Let’s talk about the staff. They’re not just caregivers; they’re professional ninjas of kindness. They remember that Mrs. Jones likes her tea with one sugar and a side of gossip.
And when someone has a grumpy day? They don’t just medicate. They dance them out of it. I saw a carer literally waltz a resident down the hall to a Frank Sinatra song. Legendary.

They’re also big on independence. Want to stay in bed and read? Cool. Want to join the chair yoga session and accidentally fall asleep? Also cool. No judgment. Just gentle encouragement and a blanket.

Okay, let’s be real. Care home food gets a bad rap. But Park View? They’re serving up proper meals. We’re talking Sunday roasts that could make a vegetarian weep.
There’s a menu with choices, not just “mush or lumps.” Salmon with dill? Yes, please. And the puddings? Let’s just say the residents have a sweet tooth that’s treated with respect. I spotted a sticky toffee pudding that looked better than my own baking.
They even do afternoon tea. Proper scones, clotted cream, the works. I’m half-tempted to fake a hip injury just for the cucumber sandwiches.
