Care Homes Owned by Curaa Group Ltd in Hertfordshire

My Mum had a relatively short time stay at Ashview Nursing Home after being admitted back from her time in hospital for end of life care. Our family wanted to find a suitable home, which was highly recommended.

On entry to the home, our family members and guests were always made to feel welcome with a friendly greeting to whoever was on duty. There appeared to be a nice atmosphere throughout the home with the staff making this a priority for visitors who attended. The home felt warm, has a lovely garden and the facilities were good. There appeared to be a lot of team work going on and staff looked happy to be there.

The staff spent precious time looking after and tending to Mum with much warmth and care, with compassion and a professional attitude. Any communication updates and concerns our family members needed to hear, were treated with kindness and sensitivity.

The team have enabled Mum to be as comfortable and pain free as possible, which our family are eternally grateful.

The 'open door' approach by the manager if residents & family have any concerns. Field House has a family home feel & under the new management there are many improvements being made to the home.

Mum passed away on 21/07/26 peacefully and with full dignity. I will miss the staff & residents of Field House

A home at the centre of Harpenden community clearly improving under new management. Father admitted on emergency respite admission, thanks to the team now moving to a more convenient care home closer to his wife.

My Mum stayed at Field House for a week for respite care. The staff were very welcoming and made a great effort to make her feel at home and to help her to settle in. After a couple of days Mum seemed more relaxed and felt safe. The staff were very good at contacting me to ask about anything they needed clarification about and fed back helpful information about how she was doing when I visited. She said everyone was very friendly and she would definitely be happy to go back for another stay.

The Staff welcomed the whole Family with open arms & we'll be forever grateful.

- The best use was made of building not designed for the purpose. Lifts good.

Although I wish I could have continued to live in my home, Field House is becoming my home.

My mother has been in Fieldhouse for 12 months, in this time there has been '3' managers, various members of staff have left and now appears to be running with the bare minimum. The activities have been very poor and always seem unplanned and rushed. (lack of staff) It took me 4 months to get regular updates on my mothers overall health and well being and this was with me visiting weekly. The change of managers doesn't seem to change anything, when I'm there they are always in meetings!!! Please note the majority of the staff are amazing.

Ashview Nursing Home is a very good, well organised Nursing Home. All staff do a very difficult job very well indeed. My late mother was made very welcome and comfortable by the staff, as were all the visitors to my mother. The operation of the end of life care enabled my mother to have a comfortable, pain free stay. Overall, very impressed and very thankful.

Many thanks to the staff who helped my friend have a special lunchtime celebration with friends for his birthday today. He enjoyed his fish and chips followed by a birthday cake supplied by the kitchen and a rendition of "Happy Birthday". Thank you Field House for helping him have a lovely day.

My mother recently died and the staff were so caring and considerate. Enough couldn't of been done for us. Will be forever grateful for all the kindness and thoughtfulness the staff showed us. There aren't enough words that would show our gratitude to everyone at Ashview Nursing Home. Thank you to everyone.

I would like to thank all the staff for their care of looking after my friend in his final month. Their dedication attention and care was the best I have experienced. All the staff at Ashview Nursing Home made his last month pass with dignity and care, plus made his widow's experience more bearable.

I cannot honestly say that I have enjoyed my three years at Field House. I do not claim that the care is very poor, but it is certainly not adequate in many respects. There are not enough carers to be able to spend time with each of the residents and not all the carers have the right attitude to make us feel respected or comfortable. The activities are not always suitable for our age or abilities. It would make us feel more normal if we had more contact with life outside the home. This month (April 2025) a new Home Manager has arrived so it remains to be seen whether any shortcomings will be improved. I certainly hope so.

Generally, my experience is excellent. However, there should be an additional toilet on the first floor for residents. At the moment, there is only one toilet for 23 residents.

Thank you Field House. Mum was there for several months. The staff have been very caring, changing Mum's bandages every few days. I was able to assist several times! Not that I minded as I could evaluate Mum's condition and encourage Mum. The management and administrative staff were exceptionally helpful given the logistical situation (I could only visit once a month for a few days). Everyone has been very kind and helpful, especially at the end, when I needed to talk and ask for practical advice. I warmly recommend Field House whether for a short stay or for longer.

Our mother was a resident at Field House for a 28 day assessment following a long stay in hospital with several health issues and in particular a high output stoma! She was so well cared for here ! I have to especially mention her nurse who was mums favourite, she really went the extra mile for mum at all times and had such a lovely caring nature. We would definitely recommend this home.

Field House was a gem of a find! My wife stayed there in November recovering from a hip fracture. I visited her almost every day thus seeing much of the activity in the home. Administration is exemplary from the initial assessment to the final discharge report; so detailed and caring. Security is good, so that one can be sure residents are safe. The atmosphere is very homely; whilst the building is older this gives it a warmth and charm difficult to recreate in more modern functional establishments. It has its quirks, of course, as the building has been adapted, but nevertheless it creates a warmth and quietness perfect for a healing atmosphere.The little garden is a real bonus.

The staff were exceptional: kind, compassionate, encouraging and professional, in all cases, especially the nurses, activity coordinators and catering staff. My wife benefitted greatly in Field House so accelerating her healing, for which we are very thankful.

My mother was resident in Field House Care Home for three years. She received excellent care me enjoyed all the activities and special events. I am very grateful for the particular care and attention as her anxiety levels increased and she could not be left alone. Staff were very considerate and caring.
