Thank you for your lovely comments which we will share with the staff team; especially your comment regarding the care staff at Chapel Fields. It’s good to know their hard work is recognised.
My Mum hasn't been at Chapel Fields that long. Within a week of arriving, I noticed such a difference in her mood. She seems much happier than when she was home with a live-in carer. She is a lot brighter overall. From what I have seen up to now, I think the staff are excellent and very helpful. And I also believe the food is great!
Thank you for your comments, which I will share with the staff team, especially your comment regarding the care staff at Chapel Fields. It’s good to know their hard work is recognised. We are looking forward to the time when you will be able to visit in person. Please stay safe and keep well.
During the extended time, my mother has lived at Chapel Fields I have been treated with friendliness and compassion. There have been hiccups, not of the group origin and they have been dealt with entirely to my satisfaction. The last few weeks have been extremely difficult, but the staff have managed to address all the issues to allow me precious time with my mother. I cannot thank them enough.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. I will share your feedback with the whole staff team; they will be so pleased. It is a pleasure to care for your Mum, especially during this difficult time. We take the safety of our residents, staff and visitors extremely seriously and are thankful that we could facilitate visits for you allowing you precious time with Mum. Take care and stay safe.
Mum entered Chapel Fields Care Home in Frodsham in October 2020. Mum has dementia and has also been bereaved this year. We lost my dad to cancer in July 2020. They had been married for over 66 years. Naturally, our anxiety for mum to be settled was very high. We need not have worried. The care is absolutely wonderful. Mum took days to settle and we couldn't be happier. Covid-19 has obviously meant that we are unable to go inside the care home to see her. However, the management have pulled out all the stops to help us to communicate with Mum. We do a window visit. We outside, Mum inside, using a phone. She is so much calmer and less anxious than she has been for months. Of course, she misses us and dad, but we are consoled with the fact that Mum is cared for and safe.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, staff will be very encouraged to hear that you are pleased with how Mum has settled into Chapel Fields. It is our pleasure to care for Mum especially during these difficult times. We are so looking forward to welcoming you into the home to visit as soon...
I have been very happy here - the accommodation is good, so are the staff and food is very good.
The care home is always very clean and has no horrible smells. The staff are friendly and helpful. They look after my mum very well. The Chaplain is very nice and helps my mum with Christian input that my mum is very happy with. The lady doing the activities is very professional and includes my mum in everyday activities that makes her stay so much more enjoyable.
Co-ordinator will be especially pleased to hear that you as a family value their input. We are looking forward to your regular visits as soon as we can. Take care and stay safe.
My dad has been a resident at Chapel Fields for just over a year. The home has a friendly professional feel and the staff are all excellent. I know that my dad has been looked after very well in these very difficult times.
Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to submit a review. It is our pleasure to care for your Dad especially during these difficult times. He is such a true gentleman and keeps all of the staff entertained reciting his favourite poems. We are looking forward to welcoming you back indoors for visiting as soon as we can. Take care and stay safe.
Always very welcoming and staff very helpful. All areas are very clean and during the coronavirus period once outside visiting was allowed it seems as though every safety precaution was taken.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. I will share your feedback with the whole staff team, they will be so pleased. It is a pleasure to care for your Mum especially during this difficult time. We take the safety of our residents, staff and visitors extremely seriously and are delighted...
My husband has been in the home since January of this year. I have found that the staff have been patient and supportive of his needs; nothing is too much trouble. Initially, he would not join in things, but now thanks to the staff and activity coordinator's encouragement, he now joins in with everything and really enjoys. I would like to thank the staff for keeping our loved ones safe during the outbreak of covid-19, it has been heartbreaking for some families, and our thoughts are with them.
Co-ordinator will be especially pleased with your comments as your husband is a regular winner of her quiz...
We would certainly recommend Chapel Fields to any future clients.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us that your mother-in-law was cared for in a respectful, caring way and that staff were attentive. We are heartened to know that you had peace of mind and would recommend our home. I will share the review with my team colleagues, who I know will appreciate your kind words in these extraordinary times we find ourselves in.
My mother has been in this care home for three years and has been visited regularly by members of our family. During this period we have visited at all times of the day and always been greeted with the same professionalism. The rooms are always immaculately clean as are the residents. The facilities, showers and toilet are to a high standard as well. The care and compassion along with the patience of the staff is exemplary. We are regularly updated on any matter by staff members and we are shown the activity book for mum so we can discuss activity she has taken part in as a prompt. The staff even arranged my brothers 60th birthday so my mother could be part of it. We have attended the entertainment on occasions and all residents thoroughly enjoy this. My mother is not the easiest resident to manage and is prone to repetition and also to outbursts of anger. However, at all times she is reassured and dealt with very professionally. I would recommend the home to anyone who is looking.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review; it will encourage the team in these unprecedented times. It is really heartening as the Home Manager, to have such a comprehensive review and makes me proud to be part of this team.
I would like to thank all the care staff, office, carers, nurses, cleaners, laundry staff and anyone I might have forgotten. Since my father entered the home I have found everyone very welcoming and obliging, always cheerful and will pass the time of day with visitors. I appreciate the task everyone faces in a care home and they all seem to do it with a cheerful demeanour. Even more so at the moment in these troubling times so thank you for doing the job you are doing, we appreciate it greatly.
It is encouraging to read this review in these extra-ordinary times, particularly that in the face of this pandemic you find the team have an even greater “cheerful demeanour”. I am sure your review, which we will share, will be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to recognise the whole team.
Excellent response on the phone followed by lovely caring visit. First impressions are excellent.
A wonderful care home, run by a well-organised team, who are always most welcoming. As we live some distance away, we can’t visit routinely. Nevertheless, when we do visit my parents (both are residents for dissimilar medical conditions - dementia and Parkinson's), it is apparent that they are being well looked after. My mum, in particular, is now much more settled than she was when she initially went into the home. Great care seems to have been taken to get to know them both and to settle them into their new surroundings. At this stage, I cannot ask for more - my parents are able to spend time together, in comfortable, safe surroundings; cared for by highly professional staff who have their best interests at heart. I feel lucky that we have such a strong team, from management and nursing staff, to catering (lovely food!), carers, cleaners and the maintenance team. I do not underestimate the size of the task and fully appreciate their collective efforts.
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to comment on our services. I am pleased you find the team welcoming and say “I cannot ask for more”. I will share your review with our team colleagues, who will be thrilled.
Such a bright, cheerful home. The staff are so pleasant and friendly. They can't do enough for you. Lots going on and lots of interaction between residents and staff. Keep them well entertained. Only positive comments to make. It is absolutely marvellous.
We were warmly welcomed from reception onwards. What lovely staff. This is always a clean, bright, happy place with a lovely atmosphere. You get the sense that people really care. The activities coordinator was especially helpful and friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. It is encouraging that you feel you receive a warm welcome from the whole team and that you find the home a clean, bright and happy atmosphere to visit your friend. Our Activity Coordinator will be especially encouraged by your comments. We do appreciate your kind words.
Staff are very supportive, caring and helpful. Communication with me is good, especially following a doctor's visit.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our service. It is encouraging that you find “staff are very supportive, caring and helpful” and that communication with you is good, especially following a doctor’s visit. I will share your kind words with my team colleagues who I am sure will find the feedback very encouraging.
The care is second to none. Staff very attentive, food and accommodation reasonable (eg room a little small).
Thank you for your comments which we will share with the staff; especially your comment regarding the care staff at Chapel Fields. It’s good to know their hard work is recognised.
Our mum made the very difficult decision that she would need to move into Residential Care after 14 months of fiercely trying desperately to maintain her independence. I cannot praise the manager and all the staff enough, how welcome they made mum feel and easy the transition from home and independence into their care. The change in mum was absolutely remarkable, all our family who had been so very worried and the staff were so amazed and thankful.
Mum is very short-sighted, being registered blind and becoming increasingly deaf, familiarity is of utmost importance to her. Staff are very aware of her vulnerability, simple things like introducing themselves when they speak to mum (not always aware they are there). Mum's radio is her lifeline and the staff appreciate how important it is to her. It can be a full-time job for the carers, ensuring the radio is on the right frequency and headphones are plugged in.
Staff work together with our family and this makes life so much easier and mum happy.
Thank you for your positive comments which we will share with the staff. We are very happy that your Mum has settled into our family at Chapel Fields.
I would recommend Chapelfields as they have been exceptionally good looking after my husband, especially with his difficult nursing needs.
Thank you for your review. It has been our absolute pleasure looking after your husband.
