  • 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 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

When my husband and I first stepped into Hempton Field Care Home, we were relieved to find a beautiful, clean, welcoming and homely residence. Our first impression was continually reinforced by the dedicated staff who, along with their professionalism, showed a genuine care for all the residents. Staff
enjoy chatting to residents and visitors; we have seen how this has helped my mother make connections and feel at home. She has told us that she is very happy there, has made friends, and looks forward to the daily activities and particularly, the weekly hairdressers visit! Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was at Hempton Field for nearly 9 months. His needs were extensive and complex.
The nurses and carers couldn't have been more caring and compassionate. In fact, all the staff irrespective of their capacity, seemed genuinely interested in the welfare of the residents and supported not only
them but the immediate family as well.
I was impressed at the longevity of a lot of staff members, they know each other well and that seemed important to the general running of the home. Forever grateful. Thank you.

We chose Hempton Field because we knew that the manager was a competent and caring one. She inspires her staff to provide a kind and homely setting for older people.
When my husband was ill, Hempton Field nursed him back to health by ensuring that appropriate medical help was called in and I am very
satisfied with the care they provide.

Review from Wendy T H (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident here for 3 years and we are so pleased with her accommodation and care.
It is a small home so the staff know all the residents.
Many of the staff are local and have worked at Hempton Field for years.
It is always clean and never smells like a hospital.
It has a light,
airy feel and many of the rooms have a door into the garden.
Gardens are beautifully kept.
The OTs organise activities 5days a week. They also arrange for external entertainers to visit and have a bus which takes residents out occasionally.
All the staff seem to get on well together. They are a small team so sometimes very busy, particularly in the mornings when so many residents want to get up at the same time.
My mum has had serious mobility issues over the last year and the staff have been very caring and inclusive of her, including arranging for other residents to visit her in her room.
Mum speaks very highly of the quality of the food.
Nurses have been happy to explain her nursing care to me.

Hempton Field is an excellent care home, well run and with lovely caring staff. Any problems or change in medication and I am notified immediately. My partner is happy, kept clean and although her food has to be pureed it always looks appetizing. A home can only be as good as it's staff and at Hempton
Field that's 5 star +

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum lived at Hempton Fields for over 5 years and, apart from a year when the home was being transformed under new management and standards dropped, was extremely well treated and looked after.
The last two weeks of her life there were very happy and we really felt that the staff did all they could
both for Mum and for us as a family during this difficult time. They went beyond the call of duty in keeping her comfortable and cared for and two members of staff sat wither in her final moments. We felt they became part of our family.

The gardens are lovely to walk around and beautifully kept up. Room comfortable and clean. I would prefer the door to be kept closed when possible during the day as other people's TV can be very noisy and turned up loud especially in the evenings. At night the home is mainly quiet.

I am 94 and until 2013, I drove a care, had dogs and went shooting. I can no longer look after myself. Illness has happened, balance and memory going.


They are wonderfully kind and cheerful all of them and we have constant, trained medical care so it couldn't be better. For me, dreamy beyond words.

I am very lucky.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.733 for Barchester Hempton Field Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.733
  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 26 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 26 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.
