Church Farm at Field House

Phillip

My mother has been a resident of Field House for the past 16 months. The major strength of this home are the staff who show kindness, compassion and outstanding care on a daily basis. My mother is treated with dignity and is always shown respect by all who care for her. It is very difficult leaving a vulnerable person in the care of others but I am 100% confident that Field House is the best place my mother could be in.

This is a well managed care home. Staff od all they can to look after clients individual needs and make family members welcome and listened to.

The care given by the staff at Church Farm at Field House has been excellent. My Mum came into the home mid December 2025 and the staff have enabled Mum to settle into the home incredibly well. The care is considered, compassionate, respectful and inclusive. The management are very responsive to requests. I cannot speak highly enough of both management and care givers. The home is also very supportive of all of Mum's family. I would not hesitate to recommend Church Farm at Field House to others.

Field House is a very welcoming environment. The care team are remarkable for their warmth and hard work. Visitors are treated respectfully, and concerns are listened to and acted upon. If problems arise, as they will in an imperfect world, the team will work with residents and their families to come up with solutions in a friendly and cooperative way. All residents are looked after with care and treated with dignity and tact. The patience and dedication of the care staff is remarkable and is significantly better than in many other homes I have visited. I think this stems from good management. The manager, nursing staff, care workers and administrators are all very approachable. As a relative or friend visiting the home regularly, I am made to feel like "part of the family". I have a huge respect for the hard and often demanding work done at Field House, where there is clearly a desire to do the very best for all the residents, no matter what difficulties they face.

My much loved father lived here for nearly 2 years. Dad was looked after with warmth, care , compassion and respect. He was part of the community. Staff went 'over and above board' to facilitate 2 Christmas trips out we had. There is very much a positive ethos of ' let's do our best to make this happen', which I have truly appreciated. Commuication with the manager was very good. I have felt much support and genuine warmth from staff, especially towards the end of Dad's long life. I thank all concerned so much and will always recommend Field House to others.

This is the second review I have submitted relating to Church Farm Nursing Home as my seriously disabled brother has now been in care there for over nine years. My brother continues to be cared for by patient, kind and willing staff whom he considers to be his friends. The management are always available to listen to problems, to reassure and resolve them in as timely a manner as possible. I continue to recommend the Home to my friends and acquaintances.

No one wants to have to see their loved one in a home- but it's peace of mind to know she has safety 24:7 and situations can be addressed so quickly. Shout out to the GP next door too- Thank you.

I just want to say a huge thank you to the Field House Team for taking care of my mother who was a resident there for nearly 2 years before she sadly passed away at the end of February. Mum was quite a character who loved to have a laugh, sing, and loved her food. The carers and nurses took great care of Mum and l want to thank you all for your care and kindness not only given to Mum but also to us as a family.

The carers and nurses are pleasant, good-natured, and helpful. Requests and small problems are usually dealt with promptly. My wife needs assistance with all aspects of her care and always looks clean and presentable. Although her condition is very distressing I am confident she is in the right place.

My husband came here in March he has a brain injury and needs 24-hour care. when I first came here I was scared never been to a care home but the management and staff are fabulous they made me feel welcomed and I feel so relaxed now they have been so helpful and have always supported me with my husbands care and are always ready to help and answer all my questions. The staff are so friendly and make you feel a part of their family.

Mum has been at Field House for over 4 years now. She arrived in December 2019 and she was a reluctant resident! The pandemic in March 2020 had a huge impact on her and to be honest I wasn’t sure she’d survive the experience. However, during 2022 she suddenly turned around and began to take more interest in life again. Became interested in reading and what was happening around her and now visiting is good fun. She is a resident of Radcliffe and her face is recognised around the village, in particular the coffee shop where as often as not her drink is ready on arrival! The staff at Field House are all lovely and care about her. Mum will often say she likes being there and it is definitely home.

I feel very fortunate to have found Church Farm. My partner received the very highest end-of-life care. Every single member of the manager's team was compassionate and caring and were there when it all became too much. There was always someone available to talk to and give support at the hardest of times. I will always remember Church Farm with love and most grateful thanks for everything.

When my mother first arrived at Rusticus she was very agitated, calling out all the time and refusing to eat or drink anything. She had lost an alarming amount of weight. She was also bed bound. Since being a resident at Rusticus the change in her is amazing! She is eating really well and gaining weight. The carers have got her out of bed into a chair so that she can get to the lounge and socialise with the other residents and carers. She is much happier. I put this down to the amazing care she is receiving at Rusticus. Everything about the place is brilliant; from the lovely rooms, lovely food, and great facilities. But the most important thing is the care given to Mum by the carers, nursing staff and everyone else who works there. The happy atmosphere created by all the staff was apparent on my first visit. We as visitors are also made very welcome including my dog! Thank you Rusticus.

Mum has been living at Church Farm at Field House Care Home for almost six months now. She has settled in very well and built excellent relationships with the staff who are professional, caring and attentive to her needs. Mum enjoys the food - fish and chips on Fridays being her favourite meal of the week! It was her 89th birthday recently and Mum was completely bowled over by the extra effort the staff went to in making it a special occasion. We took her out for a celebratory lunch but the huge birthday cake presented in the evening by the staff, accompanied by a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday, was a memorable end to the day for Mum and we really enjoyed seeing the short video clip of her blowing out the candles! It is a pleasure to visit to spend time with Mum at Field House or take her on day trips. Thank you to all involved for bringing joy into her life on a daily basis and for giving us peace of mind that she receives the best possible care.

My aunt's room always looks nice, with lovely linen and the bed made and room tidy, the staff are friendly and appear to take a genuine interest in my aunt. I thought the arrangements and inclusion of family at Christmas were lovely and when I visited on Christmas day, wow, it all looked beautiful. Also, what is so nice is that I can bring in my aunt's little dog to visit her which makes the world of difference to both my aunt and the dog. Thank you for looking after my aunt.

Mum has been at Church Farm at Field House Care Home for nearly two years, she is well cared for and the staff have taken time to understand her needs. They keep us well informed and quickly raise any changes or concerns in her condition with us.

Our sister has been very well cared for at Church Farm at Field House Care Home for several years now. The team there are professional, caring and inclusive in how care is planned and delivered. We feel confident that her safety and comfort are paramount and good decisions are made for her welfare. It's also the little things staff do to enhance day-to-day life that makes a positive difference. Field House is a happy place to be.

We chose this care home for my mum based on a number of factors, cleanliness, facilities, closeness to family and, more importantly, the extremely warm and helpful staff. Mum has been here for a number of weeks now and we have found whenever we need to speak to the staff to ask for assistance or to help sort out an issue, they have all been extremely willing to help. They seem to want to make the residents feel they are in a home-from-home. Thank you to you all.

The nursing care my mother receives is excellent. All the staff are lovely and very caring, especially when my mother has become very poorly. The home understands how difficult it is for the family and are always very supportive and keep us informed at all times.
