Park View Residential Care Home

Residents at Parkview are encouraged to engage in external activities, with staff facilitating referrals to local community centres, libraries, or voluntary roles in charity shops to support reintegration after hospital stays. Each resident has a bedroom and shares facilities like the lounge and kitchen. The rehabilitation programme encourages room cleaning, meal preparation (with supervision), and personal care tasks like hygiene, dressing, and bathing, supported by a key worker system and risk assessments. Residents enjoy breakfast, lunch, tea, and supper with a choice of three culturally sensitive menus tailored to Afro-Caribbean and White traditions, prepared by a qualified cook. Two industrial washing machines and tumble dryers are available for resident use under staff supervision. There is no time limit on stay, and residents are supported to transition to more independent accommodation when ready. In acute crises, hospital admission may be arranged. Visitors are welcome in communal areas until 10:00 p.m., with no overnight stays, and residents can invite family to meals with two days’ notice for a small fee. Pets are not allowed for health and safety reasons. Smoking is permitted in a designated area and the garden, with ground-floor rooms equipped with smoke extractors for residents with mobility issues. Residents can organize their own outings, and the home arranges weekly van trips to parks, beaches, or places of interest, plus annual group outings like an 'Away Weekend' or seaside day trip.
