My mam moved to Springfield just over 8 years ago suffering with vascular dementia and alzheimers disease. Her quality of life improved enormously with the love, activities and contact care she always received from this amazing care team. Mam gained another wonderful family to love her even more. Sadly mam passed away on 19th December so peacefully with her loving family around her and the wonderful staff at Springfield. The care my mam received for all of these years has been such a massive comfort to myself, my dad and all of the family and we are forever grateful to the amazing team at Springfield Care Home. A truly fabulous place to live.

The staff here are amazing and I have witnessed lots of very touching moments between them and the residents. They truly care about each and every one of them.

The care home has totally changed my opinion of the care system. The love, care and respect that my gran has received is second to none. The communication on anything relating to my gran is excellent.

As a team, we will always continue to put our residents at the centre with all we portray here at Springfield Care Home, with caring, dignified, respectful, kind and loving care.
I cannot praise the care home highly enough. Without the care, love and devotion to my mother, she would not be with us. Nothing is too much bother, regardless of the time of day or night, and the manager of the home and her deputy know the names of all her residents and family members, which is...
One of my best decisions for my mam.

We all feel that it was an amazing decision you made to place your mam at Springfield, and we are the lucky ones to care for your mam. Thank You so much for the support you give to all our team.

The food...
The food is very good, home-made fayre and offerings at tea breaks are varied and plentiful. The snack trays distributed around the home are such a lovely touch for the residents. The rooms, with en-suite are very well kept and regularly updated.
We have been amazed at the number and variety of activities on offer. Another plus are the many themed days (and meals) on special occasions.
All management and staff are very approachable, readily available, always supportive and very professional.
We have absolute peace of mind, knowing my sister is having the very best of care from an amazing team.

Equipment to meet care needs wasn't available on arrival despite manager having carried out a care needs assessment. No raised toilet seat /frame and the chair in the room was too low/narrow. Senior staff were using an assessment which was out of date re continence, transfers and mobility....
Concerns raised by family on arrival, by telephone later that day and the following day were met with an uncaring attitude and no effective action.
Staff weren't walking the person and they were unable to use the toilet despite information provided by family leading to distress due to incontinence and regression of mobility.
Referral to therapy re mobility and podiatry was delayed by 2 weeks despite manager stating they would refer shortly after admission.
Prior to signing family queried a clause in the contract. Management terminated the residency with immediate effect despite receipt of £8000.
Management repeatedly threatened family with legal /police action after they contacted company directors to update them and also pressured family to remove the resident.
Feedback sent to the CQC including copies of emails and contract as evidence.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it is important to mention that Springfield was sold long after the placement had ended and this review has no relevance to the current practices, culture and ethics of the new provider; that being said, we are sorry that you felt services at...
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it is important to mention that Springfield was sold long after the placement had ended and this review has no relevance to the current practices, culture and ethics of the new provider; that being said, we are sorry that you felt services at Springfield didn’t meet your expectations. There are also many inaccuracies in your review:The team were pressurised by yourself to accept this placement based on recommendations and our reputation and the assessment that was used for admission was that of the hospital. The equipment mentioned that belonged to the resident was in your possession and withheld by yourselves and the home replaced it within 24 hours at their cost.
All concerns raised were addressed immediately on the phone and followed up in lengthy email correspondence.
Our care records and testimony from the care team reflect a very different picture than the one you have portrayed. Referrals to the occupational therapy team, the physiotherapy team and the GP were made immediately and the resident was seen in good time.
Management made no threats to any family member of the resident and it is a shame such accusations are made against members of the team that have dedicated their lives to providing excellent care.
By all accounts the resident received excellent care at Springfield, this evidence was provided to the commissioners and the regulators who also agreed there was no merit to these accusations. This short placement unfortunately ended due to a breakdown of communication as such we were advised to terminate the placement. As a gesture of goodwill transport and escort was provided by the home to the resident’s next placement.
Outstanding care provided. Friendly staff and amazing activities for the residents to take part in. The staff are always on hand to go above and beyond and make families feel reassured that their loved ones are cared for.

My mam was placed in the care home initially in May for respite, her condition deteriorated very quickly during the pandemic, and because she was so well cared for during this week, we felt that this would be the best place for her on a long term basis. The home is lovely and clean. The rooms are a good size to enable the residents to make them homely. The staff are fantastic with the residents, they have lots of social activities and a Facebook page for families to see their loved ones.
