Barchester Field House Care Home

I was only in Field House for 2 weeks respite care. The staff are very friendly, caring & excellent in their duties. Nothing is too much trouble. Any special requests for food are always taken care of.

Will definitely return and would recommend to friends and family

Before her health declined Grandma enjoyed all the activities on offer & it was lovely to hear all about them on our visits.

When my mother turned 100 Field House put on several celebrations - one for her fellow residents, a party for the family and a small lunch for friends. Communications were v. good and nothing was too much trouble. We had a v. festive weekend and I thank all concerned. The staff are wonderful - and many thanks to Caroline.

My mother has been at Field House for 2 years now. She has been very happy ever since she moved in, her mood improved dramatically after living on her own throughout the weeks, (coming to stay with us only at weekends) The staff are friendly & jolly, and encourageing my mother to get involved in the many fun & interesting activities they provide constantly.

The staff were so kind & made me feel very welcome. It was so warm & friendly & nothing was too much trouble. I had a lovely lunch & always enjoy my visits to Field House.

I have visited my friend almost weekly and it has been a real joy to see her within weeks of moving there after a long spell of hospital stays; recovered, restored to her old self. She has been personally cared for in many way. Not just physically with nurses and food but made to laugh - known for who she is. Each visit I have witnessed the carers happy smiley faces. It is small enough to behave as a family. Wonderful, and I and my husband are very thankful.

My gran absolutely loves it here & has just celebrated her 84th birthday where she felt so spoilt and loved. After loosing my grandad last year this is the very best place for her and we cannot recommend Paula and the girls enough!

The care provided to my mother by the entire team at Field House has been exceptional. Since moving in, she's been settled, well cared for, and all her needs fully met. She's become very sociable and enjoys a wide range of engaging activities that always give us plenty to talk about when we visit. The food is excellent, with great choice and quality, and staff happily accommodate individual requests. My mother mentioned to the chef that she hadn't had a Queen of Puddings in years - he made one the next day, and she said it was delicious. Those thoughtful touches mean so much. All staff are friendly, polite, and attentive, and the home is immaculate and welcoming with lovely communal areas, especially the upstairs lounge. Communication is excellent, with staff keeping families fully informed. Paula and Stephanie lead the team superbly - they are a credit to Barchester.

Very good care and support for my mother over the last 12 months. Most impressed with the staff ratios including weekends, range of activities and quality of food and personal care. My mother has had some health challenges in this period which can be expected given her age but the staff have communicated and assisted us in managing these. Many thanks to all involved

I have stayed for respite care at Field House before & have always had a good experience there. The staff & management are friendly & helpful & because of its size the home always has a warm & welcoming feel. All the residents know each other & are encouraged to join in various group activities. The staff work well together & for me personally I have found it to be "a home from home".

I try to visit her almost everyday but sometimes it's not possible but it's always reassuring to know she is in a nice residencial home that there is a lot happening , activities , lovely meals and great care. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending FH .

Mum went in for post op care in Oct 24 and she has Alzheimer's. Field House was highly recommended by a friend of mum's who has made it his permanent home. From the first step in the door I knew it was the place to be. Four months on it has turned out to be such a godsend. For mum she has regained her physical health, made good friends, got a stable happy safe life with round the clock care from people she respects and likes. She feels the team can't do enough for her and particularly "treat me as normal, even when I do daft things"! My anxiety levels about mum's wellbeing, from when she lived in her own home, have dropped completely and the advice and guidance I've received from the team has been invaluable. They are definitely doing something very right and go the extra mile to make the home caring and fun. They do an incredibly difficult job and mum and I are hugely appreciative.

Very comfortable home. Dedicated staff. Mum is very well cared for and enjoys the food and activities.

Community lunch - excellent food, lovely atmosphere. Thank you for your support of local groups.

Wonderful visit for a charity lunch today - we were treated with care and respect from start to finish, we will be back!

Barchester The Field House Care Home is a lovely care home. Our dad came here soon after our mum died - he was frail, sad and withdrawn - he has settled in so well and has a whole new lease of life. It is such a friendly, active home - lots of trips out, entertainment and activities. He is so well looked after and happy. We can not fault it.

Keep on with what you are doing, it's brilliant

Friendly, helpful and respectful staff. Lovely environment. Very homely. Caring and supportive atmosphere. Excellent all round. All residents look cared for and happy.
