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!
Reply from Lindsay Mahoney, Hospitality & Well-being Lead at Tegfield HouseIt's great to hear how happy you are with your mother's care at Tegfield House. We are pleased that your mum is happy and settled and that the staff are looking after her well and that she is enjoying the meals and the activities provided. Thank you for taking the time to write this review and we will pass on these kind words to all the staff at Tegfield House.

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.
Reply from Jenni Laffoley, Brand Marketing Manager at Tegfield HouseThank you for taking the time to leave your comments, the team will be pleased to hear this. We will review your feedback regarding the TV programme selection.

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.
Reply from Diana Nisbet, Marketing Executive at Tegfield HouseIt's so kind of you to take the time and trouble to submit such a lovely review of our Tegfield House home, at what must be a difficult time for you and your family following your aunt's death. We're sure that the team at Tegfield will be very grateful to hear your comments and we send you our warm wishes.

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.
Reply from Diana Nisbet, Marketing Executive at Tegfield HouseThank you so much for your support in the community for our Tegfield home - for what amounts to nearly 50 years! Your very kind comments about our staff and the care they provide are so valued and gratefully received and we will take much pleasure in passing this on to the team. We're so glad to hear that your former German teacher is enjoying life at Tegfield and thanks again for taking the time to submit such a wonderful review.

Tegfield House have cared for my 101 year old aunt for more years than I can remember! Somewhere around 15 I guess?
I've never once had cause to be anything other than delighted with the day to day care she receives. It's absolutely first class.
Plus I can't visit that often as I live a long way away,
but they regularly supply updates online and I often see smiling, happy photos of Aunty.
Nothing is too much trouble, I can even email them a letter and it will be printed out and given to her that same day.
All in all - a fantastic care home run by lovely people. Thank you Tegfield.
Reply from Jenni Laffoley, Marketing Manager (Brand) at Tegfield HouseThank you so much for your kind review. We absolutely love having your aunt living with us. We know it's difficult to visit, so we will always do everything we can to keep you and your family updated on your aunt's care and details of what she has been up to, it's our pleasure to help in any way we can.

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.
Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Tegfield HouseThank you so much for your lovely comments about Tegfield House. It was our pleasure and privilege to support your father, who was such a kind, clever and gentle man. We will share your gratitude and appreciation with all the Tegfield team who looked after him.

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.
Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Tegfield HouseWhat a wonderful review of Tegfield House. We cannot begin to tell you how much we all adored your mother. Her beautiful smile lit up our lives and it was such a pleasure to care for her. We shall never forget her 100th birthday party last year which was such an elegant and fun afternoon. We shall share your thanks and gratitude with all our terrific Tegfield team. She will be remembered by us all, with much love and affection.

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.

My father has been at Tegfield House since mid June this year. He has settled in really well and definitely regards it as his home now. The manager and her amazing team were fantastic at helping Dad settle in and answered all of our questions with patience and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble.
They organised his paintings to be put up on the walls and helped to make his room cosy and homely. All the carers have been fantastic and have such a genuinely kind and thoughtful way when they speak to Dad - it is lovely to see. On August 12th, Dad turned 100 and the Tegfield staff organised a fabulous birthday morning. Some naval personnel attended and presented Dad with a certificate. A beautiful cake had been made, accompanied by singing by residents and family. The residents had also made a lovely banner. It was such a special morning. Thank you to all. An article with photos appeared in the local newspaper coordinated by Hartford Care and the home manager.

It was marvellous to be able to visit my mother-in-law again after a year of lockdown turmoil. Meeting with her behind screens and across a table previously did not work too well owing to her health condition – we may just have well been on a screen many miles away! But being able to be with her and
care for her in her room was a hopeful sign of life the way it was. It is clear that she is happy and well cared for. Her food is well prepared and nutritious. Perhaps soon we will be able to take her for a short ride to enjoy a coffee outdoors, legislation permitting!
Thank you to all the staff who must have had a harrowing year and worked so hard to maintain their own well-being and those of the residents like my mother-in-law.

Mum has been a resident at Tegfield House in Winchester since December 20. As a family, we were extremely anxious about the move as Mum had had a very troubling year mentally, with harrowing experiences for her and for us to contend with whilst in hospital and at another care home. We really should
not have worried. From the start, Mum has been happy, comfortable and confident in the care she receives at Tegfield and as a result, whilst still struggling sometimes to come to terms with her advancing years, is happier now than for a very long time. Tegfield is a lovely place to be, but what makes it truly special are the people that work there. It is obvious to us that they love their work and feel deeply for the residents in their care. It has been a joy to see so much of "The Old Mum" return, including her sense of humour and an interest in the wider world. Thank you, Tegfield, for rescuing Mum and us from our anxiety. We all rest easy, knowing she could not be in a better place.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.528)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.528) out of 10 for Tegfield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.603 for Tegfield House is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.603
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tegfield House 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews.

Sarah Robertson

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

I am honoured to introduce myself as the manager of Tegfield House. With over 30 years of experience in elderly care, I have always been passionate about ensuring people living in care homes are supported to live their best lives. This passion led me to join Hartford Care just over a year ago as the deputy manager, and I am thrilled to step into this new role.


Tegfield House is such a special place. Our home is more than just a care home; it is a family where we celebrate each individual's uniqueness, whether they are residents or staff. At Tegfield House, joy, laughter and treating everyone with the respect and level of care we would want for ourselves is something I deeply value and intend to uphold.


As we move forward together, I aim to ensure that we continue to provide outstanding care and maintain the warm, family-like environment that makes Tegfield House so wonderful. I look forward to working closely with all of you to create a place where everyone feels valued, happy, and well cared for.

I have been working in the care sector for 10 years, 7 of which were spent at Hartford Care. I began my journey at Tegfield House as a Care Assistant, gradually progressing to Senior Care Assistant, and currently, I hold the position of Head of Care.


I enjoy working at Tegfield House because it has a warm, homely atmosphere, and we continue to grow and develop as a team. I hold NVQ Level 2 and 3 qualifications and am currently working towards completing my NVQ Level 5.


I am excited to watch Tegfield House expand and continue offering exceptional care to those in need.
