Review from Rebecca H (Niece of Resident) published on 21 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My beloved Aunt was only at Tegfield for a few weeks after she moved there from hospital until she sadly died. In that time I was blown away by the care and trouble the management and staff took to look after her. They did everything they possibly could for her, making sure she had constant medical
help, making her as comfortable as possible and supporting her physically and emotionally. They were by my Aunt’s side throughout her final crisis, and I know she died supported by their warm, loving care, even though they had only known her a few weeks. They were truly outstanding – and more so given the very difficult circumstances with Covid-19. Their procedures to ensure the safety of the residents were superb. I cannot recommend Tegfield House highly enough.
Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Tegfield House

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these wonderful words about the time your lovely Aunt spent with us at Tegfield House. It was our pleasure and privilege to care for her and we only wish that we had had more time to get to know her and her loving family too.

Tegfield House is simply superb. The staff care and take time to talk to the residents. The food is good. The house is homely and the garden is large. The residents have a glass of wine on Sundays, entertainers some evenings and celebrate bonfire night and the rest.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's so reassuring to know that Mum is in the best possible place with high standards of care and attention to detail. We really feel that Tegfield is a 'home' but with the added bonus of caring, professional staff who are always willing to go the extra mile. Mum moved in just before Covid hit and
not being able to see her was very hard. Knowing that we had full confidence in the care she was receiving was extremely comforting. We are now able to visit (socially distanced in the garden) and it's a joy to see how much more settled she is and to witness how well she gets on with those caring for her.

Mum has been resident for almost a year now and we have peace of mind that she is living her golden years in the best place. Staff are always welcoming when we visit and will make time to have a chat. I love viewing pictures of everyone having such a good time. Staff go above and beyond in my opinion
and are always happy to do so. Mum enjoys her new home and we feel like the staff and other residents are an extended family.

Review from Charlotte M (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Tegfield House for over two years, and I feel so lucky that she was able to get in. She has a beautiful room where she can see the garden from both windows, and the team who have been looking after her throughout this time has been pretty consistent. The love and care she is shown,
by a team of highly professional carers who are rightly proud of what they do, is humbling. It isn't easy - as we reach the end of our lives, more and more stops working often causing immense frustration which we can take out on those closest to us or those looking after us, but the team understands that. If something has changed in my mother's care, I can ask anyone and they will know why. They are also very good at looking after me when I visit, despite everything else going on. It is immensely comforting for me to know she is in such good hands. In my view, they thoroughly deserve the 'outstanding' rating they recently achieved.

My mother has been very happy at Tegfield House. The staff are always so friendly and caring and are incredibly patient. I'm so glad that we found a place for her here. She has a lovely room as well, with a view over their beautiful garden.
They make a real effort as well with the social events that

We have been very pleased with Tegfield House and the care that my Mum is receiving there. It is a very homely place and always makes me feel welcome. The Manager is excellent, hugely understanding and wise. We have been very pleased with the caring approach of the staff. Even now, when I am unable

My mother-in-law has settled in very well at Tegfield House. The carers are very kind and always available. The food is excellent with a lovely atmosphere in the dining room. The garden is a lovely space for walking and relaxing. The residents are treated with respect and encouraged to be involved in
what is their home. We are very thankful to have found such a well run care home.

My elderly friend (95) decided that, although sound of mind she was too physically wobbly to live on her own. Her family and friends were surprised at her decision to move to a home, but Tegfield House has proved us wrong. The old lady is in a clean, comfortable room surrounded by her favourite belongings,
and is able to do all the things with her family and friends with the comfort, safety and company to return to. The staff make a real effort to ensure the physical and metal care of everybody.

Dad's home is always clean, well staffed by friendly, experienced care workers and the atmosphere is calm, positive and welcoming. I can pop in anytime and staff give me updates on what Dad has been doing and who he has interacted with. The gardens and communal rooms are clean, tidy and well supplied
with soft drinks, comfortable chairs etc. I feel very grateful that Dad is being so well cared for by happy, considerate staff. They look after me too. I like the way every resident is treated as a valued and unique individual in the home community. The manager is particularly compassionate, informative and a really good leader.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of care is exceptional, personalised and individual, understanding the needs of and the underlying character of each resident - as well as how they interact, to create as harmonious a place as possible. The staff create a genuinely warm and caring atmosphere, and both the house and gardens
are beautiful - well maintained, with the feel of a real home. The food is amazing, and they put a priority on ensuring that relatives are involved as far as they want - with events and parties etc. We are always made to feel incredibly welcome when visiting. Our father moved into Tegfield House on the death of our mother - our father's carer - last year. The staff have helped our father - and us - to adjust to these new circumstances. I always leave the home after a visit, confident that my father is in the best place for him, in an exceptionally warm and caring environment, and that he is happy and settled.

My parents both had dementia and moved into Tegfield House in late 2017.
My father died a year later and the standard of care and compassion displayed by all the members of staff was truly wonderful.
I couldn't have asked for better.
My mother is still at Tegfield, in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's,
still receiving excellent care.
I've no hesitation in recommending Tegfield.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since we first started looking around at residential homes for our mother, Tegfield stood out as a particularly homely place. We liked the fact that Tegfield was relatively small and had a great friendly feel from the first moment you arrive. Key for us was that it felt like to sort of place mum could
make her home and we particularly loved the garden. That was a big part of our decision. The staff are fantastic and extremely caring - nothing is too much trouble.
Noticeably, low staff turnover has got to be a good sign.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.658) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.658 for Tegfield House is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.658
  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 Tegfield House is based on 20 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 20 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.

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.
