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.

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.

Excellent. Staff were caring and considerate, creating a warm and hospitable atmosphere which is also a credit to the management. The catering was first class and the meals were delightful.
The interlude between hospital and going home could not have been better.

Hempton is a bright and extremely friendly home.
I have visited a number of homes in the past and this home is light, fresh and appears to be well run.
Mum made the very difficult decision to move into full-time care, but it was made easier for her because she felt well looked after and settled.
It is a pleasure to visit her at Hempton.

I found the home and staff were excellent with all aspects of care. Also, I found that my mother in law was treated very well with dignity during the past few days after returning to the home from the hospital. The staff were also very compassionate and caring to all members of the family.

My mother-in-law was a resident at this home from early 2015 to early 2016 and initially seemed happy. However, there was a marked decline in the standard of care which led to her family repeatedly having to chase staff in order that various issues were addressed. Meals were arriving cold, the quantity and quality of food has become notably poorer since the catering service was outsourced to a food service. Staff made significant errors on more than one occasion and often had to be reminded to perform what should have been basic tasks. On each occasion these shortfalls were reported to the manager and whilst some issues may have seemed minor in isolation a worrying pattern emerged as despite being reported to the Manager they continued to remain unresolved. Overall it was felt that the poor management of the home along with the standard and cost of care were unacceptable and my mother-in-law decided to move elsewhere.

We welcome all comments that will help us improve our services and we take them seriously. We are sorry that in this instance NP was not happy with some aspects of the care provided to his mother in law. We have recently made some changes to our catering service to enhance our resident dining experience and have introduced a new spring and summer menu offering a choice of appetizing and nutritionally balanced meals. We seek regular feedback from residents about the choices of meals that are served and this helps us to plan our menus. If a resident does not like the dish they have ordered we will always try to provide an alternative that is more to their liking. Mealtimes at Hempton Fields are an enjoyable, social event. During a recent visit from our regulator where mealtimes were observed, it was commented that ‘ Food was served hot from the kitchen and looked ‘home cooked’, wholesome and appetising. The meal was a friendly and communal experience’.
Residents are encouraged to eat with additional portions available. Where residents require support to eat their meals, staff are caring, patient and discrete. Our team will assist people with their menu choices. We ask what residents want to eat in the morning and check again at mealtimes in case they have changed their mind. Where residents require special diets, for example, pureed or fortified meals, these were provided.
The most recent CQC report, dated March 2016, rates the home as good and includes numerous positive comments from residents and their relatives about the standard of care, quality of staff and management who have not changed. These included that the management team conducted regular audits to monitor the quality of service and learning from them to make improvements.
If there is anything you would like to further discuss, please do not hesitate to contact customercare@brighterkind.com or pop into the home anytime.”

Our mother was a resident at Hempton Field for just over a year. She had settled well and was fairly happy.
Unfortunately, a recent incident involving her personal security was, in our opinion poorly handled by management. After careful consideration she asked her family to find her another nursing home as she felt anxious and vulnerable.

Our dear friend sadly died on the 8th of February 2016. The end of life care was excellent, and has made his death a nice memory, he died peacefully with us with him to the very last. We feel his care was okay, but the price paid we expected a little more. I think the food could have been more tempting for him, particularly in the last two months. We were both very saddened that no one attended our friends funeral from the care home.

Hello, my name is Heather and I am the Head Chef here at Hempton Field. I have worked at the home for over 20 years and love that the home is a big part of the community. I take time to talk to the residents about their food preferences and love hearing their suggestions.
Nutrition and a balanced diet are so important for our residents, and as appetites lessen the presentation and taste of the food is also vital. I put together menus that use fresh quality ingredients as well as a few treats including home-made cakes.
