With beautiful gardens and communal areas, spacious bedroom suites, a library and bistro café, Basingfield Court has some wonderful spaces to enjoy. But it’s the team which makes this home special.

Devoted to enriching the lives of their residents, activities are a huge part of life in the home, where the team provide residential, dementia and pre-bookable respite care.

The home has magnificent large gardens. With new furniture, these have just been revamped with the help of community volunteers, who have also created a pond. The residents are nurturing their own herbs and veg from seed, as part of the home’s gardening project, which will then be used in the kitchen.

The residents enjoy seated yoga, visualisation and meditation classes every week, as well as Zumba and dance. There are also twice weekly visits from a mobile hairdresser, who has been pampering residents in the salon for 30 years!

There are monthly cultural days, where the residents learn facts about different countries and the chef creates authentic cuisine, with everything from Spanish and Greek to Italian, where residents helped make pizzas. The chef makes home-cooked meals every day and is a talented baker, with freshly-baked cakes for afternoon tea. The residents often get involved in baking activities. And new to the menu are the cheese and pâté suppers.

The home has a beautiful bistro to relax in with loved ones, who are welcome to visit at any time. It also has its own private family and friends Facebook page, filled with photos and videos of what the residents have been enjoying.

The home is very much part of the local community, with school children visiting regularly for crafts and bingo.

Animal visits are also popular at Basingfield Court, from guinea pigs and rabbits to Shetland ponies.

My mother came to Basingfield Court for 6 weeks of respite after a period in hospital. The difference between when she came in to when she left was amazing! She was brighter, more alert and more able and independent both physically and mentally. The home has a nice atmosphere with incredibly caring
staff. Mum loved the food and even put on some much needed weight.

Basingfield Court Residential Care Home is a very ideal place for my mum-in-law. The staff are very warm and welcoming. Everyone is very friendly and my mum-in-law was very comfortable with everyone in her three-week stay when she was there. She cannot speak English so she was given a sign chart to
be able to express herself which was very good. I will definitely send her again for her respite. A big thank you to all the staff members for taking care of her.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband, who has Lewy body dementia, recently spent two weeks respite care at Basingfield Court Residential Care Home. The manager is very caring and professional and the staff were friendly and helpful. My husband had a lovely room on the ground floor which gave him easy access to the communal/dining
room. The staff ensured that he attended the entertainment and was not left on his own in his room. I was happy with his care and have booked another respite stay later in the year. I would rate the home good but with a couple of improvements, it could be excellent. 1) Offer male residents a daily shave. 2) Implement a process to monitor residents' fluid intake. 3) Ensure a member of staff is in the dining room during mealtimes, encouraging to eat more.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Basingfield Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review for Basingfield Court, we are delighted to hear that you were so pleased that you have already booked another stay for your husband and look forward to welcoming him back.

I would recommend this care home without reservation.
The management and staff are competent, professional and caring.
During my three-week respite care stay, I found that the staff were always ready to help, compassionate and able.
Basingfield Court Residential Care Home was recommended to me
by a nurse at the clinic where I had surgery.
I commend Basingfield Court to you.

My dad moved in early January and took a few weeks to settle into his new surroundings. He is very comfortable in his new room which is home from home with all of his things around him. He has made a few new friends, enjoys the activities and is very happy to have the help and support from the staff.

Review from Diana F (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been a resident of Basingfield Court since April 2023. It was quite a wrench leaving his own flat to move to a care home after independent living. Since arriving, he has been shown nothing by kindness from all the staff at Basingfield Court. I cannot praise them enough. Nothing is too much trouble,
and I feel Dad is treated with the utmost respect. He chooses to spend most of the time in his room as he's not the most sociable of people, but the staff make a point of going to sit with him regularly so he can chat with them about anything he wants. They give him time and the opportunity to engage. They actively encourage his hobbies and try and find occupations for him to fill his time. I find all the staff and management to be very warm and friendly, always a welcoming smile to greet me when I visit and a quick chat, which is just lovely. Dad has told me he is extremely happy there, and that's the best result I could possibly ask for.

We were slightly worried when a new management took over, but we need not have worried because the new manager is lovely and very approachable at any time. The activities offered to the residents are varied as well as fun and the activities coordinator is truly dedicated to the residents and will personally
encourage all to join in with the activities each week. My mum's dementia is slowly deteriorating, but all the staff are so lovely and understanding. We couldn’t recommend the home enough to anyone considering it as an option for their loved one.

I have been impressed by the homely and friendly atmosphere. The care staff are very 'caring' and treat my friend with great dignity and kindness, gently encouraging her when she is anxious or distressed. It is such an encouragement to see my friend enjoying crafts and social skills via social media.
I am grateful to all the staff, it has been a very difficult and distressing time but it is good to see my friend smiling and interacting with others.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Basingfield Court Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.806 for Basingfield Court Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.806
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Basingfield Court Residential Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
