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.

Review from Sally B (Friend of Resident) published on 18 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found when visiting my friend the staff are welcoming and curious and always pleased to help! There have been issues with things going missing. Purses, debit cards and phones! On the whole, my friend has been happy at Basingfield Court Residential Care Home in the short time she has been there,
sadly Basingfield Court Residential Care Home is not secure enough for my friend to stay.
Reply from Katherine Mahoney, Home Manager at Basingfield Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review and kind words about our team. We have a policy here where residents should always keep items of personal value in the home’s safe or alternatively there is a lockable cupboard in each resident’s bedroom. Please do contact me so we are able to discuss things further.

Review from David B (Brother of Resident) published on 23 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whenever I visit my sister at Basingfields I am always greeted with happy smiles and cheerful 'hello's'. All the staff seem caring and considerate to the old people. Food is excellent, rooms are top rate, the home is always clean and the entertainment provided seem to be excellent and dome of the visiting
entertainers are top rate. My best recommendation is that if I was in my sisters position I would be very happy to be at Basingfields.

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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

I joined the team at Basingfield Court as a deputy manager last year, before becoming manager earlier this year. As a team we deliver great care for our residents, working closely with professionals and supporting residents’ families and loved ones.


My career in care started over 10 years ago, working as a carer alongside studying. I have recently completed my level 5 Management in Health and Social Care and will continue to study and learn in my role.


Caring for people is very important to me. I enjoy doing things that will either help someone or change someone’s life, even in a small way. Here at Basingfield Court, our wonderful team support in enriching residents' lives every day. It makes me feel that I am a part of something very special.
