  • Field House, Bristol
Field House opened in 2002. It is a modern home which has a purpose-built building. Located on a residential road in Horfield, this home is situated in a quiet location, but with close proximity to the local amenities.

There are 55 individual rooms – each is beautifully decorated with Laura Ashley wallpaper for a homely finish. All rooms come with their own state-of-the-art en-suite, and access to communal lounges and dining areas. The environment is light, bright and welcoming, including the wide corridors – and there’s also a tranquil garden and sun-trap courtyard for you to enjoy.

There is a stimulating and varied activities programme including gardening, music or day-tripping.

In August 2020 Field House opened a new section of re-purposed rooms to support residents with advance and complex dementia, to create a space where staff are able to meet the individual needs of these residents in their own area.

Review from Janet N (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care of our mother was exceptional - carers, nurses and management staff treated her as an individual and genuinely cared about her. They catered for her every whim and need despite mum being a bit fussy over food at times.
Their friendly, cheerful nature made us feel welcome and happy that Mum
was there. The many activities from visiting singers to children helping with art activities were a joy to Mum and us and I loved the fact I could accompany Mum on any of the many trips arranged for residents.
Mum didn't always join in and that was fine - she still had cheery faces popping in to make sure she was ok. I want to never forget the genuine look of sorrow on the faces of staff when Mum passed away and the care to us shown at that sad time. Thank you.
Reply from Linda Warren, Managing Director at Field HouseI am delighted to see this review of Field House. All of our staff teams work very hard to try to ensure that people in our care live as happy and fulfilling lives as possible, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. Caring for the elderly is challenging, but hugely rewarding when we achieve these aims. Thanks very much for sharing your experience with others.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.679)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.679) out of 10 for Field House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.879 for Field House is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.879
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Field House is based on 12 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 = 3.8
    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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 12 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.

Dee

Job Title: Nurse manager Joined: 2007

I started my career in nursing 41 years ago, in 1982, as a Nursing Assistant in Hortham Hospital, for people with learning disability. I started my nurse training in 1985 and I have worked in various clinical settings since qualifying as a nurse.


I first started as a Registered Nurse Manager in 1993 in a nursing home working for Southmead Health Authority. Later on, I worked at Brandon Trust in various managerial roles for people with learning disability. I then worked in the private sector in elderly care.


After a short break, I commenced my career with Bristol Care Homes in 2017 at Field House as a Carer. I have worked in various roles within Field House becoming a Registered Nurse Manager in September 2018. I enjoy working for Bristol Care Homes as I like the values and philosophy of the organisation. They value the staff and strive for positive outcomes for the residents who live within the homes.


I am dedicated and passionate about my role and enjoy working with both staff and residents.


I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my granddaughter, looking after my dogs, and travelling to various destinations.

Job Title: Deputy Nurse Manager Joined: 2025

Hello! I’m Holly, Deputy Nurse Manager here at Field House. Caring for others has always been part of who I am - my mum even wrote in my baby book that I’d grow up to be a nurse!


I began my journey in care in 2003 at 18 as a bank care assistant and worked my way up through senior roles before qualifying as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in 2021. My passion for mental health care is deeply personal, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for every resident.


At Field House, I oversee well-being, manage care plans, and make sure daily life runs smoothly. I love getting to know our residents and helping them feel truly at home.


Fun fact: I was named after the musician Buddy Holly, so music has always been a big part of my life!


I look forward to welcoming you and making your time with us as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

Job Title: Well-being Manager Joined: 2017

I’ve been working at Bristol Care Homes since 2017.


Bristol Care Homes is a great organisation to work for because they value their staff just as much as they value their residents, and their vision is something I am very passionate about. Having grandparents on both sides affected by dementia, I have the greatest empathy for the elderly and those who are living with it.


I want to make a difference in the lives of the residents by taking a holistic approach and providing relevant activities. Important and meaningful.


Within this company, there are excellent training opportunities for development and growth; in my case, I progressed from Activities Co-ordinator to Social Engagement and Well-being Manager in three years, something I am very proud of.


I enjoy spending time with my family away from work. I like singing, dancing, and taking my dogs for walks. Knowing how valuable life is, I like to live it to the fullest.
