Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

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.

My mum has been resident at Hempton Field Care Home from the start of the year. She is very glad to be in such a happy and friendly home. The whole team of Hempton Field do excellent and outstanding work, providing quality care with genuine kindness and care for all. We thank God for the team at Hempton Field who all work to a high standard to produce such wonderful care.

Rapidly seen significant improvement in my uncle's wellbeing after a relatively short period at Hempton Field.

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!

14th July fun day. It was a lovely afternoon in the garden, they put all the stops out. My family really enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you so much! You all did a great job.

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.

I have always been made welcome and found everyone ver helpful.

The family has had peace of mind - knowing she was safe.

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.

It is so good that the current manager encourages outings and activities which help stimulate and provide interest to the residents.

Nurses have been happy to explain her nursing care to me.

The staff are always very attentive and the residents seem very happy and extremely well cared for. The premises are always clean and there are plenty of activities for the residents to participate in.

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 +

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.

The interlude between hospital and going home could not have been better.
