About Park View Care Home

Park View Care Home brings together nursing care and a genuine sense of community in the heart of Suffolk. Families looking for the right place for a loved one will find a home that takes its responsibility seriously and works to create a warm, familiar environment for residents. Suffolk itself is a wonderfully calm and scenic county, offering a peaceful backdrop for daily life at the home.

Park View Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 61 people across three floors. At inspection, 50 older people were using the service. While systems exist to assess and manage risks, they do not always work effectively and lack regular review.

Environmental risks from refurbishment and building works had not been properly identified or addressed. Care plan and risk management plans were not consistently followed, with gaps found in repositioning records, food and fluid charts, and strategies to guide staff on risk reduction. The provider's quality assurance system had not identified these shortfalls.

People using the service described staff as kind and friendly, saying they knew them well and felt well supported. Staff receive induction training when starting at the home. However, feedback on staff availability was mixed, with concerns raised about staffing levels.
