Life at Park View
Offering a warm, safe and friendly environment where people can maintain their independence and feel at home in our care, Park View provides 24-hour individualised care in high-quality, comfortable surroundings with varied and welcoming facilities
Our Home
Park View is ideally placed in the centre of Gloucester in an area of urban regeneration adjacent to Gloucester Quays, is within walking distance of local amenities, and has good public transport links.
Park View has a secure direct access from the home into Gloucester’s main park which is adjacent.
Built on 4 floors with facilities and services designed with the specific healthcare requirements of older people in mind, Park View can support people who still wish to remain independent whilst having peace of mind in a self contained apartment, to those who require nursing or specialist dementia care in a secure environment with dementia friendly design. With such a wide range of care provision it is our aim to be able to provide ‘a home for life’ for all of our residents living here. On the ground floor of the home is a café and hairdressing salon which will be open to the public, then through into a private area there are bedrooms looking out over Gloucester Park.
Our Ethos upholds the desire to make a difference to the experiences of those who are both living and working at Park View by creating opportunities for lives which have meaning and purpose. As a socially and environmentally responsible home, our mission is ‘Creating tomorrow’s environments’; to create a welcoming community in which we support Older People and our Staff to flourish and thrive. We believe that a person’s individuality should not diminish with age but that all staff and residents should be valued and their lives enriched and fulfilled.

Local Amenities
Our home is ideally placed in the centre of Gloucester in an area of urban regeneration adjacent to Gloucester Quays.
The home is within walking distance of local amenities and Gloucester’s main park is situated just behind the home. We help our residents maintain active links to the local community and understand the positive impact that delivering care in the heart of the community can have on their health and wellbeing. We make an active contribution to the local community and will have links with societies such as Alzheimer’s groups, Age UK, places of worship, lunch clubs and the local bowling club.
Activities
At Park View we understand that the activities people carry out in their free time are often the things that they most look forward to and we are committed to supporting our residents by organising a stimulating range of events and activities to match individual interests and needs; for example, enabling residents to assist in the day to day tasks and activities that we all take for granted, like preparing a meal or snack, pottering in the garden or around the home, going to the cinema or popping to the shops.
Involving our residents, relatives and friends to develop Life histories plays an important part in being able to support people holistically, and enables us to develop meaningful relationships.
Food & Nutrition
We know how important mealtimes are to our residents and our staff are committed to making them an enjoyable part of each day.
Our highly skilled chefs use fresh ingredients from local suppliers to create a menu of delicious, seasonal, nutritious meals. We believe that if you eat well, you live well, which is why we go that extra mile when it comes to preparing nutritious meals and serving them in our spacious, dining rooms.
