Over all time Clanfield Residential Care Home has 26 reviews.
The management team were caring and efficient in every aspect from getting medical treatment quickly to keeping me informed and making sure all requirements were taken care of.
The brilliant caring came from absolutely every member of the staff from carers, catering staff and the cleaners. I can never thank them enough, they made my father's last months a pleasure for him and always welcomed my regular visits and my family's with open arms.
Excellent, excellent, excellent
Thank you, for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to have cared for such an honourable and straight talking gentleman. During his time with us it was a great joy to witness the new close friendships he made with other residents that was heart warming and came as a great surprise to your father; he admitted this was not what he expected. He will be greatly missed by us all at Clanfield.
My Partner and i have worked as service providers at Nursing / Residential Homes. We both understand the difficulty in maintaining high standards in care. Unfortunately, we witnessed some Homes lacking in empathy towards their residents and showed little promise in turning things around.
You just know what you would want for a loved one and Clanfield has displayed an endless amount of care, love and compassion towards our Mum. The Staff have given her a new lease of life over the past three years and we are indebted to them all. This home should be the gold standard template for all.
Your mum, and her family have become part of our Clanfield family, and it has been a privilege and a pleasure to have...
We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that Clanfield had a place available for Mum when she needed it. Having been diagnosed with terminal cancer she was determined to stay at home as long as possible. However, she eventually agreed that she needed to be somewhere where she could receive the round-the-clock care she needed. Sadly, she had only ten days with the lovely people at Clanfield before she died. But those ten days were probably amongst the happiest she had spent over the last year since her diagnosis. There is a culture of warm, loving care at Clanfield set by the longstanding members of staff and copied by the younger carers. Mum felt loved, valued and secure and died in her lovely room, with her carers by her bedside. Our only regret was that her time at Clanfield was so short. But we will remain eternally grateful to every member of the Clanfield team for making her final days so special.
Thank you for you very kind words. It is lovely to hear we made such a huge difference in such a short space of time. We also wish we had more time with your mum, she was such a dear lady. But we are very proud to hear that her days with us were both special and amongst her happiest in recent times.
There are no words to adequately express our grateful thanks to each and every one of the team at Clanfield Residential Care Home who took such great care of my father. The building may look a little shabby but is clean and well maintained and the quality of care the residents get is second to none. All the staff show the ultimate kindness, respect and compassion to the residents and the Care staff are very efficient when it comes to any medical issues the residents may have. My father had several hospital appointments during his time there and a member of the staff accompanied us which was such a help to me. Entertainment in the form of singers, dancers and talks is arranged for the residents on a weekly basis and my father particularly enjoyed the 'games' afternoons. During my father's stay at Clanfield it became like a second family to us as we got to know many of the staff by name.
Thank you for your kind words of praise. It was our great pleasure to have cared for your father. He was a wonderful man. He fully engaged with life at Clanfield and formed great friendships along the way. He will be missed by us all and especially by those residents who laughed and enjoyed life with him. You will always be part of our family and welcome anytime, it would be lovely to see you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review. It was our pleasure to have known and cared for your mum. Whenever you're passing call in and say 'Hello', you will always be part of our family.
I can't express enough how grateful I am for Clanfield Residential Care Home. From the moment you step through their doors, you feel a sense of warmth and love that's simply unmatched. The staff - caregivers, admin, kitchen, cleaners and maintenance are all incredible. The caregivers provide unparalleled kindness, respect, and compassion. The admin staff ensures everything runs smoothly, the kitchen staff prepares meals that bring comfort and joy, the cleaners keep the environment spotless and welcoming and the maintenance team ensures everything is in perfect condition. Together, they create a home filled with joy and dignity, making every day special for their residents. Clanfield truly stands as the heartbeat of the care industry. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you did for my lovely dad. He settled so quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the company of the residents, especially his breakfast buddies and the lovely ladies and gentlemen in the sun lounge. Bless you!
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was our great honour to be there for both you and your dad. Will miss him greatly. You will always be part of our family, please call in whenever you are passing and if the season's right you may be able to enjoy a plum or two!
We chose this home because of the homely feel to it and we just got a good feeling about everything. Ok, it could do with a lick of paint etc, but please don't right this off because of that. We can't rate this home and its staff high enough.
On the day she passed they were with her and us until the end, they were there for us each step of the way.
We are so very thankful she passed here, with people who loved her. Thanks to you all.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was our honour to have been there for you all. All our residents are very special to us, and they, and their families become part of our family. You were no exception. Your Mum will always be part of us and so will you.
She loved her short time at the home and I only wish she had gone to you sooner.
Right up to the end she was treated with love, dignity and respect and so was I as I sat with her in her bedroom.
All the seniors were exceptional, they answered my many questions and gave me comfort when I was upset. The wonderful support staff that kept her comfortable and clean and her clothes fresh and her room tidy. The amazing cook who let me make teas in her kitchen and gave me biscuits and cake. The lovely ladies in the office who always did everything they could to help me and the lovely staff member who always had time for my mum for a chat and a laugh.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Clanfield was the perfect homely ended we all wished for. Beautiful home and gardens.
It's a very special place and I would recommend it to anyone.
Although your mum was only with us a short time, she still became very special to us. It was our honour to have had the opportunity to got to know her and her lovely sense of humour, to have cared for her, and to have supported you all at a time when you needed us most. An absolute pleasure, thank you.
The staff take the time to get to know each and every resident - they notice even the smallest changes in behaviour immediately acting on this whether this requires medical or social to support.
The interior of the house may be a little tired but I cannot fault the care and attention given by the amazing staff. I have no hesitation in recommending clanfield to anyone looking for residential care for a loved one.
Thank you for your very kind words. Your mum was a very dear lady and it was a such a wonderful thing to witness her gradually opening up to us, like a beautiful flower. We have many wonderful memories of your mum joining in with our fun, captured last Christmas so brilliantly!
We would highly recommend Clanfield Residential Care Home.
Thank you for your lovely words and taking the time to leave a review. We hope all goes well and if we can offer any further support or guidance, please do get in touch.
Nothing is ever too much trouble to the carers or management and mum was always offered autonomy in her stay there.
There's no time to be bored at Clanfield as morning and afternoon activities and shows are provided ranging from bingo to musicians.
If you have any concerns about how well your loved one will be cared for then Clanfield will put those concerns aside. The care is second to none!! I'd recommend this care home to any potential resident who want the freedom of choice in their decision making whilst staying in a residential care that feels like their cosy home.
Thank you for your very kind words. It was our absolute pleasure and honour to have had your mother living with us at Clanfield. As you say, she embraced life here with us in our home, sharing her sense of fun and energy with us all, both fellow residents and staff. She will always be remembered by us all and is still missed very much.
I found Mum's care to be exemplary for both her physical health and emotional well-being. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff who were always available, approachable, informative and friendly. I experienced professionalism and love that always went the extra mile for everyone, including me.
Mum and I became part of the Clanfield family and I miss them all enormously. Thank you Clanfield for being there when Mum and I needed you most.
Thank you for your beautiful review. We will always remember your mum and you will always be part of our family. The kettle is always on.
My mother was resident in Clanfield for the last five months of her life. She died 1st July 2023 at the age of 107 years. Those last months were made much easier by the care and attention Mother received from the carers and all the staff at the home. They also had time for my brother, who had been Mother's carer for most of her last years and finally letting go was difficult. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clanfield to anyone looking for a care home.
Thank you for your review. It was our complete honour and pleasure to have cared for your mother. It's fabulous to know that our care and support that also extended to your family, helped your brother during this period. We have all noted your mother's tip for longevity, 'A morning cuppa with a shot of brandy!'
It was one of the hardest decisions we as a family had to make as Mum didn't want to go in a home but we knew that we could no longer give her the care that she needed. Mum did not make it easy for the staff in the beginning but they won her round and in the end, they became her family too. She was always treated with dignity and respect and the care she received was second to none. The staff kept us up to date with things and always made us feel welcome whenever we visited.
The family were all there when Mum passed away and when we thanked the staff for all the care that she received, this comment will stay with us forever. A member of staff whom Mum had become very close to said, and I quote "No, thank you, for letting us care for your mum".
We couldn't have asked for any more.
Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure to have cared for your mum. She was a lovely lady with a great sense of humour. We are very proud of our staff and it is lovely when their hard work is acknowledged.
My father was a resident at Clanfield for a few months before he died and in that time the care and respect he was shown was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and my sister and I were updated regularly on his health. I would thoroughly recommend Clanfield to anyone looking for care for an elderly relative.
Thank you for your review. It was our upmost pleasure to have cared for your father.
My grandfather was a resident at Clanfield for eight years and was the happiest and most relaxed he had ever been. At all times he was treated with dignity and respect and always given complete autonomy over his care. He was able to choose where he spent his time and eat his meals. If he chose to stay in his room that was no problem. He loved all the staff and became very close to many of them. In my opinion, the care he received was outstanding in all respects. Nothing was ever too much trouble and there was always excellent communication from the management whenever there were any problems, that were always promptly resolved.
It was our honour to have cared for your grandfather. He was a true gentleman. Over the eight years he left us with a very lasting impression and will continue to be missed at Clanfield. Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
The care she received was fantastic, her medical needs were catered for, and she was treated as another human being, not just another old person to be looked after.
Clanfield always kept me up to date on Mum's health and always welcomed me when I visited.
The day I took Mum to stay at Clanfield was one of the hardest days of my life, but as soon as we arrived members of staff met us outside, took Mum's hand, and said "how about a nice cup of tea." Mum walked in and never looked back, it was obvious to me at that point that Mum had gone to the right place.
Such a lovely review, thank you. She was a pleasure to care for and we all miss her dearly at Clanfield. We do strive to create a family home environment and to help our residents, and their relatives, feel part of our family.
My grandmother has joined Clanfield on many occasions for day care. She thoroughly enjoyed each and every visit. The entertainment and staff are amazing and were more than welcoming to her. She was provided with lovely food and drinks on tap. As a family, we are very grateful for the times she spent at Clanfield and for management for accommodating my grandma's needs.
It is always a pleasure having your grandmother join us for day sessions. I am so pleased to hear she enjoys her time with us during her visits. Thank you.
Came here for a couple of weeks respite care. Staff were universally helpful, attentive, friendly and caring. Made many good friends I'll miss now I'm home. Food is all home-made and unbelievably good. Thank you so much for looking after me. If I need respite care again, I'll be back.
I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with us at Clanfield. It is wonderful to have such a positive review from the perspective of a someone who has directly experienced our care and our home. Thank you. We would be delighted to be there for you again in the future, should the need arise.
I could not have wished for a better place for my mum to be during this time. Whilst there I witnessed the highest standard of care and the environment was warm, friendly and more than comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clanfield to anyone looking for a safe, clean environment for their loved ones.
We pride ourselves on our End of Life Care. Your valued review reassures us we continue to provide the best support and care for all concerned at such a sensitive time. Thank you.
