Very happy with my visit to Barchester The Field House Care Home, everyone is happy.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we enjoy welcoming you into our home and we now look forward to your visits.
Visiting a friend who was a resident for a week of respite care. The staff were very warm, friendly and professional. Very impressed with the wide range of activities on offer. Lovely building and grounds and my friend's room was comfortable and clean. She was very happy to be there. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review, we endeavour to provide a bespoke home-from-home environment and I am glad that our beautiful home met your expectations. We look forward to inviting you to Field House again soon.
Made very welcome when visiting my mum. Staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and flexible. It's always a pleasure to visit Field House.
Thank you for your kind review, it is always a pleasure to welcome you.
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.
Thank you for the lovely review, we have really enjoyed watching this social development and Mom's well-being grow and grow.
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.
Thank you so much for the kind review. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
A very friendly and polite staff, making sure we had refreshments on arrival. A clean and well-kept home. Very impressed.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am very happy that you received a warm welcome and we look forward to welcoming you again.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review, we look forward to welcoming you to Field House again soon.
Really good that it's a small care home rather than a big one where the residents are just a number.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
My wife and I stayed for a weeks respite after her surgery, the care shown was good and great care was taken of diet requirements. Overall, a good experience she need care again we know where to come.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we hope that your wife is recovering well and we hope to see you again soon for a visit.
Thank you for looking after us so well.
We are always open for you to come and visit us for coffee and cake.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
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.
Thank you for your kind review, we hope that your wife made a full recovery following her surgery.
We look forward to welcoming you into Field House again to enjoy coffee and cake.
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.
We hope that you had a safe journey home.
What a fantastic place to enrich the lives of our friends and loved ones
Thank you so much for a lovely review, we welcome you at any time to join us at Field House for some coffee and cake and a lovely chat.
I enjoy living at Field House. Food and friends are very good. The staff most caring, love living here and it's very clean.
When you came to Field House you were so worried about the change, but you have settled so well, and you always say that you would not change a thing.
We hope that we get to make memories together for many years to come.
I believe Mum really likes it here. The staff are amazing and go out of their way to look after her. They are also very welcoming whenever I visit. It truly is a home-from-home. Mum loves the food here and it is so good to see her enjoying meal times again.
We love accommodating you to have your family meals and get-togethers, it is a pleasure to be a part of.
We hope to have you in our family for many years to come.
Mum is really well looked after here. The staff always go out of their way to make sure she's happy and comfortable and are always very welcoming when I visit. The activities are great for keeping Mum busy and it feels very homely and tidy.
She holds excellent relationships with everyone in the Field House family.
We love that we are always a part of your family get togethers and you never just visit Mom, you visit us all.
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.
We thank you for the pleasure of his company within our Field House family.
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.
We enjoy welcoming people into the home and we welcome you to attend all of the events that we hold within the home.
We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
My friend is transformed since she went to live at The Field House Care Home. She started eating well and looks so much better. he loves the company and has nothing but praise for the staff who also make us very welcome when we visit weekly.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, we look forward to welcoming you into the home again very soon and we hope that you can attend all of the upcoming events that we are holding.
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.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I am constantly speaking with residents to find out what foods they prefer, the way they like things presented and how I can make every meal a great experience.
