Review from N C (Husband of Resident) published on 20 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife came to Tewkesbury Fields Care Home over 4 years ago after a spell in hospital. We chose this care home following strong recommendations from friends and did not view any other homes. She is suffering from an incurable illness and we have been very pleased with the care provided. The outstanding
element of the care is the quality of the staff. They have always shown the skill and application needed especially as my wife requires hoisting for all transfers, fed at every meal and is difficult to understand because of her speech problems. Another excellent feature is the busy programme of activities. I would confidently recommend this home to anyone in a similar situation to my wife.

Review from GD (Son of Resident) published on 17 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for 3 years here and 2 years at a previous home.
I have marked Management as "Good", however, if this were to cover the last 3 years it would be "very poor" because until recently there have been frequent changes to the manager and it is a credit to the staff that this
didn't negatively impact the running of the home.


My only negative is value for money because most care homes cost £1,000 per week and although this is perhaps the true cost, it should be met by the public sector, that both my parents contributed to all of their working lives. Therefore this statement applies to all privately run care facilities.

My parent is in here for respite care for 2 weeks following a hospital stay after an RTC. Mum is overjoyed at the service & cleanliness of the home, the staff are very friendly & go overboard in trying to make their stay as nice as possible. Dad has mild dementia & they treat him with great respect
& never leave him out of anything. The home phone me to give me updates or if they have any worries about my parents. All in all a great place to be.

Staff are very good and helpful - under sometimes difficult circumstances. There is a very varied programme of activities for residents to enjoy and participate in.
Knowing my mother is in a safe environment and receiving the care she needs is a great support and help to the family.

Review from Alistair G (Son of Resident) published on 21 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was given very short notice to leave hospital and find a care home. We chose Tewksbury Fields partly because the manager and staff were so friendly, helpful, answered all our questions and were very accommodating.
My father has settled well and feels that the home is now his home - this is
helped by the friendly, pleasant attitude of the staff who stop to chat to him and help if he has a problem or question.
he loves the activities, especially the exercise classes as he likes to socialise and interact with other people.

Review from J C (Resident) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The prominent feature is one of smiling kind staff. The staff are without exception, kind and encouraging. The food is adequate if a little unimaginative, it is well cooked and well presented. The entertainment is varied though frequently, not what appears to be on the programme. There is always encouragement
to do what you would like to do. Trips out are undoubtedly not nearly enough - lack of staff to go on trips to help with managing that less able, which to the majority are.


The inviting of locals to give entertainment is excellent and needs encouraging. Families are always welcome.

Tewkesbury Fields Care Home is a very well run, comfortable care home where the staff are uniformly kind, caring, know all the names of the residents and address them personally and gently, no matter what their problems are. My 107-year-old mother has all her needs met and feels at home with the efficient
friendly staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. They are a cheerful willing band who do all they can for the residents but on occasions there are too few staff and calls for assistance are not answered quickly enough. Because my father requires oxygen he is confined to his room quite a lot so more opportunities
to be taken outside in a wheelchair would greatly improve his wellbeing as he is very much an outdoors man who loved his garden, wildlife and watching the birds ect.

The home is exceptional in what it offers as far as i know. There are excellent staff and the atmosphere is positive, warm and friendly. Food seems to be good- though i hear there maybe problems with getting the dishes a residents had ordered the day before. I am concerned that inadequate use is made
of "bright light" area or access to secure outside spaces, landscapes could be much improved for safety, sensory, ease of access and multiple use. The activities programme is very good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife visited Tewkesbury Fields for the first time for the purpose of a one week respite break. Visiting somewhere new for the first time is always a difficult situation, but the staff at Tewkesbury Fields made her feel really welcome. The facilities were excellent, as was the food, but what really
stood out was the professionalism of the care team. They are, without doubt, a very special group of people. The highlight for her was the activity programme. The Activities Coordinator's bubbly personality shone through in everything she did. Involving my wife & other residents in these activities makes such a difference. Our thanks go out to the whole team, and my wife is looking forward to her next break.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Barchester Tewkesbury Fields Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.834 for Barchester Tewkesbury Fields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.834
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Tewkesbury Fields Care Home is based on 24 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 24 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.
