Field House Care Home

Also good communication is needed as staff didn't always have the same message. Looking back though, I am pleased that we (my wife and I) decided to place my mother in Field House.

I had a good stay and was made to feel most welcome.

Food and refreshments available throughout the day and nothing was too much trouble for the carers. They anticipated everyone's needs and were friendly without being patronising. I definitely made the right decision in staying here, it gave me a much-needed stepping stone to my recovery.

Mum had another comfortable week's respite in Field House Care Home over new year. Staff including the manager responded well to requests to meet her specific needs. Thank you.

A friendly and caring environment where my mum flourished. The staff seemed to genuinely care about mum and her welfare.

Great team and lovely to deal with -- efficient, warm and competent. They put the meaning back in 'care' because that's what you get here, not just provision. Until we found Field House it had been a very long time since my husband had survived respite breaks without having to come home after a few days or ending up in the hospital, so it's a great resource. We're using regular daycare there too so I get a day off a fortnight to do jobs -- impossible otherwise as he can't do anything for himself or walk or talk and needs someone with him 24 hours a day. He comes home looking well and happy and cheerful, which is priceless. Getting breaks without also juggling guilt and anxiety means I can do my bit better, and continue to enjoy my husband's company, indomitable spirit and flashes of humour. Brilliant!

I would highly recommend this Nursing Home.

First class care in a very helpful manner.

I find that things at this care home are very pleasant. The staff were very busy and helpful when they could be but very over-worked. The food was very good and tasty but sometimes small portions, but I would recommend this care home.

I had a weeks respite care in this BUPA care home which I enjoyed as I didn't have to do anything. I have severe osteoporosis and arthritis and find it very painful and difficult to do anything. The meals were good and always a choice. If you wanted them in your room OK, if not was taken in a wheelchair to the dining room. There were activities if you liked every day. My room was pleasant with ensuite. The building was a bit of a maze, though. They grow all their own vegetables, have a pleasant patio garden, nice to sit in if not raining. Plenty of night staff. The manager comes every day to check all is well. Daily papers can be ordered. There is a hairdresser and manicurist if you want. A team of registered nurses. There is an on-site laundry and now I am back home I realise just how good it all was.

I found the home to be very friendly and very efficient. I found the homes attitude to involving residents in activities to be first class but also they were allowed their own space when required. Food was very good and a great deal of thought given to healthy and nourishing meals. A happy feeling by all staff is ensured residents feel safe and respected and I would sum up by saying it is run as a very friendly, professional home.

When I visited the home I was really impressed. It was homely, well presented and the staff I met were with the clients and not congregated together. The room my mother was given was small with an en-suite she couldn't use. As the home specialised in PD I was hoping she would be encouraged to walk, unfortunately this didn't happen and she has come home barley able to mobilise. I really felt apart from that she was well cared for and the staff were very good to her.

My father was visibly impressed when he arrived at Field House. He responded so well to all the kind staff. Our father's stay was rather shorter than expected, but the staff could not have done more to make him and indeed us comfortable. We are so grateful that my father was able to spend his last days in this lovely friendly and homely atmosphere. All procedures at end of life were handled very efficiently.

My partner was a resident at Field House for nine months following several weeks in hospital due to a serious illness. I spent many hours visiting him and found the staff to be thoughtful and caring. Field House has a calm and friendly atmosphere and the food is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, My only criticism, average time to answer the call button was 10 minutes. A shorter response response time would have been appreciated.

Excellent caring community. Felt like a home, a real home.

My wife was admitted to Field House having been discharged from hospital with a terminal condition. Sadly her stay in the nursing home was shorter than anticipated but the care she received was exemplary. The home was welcoming and friendly and the staff caring, considerate and patient not only with the resident but also with relatives. She was made as comfortable as her illness would permit and she responded to the care she received, even getting her sense of humour back. We have very good memories of her final weeks and cannot fault Field House in any respect.

I have P of A for a friend that needed somewhere with nursing care, she had very advanced Alzheimers disease and was bedridden, no real speech. I chose Field House because it was a 10 min walk away from me and have never regretted it. My friend was there for 2 years, always so well cared for, clean, no bed sores, fed and watered well. The staff were so friendly and more importantly loving, nothing was too much trouble.

Our cousin was transferred to Field House after a spell in hospital (rather than returning home). From the start, the manager and her staff were extremely helpful and understanding. They were respectful of his needs and treated him with great kindness. Although initially the arrangement was on a temporary basis, this was revised to a permanent arrangement when it was clear that he has settled well and was getting much better care than could be provided at home. The standards of cleanliness and of the meals was excellent. All in all, I would recommend Field House, without reservation.

I came into Field House after an operation. To do with a hip replacement for 10 days nursing care, before the final hip replacement.

Needed a place to recover from an operation and this home gave me the care, nutrition and rest needed. Staff very helpful and friendly.
