Review from C P (Resident / Service User) published on 9 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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.

Review from J R (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from N P (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 19 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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...

Review from Alan D (Partner of Resident) published on 4 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Very good - people polite, helpful. It's not like some places where you go and it's not welcoming - everyone takes time to get to know you. Everyone is friendly, cheerful and makes you feel at home. I come every day to visit my partner and the care here is marvellous, they look after me as much as they do my partner!

Review from Susan S (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 May 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Sue (Friend of Resident) published on 6 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.
