopeful that they will continue with the old managers good work and continuity of happy, caring and extremely helpful staff."

"I found it hard for my husband to go for a two week respite care but soon felt at ease with all the kind care he received. It was also reassuring to find some carers and staff who were still working there after looking after my father six years ago. Everyone was smiley and caring and everything was first class and in turn helped me have a much needed break."

"My wife has been at Worplesdon View since March. The first thing you notice is the cleanliness of the entire building. The staff, no matter what position, or shift, are always extremely polite and welcoming,especially to our visitors. All staff are helpful, kind and considerate to my wife, nothing is too much trouble. We feel it is more like a hotel with nurses and carers than a home. Coming to a nursing home for the first time can be a bit daunting but at Worplesdon you quickly make friends with staff and fellow patients. Everyone has a story to tell and it becomes a family."

"My mum has been a resident for 4 1/2 years and my dad was a residents for 2 years before his death in June 2023. At no point have I had any issues with Worplesdon View. The management and team are wonderful, very open and helpful and the level of care is excellent. My mum is very shy but has built great relationships with the team and enjoys their company. I cannot thank management and team enough for their kindness and for ensuring my mum is extremely well looked after."

"My Mum has been at Worplesdon View for over four years and my Dad was there for over two years before he sadly passed away with Dementia in June 2023. I can not recommend Worplesdon View highly enough. The manager manages and organises a fantastic home. The team are undoubtedly happy, most of them have been there from before Mum arrived. All the nursing staff are fantastic and the carers are so attentive and kind. Although my Mum chooses not to attend any of the wonderful entertainment that the team organise. They still ask her every week and regularly go in to talk to her. All the staff knew my Dad well and really cared about him and his wellbeing. They know Mum so well even though she stays mostly in her bed or room, going in regularly and chatting to her. They do seem to love her and always go above and beyond for her needs. Thank you to the manager and all your wonderful staff."

"My father and his twin sister were 92 in January and we had a private lunch for them and our family at Barchester Worplesdon View. The staff were so welcoming to all our family young and old and the food was delicious. The chef had made a wonderful chocolate cake for the twins which was much appreciated. The room was decorated with balloons and happy birthday banner. It was a very happy occasion with the staff popping in often to ask if we needed anything. The manager came to speak to us all too. The staff at the home from the reception team to the activities staff, clinical staff, carers, housekeeping and chefs are always so polite and cheery. They are gentle and kind with the residents. We feel very fortunate to have our father in residence there."

"My cousin has been a resident in Memory Lane at Barchester Worplesdon View for nearly 10 years. I find the care provided exceptional, the carers and nurses are obviously devoted to the residents even in these very difficult times."

"My Mother arrived at Worplesdon View in a sorry state during the February 2021 Covid lockdown, on emergency respite, due to denial and lack of insight into her diagnosis of Vascular Dementia. In the initial weeks on Memory Lane, her behaviour was quite challenging (as it was when in her own home) and she repeatedly asked to go home. Having no previous experience of Dementia or Care Homes, the Nursing Team answered my many queries and kept me informed throughout Mum’s stay of a year. This helped to develop an excellent relationship between us and the attitude of all the staff made me confident that Mum was safe and cared for. Mum had many food allergies and her diet was restricted, however, the chef worked hard in creating a menu to suit her needs. In the latter part of Mum’s stay and during her end of life journey, the team showed great compassion, caring and respect, right up until her final breath. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the Nurses/Carers/Reception/Admin/Kitchen and Housekeeping."

"My 95-year-old mother went into Barchester Worplesdon View in April, just before Easter this year. She settled in very quickly, she is very happy there and it is such a relief to know that she is so well looked after. The staff are fabulous, she is enjoying the food and my sister and I feel absolutely confident that she is being looked after excellently. This is a lady who had been adamant up until March that she didn’t want to go into a home, she’s been living in her own flat and looking after herself. Unbeknown to us she was struggling and she tells me now that she feels so much happier because she doesn’t have to think about anything except what she’s going to wear that day. I cannot praise the home enough and I think it’s given my mother a new lease of life. We are looking forward to her 96th birthday in August and hope to have many more there."

"My mother-in-law arrived in Worplesdon View following some very difficult experiences with care at home which wasn't working out. We were very worried about her physical and mental condition and needed to get help quickly and restore dignity to her life. The manager of Worplesdon View saw us early on a Sunday morning with no notice and in 3 days my mother-in-law had moved in. Within 24 hours she was in much better health. The excellent food has made her stronger. The In-house physiotherapist has achieved great results already. She had been bed-bound, living with enforced incontinence. Now she can get into her wheelchair and is starting to weight bear again. It will be a long journey but we have every confidence in the staff at Worplesdon View who are all working in unison to bring her quality of life back. We know she is safe, warm, and well cared for and at 90 we can now believe she has more years ahead."

"My mother came to Worplesdon View unexpectedly and stayed for six weeks, during this time her care was exemplary it truly is a home from home. All the staff were wonderful and myself and mum couldn't speak highly enough of them. The food amazing care even better. Thank you doesn't even come close. Mum cried when she had to leave this says it all. Forget 5-star review we would give them all at least 10."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Worplesdon View to anyone that has an elderly relative that needs nursing care. Sadly due to Mum's illness, she was only there for 3 weeks. Throughout that time she was treated with dignity and care. My sister and I were also well-supported until the end. I found all staff to be friendly and attentive. Thank you."
