Overall Experience

My mum came to this care home straight from hospital and I was impressed with the brightness and overall atmosphere. Unfortunately she was only there for 3 weeks before she passed away, but she received fantastic care, all the staff from the manager to the cleaners were wonderful ,if you are looking

for a care home for your loved one I would highly recommend this one.

I can't thank the manager and the staff enough fo the care and the love they show my beautiful mum and the rest of the residents at Wellfield. The home is clean and well run. I know my mum is safe and cared for at Wellfield. I always feel more than welcome when I visit my mum.

Review from Julie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Not had a positive experience with this care home, my mum and stepdad were both in there, both had dementia it was OK at first then they changed managers and things went downhill. My mum never looked clean and when we said anything they would say she was due a shower today. Not much in the way of entertainment

or stimulation for the residents mostly just sat in the lounge sleeping. My mum was in hospital for the last week of her life where she was properly cared for and looked after. There is a code on the front door for the resident's safety but my mum and stepdad managed to get out and walked miles to there old home address the police were called but my sister and I found them and took them back, they had been gone hours and anything could of happened to them but the home just said sorry to us and that's it. If you care about your family I would not send them to this home.

Reply from Wellfield Estates Ltd, Managing Director at Wellfield House

We are sorry to read your review and are sad to know that your lasting experience of our home has been one of concern, after your Mother enjoyed so many happy years (6) with us.We acknowledge there was a change in management 3 years ago. Our Manager has been in post at Wellfield for 11 years and during her employment with us, we have not received any concerns regarding her leadership. Following your mother's sad decline, we followed the appropriate procedures in line with our legal and regulatory responsibilities to ensure she received the correct level of care. We take the trust placed in us by families seriously and it's important to acknowledge that you entrusted us with your mother's care for 6 years. It is saddening for our team, many of whom knew and cared for your mother over the years, to read such a negative account after so many years of shared trust. Nonetheless, we remain respectful of your comments and we offer our heartfelt condolences at this very difficult time.

Overall Experience

This home is the best from the manager to the cleaners. They treat residents with the utmost love, respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble and they always make you feel welcome and keep family well informed of what is happening. I find I cannot thank them enough for the care they gave my dad.

Reply from Kerry Sumner, Home Manager at Wellfield House

Thank you for your lovely comments, Elaine. It was a pleasure looking after your Dad and I thank you for choosing Wellfield. Your families' support for your Dad and us never went unnoticed. Take care.

Review from Barry T (Son of Resident) published on 31 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Dad stayed here for respite in the middle of 2019. He was very happy and got on well with all staff. He was treated with dignity which is really important to our family. The staff are lovely and caring and had a true affection for him. The home is bright and has a very homely feel. Whenever I visited

there was always things to do although my Dad chose not to always join in. Food always looked good with plenty of choice and help to eat it if required and my Dad gained weight whilst he stayed here.
The manager was very approachable and always had time to talk to me. On a few occasions, I found the manager helping in the dining room and sat chatting with residents which made me feel happier about leaving my Dad at Wellfield.
I would highly recommend this spotless homely home to anyone.

Review from Dawn W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 18 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Wellfield House are amazing. Last year they got a new manager who is the perfect fit for the wonderful staff. The care and genuine kindness they show to the residents is fantastic. When visiting my mother-in-law, I have overheard dozens of conversations between the staff and residents.

Every conversation was a pleasure to listen to as the staff are always positive and upbeat even though they work non stop. The home is always spotless. If you have any worries or concerns they will be dealt with as soon as is possible. We have always been made welcome when visiting. We are kept up to date with our loved ones care and notified immediately of any serious concerns. We tell everyone how lucky we are to have our loved one in this care home. We tell the staff how thankful we are for the amazing job they do. I am willing to speak to anyone who is unsure about putting their loved one into Wellfield House, as it will be the best decision you ever make.

Reply from Kerry Sumner, Home Manager at Wellfield House

Thank you for your lovely words, such a nice review Dawn which is greatly appreciated by all at Wellfield House.

Overall Experience

This is a very clean and pleasant home for a loved one. My Aunty is a resident and at first it was a change for her but now shes settled loving having the residents to communicate with and has never complained about the service staff. The atmosphere is of a homely one, staff are friendly and listen

to and implement any requests re clients. They are work conscious and always available.

Review from Terence H (Son of Resident) published on 14 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother came to Wellfield care home in January 2016 from the MRI, we had been looking around care homes since December 2015 and we found Wellfield care home
the best. The staff made you welcome and friendly, plus when we turned up without notice we were made welcome and was shown around straight

away where in some of the other homes we were made to wait before being shown around. I would recommend Wellfield care home to friends and to any body else who asked. Cannot find fault with the home, keep the good work up many thanks to all the staff.
