I feel much better having had a week of respite care and the staff have all been very helpfull. Lovely food and a super place to come to rejuvanate and relax away from lifes trials.
I was still able to go home daily and see to my garden which is great for my independence.
Many thanks field house.

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.

Review from Jenny P (Friend of Resident) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Paula Wiggan, Manager at Barchester Field House Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we love welcoming you into our home on your visits.

Review from John R (Son of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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".

Review from Jane G (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Clare H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father has been resident in Barchester The Field House Care Home for 18 months now. When he arrived he was withdrawn and depressed as we had recently lost our mum, his wife of 70 years.
He has blossomed in a way I would not have believed possible. He takes part in all the activities and is constantly telling me what he has been doing. The staff are amazing they look after him in a respectful manner and are kind and attentive. Everything is clean and organised and the food is lovely, always with a choice.
I really can find no fault in the care we/he receives. I am disabled myself and they are always on hand to help me as well as dad.

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

Reply from Paula Wiggan, Manager at Barchester Field House Care Home
