Review from John D (Respite Resident) published on 6 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I came here for a week's respite following hospitalisation. The atmosphere here was one of peace and rest. The staff were incredible and nothing was too much bother. The food was superb, and without a doubt, I would come again if necessary.

Reply from Jocelyn Walang, General Manager at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

It was a pleasure to meet you and we are happy that we met your expectations.

We have only marked down the activities as my relative remains in bed and it might be better if they were moved. The staff are excellent and treat the residents with dignity. The food and drink, we have been told it is very good.

Overall Experience

Along with another friend, we visit Hempton twice a month and for the last 2 years meet with them via zoom. We come from the local community church. The staff are all very friendly and caring and assist residents to join us for Bible Club if they want to attend. There is a great homely atmosphere there.

Reply from Zoe Miller, General Manager at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are delighted to be able to invite you back into our home again as bible club is very popular. We certainly do have a homely atmosphere at Hempton Field and we are glad that is your experience.

My stepfather stayed for six weeks respite care whilst his wife was recovering from a knee operation. Lovely setting with beautiful gardens, attentive staff, excellent food and good variety of activities to keep residents stimulated. Well appointed room with good level of cleanliness. Would highly recommend.

I was very impressed by the care and help they gave to my mother, sorting out her medication so she has now returned to her own home (at her wish) with carers. Friendly, helpful, and caring staff nothing too much trouble.

Review from S C (Respite Resident) published on 12 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I was admitted for a short respite following a brief stay in hospital.
My immediate response was how attractive the site and interior of the care home and the warm welcome from the staff. My room was comfortable, en-suite with garden views. At this time because of coronavirus, a negative test is required before admission. All the staff were meticulous with us of masks/gloves. The menus were varied and the food excellent.

Day and night care included carers and nursing care. Management is without a doubt excellent. Thank you to one and all

Review from Christine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been in Hempton Field for over 3 years now.
The care and love she receives from all the staff is amazing.
They are patient, kind and very tolerant and she is totally "At home" because of their care.
She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and we gave a little party. Mum is a very private person normally and mainly stays happily in her room but on that day she shone with happiness and all the extra fuss everyone made of her! What a day for us all!
We, as a family, will never be able to thank the staff enough for all the unstinting care they give her.
As she says “they are my family “what more could you want!

Thank you Hempton Field!

Review from Louise (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 29 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As we all know, the current situation we find ourselves in is incredibly hard, harder still when you cannot visit your loved ones (my Nan - 100). The lockdown at Hempton Field is keeping all residents safe and as family members, we could not ask for better care! The staff at Hempton Field have gone above and beyond to offer videocall sessions for residents and families. I am able to speak to my Nan at least once a via video call and it makes my week! She also gets to see her 2yr old Great Grandson and their wonderful relationship can continue, even if only virtually for now.

A huge thank you to everyone at Hempton Field for keeping my Nan safe, for loving her in our absence and for keeping her smiling! We can’t wait to be able to come and thank you in person and visit Nan but for now, please know that we are eternally grateful to you all!

Review from Anna (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Would highly recommend. From initial contact and making an appointment to look around, to our father moving in and later leaving, everybody at Hempton Field was caring with a 'can do' attitude. The room and facilities were very clean and comfortable, a very homely, cheerful atmosphere. Updates regarding care were treated seriously and with great sensitivity. Nothing was too much trouble, feel lucky to have been able to access care at Hempton Field for my father.

Review from Andrew A (Son of Resident) published on 3 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We needed to find residential care accommodation for our mother and were impressed by how straightforward this was to arrange at Hempton Field and with the warm welcome we received from everyone.
The room provided is clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished and opens onto a well-tended garden. Mealtimes are sociable events and most residents choose to eat together. The food is home-cooked and appetising.
The manager is professional, approachable and fully involved in the care of all residents. She leads a team of first-class staff; most of whom are local, having worked at Hempton Field for many years, which gives a real sense of community. Everyone we have met has treated our mother with dignity and respect. An excellent Occupational Therapist organises stimulating activities every day.

Our mother’s physical and mental health has fluctuated since she has been at HF and throughout she has received appropriate and necessary care from a team of kind, competent and compassionate staff.

Overall Experience
The Hempton Field Care home manager and her staff are so special to our family. In an incredibly horrible time in our lives when we needed support.
My mother needed space, kindness, a feeling of safety and comfort, she found it - and us, her family, felt absolutely certain of the care and safety she received.
The residents are well looked after, I would not hesitate in recommending Hempton Field Care Home, the manager and the staff or using the home in the future.

The home and the people are incredible.
