What our families say

I cannot speak highly enough of Worplesdon View Care Home. The facility itself is immaculate, modern and beautifully decorated, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for all residents.
The staff at Worplesdon View are truly exceptional. They are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated to the well-being of each resident.
The range of activities and social events offered is impressive.
Graham Allen is a remarkable leader who goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the home runs smoothly and efficiently.
In my opinion Worplesdon View is one of the best in Surrey!
I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone seeking help for their loved one.

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."

"Mum, who has dementia, was moved to Memory Lane in June 2020 and has settled well. However, due to the pandemic relatives are not able to see residents in their care setting - their rooms and the day room. Consequently, I cannot comment on the current standard of facilities/ cleanliness. The staff I do come into contact with appear very caring. The activities programme is varied but my mother does not have the capacity to remember them or share them with me. When she was on the ground floor the meal portions were meager and the nature of my mother is that she would not want to be a bother and ask for more. I cannot comment on this since her move to Memory Lane during the pandemic. Arrangements for booking visits in the visiting suite are good and a regular virtual relatives meeting has been introduced which is helpful. Also, weekly emails are sent showing the menu and activities. I do feel in the ‘dark’ about Mum’s personal and care needs and ongoing wellbeing."

"The medical care is very good, especially the physiotherapy. The care is good and the staff are pleasant. It is a shame that there is not an enclosed garden with easier access for residents straight into the garden. A patio area would be beneficial, perhaps Barchester Homes could consider this."

"Upon placement in the home under Covid-19 ruling by NHS, my mother was initially very wary and hesitant to stay. In the following weeks and months, the environment and staff have made her completely change and she now shows every sign of being much more happy and contented. All the staff I have met have been very positive with her and my wife and I, and we are happy to have her in their care. The excessive grouds also allow a nice environment when the weather allows."

"My mother, who has Alzheimer's, moved into Barchester Worplesdon View shortly after the death of my father. Whilst it was her choice, her condition meant that she was confused as well as grieving. All of the staff were exceptionally kind and caring. We chose Worplesdon View because when we visited it appeared that all the staff took a personal interest in each resident. This proved to be true in my mother's experience. Much of the time, my mother would tell anyone who would listen that she didn't know why she was there, wanted to go home. The staff handled this with skill and patience, making her feel calm and supported. The nursing team were exceptional, looking after my mother very well. Engaging the GP when needed and keeping me informed at every stage. The management of the home was also fantastic, the team were always helpful with visits despite all of the difficulties presented by Covid."

"My Mum has been at Worplesdon View for just over a year. She is extremely happy, which has made it much easier for my sister and I. It is very well run and the nursing and care staff are amazing, which is the main reason that she soon felt at home. They got to know her quickly even though she is a shy person and was unwell at the beginning. I believe this is because they are always engaging in conversation with her and us. It has also meant that my sister and I have got to know them well too and have a very good relationship with all of them. The food and accommodation are excellent and my Mum will even join in with some of the great activities. In April my Dad also needed to go into a home for his dementia and so it was an easy decision for us to make. He is on another floor and so is being looked after by different staff, but who are equally as lovely and he too has settled very quickly and is extremely happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Worplesdon View."

It is clear that Worplesdon View is very well led and the whole team always do their very best for my mum. The management has steered a skilful path through the pandemic with great care - keeping residents and staff safe while maximising visiting. I would recommend Worplesdon View wholeheartedly."

"My mother has been living at Worplesdon View since 1st August 2021, after being discharged from the hospital. She has received excellent nursing and general care since that time. She has been made to feel very welcome and comfortable and really enjoys the social care activities provided by the home, and she enjoys the excellent food provided. I, as a visitor, along with members of our family have always been greeted in a very friendly and helpful manner by the care home manager and all of the staff there. I have been kept informed sometimes by phone, also by the weekly newsletters of any changes to visiting rules and entertainment indoors each week and events like the bonfire night outdoor display. I have a good relationship with the nursing staff, who have kept me updated with my mother's health, issues and progress. I would thoroughly recommend this care home."

"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."

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."

"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 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 father stayed for four months until he died. Throughout that period, I found all the staff I came across excellent and a credit to your organisation. No task was too great for them, and the care they showed to my wheelchair-bound father was extraordinary - they treated him at all times with dignity. As an external observer, it appeared a well-led team which worked like a well-oiled machine. Today my father died- the help and respect given were touching and sympathetic - and the manager came in on Sunday to give his condolences."

"Everyone was caring and professional at Worplesdon View. It is a very difficult job everyone there does and my mum was only there for about a month before she died but I could not think of a better place for her to be. I visited most days and they even managed to get Mum to lunch and dinner with other residents and even a few activities which was so much better for her than being on her own. She even said the food was very nice and even the day before she died had a nice dinner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home and all the staff that I met."

"I spent two weeks in respite care at the Barchester Worplesdon View. I am a full-time wheelchair user with little that I can do myself. I was impressed during my initial visit by both the accommodation and facilities available and the friendliness. When I went to stay I found that everything I had seen on my initial visit was correct and was actually surpassed as I found the care, accommodation, food and facilities were all exceptionally good. Nothing I asked for was too much trouble and I thoroughly enjoyed staying there and will certainly return in the future. Thank you to all the staff who made my stay so good."

"My mother was a resident of Barchester Worplesdon View for seven months in 2024, suffering from Alzheimer's. On first visit, we were impressed by the building and facilities and a warm reception to our visit. Sadly, my mother passed after seven months but from the first to last day, the entire staff and their approach to care needs surpassed all expectations of the family. The level of care, courtesy, respect and retention of personal dignity was always foremost in the staff and the genuine concern and empathy were truly astonishing. Thank you so much from our family, it will never be forgotten."

"My mother-in-law has been a resident at Barchester Worplesdon View for more than four and a half years and has been cared for superbly. She enjoys the many activities on offer and usually attends two or three each day. She likes being with other people and keeping her body and mind as fit as possible with yoga, "volleyball", tai chi and other activities, in spite of being wheelchair-bound. Other activities, like word games and puzzles, help to maintain her mental health and keep boredom at bay. We cannot speak too highly of the activities team who are always cheerful and encouraging. The nursing and care staff have been wonderful - attending to her health needs, ensuring that she eats well and is smartly dressed every day, just as she was in her own home. Food quality is excellent, the dining rooms are like quality restaurants with tables properly set and an appetising choice of courses at each meal. We are very fortunate to have found Worplesdon View for Mum."

"My husband has been at Worplesdon View for nearly three years. The fact that he is still here is largely down to the high-quality care and nursing that he receives. Although he is bed-bound, nonverbal and showing little interaction with people, this doesn't stop the staff, including the activities team, from engaging with him and trying to find ways to stimulate him. The nursing and care team have been consistent during the time that he has been resident here, which has really helped too. I can only say how appreciative I am of all the people in all of the teams, for what they do for my husband and myself. Worplesdon View feels like a second home to me. My husband is on puréed food and I want to say that it always looks appetising and tastes lovely! Thank you."
