Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Fieldway Care Home is a caring and compassionate home with friendly and caring staff. During this Covid period, it has been very difficult for everyone, including friends trying to access the elderly living in the home.
It would be easier if after asking to visit we were put through to management rather
than going through to the nurse who then puts us through to management.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Fieldway Care Home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father arrived late Wednesday evening however the care home staff were immediately in contact to inform me on how my dad was doing. They called me and emailed the following day to explain their current visiting rules owing to Covid-19. All of these rules are extremely important and they have put
in place strict regulations to ensure the safety of residents and staff.


They allowed me to drop items for my father anytime and was able to see him from a distance whilst he is in isolation. The home is clean and welcoming and plenty of parking for visitors.


A special thanks to the manager who has kept me updated on my dad's well being and checking his needs with me.

The home is a very friendly, caring place. My uncle is very happy here. He's looked after in every way, his room is clean and tidy. He always looks so well as the staff work hard to look after his every need. They are like family to him. They have been wonderful through the Coronavirus crisis working
diligently.
It's a friendly family feel home and everyone is made welcome. If I have any concerns about my uncle it's always dealt with promptly by the nurse station or reception.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home looks lovely and staff seem lovely. I wish we were regularly updated on my mum's condition as we only found out she had a back sore and was in a very bad way a day before visiting her. Due to COVID, we haven't seen her for over 4 months so this was very shocking to see her in such a way. I
wish we would be updated on her condition, instead of them saying they tried to call, but I have never had any missed calls.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Fieldway Care Home

Thank you for your kind review of the home and staff. We apologise for the lack of communication to you from the home regarding the period of hospitalisation for your Mother. I understand that the home tried your mobile first and when they were unable to leave a voicemail, another member of the family was contacted with an update. If you would like to call the home, the Manager would be happy to update your contact details and discuss the outcome of the hospital visit and subsequent referrals with you.

The care provided here is excellent. The carers that look after my husband make him feel like he is a family to them. Everyone at the care home is super friendly. I have never seen them without a smile on their faces. They show so much love and support to my husband. Even with the coronavirus pandemic,
the care home has kept our family in touch with my husband by providing Skype calls and coronavirus friendly visits with strict social distancing measures.

My brother is extremely happy in Fieldway Care Home. The home is clean, comfortable and modern. The staff are very caring and kind to him despite him being very difficult at times. The manager has been very understanding and has helped me with the necessary paperwork I have needed to complete for some

Fieldway Care Home has looked after my mother extremely well. Staff are amazing with her and made her feel welcome from day one. During thee difficult times of covid-19, Fieldway kept me informed regularly with updates, and when phoning in, I was able to check up on my mother, even though we were unable
to see her. Fieldway, keep up the good work; you are wonderful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During lockdown, my husband had to be admitted to the Hospital twice for different reasons. In each case, I was kept informed by the manager and clinical lead and understood that all the correct testing and procedures had been undertaken. All the staff at Fieldway work very hard to make this very
difficult time manageable for all. It has been incredibly stressful for them and I would like to say how I appreciate the emailing of newsletters to keep me up to date with what's going on. Also the efforts to keep residents in touch with their families. Often when I am speaking to my husband on the phone I can manage to have a chat with one of the care workers too. Two care assistants and so many others remain resilient and cheerful.

My family were not contacted when my relative passed away in the home. To this day we have had no answers as to why the nursing staff did not feel it was necessary to contact the next of kin regarding this. We had discussed the procedures for end of life care and were told that we would be contacted
immediately if anything happened. This promise was not kept. Instead, the family had to find out for themselves.

I was recently sent from Fieldway to hospital. I was in intensive care for 4 days and a cardiac ward for 4 days. I missed the friendliness of the staff at Fieldway and feel people listen to me at Fieldway but they did not always have time to listen in hospital. One night I was extremely cold and they
couldn't find more blankets for me. I wanted to come back to the place where the staff know me and know what food I like and where I see the same faces instead of lots of different nurses. I was pleased to return to Fieldway.

Relative complained repeatedly about care including failure to be taken to the bath/shower room and missing personal items. Staff appeared overstretched, nurse stations were frequently unoccupied. My relative died 6 weeks after a fall. The CQC assessed safety as inadequate in February 2019 and all
other standards as requiring improvement.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.294)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.294) out of 10 for Fieldway Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.559 for Fieldway Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.559
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.735 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fieldway Care Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.735
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
