Tegfield House

Mum has been at Tegfield House for about three months now and has settled in very well. The staff are all very friendly, caring and helpful and Mum enjoys being involved in the many and varied activities that are laid on for the residents. A lovely home with a lovely, homely feel! It is good to know that Mum is being so well cared for.

The staff are very caring and compassionate as well as being reassuringly professional and I feel confident that Mum is being very well looked after and is happy at Tegfield House. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very friendly and caring. I have no worries leaving my husband there and he is very happy.

My mother has been extremely well looked after since moving into the home in October 2023. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff.

Since August 2023, when my wife was admitted to Tegfield House, she has been treated with the utmost kindness. The homely atmosphere is apparent the moment you enter Tegfield.

My mum is very happy and content since she moved into Tegfield House. The care staff are excellent, very friendly and approachable and look after my mother's needs very well. As Tegfield House is a small care home, everyone knows everyone else well and this builds friendships and trust between both staff and residents. It is always enjoyable to visit, with various activities organised. We always feel welcome to visit at anytime. The home is spotlessly clean with a very good cook in the kitchen!

The staff are always welcoming and friendly. There has been re-decoration of the public rooms plus new chairs and settees in the lounge which look very smart, I think the temperature is right for the winter months whilst the terrace outside is a delight in the warmer weather. The home is always spotlessly clean and tidy too.

My wife has severe Alzheimer's and is incontinent, so needs special care. I believe that the staff are very patient with her, as they are with all the residents. I have told the manager that I do not think that the TV programmes selected in the lounge are generally suitable for older residents, that is my only complaint. I like the manager's open door policy.

Tegfield House has always provided good care in a friendly and relaxed environment. My aunt flourished there despite her dementia, enjoying the activities and the kindness of the staff. Tegfield also provided excellent end-of-life care avoiding the unnecessary stress of a final hospital visit and she was able to experience a dignified and peaceful end in familiar surroundings.

I used to be a medical social worker in the hospital and then a social worker in the community looking after older people. I have recommended this home to patients and their families since the mid 70's because I have always been so impressed by the staff and the care received by residents. My former German teacher is very happy here and I feel welcome when I visit.

All in all - a fantastic care home run by lovely people. Thank you Tegfield.

The staff are very kind and caring. They are regularly in contact with me and do everything they can to improve my mother's wellbeing and quality of life in the home. They host lovely family events regularly that provide entertainment and lovely food, which helps to make the home more homely.

I have not seen my dad as happy as he is at this home for a long time. He is being well looked after and enjoying the company, activities and food choices.

My dad only moved in three weeks ago and he is very happy and content. The staff are very caring and polite. He is enjoying the food choice. It's absolutely fantastic to see him smiling again. Thank you very much.

My dad has only been in the care home for three weeks but is really happy there. He loves the food and is enjoying the banter he has with the staff. He says the room is very comfortable and he sleeps well.

Just home from visiting my dad who has lived in Tegfield House for over 12 months now and felt I needed to add a review for anyone worried about future plans for loved ones. It wasn't a decision we made lightly as a family and visited a few different places before Dad moved in. The staff at Tegfield are always so welcoming, kind, friendly and accommodating whilst keeping all safe. As it's a smaller home, they know all the residents well and the transition was easy with support for both our dad and for us as a family too. Thank you to all at Tegfield House.

We don't get to visit my husband's aunt as often as we would like to but when we do make the trip, we are always made very welcome. Everyone that looks after the residents at Tegfield House are very special people. They are kind and very obviously dedicated to both the people that live there and their families and treat them as their own. Tegfield House is a beautiful place where their elderly residents are treated with love and respect. The activities are fun and engaging - we love to see all the mischievous pictures on your Facebook feed. Thank you for everything.

My father spent the last 18-months of his life in the emotionally-warm, supportive setting of Tegfield House. The staff rightly needed to wear masks and so he found it difficult to identify specific individuals but from his comments, I gather he found all the staff members involved in his care to be equally supportive and helpful. His room, in which he chose to spend almost all his time, was light and bright and kept clean by diligent staff members. He had the option of participating in a wide range of activities, but the staff respected his wish to refrain from this. During his final few weeks, as throughout all his time there, he was treated with great respect and kindness and ended his days peacefully in the setting he had come to consider his final home. I cannot praise or recommend the staff and management more highly.

My dear old mum just passed away at almost 101, having lived the last four years at Tegfield House. I cannot say enough thanks to all the Tegfield staff for just how very well they cared for and about her there. As I live abroad, it was with some trepidation for both mother and I when she first moved in, but she quickly became integrated into the Tegfield family and came to love the comfy, attractive home and lovely garden. It is always clean, tidy, and well maintained. There are great activities for the residents with a very talented activity director, good food and lots of cups of tea and coffee on the go, always good for older folks! Of course, the last two years have been a challenge for everyone, but the Tegfield house staff managed things with great diligence and I was never worried. I am incredibly comforted and pleased that Mum's last years were in such great surroundings with warm, kindhearted people who genuinely care about their residents. Thank you all.

My wife’s Aunt is a resident of Tegfield House. She has lived there for 10 years. I am very pleased with the care she receives. It gives my wife peace of mind to know her Aunt is so well looked after. As we live 100 miles away it is very important to have chosen the right care home. It is a bright cheerful home with a large garden which is lovely in the Summer when they have barbecues and other events for family and residents. We are all treated like one big family. We are always welcomed with great warmth. The rooms are cosy and residents can have their personal things around them. They have excellent meals served in a pleasant bright dining room. Some residents eat in their rooms. The staff are excellent as is the Manager. My wife is kept informed about any health problems and what actions have been taken. There are activities for the residents to join in with, if they want to. It was very reassuring to have video calls during the lockdown.
