Mum's been in respite for a couple of weeks now. We were very nervous about putting her into a care home, but the staff at Summer Fields have helped and supported us so much during this emotional time, we felt reassured that mum would be happy there ... and she is! We can call them or visit mum anytime. They answer all our questions fully and they've made us feel like nothing is too much trouble. As for mum, she settled in immediately, which is testament to the team and how they've helped her. There's always something for residents to do, with films, bingo, activies, music and dancing. Mum is so well cared for and we've seen a positve difference in her already. They're able to provide the care for our mum that we simply can't and if mum can't be at home, then Summer Fields is definitely the place we want her to be and her smile says that mum agrees. A huge thank you to all the team x
Thank you so much for your amazing comments, this will most certainly be passed on to the rest of the team. This is always lovely to hear that we are making a difference not only to the residents but also to families, putting them at ease during what can only be a worrying time. Thank you
My mum moved in May last year, she has amazing care from the staff, they let her call me when she gets anxious, she has settled in well, even when she thinks she works there, the staff will give her something to do. Mum is always happy when we visit, her room has a view of Liverpool as well.
Thank you for this lovely review. It is a pleasure caring for your mum
The staff have a genuine regard for the welfare of the residents and engage with them in a friendly and professional manner.
Thank you for the positive feedback. We have a new activities co-ordinator who is making excellent strides to improve how activities are delivered to the varying needs of the residents. Please let me know if there is anyway you feel we can improve further in this area.
Over the last 2 years, proper boss people who care. It's a lovely family-oriented place.
Thanks for the feedback. We really value the relationships that build up with families as well as the residents and hope you always feel welcome in the home
Lovely staff, very kind with Mum.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We welcome any and all opinions and value the time taken to let us know how we are doing. I will feed this back to our staff
Went in to see him and he was not dressed properly, had no pull ups on only his jeans and was told he dressed himself, do they not check if they have undies on, he had someone else's pyjama top on that was two sizes too small for him. Sitting in the lounge he was kept in the quiet side as they have a quiet side and a lively side. When I asked for him to be taken to the lively side in the day I was told oh they are too busy to have another there! Would never ever recommend this place to anyone.
It is regrettable to receive such negative feedback. Especially when I know we all work so hard to meet the varied and complex needs of the residents. However we take everyone's comments on board, negative or otherwise and look at what we can do to improve. What must be acknowledged, at least in...
I was looking for a nursing home for my brother and after visits to other nursing homes, which I didn't like, I was so pleased to have found Summer Fields Care Home. I was immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere and the kindness of the staff, including management. The residents are treated with dignity and there is a calming atmosphere.
Thank you for your feedback. As always I will pass this on to all of our staff.
When visiting my wife, I found the staff to be consistently attentive and helpful. My wife is always clean and tidy and mainly in good spirits. Her room is always clean and tidy.
Thank you for your kind feedback. As always I will pass this on to our staff.
My dad has been at Summer Fields for just over a year now. It is the best place that he has been in. The staff are wonderful, my Dad says that the food is good (apparently he often has seconds), and his room is nice. I feel confident that he is being looked after and well cared for.
Thank you so much for your Feedback. Very much appreciated. I will pass on to all of the staff.
Mum has been treated with dignity and excellent personal care, encouraged with diet and fluids especially as due to illness she has had a lot of weight loss, staff are very welcoming and caring especially one staff member in particular. Not sure of the names of the other staff yet just getting to know them, thank you for giving myself and family peace of mind knowing she's in good hands.
Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated. Any areas needed for improvement we will look at and action. In regards to the facilities and rooms, we are actively in the process of a refurb and hope to have any areas requiring attention to be rectified in the coming weeks and months. I will pass on your positive feedback to all of the staff.
My mum came to Summer Fields in late November. It has taken her a while to settle, as we expected, but know we couldn't have chosen a better home, she is so well looked after... All the staff are amazing and great with Mum and encourage her so much on a day-to-day basis. She has great fun with them all, and nothing is too much for them. All our family have been made to feel more than welcome. Summer Fields is spotless throughout. Would highly recommend it. The grounds are also lovely. Nice, quiet setting, with lovely outside space for everybody to use. Couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the staff.
Thank you so much, the positive feedback means the world to us all. Your mum is a pleasure to have here and often keeps us company in the office. I will pass on your comments to the staff. Thank you again.
Kind, caring and approachable staff at Summerfields. Dad is looked after well. I am very happy with his care. Communication is fantastic too from staff through such a difficult time for all. Very secure, so no worries about his safety.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I am very happy you are confident in the care provided. Dad seems to have settled in well.
Nothing seems to be any trouble for the staff in caring for Mum, and I know that she is comfortable at all times, and although her memory has deteriorated, I know in my heart that she loves all the staff, and on her behalf, I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. I have made friends with the staff; I treasure their friendship, and I will hold the love I have for them forever.
The staff at Summer Fields are truly exceptional in their calling, and they know exactly what I think of them, as I tell them every time I visit Mum or call.
This is such a lovely message for the staff. I am so happy and proud of the staff that they have made you feel this way and given you and your mum an experience that puts you at ease. Thank you so much for such kind and positive feedback.
My mum has been living at Summerfields Care Home since January 2023. The staff have been incredibly caring of Mum and supportive of our family since day one. It was very quickly borne upon me that the home really does care about the people they are looking after. It has also been made very clear to the family that they are there to support us all, too. We are always made welcome. There is a lovely 'family feeling' to the place, which has impressed all of our family when visiting. Thank you to all of the staff for looking after Mum so well and for making our family feel so welcome. The staff go above and beyond on a daily basis, and I suspect they do not grasp how much of a positive impact they have. Thank you.
Thank you for a lovely review. It is always brilliant to hear that the staff have a good rapport with families and families have faith in what we do. We understand that is one of the biggest worries for families, leaving the responsibility of care in the hands of strangers. So if you feel happy with the care provided, we are very pleased.
You all made my mum and me so happy, I have lost my lovely mum, but have gained some truly lovely friends, and I will never ever forget this; thank you, Summer Fields Care Home, for everything; you truly are beautiful people.
Thank you, Andrea. Your Mum was a big part of Summerfields and will be very much missed. Please stay in touch.
Our dear friend passed away this morning peacefully and was surrounded by loving and caring staff. How blessed that he was at Summer Fields. The staff were professional with a collective huge caring heart. He was treated with love and respect even after he passed. The staff are so much more than nurses and carers; they are angels quietly going about caring for our most vulnerable people. As visitors, we were treated as family, sharing our grief together. My friend was loved by all. The staff went above and beyond to make sure he was loved and respected. For that, I will always be grateful. God bless the staff at Summer Fields. I will always remember you with fondness and appreciation for loving him the way we did. They were diligent in keeping him safe and protected.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kathleen. From the moment he came to the home, he was part of Summerfields and adored by all of the staff. He will be missed by all of us here. Our thoughts are with all of you at this time.
My mum had to be admitted to a care home during the 2nd lockdown in 2020. Because of Covid, I couldn’t go and visit any home due to the restrictions, so went on the recommendation of a friend whose mum had been in Summerfield. It has turned out to be the perfect choice for my mum. She is so happy, well looked after and I couldn’t ask any more from the staff who look after her. The staff are fantastic and so kind to her and always keep me informed of any issues, and if I have had any concerns, they have been dealt with promptly. They keep the residents entertained with lots of activities and karaoke that my mum seems to really enjoy. Thank you for looking after her so well. I couldn’t be more pleased I chose Summerfield for my mum.
Thank you for your time to complete a review. Your mum is an absolute pleasure to care for and we are so grateful you chose us to look after her.
My mother has been looked after here for over three years and treated with respect and dignity and like a member of the family. I looked at several places before we decided on Summerfields and definitely chose the best option for the care she has received.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home - I shall pass this on to our amazing team!
The home does so much to stimulate the residents with the various activities; they love it when the singer comes in, and they can have a dance and a singalong. They have pamper days where they get their hair and nails done, nostalgia and reminiscent days and arts and crafts.
My mum is so happy and has lots of friends.
The last few years have been hard for the residents and families, but the staff were brilliant as always.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, as is the home itself.
I'm so glad we chose Summer Fields as my mum's home; she has been living there for a good few years now and has always had the best care, and her needs are taken care of every day.
Well done to all the staff at Summer Fields - you are all amazing.
Thank you so much for this glowing review of our home and its amazing team. I shall pass your feedback on to our staff members, and I'm sure they'll be thrilled too!
Staff are professional and treat Mum with dignity and respect. A pleasure to see Mum content and happy. Happy environment, always clean and very welcoming. I cannot fault them. Keep us the fantastic work you do. Lovely place with happy residents and a safe environment.
Thank you for your positive review. I will pass on your feedback to all of our staff.

Meet the Team (1)

I have worked with Your Health Group for almost three years. I enjoy being a part of a team that is making the lives of our residents as happy and comfortable as possible, ensuring that their care needs are met each and every day.
My care career began 18 years ago, and over the years I have developed a vast knowledge of Dementia and what it takes to provide an excellent standard of care to those who are vulnerable and dependent on others. I have progressed from kitchen assistant to senior care team and now Home Manager, completing my NVQs in Health and Social Care and a Diploma Level 5 in Management and Leadership.
I really do love my job and the challenges it brings each day - every day really is different. It means so much when you see the people you look after not only living happily but thriving. I have an incredibly dedicated team working alongside me. They, and the rewards of the job, are why I will always enjoy this job, even after 18 years!
