The building needs a refurbishment, wooden windows need re varnishing, the carpets need replacing with water proof flooring. The home always smells of urine, short staffed meaning they don't have time to care for people. This is the second floor.

My Dad was admitted into Northfield after a few month's stay in the hospital. Even though he had a good week...he deteriorated rapidly from ongoing long term health issues and unfortunately passed away.
The staff were amazing, nothing seemed too much trouble and my Dad was looked after during his short
stay.
The staff acted professionally tending to my Dad after he passed and helped me and my daughter tremendously. Thank you and can recommend for sure.
Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home
Condolences to you all on losing your father. Thank you for your kind words regarding the staff it really is appreciated. We will pass on your comments to the team at Northfield.

Following fast track referral from hospital to a nursing home my uncle could not have been placed any better than he was than at Northfield's . The care, compassion and friendship he received there as his condition worsened from his terminal illness was first class and is something that he nor I will
ever forget and will forever by thankful. It is probably unfair of me to single out any staff by name because all of those involved in his day to day care whatever their role played a really important part in making his stay at Northfield's as comfortable and friendly as it was

My mother was admitted on 24/09/2024 and died on 26/09/2024 (end-of-life care).
On admission, every member of staff introduced themselves and nothing was too much trouble.
Within that short time, my mother was treated with dignity and respect. On her last day we were also treated accordingly and what
we needed to do next was carefully explained.

My mother wasn't very long at Northlands, she sadly died in September, she was 96 years old, her needs were very demanding but Mum always received good care especially her end-of-life care, I can't thank one staff member in particular enough for the dedicated care she gave to Mum towards the end and
the emotional support she gave to me. The communication was excellent from Northlands care staff who always kept me up to date about her condition or any incidents. I shall miss visiting Northlands, I was always received warmly despite their busy schedules.
Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home
Many thanks for your warm words. It means a lot getting this feedback and the recognition you gave for the good care your late Mum received. I will pass your kind comments to the staff at the home.

My mother-in-law moved to Northfield Nursing Home for the last four weeks of her life. The staff on floor two looked after her with love, great care and dignity.
They were always attentive to all her needs.
When we visited, they were always cheerful, very helpful, pleasant and showed great compassion
to all our family.
My mother-in-law, who was confined to bed, with no mental capacity, always looked very clean, comfortable and at peace.
We would like to thank everyone, including reception, housekeeping and catering for everything they did for us.

The care home provides a safe and professional care for its residents. The food is really good. The staff are caring and friendly. The admin staff are excellent, very organised and helpful. The only thing that could be improved is the amount of activities for the residents. Maybe staff could interact
with residents more by playing games or reminiscing more.

My husband spent eight weeks in the home when he was having an assessment. The home and the staff were warm and welcoming. The cleanliness and food were excellent. The staff were very helpful and caring and built a good rapport with my husband. If the home had been nearer our home we would have been
really happy for him to remain there long term. Thanks to all the staff for the very good care they gave him.

I cannot express how wonderful the care my mum received at Northfield in her last two months was. She was transferred from hospital and the difference in atmosphere was immediately noticeable. The quality of care exceeded all the family’s expectations and we will be eternally grateful to all the staff
who cared for her so beautifully. She was really comfortable and happy in her surroundings and we could not be more pleased and grateful. Northfield is a bright and happy place, with staff who always went above and beyond to care for our mum. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our family are very happy with the care Mum is receiving in Northfield House. The home is well-run and the staff are very kind and caring. Our only slight concern relates to the furniture layout in Mum's room. The room itself is fine, but the current layout means that Mum is unable to move freely in
her powerchair, or gain access to the view from her window. We feel that the bed and furniture could be repositioned into a more user-friendly layout. Overall, we feel that Northfield is very good and we pass on our thanks to the staff and management.

My mum stayed at Northfield for a respite period, the staff are lovely and very caring. I would absolutely recommend Northfield. The rooms are lovely and clean and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I was very apprehensive about putting my Mum in a nursing home, even for a short period but
my worries were quickly gone. The staff work tirelessly and are a credit to Northfield. Thank you so much.

Northfield Nursing Home must be one of the best in Sheffield. It is well-managed, clean, welcoming and maintains very high standards of care. The nursing team on the first floor were professional, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. The care given to a frail elderly lady with dementia was exemplary. Every
detail was attended to, including access to drinks, applying face cream, hair brushing and comfort. There was a lovely rapport between patients and staff who we cannot thank enough.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.302)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.302) out of 10 for Northfield Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.302 for Northfield Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 169 Ratings = 4.302
  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 Northfield Nursing Home is based on 13 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
