  • Barchester Hempton Field Care Home, Chinnor
Overlooking the stunning farmland of the Chiltern Hills, this impeccably landscaped former doctor's house is situated a short distance from the centre of Chinnor. The home offers nursing, respite, and palliative care.

The majority of bedrooms are en-suite, set across two floors which foster a truly homely atmosphere. With each room tastefully decorated and the grounds maintained to the highest standards, Hempton Field has as much personality as its residents - you can be proud to call it home.

The home has two communal lounges and a well-appointed dining room, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. The house is situated on half an acre of grounds, where you can relax in the gorgeous sheltered courtyard, surrounded by flower beds and a pond. The gazebo area has views of the Chiltern Hills and is perfect for outdoor socialising.

Chefs prepare meals on-site, offering residents a daily menu with tasty, nutritious choices. Meals can be taken in the dining room or in residents' own bedrooms as preferred. Special diets will be catered for.

Activities staff oversee a busy schedule of events. Residents are encouraged to participate and to help plan these events, to ensure there is something for everyone. Participation is entirely optional, however. There are daily activities in the home, as well as frequent excursions outside it and big celebrations throughout the year.

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.

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

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

My brother was admitted with Leukaemia and received excellent care from all the staff. Their dedication was not only kindness shown to my brother, but to our family.
Hempton Field Care Home at Christmas also looked after my uncle with the same care, so would recommend it.

I have taken my father to Hempton Field several times this year for respite care. Lovely place with beautiful gardens and pots. Friendly staff and my father enjoys the food, very welcoming, laundry done and we can always ting to see how he is when staying there. Pleasant rooms and very clean. It's good
to have somewhere to take him for respite that he likes and feels safe.

My father spent 8 years at the home and was extremely well cared for and retained his dignity and humour throughout his time there. I would thoroughly recommend the home but found the cost, particularly over such a long period of time, prohibitive.

I have just got my aunt who is (100 and a half years of age) into Hempton Field, after a long struggle to get her to leave the cottage she lived in for 70 years. I have had great support from the team in encouraging to move, her social, hospital and her care workers have said she was not fit to live
alone (bed-bound and nearly blind). But being a feisty old lady it's been very hard work getting her into a home. I cannot believe how well she's settled due to this amazing home and wonderful staff, so kind and thoughtful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for Barchester Hempton Field Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.762 for Barchester Hempton Field Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.762
  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 Barchester Hempton Field Care Home is based on 29 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 29 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.
