A home at the centre of Harpenden community clearly improving under new management. Father admitted on emergency respite admission, thanks to the team now moving to a more convenient care home closer to his wife.

My Mum stayed at Field House for a week for respite care. The staff were very welcoming and made a great effort to make her feel at home and to help her to settle in. After a couple of days Mum seemed more relaxed and felt safe. The staff were very good at contacting me to ask about anything they needed clarification about and fed back helpful information about how she was doing when I visited. She said everyone was very friendly and she would definitely be happy to go back for another stay.
Thank you so much for this lovely review - your mum is welcome back anytime to one of the shows or bbq's this summer!

- The best use was made of building not designed for the purpose. Lifts good.

Your observations about Room 23 are valuable; we prioritise resident comfort and ease of movement, and we'll review the layout to enhance space.
We also celebrate the diversity of our team, whose varied backgrounds and stories enrich residents' daily lives with fresh perspectives, cultural insights, and engaging conversations that make every day more vibrant. Our staff are trained in clear, patient, inclusive communication to ensure everyone - especially those with hearing challenges - feels heard and valued.
Thank you again - your input helps us continue delivering exceptional care.

Although I wish I could have continued to live in my home, Field House is becoming my home.

My mother has been in Fieldhouse for 12 months, in this time there has been '3' managers, various members of staff have left and now appears to be running with the bare minimum. The activities have been very poor and always seem unplanned and rushed. (lack of staff) It took me 4 months to get regular updates on my mothers overall health and well being and this was with me visiting weekly. The change of managers doesn't seem to change anything, when I'm there they are always in meetings!!! Please note the majority of the staff are amazing.

Many thanks to the staff who helped my friend have a special lunchtime celebration with friends for his birthday today. He enjoyed his fish and chips followed by a birthday cake supplied by the kitchen and a rendition of "Happy Birthday". Thank you Field House for helping him have a lovely day.

I cannot honestly say that I have enjoyed my three years at Field House. I do not claim that the care is very poor, but it is certainly not adequate in many respects. There are not enough carers to be able to spend time with each of the residents and not all the carers have the right attitude to make us feel respected or comfortable. The activities are not always suitable for our age or abilities. It would make us feel more normal if we had more contact with life outside the home. This month (April 2025) a new Home Manager has arrived so it remains to be seen whether any shortcomings will be improved. I certainly hope so.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents. Our resident's health and well-being is an absolute priority. We have passed your comments to the manager and we understand a review has taken place.
Generally, my experience is excellent. However, there should be an additional toilet on the first floor for residents. At the moment, there is only one toilet for 23 residents.

Thank you Field House. Mum was there for several months. The staff have been very caring, changing Mum's bandages every few days. I was able to assist several times! Not that I minded as I could evaluate Mum's condition and encourage Mum. The management and administrative staff were exceptionally helpful given the logistical situation (I could only visit once a month for a few days). Everyone has been very kind and helpful, especially at the end, when I needed to talk and ask for practical advice. I warmly recommend Field House whether for a short stay or for longer.
Thank you for your lovely review. We hope Field House care home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

Our mother was a resident at Field House for a 28 day assessment following a long stay in hospital with several health issues and in particular a high output stoma! She was so well cared for here ! I have to especially mention her nurse who was mums favourite, she really went the extra mile for mum at all times and had such a lovely caring nature. We would definitely recommend this home.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

Field House was a gem of a find! My wife stayed there in November recovering from a hip fracture. I visited her almost every day thus seeing much of the activity in the home. Administration is exemplary from the initial assessment to the final discharge report; so detailed and caring. Security is good, so that one can be sure residents are safe. The atmosphere is very homely; whilst the building is older this gives it a warmth and charm difficult to recreate in more modern functional establishments. It has its quirks, of course, as the building has been adapted, but nevertheless it creates a warmth and quietness perfect for a healing atmosphere.The little garden is a real bonus.
The staff were exceptional: kind, compassionate, encouraging and professional, in all cases, especially the nurses, activity coordinators and catering staff. My wife benefitted greatly in Field House so accelerating her healing, for which we are very thankful.
