  • Homefield House, Basingstoke
Homefield House is a dementia nursing care home, situated in a vibrant residential area, close to shops in Rooksdown on the outskirts of Basingstoke and consists of four separate living units, each with six single bedrooms, ideal for nursing and respite needs, as well as people suffering from a dementia-related illness.
The single storey home was purpose built in 1995, following consultation with the Alzheimer’s Disease Society and comprises a central arcade area, where all residents can wander safely.

The facility is part of the widely-respected Shaw healthcare portfolio, who have dedicated a great deal of effort to produce more care alternatives at a time when the UK's ageing society needs extensive investment.

Review from Tony B (Relative of Resident) published on 13 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum was accepted for care and support into Homefield, during the start of covid restrictions in March 2020. During her stay at Homefield, she received professional care and emotional support from your great staff and colleagues. Your dedicated staff brightened her way of life during her stay with you,
and the family thank you so much. We were so fortunate to see mum during her stay, as was located in a front room of Lavender, which provided family relief during this so difficult time of covid and also raised mum's spirits. Would certainly recommend Homefield, as have a caring team who provide a so important service for our loved ones.

Very difficult to say much this year with covid as we have only seen Mum once since March 12th... hard, but we totally understand why. The staff have been great and keep our 'loved ones' safe.

Homefield House is an outstanding nursing home. My mother has been well looked after here by dedicated, kind and compassionate staff for over ten years now. She is supported in a caring and inclusive environment, and one in which respects individuality to best meet the needs of each resident. Homefield
benefits from an exemplary team of professionals, including experienced nurses and carers. Mum responds positively to those looking after her and any changes to her medical or nursing needs have been quickly identified and addressed. I've always been kept up to date and consulted regarding this.
The home and its staff have responded proactively to the ongoing situation, with enhanced infection control measures put in place. Technology has been utilised to help keep families connected to their loved ones in addition to window and garden visits. Care continues to be delivered to the highest of standards at all times. I highly recommend Homefield to others. It is a special place.

Review from William L (Partner of Resident) published on 19 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In the ten years my partner has been a resident of Homefield House, I have constantly been impressed by the care and diligence shown by all the staff. Indeed, Homefield has a very “homely “ and intimate “feel” which is aided by its unique design. Residents are treated as individuals with due consideration
to their very varied needs which may be complex and changing. Individual Care Plans (and associated documentation) are regularly reviewed (with family involvement) and modified to address changing needs and interests. There is a full programme of activities – including day trips, external entertainers and involvement of the local community (organised by a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator) - which are tailored to an individual’s need with the aim that everyone is involved and stimulated to the extent of their abilities. No one is “parked” and all staff (whatever their position) take time to regularly interact with the residents. All in all, my partner receives excellent care.

My father has lived in Homefield House for nearly 10 years. His care cannot be faulted in any way. All the staff are dedicated and unfaltering in their quest to provide the best care. The residents are always treated as individuals. I have never felt any concerns regarding dads care. Well done to all
the staff! You all make live very reassuring! Thank you.

The staff really care for the resident and family dementia care has to be such hard work with the long hours they do. The surgery makes their job very difficult and in my relative's case, the surgery let him down at the end of his life.

My wife is well looked after, most of the staff have been very kind and caring to her especially in the last few weeks when she has been very poorly. We are very grateful to all the girls that looked after her, she could have so easily ended up in hospital. Thank you.

I am generally happy with Homefield House - I feel my wife is well cared for - the staff are dedicated and always courteous and address any issues that may arise. The home is clean and warm and I have never smelt urine whilst visiting my wife - She has complex needs and Homefield House have always responded
positively.

I've always found the staff to be pleasant and caring and very approachable when I've turned up unannounced. My aunt has always looked very smart and cared for.


I believe I have made the best choice for my aunt as I find it very hard to find fault with the home or staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Homefield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.936 for Homefield House is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.936
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Homefield House is based on 12 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
