Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The home received a Good rating for Effective at its September 2022 inspection. This domain covers staff training, care planning, healthcare access, nutrition, and hydration. The published summary does not include specific detail on dementia training content, how frequently care plans are reviewed, how GP referrals are managed, or what food is like day to day. Dementia is listed as a specialism, which means the home should have specific competencies in this area, but the inspection report does not describe what those look like in practice.Is this home caring?
The home received a Good rating for Caring at its September 2022 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and how well the home supports people to remain independent. The published summary does not include direct inspector observations of staff interactions, resident quotes, or specific examples of how dignity is protected in practice. A Good rating confirms inspectors were satisfied, but the evidence behind it is not visible in the published text.Is the home responsive?
The home received a Good rating for Responsive at its September 2022 inspection. This domain covers how well the home tailors its care and activities to individuals, how it handles complaints, and how it supports people at end of life. The published summary does not include specific examples of activities offered, how the home supports people with more advanced dementia to engage, or how end-of-life plans are developed with families. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied with responsiveness at the time of the visit.Is the home well-led?
The home received a Good rating for Well-led at its September 2022 inspection. A named registered manager, Mrs Andrea Mrozowski Charlesworth, is in post and is also listed as the nominated individual for the provider, Belvedere Care Homes Ltd. This dual role means she holds both operational and regulatory responsibility for the home. The published summary does not include specific detail on staff culture, governance systems, how complaints are handled, or how the home learns from incidents and near-misses.

What the evidence base says
Amber View provides care for adults both under and over 65, including those living with dementia, mental health conditions or physical disabilities. This broad range means they're set up to support people with varying and complex needs. While dementia care is offered here, specific details about their approach aren't widely documented. A visit would help you understand how they support residents with memory loss and what specialist training their team has. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Amber View Care Home was rated Good across all five inspection domains, which is a positive baseline. However, the published inspection report contains very limited specific detail, observations, or testimony, so most scores reflect a confirmed but undetailed picture rather than strong direct evidence.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary

How it sits against good practice
Sometimes the smallest gestures matter most — like when staff here helped arrange a special birthday celebration for one resident.
Worth a visit
Amber View Care Home, at 35 Wagstaff Lane, Nottingham, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its inspection in September 2022. The home is a 22-bed residential service run by Belvedere Care Homes Ltd, with a named and registered manager, Mrs Andrea Mrozowski Charlesworth, in post. It supports people over and under 65 with dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. A consistent Good rating with a stable trend is a reassuring baseline. The main limitation here is that the published inspection summary contains very little specific detail: no direct observations of staff interactions, no resident or family quotes, and no specifics on staffing ratios, food, activities, or dementia care practice. This means the Good rating confirms that inspectors were satisfied, but it does not give you the granular picture you need to make a confident decision. On your visit, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (counting permanent versus agency names and night shift numbers), watch how staff interact with your parent in corridors and communal spaces, and ask specifically how the home supports people living with dementia on a one-to-one basis.
