Barchester Atfield House Care Home

Thank you to everyone at Atfield House Care Home for looking after my dad so well in his final weeks. We were so delighted that he came to stay with you and experienced the wonderful ethos and calm approach. The home is beautiful and we were very impressed. We wholeheartedly recommend Atfield House Care Home with all our thanks.

We were so pleased with the care given to my husband in his final days. The atmosphere was always cheerful and friendly.

Staff very supportive.

My sincere thanks to the wonderful carers, nurses and management team at Atfield House for ensuring my mum's final year and a half spent in residence was a caring, warm and attentive experience. I feel so comforted to have my dear mum close by and in such caring and capable hands. I recommend Atfield House considering residential nursing care.

I was very happy with the care provided. The care staff were approachable, caring and efficient taking into account staffing difficulties during Covid and this is reflected in the Good as opposed to Excellent in some of the categories. She was a very picky eater but I believe the management tried hard to accommodate her which at the time she didn't quite appreciate. I couldn't have found a more suitable local environment for her. Thank you.

The staff are all so kind and caring to my dad. They are also helpful and polite when I visit, offering us refreshments. For my dad's 97th Birthday they arranged for us to have time with him as a family in the lounge and provided drinks and refreshments. They are all amazing and do a wonderful job. Thank you for all you do for my dad and the care you give him.

It was my Dads 97th birthday and the family visited the home. We were treated by the lovely staff at Barchester Atfield House Care Home and were allowed to use their comfortable and pleasant lounge area. We were presented with a delicious buffet and cake. My family and Dad had a fabulous day and I would like to thank, we all did, want to thank Atfield House for their time, consideration and welcome. We are happy that our father lives there.

My father is a resident at the home. Yesterday was his 97th birthday, and some of my family made a celebratory visit. The staff allowed us the personal use of the lounge and laid on sandwiches and a lovely cake. We had a very pleasant visit, made possible by the wonderful staff at Atfield. Thank you very much.

Keep up the good work.

My dad is treated with dignity and the girls that care for him on a daily basis always try and put a smile on his face and treat him as though he were family, this is something which means a lot to me and my mum whilst we are not with him. A big thank you to all the staff for making this transition so much easier.

The meals are fresh and are very good.

My cousin was a resident at Atfield House for three years. During that time she was looked after extremely well. The facilities in the home are excellent, the staff are welcoming. The decor in the communal rooms are second to none. The coffee lounge was a delightful place to sit and read a newspaper. When joining my cousin for lunch I particularly enjoyed having a sherry and meeting other residents beforehand. At the end of her life, my cousin was treated with care and dignity. I cannot thank the staff enough for their help and support during this difficult time.

Variety and quality of food is particularly good.

I enjoy living here. Staff are great. I enjoy the garden. Good room and food.

I have been described as 'clinically extremely vulnerable' because of a previous lung infection. I was transferred from hospital just after Christmas (2020). I have had excellent care at Atfield House and found the staff very kind and attentive. At the end of April, I am feeling well and I expect to return home quite soon. I thank all the nurses and assistants for their kindness.

Even though my father was only in your company for a week, there was frequent contact updating us on his condition. All staff were amazing. Unfortunately he passed away but I believe this care home was the best option as they looked after him really well.

The staff were compassionate, yet rigorous in adhering to government guidelines. The visitor's suite was a great provision alongside the efficient booking method and reminders. I was impressed with the professionalism of the nurses and their ability to communicate challenging messages and indeed with enabling last days face to face visits with all that entailed.

Mum has been at Atfield since August as her dementia became too bad for her to live alone and care for herself. The team at Atfield have been excellent. They are always polite and helpful. They have kept us updated on Mum's health every step of the way. On visiting Mum in the new, Covid secure visiting suite, we could see just how much her health, weight and appearance had improved. She also appeared to be very well settled, despite her initial resistance.

I found the care and professionalism of the staff at Atfield Care Home exceptional and would rate it highly in every aspect. During these surreal times and during total lockdown my telephone enquiries were always dealt with promptly and backed up with further calls from the home providing me with detailed updates. Overall I was always given the reassurance I required. Many thanks to all.

Although my mum wasn't at Atfield House for long, the staff were extremely kind, professional and always put my mum's needs first. They explained everything to us in a way we were able to understand at this very difficult time, nothing was too much trouble. As a family, we feel that they made my mum's last few weeks comfortable, and they treated my mum like their own. Thank you.
