Review from Sue H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum went to Field House during Coronavirus and lockdown. We could only see Mum through the window at first, a few weeks after a gazebo was set up. All guidelines were followed and it was nice to see Mum even though we were 2m apart. The staff were very friendly and caring. Mum enjoyed her stay there. The staff were very efficient and professionally. When Mum was poorly the nurses acted very quickly and got Mum to hospital, and also communicated with us throughout.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Field House

Thank you so much for this review, it has been heartbreaking for our teams to see the restrictions in visiting, as it must have been for you. Thank you for trusting us to look after your Mum during difficult times, I am very pleased to hear that your experience has been a good one. I will make...

Review from Michelle B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum spent two years at Field House before she passed away in April 2020. She was unable to return home after a fall, but Field House became her home. She was always well looked after by everyone and loved doing the activities and day trips. Nothing was too much bother to help her feel safe and happy. I will always be extremely grateful to everyone and would highly recommend the care home.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Field House

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I am extremely glad to hear that your experience has been so good with us. We are very proud of the staff in each of our homes who make the experience what it is. I will make sure that your review gets back to the team because they always appreciate hearing how their care has been received.

Review from Tony D (Son of Resident) published on 30 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My dad was at Field House for nearly four years until he died earlier this month. Our experience from day one was excellent, there is a great staff culture and every time I have visited I was treated cheerily by all the staff whether that is carers, management, nurses or even the cleaners.
They always treated dad with great respect and dignity despite some of his behaviour being very challenging in the later stages of his life. I always felt that dad was in very safe hands.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Field House.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Field House

Review from Kathryn O (Niece of Resident) published on 20 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Following a recent visit to my Aunt, I was disappointed that

1. Following a pleasant greeting from a young man, we were only given directions to locate her room and not offered any hospitality on arrival.

2. it took over 10 minutes for her nurse call to be answered, which she reported was not an unusual occurrence and when she requested a drink for us was informed they would make her one but we could get one from the trolley when it came round, we had made a 2-hour journey to visit.

3. She informed me that the previous day she had requested to be made comfortable in her chair and had to wait over 2 hours before anyone returned.

4. Assisted with a shower once a week. As she is physically unable to do these things herself it doesn't to me reflect high standards of care. I think for me one of my biggest concerns was for a lady that used to shower every day to only receiving one a week is very demoralising.

I hope a higher standard than what has yet been experienced will come with time.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Field House

I am sorry to hear that your experience has not been as you or we would like it to be. Our usual standards are much higher than this, we have a receptionist and other managers who would usually take the time to guide any visitors to the required room and ensure that facilities are available. We...

Review from Janet N (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 House

I 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.

Dee
Dee Job Title:Nurse managerJoined: 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.

Holly Green
Holly GreenJob Title:Deputy Nurse ManagerJoined: 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.

Marcia Ellington
Marcia EllingtonJob Title:Well-being ManagerJoined: 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.
