Overall Experience

Mum went in for a couple of weeks respite care and was in good, caring hands during her stay. Everyone at Middlefields was so welcoming and made Mum feel included from the minute she got there. Mum really enjoyed her stay and I knew she was totally safe and looked after. I would fully recommend Middlefields.

Thank you for looking after Mum.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you so much for your kind review. We always enjoy having family members stay with us on respite care, and it was wonderful having your Mum with us at Middlefields House. The whole team work hard to ensure that everyone living with us, for however long, feels welcomed, loved and cared for. We are blessed to have a vibrant community, with plenty going on, where everyone is encouraged to join in and feel they belong. We wish your Mum all the very best, and we look forward to the next time.

Overall Experience

Mum came to Middlefields House at the end of her life and she was treated by each member of staff with such kindness, respect and dignity. I will always be so grateful because Mum had been going through a difficult and painful time at home and the staff managed to help her to be comfortable and at peace.

I too felt held and cared for. Every single member of staff I came across- the cafe staff, the receptionists, the carers, the care managers, the administrative staff- I felt, was genuinely caring and wanting to be of service.
Without hesitation this would be the care home for me.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you for taking the time to give such a thoughtful and honest review, following the sad loss of your Mum. It was an absolute privilege to be able to support Mum through her last days and for you to be assured that she was safe, at peace and comfortable is also of paramount importance to the care we provide. We are blessed with an incredible team who are passionate about ensuring everyone at Middlefields House knows they are valued, loved and cared for.

Overall Experience

On the occasion of my first contact with Middlefields, I was so distressed about my parents' situation - my sister and I + our families live abroad) and the Business manager - a wonderful woman who has such a gift of calming people - really took the time to listen to us and reassure us. I left the home

feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time!
To know that our mother - who suffers from Alzheimer - is now safe and so well cared for at Middlefields is such a relief to our father, my sister, our families and me.
My last visit at home was so traumatic - my mother would not allow me to do anything to really help her, as she did not recognise me.
Visiting her at Middlefields was such a contrast - I could leave the everyday tasks to the delightful staff and could enjoy quality time with my mother in the lovely gardens, just listening to her or stroking her hair while she soaked up the sun.
This was such a gift to me - real memories to be cherished forever!
Thank-you so much!!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review. It was a privilege and honour to be able to support you as a family in making one of the toughest decisions that needs to be made regarding moving a loved one into permanent care. We are so pleased that it was the right decision for you all, as Mum is settling well and for family to be able to visit and just be...rather than carry the care is indeed a gift!! All the staff work hard to ensure that everyone living with us feels loved and valued, with a kind, caring community, enabling all to live a fulfilled life to the very end. We love when family visit and look forward to the next time you are in the country.

Every time I go to Middlefields to visit Grandad, all the staff are incredibly friendly and the care and connection for residents is clear from the moment you walk in. It was lovely to glimpse the Christmas party and see the music and dancing with everyone.

All the team are amazing, friendly, caring and just so loving.

Overall Experience

After visiting our sister at Middlefields House, Chippenham, with my brother, his wife and another sister, travelling over 200 miles for the occasion of her 85th birthday. I would like to make the following comments.
We found all the staff from the management, carers, canteen, cleaners, reception,

and everyone we met to be extremely helpful, caring, kind and compassionate to both us and my sister at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. The birthday cake provided, cards and presents, special balloons and decorations for her meant a lot to her and were appreciated by her and us all. It made her feel special. We also appreciated having a room on our own to be able to eat lunch all together on both days.
My sister and I stayed in the guest room provided for one night which was warm, comfortable, satisfactory, adequate, and sufficient for both our needs. We hope to visit again but the distance of 200 miles and our health issues make it difficult.
Thank you for providing such a lovely place with delightful staff for our sister to call home during the last years of her life.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and encouraging review. It is always a pleasure to welcome family and friends and join in with our family members here at Middlefield House on special occasions. The whole team work hard to ensure precious memories are made and everyone enjoys celebrating together. We are so pleased you were able to make use of our guest room to be here, despite the long drive and we hope you are able to visit again in the not too distant future. I trust you have a blessed Christmas - we have plenty of festivities taking place as Christmas is always a very special time here and all who are living with us will have a wonderful time.

Overall Experience

My youngest brother and his wife kindly escorted my second sister and myself to visit the sister currently living in Middlefields House on her birthday. Our general experience was very good. All the staff were very kind, obliging, thoughtful and caring. All my sister's basic physical needs were met

and she seemed relaxed and content (although there's nowhere like home). She was, however, rather lonely and we felt would benefit from some physiotherapy to enable her to be a little more independent and mobile. This is, I realise, difficult to achieve for all residents. She responded so well to our taking her out for coffee in a nearby coffee shop on Thursday morning before we headed back to Suffolk.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Middlefields and how lovely you were able to join your sister who is living with us on her birthday. All our family members enjoy their visits and it is such a blessing when they are still able to be taken out with their relatives. It is an absolute privilege and pleasure to care for all our family members and a joy to see them spending time with their loved ones. We look forward to your next visit and trust you all have a wonderful Christmas.

Overall Experience

I can't imagine a better place for my mother-in-law to be in her latter years. From the moment you're greeted at the reception desk to the carers and the cafe staff, there seems to be nothing but smiles and genuine friendliness. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum has been in Middlefields for over two

years now and is very settled. Everyone who comes to see her says what a lovely place it is. It has a lovely atmosphere, due in no small part to the Christian ethos which undergirds all the Pilgrim Friend's Society Homes. There's also a great appreciation from the staff and management for the support from relatives and they like to engage with them regularly.
The activities are incredibly imaginative - they're never afraid to try something new and get everyone involved, not just with family and friends, but in the wider community as well.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough and encouraging review. The whole team here at Middlefield House work together with our family members' very best interests and care at heart. It is wonderful to know that this is evident from the moment you step in to visit Mum to the moment you leave and for you to know and have peace that she is well loved and deeply cared for. It is a joy to know that our Christian ethos is central to all that we do and a privilege to share faith not only with those who live with us but with relatives and visitors alike!

Overall Experience

My wife has only been in the home for 6 weeks, and seems very happy there, although often wanting to come home, failing to understand the necessity of her residing there. The staff are amazingly understanding of this, and help to overcome those moments. The rooms are so pleasantly large and light, with

view of the garden. The whole atmosphere of the home is very pleasant, and I'm so thankful to God for this lovely provision.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you for taking the time to write this encouraging review. It is wonderful to know that your wife is settling and for the family to recognise and be confident that in those times when she wants to come home, she is well loved and cared for. We are thankful for the wonderful facilities we have here at Middlefields House but of greater importance is how family members feel about living with us and that this is a home with a big heart (for relatives too!).

Our experience at Middlefields House has been excellent. My father is well cared for by friendly, caring and professional staff. In fact, all staff at Middlefields have always behaved in an exemplary manner. Dad is really happy at Middlefields. He regards it as home. He loves the activities and has

made real friends with the other residents. I know that he really appreciates the help and support that he received after my mother passed away earlier in the year.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you for your encouraging review. It has been an absolute privilege to support your father, especially during and since your mother's passing. He has become such a valued member of the household and is loved by all. It is wonderful to see and know how involved he has become in our activities and how much he enjoys life here in every way!! Our heart is very much that Middlefields House soon became 'home' for all our family members and that lives are lived to the full!

The care at Middlefields is outstanding in every way. The design of the home is superb and supports caring, small households where individual needs are paramount. The Christian ethos surrounds the environment and the public coffee shop is a hub of friendly activity. All care homes should be based on

this model. I am so relieved my mum is being taken care of at Middlefield.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

Thank you for your review - we also believe the small household model meets so many of our family members needs, on so many levels and are thrilled that together with our Christian values running throughout every provision, you feel confident and fully assured that your Mum is receiving the very best care she deserves.

Overall Experience

Middlefields has such a family atmosphere, from a friendly welcome at reception to the warm caring feel of each household. Having only 12 residents per household helps to make it family-like, the rooms are kept very clean, the gardens are a pleasure to go around with Mum. The carers treat Mum with great

kindness, activities are put on regularly, and the services/devotions ensure that Mum has opportunities for collective worship. The residents are all valued by the staff and volunteers as having dignity and worth.

Reply from Sarah Stockinger, Business Manager at Middlefields House

It is wonderful to hear how involved your mum is with all that goes on at Middlefields House and how loved and cared for she feels. Our households are a real blessing as strong friendships are developed and spiritual fellowship readily available with some very special times of worship and prayer. We are thankful for all our family members and the whole team work hard to ensure every aspect of community life thrives! Thank you for your kind words - it's always such an encouragement to all.

Middlefields has been a wonderful place for my mother to spend her later years. She settled in very quickly two years ago, and has made some lovely friends both among the residents and the staff.
On our most recent visit we took advantage of the guest room in the home, which proved to be a great choice.

Having the cafe to provide our midday meal was a massive bonus, too.
The level of care Mum has received has been second to none, and I have had experience of many residential homes over the years in various parts of the country.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Middlefields to prospective residents.
