About Us

At Parkview Gardens, we provide residential and dementia care for older adults, younger adults, and people living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments, right here in Barrow in Furness, Westmorland and Furness.

We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone walks through our door, whether for a visit or to move in, we want them to feel at ease. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure each person living here feels genuinely at home, respected, and supported in the way that suits them best.

Care looks different for everyone. For someone living with dementia, it might mean familiar routines, patient conversation, and an environment that feels calm and safe. For someone with a physical disability or a sensory impairment, it might mean making sure the practical side of daily life is handled thoughtfully so that independence is maintained wherever possible. We try to understand what matters to each individual and build their support around that.

We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good. That matters to us, not because of the rating itself, but because it reflects what our team works hard to achieve every day. We hold ourselves to a high standard, and we are always looking at how we can do things better.

If you are considering Parkview Gardens for yourself or someone close to you, we would genuinely welcome the chance to show you around and answer any questions you have. There is no pressure, just an honest conversation about whether we might be the right fit. Please do get in touch, we are always happy to talk.

More about the care at Parkview Gardens

What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.

Older Person Care

Day to day support for older people usually covers help with washing and dressing at a pace that suits the resident, prompts or administration of medication, meals that account for appetite and dietary needs, and simple companionship through the quieter parts of the day. Parkview Gardens is registered with the CQC for older person care, so families can expect these basics to be part of the offer. It is worth asking how morning and evening routines are arranged, whether residents can lie in or go to bed late, and how many staff are on duty overnight. Ask also who responds if someone needs help at three in the morning, and how call bells are monitored. In the North West, weekly fees typically fall between £800 and £1050, while Westmorland and Furness council usually pays around £650 to £800.

Dementia

Good dementia care tends to look calm and unhurried, with familiar routines, staff who know each person's history, and a layout that feels safe to walk around without feeling locked in. Signage, lighting and quiet spaces all help, as does patience during moments of confusion or distress. Parkview Gardens in Barrow in Furness is registered for dementia care and was rated Good by the CQC following an inspection in December 2023. Families should ask how the home responds when someone becomes distressed or tries to leave, how they involve relatives when abilities change, and what happens if needs progress beyond what residential dementia care can safely meet. It is also fair to ask about continuity of staff, since familiar faces matter a great deal in dementia.

Physical Disability

Physical disability support hinges on the building working for the resident, from level access and wide doorways to hoists, wet rooms and height adjustable beds where needed. Parkview Gardens is registered for this care type, so it is reasonable to ask which rooms have en suite wet rooms, what moving and handling equipment is available, and how personal care is planned around preserving independence and dignity.

Visual / Hearing Impairment

Small adjustments make daily life much easier for people with sight or hearing loss, including good contrast on doorways and stairs, even lighting without glare, clear signage, and staff who introduce themselves and face the person when speaking. Parkview Gardens is registered to support these needs, so families can ask about hearing loop availability, large print menus, and how care plans record individual sensory preferences.

Younger Adults

Adults under 65 in a home where most residents are older can find the social side harder, so age appropriate routines, interests and choices matter. Parkview Gardens is registered to support younger adults alongside older residents. Families should ask how independence, technology use, visitors and going out are handled, and whether the person would have peers or community links to draw on.

Respite Care

Respite stays work best when booked well ahead, particularly around school holidays and Christmas when demand rises. Parkview Gardens is registered for respite, and most homes ask for a minimum of one or two weeks. Pack clearly labelled clothes, current medication with a pharmacy list, and GP details. A short stay can also serve as a low pressure trial before deciding on a permanent move.

Residential Care

Residential care covers everyday living support for people who do not need round the clock nursing input from a registered nurse. That generally means help with personal care, meals cooked on site, laundry, medication support, and social activities to break up the day. The difference from nursing care is straightforward: nursing homes have registered nurses on shift for complex clinical needs such as tube feeding or unstable long term conditions, whereas residential homes bring in the district nurse or GP when health input is needed. Parkview Gardens is registered for residential rather than nursing care, which suits people whose main needs are around daily living and companionship. Families comparing options should ask what happens if health needs increase over time, and whether a move would be required. Regional fees typically sit between £800 and £1050 a week.

Questions families ask about Parkview Gardens

Answered from the CQC register where we can. 5 of these the home has not told us yet, so ask when you call.

Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?

Yes. Parkview Gardens is registered for dementia care, so someone whose needs increase can usually stay rather than move. Ask how they support people in the later stages. Source: CQC register

Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?

Can they try a short stay before deciding?

Will they support end of life care, so there is no move at the hardest time?

Ask the home. End of life care is not listed on the register. Ask the manager whether residents can remain in the home with hospice or district nurse support.

Can she bring her cat or dog?

Ask the home. The home has not told us its pet policy yet. Ask directly; some homes allow small pets in residents' rooms or welcome visiting dogs.

Can a couple stay together?

Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.

Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?

Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.

Do they take younger adults as well as older people?

Yes. Parkview Gardens supports younger adults as well as older people. Source: CQC register

Can I visit before deciding, and are there visiting hours?

Ask the home. Every home should welcome a visit. Call to arrange one, ideally at a mealtime or during an activity, and ask about visiting hours for family.
