Church Farm at Field House

My mum came to Field House for respite care following a broken hip. During her stay, she also suffered the trauma of my dad's death. The staff at Field House could not have been kinder, both to my mum and the rest of the family. They showed great empathy to us all. There are many truly wonderful and dedicated staff here who played a huge part in turning my mum from a bereft, frightened old lady into a happy, settled resident. I cannot recommend this care home highly enough and cannot fault the level of care in any way at all.

We chose Field House for our mum's palliative care as we got a good feeling when we first visited. All the staff made Mum's short period of time there as comfortable as possible and whatever she needed was never too much trouble. The end of life and medical staff particularly were wonderful and very accommodating to us as family, with our visiting and a kindly ear or shoulder to cry on. They are currently going through a programme of updating and upgrading the facilities, which will only benefit the residents and working conditions for the staff. Their on-call doctors were also wonderful. Big thanks to you all.

My mother who suffered from dementia developed terminal cancer and was admitted to Field House Nursing Home for end of life care from April to September 2016. I was extremely satisfied with all aspects of the care home and felt my mother was well cared for during her stay. After the residents, the staff are the most important factors and I can't thank the staff enough for looking after my mother with compassion. She also enjoyed the food. Thanks to everyone involved.

My father decided to go into Field House in December 2015. He tried to live on his own after my mum went into a dementia home nine months earlier but couldn't cope. The staff are really helpful and go out of their way to find out his interests so they can talk to him. The lady who runs the activities makes sure dad gets a place at the monthly cinema so he can sit with mum. She tries to encourage him to join in with activities which is not easy I've tried! Dad had a fall in February which I didn't think he'd survive. The staff were amazing and his level of care was excellent. They certainly helped get him back on his feet again and looked after.

My mother lived at Field House from July 2015 until her death in November 2016. She was delighted to have celebrated her 100th Birthday there in September 2016. Everyone (staff and residents) joined in on my mother's special day, when she received very many congratulations including from The Queen. Having lived locally, mum had previously visited friends in the home and had jokingly stated that one day she would probably become a resident.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursing home. All the staff (management, nurses, carers and all other departments such as the handyman, laundry and not forgetting the kitchen) did their very best. My mother especially enjoyed chatting to everyone who looked after her. I know she was very grateful to all.

My father used Field House for the first time as respite care for 3 weeks. It was an enjoyable stay. Comfortable, good food, activities daily and a warm feel to the place. Staff were friendly, respectful and courteous at all times to both residents and visitors. Dignity is a priority. Good home cooked food, special requests were no problem either. We will definitely be using Field House again, and recommend this place for individuals looking for a home environment for their loved one.

My mother has been a resident at Field House Home and Day Care Service since August 2013. She has several, severe physical disabilities and her mental condition has steadily deteriorated. The medical care she has received has cleared up though she has become wheelchair bound. As she is blind and nearly deaf, mental stimulation is very difficult, even with family. I have no illusions that she represents a considerable challenge to staff but I feel they do their utmost for her, but as she has to be moved with a hoist, she does feel vulnerable. In our presence, the staff are courteous and always caring. There is no doubt they try their utmost but of course, they cannot give one to one care. They have responded to our requests concerning her need for sunlight and changes of scenery. She is well fed and retains her weight.

Though the building is old, it was maintained well and clean. The room was adequate and clean with friendly staff. I visited every day to see my wife and found the staff pleasant, caring and willing to listen to their residents and visitors, they were always helpful. My wife had a pleasant stay there and she was happy and relaxed. The staff maintained a good professional relationship with the local GP's and they get a good and efficient service from the doctors for the residents.

My mother, who has recently died, has been a resident at Field House for the past 12 years. I think that speaks for itself!!
She has always been so very well cared for and I have never worried at all about her well being. The wonderful kindness shown from the staff, the fabulous food, alongside the excellent nursing care have all made her stay so comforting. She has always had her hair done beautifully, nails and hands pampered, and loved the various activities and trips that were organised.
The end of her life was treated with so much dignity, professionalism and kindness which has been a huge comfort for me too. I have only thanks and praise for all of the staff.

My mother had been moved into this care home because she was suffering from dementia (and cancer). The care in this home was excellent and their attention certainly raised the moral of my mother (and also improved her eating habits resulting in increased weight.) Her final moments were handled with great dignity and understanding helping my sister and I so much.

Field House cared for two very dear friends of our family.
On all occasions that we visited the Staff were professional, courteous and kind.
I would not hesitate in recommending this Nursing Home to anyone who are considering a Home in this area.

My mum only spent a short time at field House (6 weeks) but in that short time she was treated with the utmost Dignity, Respect and friendliness.
The staff at Field House made our mum feel valued and settled at what was a very difficult time for all of us.
They went out of their way to ensure that every one of mum's care needs were met in a way that was helpful to her, and was treated as an important individual. She developed relationships with all the staff even after such a short while because they were so helpful and relaxed about the care they gave whist maintaining a fantastically high standard of nursing care.
During the last few days of our mum's life I cannot praise the staff highly enough, they ensured that mums last few days were pain free and nothing was too much trouble for them.
As well as looking after our mum, they supported our family (especially our dad) brilliantly, including us in everything and making us feel welcome at any time day or night.
Well done Field House.

The care my mum received at field house was second to none, I cannot rate this home highly enough. As soon as you walk in the door it feels homely the staff were so friendly, dedicated and a credit to there profession and nothing was too much trouble. I could not have asked for better care for mum. Although my mum couldn't join in the activities she was visited daily by one of the activities organisers to have a chat. A drink was always on offer when visiting. In the final hours of mums life we were supported by the lovely staff, a bedroom was offered for us to rest and endless drinks given. The passing of our mum has been made easier knowing she was so well cared for by supportive, caring and dedicated staff.

My ex husband was taken into Field House in November after a spell in hospital. The care he has received has been exemplary, I cannot praise the staff too highly, every time you visit, there is a warm welcome and an update on the resident if required. I would recommend Field House highly. Spotlessly clean, warm but airy and most of all a caring and compassionate atmosphere.

My mother was treated with the utmost respect and politeness. The nurses couldn't do enough. They were all very kind and caring. If all homes cared for dementia patients like this, it would be a better world all round. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you after going through a tough time.

From the minute I first visited Field House to look round I was impressed by the welcoming, caring nature of ALL staff and the homely atmosphere. My father moved from another Care Home 175 miles away to be nearer family after a severe stroke. From day one at Field House they provided him with a chair with wheels so that he could join in activities and eat his meals in the dining room if he wished whilst waiting for a bespoke chair to arrive. This is in contrast to his previous home where he was isolated in his room. The quality and dedication of the staff and management is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, both for the residents or their visiting friends/family. My father's end of life care was wonderful as was the support I was shown. I cannot praise them highly enough especially having had experience of other care homes.

My mother lived at Field House for the last 11 months of her life. We chose Field House because it felt homely and residents seemed happy. This was borne out. The staff were kind, caring and attentive. Field House seems very well run, we thought the food mum received looked good and she certainly enjoyed it staff were very kind in supportive to her needs and to ours. Perhaps the furniture could do with a spruce up, but in every important respect excellent.

My father was admitted to Field House Nursing Home after spending two months at hospital having broken his hip. The hip mended but he was in a very poor state when he arrived at the nursing home not really expecting to last very long. They nursed him back to a much better state and I cannot fault the care and attention provided there. All the staff were very welcome and caring and genuinely seemed concerned for the welfare of the patients. In a nutshell I was very satisfied.
