Springbank House Care Home
from S R (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Warm & welcoming home - not 'smelly'. Lots of staff around - friendly & approachable. Good variety of food & menu options. Lots of interaction/friendly banter. Cosy room with own toilet (top-up payable) Lots of nooks & cranny's for quiet time. Open hours for family & friends to visit. Welcome to enjoy

Christmas dinner with my Dad. Message re laundry didn't get passed on. Not informed when Dad was unwell.

Reply from Claire Allen, Manager at Springbank House Care HomeThank you for your lovely comments. Dad has settled very well into the home. I apologise that the laundry message was not received by all the team. Communication with families when their loved one's are unwell is very important & an area we are working on to improve.

Review of
Barnfield Care Home
from A M (Mother of Resident) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My son was in hospital from March to August with lots of medical issues. As he started to improve it became apparent that he needed a different surrounding. He was transferred to Branfield mid August and after the initial 'changes' my son soon settled into his need care regime. All staff were very helpful,

informative, respectful and pleasant, carrying out their duties to a high standard. A timetable of activities for residents always available on the notice board near the main entrance door. My son made very good progress at Barnfield and I'd like to thank everyone for making his stay happy and comfortable.

Reply from Rebecca Wass, Home Manager at Barnfield Care HomeThank you for sharing your lovely feedback.
We were delighted to welcome your son and support him as he regained his strength, and the team were proud to help him settle into a routine that suited his needs. He was very well thought of by everyone and is genuinely missed. Your kind words mean so much to the staff, who always strive to care with warmth, dignity and respect. We are so pleased to hear he made such positive progress and that his stay at Barnfield was comfortable and happy. We all wish him the very best for the future.

Review of
Barnfield Care Home
from J H (Wife of Resident) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This will be my last review, for the weeks leading up to my husband dying at the end of October 2025.
He had been at Barnfield for sixteen months and in all that time he had been very settled. All the staff took so much care, whether it was personal care, joining in with activities and being encouraged

to do as much as he possibly could. His communication became very poor as time went on, but he always had a smile for all the staff. Whenever something happened, whether it was through a fall or a medical concern, I was always informed and I was able to go up to the Home to reassure myself. In the last weeks, as he deteriorated, the care the staff gave him was exemplary. They also looked after family members, who came from all over the country and abroad, to see him. Being with him during his last week was particularly stressful and I cannot give enough thanks to all the staff, day and night, for the care and support that allowed my husband to have a peaceful death. Thank you Barnfield.

Reply from Rebecca Wass, Home Manager at Barnfield Care HomeThank you for sharing such a thoughtful and heartfelt words.
It was a joy and a privilege for us to know your husband, and just as special to know you. I know I speak for the whole team when I say that caring for him was an honour, and we will hold his memory close. We are so glad you felt welcomed, informed, and supported, and that you were able to spend meaningful time with him here. It brings us comfort to know his final days were peaceful and surrounded by love.
Thank you again for the trust you placed in us, and for the warmth you showed to everyone here. You and your family remain in our thoughts.

from Ann D (Wife of Resident) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband moved into Barnfield in April 2025. From the first visit looking round to the day he sadly passed away, we were all treated with dignity l, kindness and respect. The care and compassion shown was excellent. Whether it was a quick hello as I came to visit or needing a shoulder to cry on if

it wasn't such a good visit, the staff were always there for us. The home was always clean and bright and the food cooking smelt lovely. Thank you will never be enough for how grateful I am for all the staff and their support.

Reply from Rebecca Wass, Home Manager at Barnfield Care HomeThank you very much, Ann, for your kind and heartfelt review.
We were deeply saddened by your husband's passing, and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to you and your family. It means a great deal to us to know that from your first visit through to such a difficult time, you and your husband were treated with dignity, kindness and respect. We are truly grateful for your lovely comments about the care, compassion and support shown by our team. Knowing that our staff were able to be there for you, whether with a friendly greeting or a listening ear, will mean a great deal to them. We are also pleased to hear that you found the home clean, bright and welcoming.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for placing your trust in our team. Your feedback means a great deal to us, and it was a privilege to care for your husband and support you during his time with us.

Overall Experience

Barnfield is clean, tidy and bright. Staff are helpful, approachable and responsive to mums needs. Her room is a good size, quiet and well lit. We are also able to add personal items in her room. Mum seems to be enjoying her food. It is nice that they bring snacks and drinks mid morning and afternoon.

They have activities going off most days and live entertainment occasionally.

I know mum is in safe hands and treated with respect and dignity.

Springbank House Care Home
from Pauline D (Wife of Resident) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Springbank House would probably not compare favourably with a modern, purpose built home in terms of the facilities However, I believe few homes could possibly provide better care and attention for all the residents and often the families of the people who live there. All the staff (manager, office

staff, cooks and kitchen staff, cleaners, laundry ladies and handy men) are excellent. They all do their best to ensure the home runs smoothly and to see the residents have the best care. The activities coordinator is always busy and keeps many residents happy and occupied. An excellent home - well alone to all.

Every time I visit I am made to feel welcome and am always pleased with the way the staff respond to residents. There is always a warm, friendly atmosphere in Holmewood. My wife had to go into Holmewood because I could not keep her safe, and I am so very grateful to Holmewood for taking care of her

for me. I cannot thank the staff there enough for the care she has received. And I know that she is safe and cannot hurt herself or anyone else. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I am incredibly relieved to have found Burton Closes Hall which is a lovely safe environment for my mother. The care is excellent and my mother, who was anxious and reluctant about moving into the home has settled in happily. Her care has been the most important concern for myself and my brother for

several years. Despite her poor health, the support she has received has seen her improving in her sense of wellbeing.
It's hugely reassuring to know that she is settled and cared for.
