Overall Experience

Mum has settled into Barchester The Field House Care Home and is enjoying the activities and trips out. The carers are excellent and Mum is very well taken care of. The range of activities provided and organised for residents is excellent and carried out with great patience and good humour. Mum loves speaking about the board games, quizzes and other events. Everyone is very helpful and ensures that Mum feels looked after and cared for.

During our visit to our family member, the staff were friendly, helpful and gave us respect and privacy during our visit. They were respectful towards both us and our family member. The room and the home itself were beautifully presented and the views from our family member's room were beautiful. The home had a warm and comfortable atmosphere and our family member expressed her happiness at living there. Lots of activities.

Overall Experience

From the moment I stepped into Field House, I was greeted very warmly and with a lovely smile from a carer. She escorted myself and family to my auntie's room. We were then brought hot drinks, again with very friendly carers. The whole place was immaculately clean. Looking forward to visiting my aunty again in such a lovely, homely place.

Review from P C (Niece of Resident) published on 8 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
After visiting different care homes in the Shropshire area, we came across "Field House". It felt more like a first-class hotel rather than a care home.

Really good that it's a small care home rather than a big one where the residents are just a number.

Reply from Paula Wiggan, Manager at Barchester Field House Care Home
Thank you so much for your lovely review; we are so happy that we give the impression that we aim for and that you are happy with the service that we provide.

Overall Experience

I went into respite care in June/July and was impressed from the start. I was invited for coffee and biscuits to do the paperwork, or they were happy to come to me, I had a wonderfully warm welcome and was really happy for my stay. I have been back several times since, to afternoon tea, garden fete and Christmas fayre and have always been welcomed. I would be more than happy to stay there again in the future.

Review from M D (Cousin of Resident) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I visited my cousin for the first time today as part of a larger group. The welcome was warm and genuine and my cousin clearly feels at home. His room is wonderful - bright, well decorated and his own furniture makes the transition easier. We were told of quiz events, social evenings and enjoyable mealtimes. I was able to speak to the manager and employee of the month (September) - both of whom were professional and kind.

I visited my friend's mom and the welcome I received was fantastic, the home was clean and tidy and nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. I was given coffee and cake and when I left I felt like I had been out for afternoon tea.

Review from Kim S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Dad came to The Field House Care Home in February on respite care. The manager and the team have been amazing with him. He very quickly settled in and we realised that he was much better staying at Field House rather than going home. He is cared for brilliantly, he has gone from having no appetite to eating well and putting weight on. The member of staff does amazing the activities and I am shocked that Dad is joining in with them all. He is smiling and happy all the time which is something I haven't seen for a long time when he was at home. Massive thanks to all at Field House.

I have now visited my friend in the home about 6 times and have found the atmosphere homely and have found a big improvement in my friend's physical and mental state. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Nothing seems to be much trouble for them. The food is extremely good and varied and my friend has got her appetite, which she had lost before she came into the home.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, we are so glad that we have had such an amazing impact on her life.

My father regarded The Field House Care Home as his second home. He was incredibly happy there and regarded the staff with great affection and as his friends. Dad was always treated with respect and as an individual. The standard of care was exceptional. I have no problem recommending Field House to anyone who is looking for quality, professional and individual care in a homely, friendly and loving environment.
