Church Farm at Field House

Thank you to all the staff for caring for my father and for maintaining his dignity our family will be for ever grateful.

We cannot thank Field House enough for the care given, which was a great relief to all his family members.

I would like to thank all the staff for the wonderful care given to my mother and our family as we visited her. I called in looking for a suitable nursing home for my mother who had end-stage Parkinson's disease, I was made welcome by the manager, given a cup of coffee and he explained what Church Farm offers especially to those with advanced stages of the disease and perhaps coming to the end of their lives.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The rooms clean and tidy with a communal area/dining room, watching the meals being served it felt like one big happy family!

My mother's care was superb and her dignity respected. The family visited a lot during her final days and we were always welcome. It was a comfort to know we could rely on staff to look after her when we weren't there.

I work as a GP and so am familiar with a lot of care and nursing homes, without doubt, this is one of the very best.

Thank you all again for looking after Mum and family!

Mum loved it at Field House. I was dreading having to put her into a home. She loved it and was happy all the time. The carers were wonderful to her. They arrived whenever the bell was pushed, even inadvertently. She loved to sing in the lounge and adored her room. It was, and I am sure is, a really friendly place for her to be and she loved the food - interesting as we really had to make her eat at home! Especially the fish and chips!

I believe this to be an excellent care home and that my aunty was extremely well looked after during her stay. My aunty often told me how happy she was at Church Farm at Field House and how pleased she was to be in such pleasant surroundings with caring and friendly people to help her.

I work in the health service and haven't seen better care, compassion and kindness.

It was always easy to call and get reports on mum's health or talk to mum herself. Visiting is not restricted to all and the electronic entry system ensures security. Mum had less than a year in Church Farm at Field House but she was well looked after, comfortable and never in pain. Thanks to all the staff for their professionalism and compassion.

He was always treated with the greatest respect and consideration. As a family, we were also made to feel welcome when visiting.

Church Farm at Field House has been exceptional in its attention to the multiple needs of my helpless wife. They include her immobility and blindness plus Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis and dementia. The management and staff have shown the utmost professionalism throughout in the growing number of aspects with her deterioration. Every opportunity is taken to accommodate her deficiencies and ensure her comforts are maintained to the highest professional standards.

As a family, we have been impressed by the quality of facilities offered. In addition to the excellent attitudes and values of social care, there is an impressive feeding regime that caters well for all tastes and palates. Many opportunities are taken to investigate the interminable difficulties of disabilities. We know our loved one is in good hands.

My mum spent the last week of her life at Field House, she was cared for with dignity, kindness and compassion. We felt supported by all of the staff who did everything they could to make mum comfortable. The medical care from the nursing staff and doctor at the health centre was also excellent.

The level of care at this home is unsurpassed. I often wondered how I would feel placing my mother into nursing care but I am fully confident that she is being well cared for and I have never had cause for concern. All the staff are exceptional and work hard whilst keeping the residents' dignity, and are a credit to the home.

It is always clean and tidy, spotless in fact, with the feel of a home and not a nursing home. The operation of all duties is executed perfectly and although everyone is busy working, nothing is too much trouble should you need assistance. I am very happy that my mother is in the best place possible and wouldn't have it any other way.

We would like to take a moment to thank all of the staff for their kindness, care and dedication in looking after our mother in the last year of her life. There is no doubt that their excellent care had certainly extended her life expectancy and this confirms our sincere belief that everyone has played a major part in extending the limited quality of her life in one form or another.

I only wish she had been there for longer and had been able to get involved with all the excellent activities on offer.

We have always been very pleased with mum's care at Church Farm at Field House. She had always been kept extremely comfortable and the care assistants were always compassionate to her needs. Her room was very homely as we were allowed to bring items of furniture and her own nic nacs from home. We found that the home had a quiet and relaxing atmosphere which suited mum in her condition.

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.

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.
