Previous winner of the "East Midlands Best Small Care Home" under the Best Care Home Awards, Wallfield House assists residents to live comfortably in a calm and relaxing environment. Trained carers are available to support residents round-the-clock, each resident is helped to live as independently as possible.
The core values are based around recognising that it is, first and foremost, the home of all the residents. Staff provide support and care, whilst always respecting that they are visiting the residents’ home, rather than residents living in a workplace.
The home has a warm, homely and caring environment to ensure that each resident feels secure, happy and safe in the knowledge that well trained, friendly, caring staff are there to support and enable each resident to live a fulfilled and happy life.
The home has been tastefully decorated and each bedroom can be personalised by residents using their own furniture and belongings if they prefer.
Wallfield House will never move to a policy of buying pre-made ready meals. The home understands the importance of excellent home-made, nutritious meals and the positive impact this has on Residents. Fresh, local, nutritional food is served everyday which is adapted to suit the requirements of each individual.
Wallfield House has an excellent relationship with the GP and District Nurse service. Weekly reviews of each resident are carried out by either community matron or GP.

Mum has been a resident for a few months now. As soon as she moved in it felt like home. She's made so many new friends with the staff. She's well fed and looked after, spending so long on her own, she wishes she'd made the decision to move into Wallfield House years ago. The place does need some fresh decoration but overall the value for money is excellent.

Wallfield is a large airy Edwardian home in a small country town. The rooms are spacious and light. The dining room area is large enough for residents to gather together. The stairs and lift access to first-floor bedrooms which have integral toilets, showering is elsewhere. The kitchen areas are large, and the staff very friendly and welcoming (despite our arrival at the end of the pandemic) but, in particular, very caring, so it's a fine roomy house with great caring staff.

Although at times, being overstretched, the staff do their best to be friendly, helpful and available to answer any questions I may have. My dad's call alarm is always answered promptly. Wallfield's has the feel of a family home rather than a residents home. Emails are sent to inform relatives of any changes, alerts for fee payments or pocket money as required. Attention from the local GP surgery and district nurse is good, with podiatry and hairdressing regularly available.

My mother has been a resident of Wallfield Care Home for over two years. She is very happy there. The staff are very kind and caring. As it is a small home, she gets to know the staff well, and they know her well too. The home is welcoming, clean and bright and the food is excellent. My mother now eats very well and her tastes are catered for. She is kept well hydrated. There is a lot of attention to detail, such as china teacups and tempting food. Communication is good, staff are never too busy to answer queries and give advice. Residents are treated as individuals. Any medical needs are dealt with promptly and the community matron visits regularly. My mother is a dog lover and a therapy dog visits her once a week much to her delight. Thanks to all the staff for their care and attention to detail.

My mother has been a resident at Wallfield for nearly 3 years. The atmosphere is one of an extended family, with many of the staff living locally. They have always tried to be very accommodating to my mother's wishes, even when she has been very demanding. It is a testament to the quality of the food and care she has received, that when she had pneumonia recently and given only hours to live by the hospital, that she was able to fight off the infection and return to Wallfield in a couple of weeks. It's a relief to know that she is being cared for by people who know her, in a safe environment.

This home is ideal for my stepfather. It is conveniently situated and is very comfortable. The owners have only been running this home for a relatively short period of time, so improvements are taking some time but ongoing.

The building is old and really need redecorating in quite a few areas, some rooms have been refurbished but my mum's in not one of them. Only one room for residents to sit, so sometimes can be a bit squashed and outside space is poor but overall care I think is good.

My aunt has lived in three care homes. This home is by far the best. She settled here very quickly and is happy here. The staff are always on hand to discuss any needs and concerns and know my aunt very well. Staff are very caring and respectful.
The food is good and the rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. We have visited many homes over the last five years. I feel this is one of the better ones and I would thoroughly recommend this one.

We are very happy with my aunt's care and comforts. She is happy and has lived here for a year. She loved the visit from the local playgroup and enjoyed making poppies recently.
