Mum spent five weeks in Potton View following a hospital stay. The manager visited her in hospital before the transfer to Potton View. He was very professional, also very kind. He took time to explain and listen.
At Potton View, Mum received excellent care. Throughout her stay she was treated with care, encouragement, respect and dignity by all staff.
Staff were quick to respond to any medical needs, contacting GPs or nurses as appropriate. I always felt Mum was safe and received genuine care which was most comforting for me and my family.
The homemade food is first class and varied. Visitors are welcome to have a meal with their relative.
Family and friends are welcomed and as next of kin, I always had access to staff if I had any questions.
I would highly recommend this modern, clean and family-friendly home to anyone who is looking for a care home.
Mum is now back home and continuing to improve and speaks of how grateful she is of the wonderful care she received whilst at Potton View.

Dining

Dining is a hugely important factor in many lives, it is more than simply sustenance. Culturally, both food and dining are at the core of our most joyous experiences in life; weddings, festivals, birthdays and holidays to name just a few.

We encourage our residents to invite their loved ones into the home for lunch, dinner and even breakfast so that meal times offer the same opportunities for socialising as they would’ve done throughout each individual’s life.

What is unique about the dining experience we offer here is ‘choice’, which extends beyond simply WHAT you wish to eat, it includes WHERE, WHEN and WHO WITH. Not only do our residents have a superb choice of meals each day but they have the freedom to eat them wherever they like, whenever they like, and with whomever they choose.

We often incorporate food into our activities, providing buffets at parties and BBQs during summer garden parties. We have even hosted ‘Come dine with me’ style evenings in which favourite meals are pitted against one another, diners then voting for their favourite.

Our catering staff are highly skilled and in addition to their knowledge within hospitality they are subject to our programme of care related training, this gives them a broad understanding of the often complex needs of our residents. Our dining team cater for a diverse range of dietary requirements and have experience in tailoring menus to suit every individual’s specific needs.

Entertainment

Regular activities include flower arranging, art and craft sessions, quiz nights and tea parties. As well as fun events in the home, entertainers often come and visit us too. We have recently been visited by the Salvation Army, musicians and local drama students.

As you would expect, special holidays are incorporated into our activity calendar and birthdays are always celebrated with a party and a big slice of cake!

We invite our residents to join in with choosing and planning activities and encourage those moving in with us to continue with their current hobbies and interests.
