About Park View Care Home

Park View Care Home is a nursing home in Ipswich, Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. Qualified nurses on site mean that somebody whose health is complicated or changeable can stay with us as their needs increase rather than being moved on, and that clinical decisions get made promptly by people who already know the person well. The nursing is only part of it, though. Most of what makes a day worth having happens elsewhere, in conversation, in familiar belongings around a person, in a chair by a window and in family who can come and go without feeling like visitors to an institution. For people living with dementia we ask families to tell us who somebody has been across their life, because that knowledge is what allows staff to steady a person who is anxious rather than simply manage a difficult moment. We want to be plain about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accept that finding and are working through the areas it identified. Please visit, ask about the rating directly and judge us on what you actually find here.
