The 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.
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.
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
