Review from Patricia E (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident here for twelve months. During this time, the quality of care was second to none. Staff went over and above, and really made her feel comfortable and at home.
We were always informed of any updates from the staff, I cannot fault the communication from them.
I would highly
recommend this nursing home.
Reply from Annette Grayson, Administrator at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your positive comments. Our aim is to make people feel welcome and, more importantly, offer a good standard of care. We are so pleased that your mum felt safe and comfortable and also regarded Northfield as her home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Northfield Nursing Home since January. Due to the many restrictions of the pandemic, we did not have the chance to view the home for ourselves and were initially unable to visit her. We have always been able to speak to her over the phone and we continue to be very grateful
to all the staff for their support and care in these difficult times. Since the lifting of restrictions, we now visit mum in the Pod and we are very happy to see that she always looks clean and well cared for and is very settled there. We are grateful to the staff for making her hair and nails look so lovely. Mum has told us how much she enjoys the activities, particularly making cards and taking part in games of bingo. She has had the opportunity to sit outside in the lovely garden and chat with other residents. If we have any questions or need any help, we always find the staff to be very polite and helpful. We would like to thank all the staff for their continued care and support.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback and for your wonderful review. Your words really reflect how hard the staff have worked, and continue to work throughout this challenging time. I will make sure this is communicated back to the staff.

My aunty was in this home for over 3 years and the care she received was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for better. She was really poorly in October, and with Covid19 I couldn't get to see her, but the home kept me updated all the time. She sadly passed away but they were lovely with her and they
were very good at phoning me all the time. My aunty was very happy in the home and I am very grateful to the lovely carers. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words it really has been challenging through the year, I am really pleased she was happy living with us during her last few years. The staff have been amazing I agree.

Mum, now 101, moved to Northfield from hospital in November 2019. I was impressed by the care she received from the start and the effort they took to see she was no longer completely bedbound. Since Covid struck in March 2020 I've not been able to visit indoors but kept in touch by phone, WhatsApp and
the new visitors pod. Northfield have kept her safe and comfortable and I cannot thank them enough for all they've done for her over the last very difficult year. Thank you to every single member of staff.

Review from V S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my late parents were resident in the home, Mum for two years, Dad for four months, and during their stays, they both received very good care and treatment, tailored to their specific needs. In my experience, the dedicated team of staff, whatever their role - professional carers, domestic and admin
were hard-working, caring and kind towards the residents. The home has a friendly family atmosphere, which was welcoming to visitors. Every effort was made to help residents feel safe and comfortable. During the pandemic, when visits weren't possible, I remained confident that the home continued to provide the best possible care despite the increased workload and difficult, challenging times faced by staff.

In an age when nursing homes are subject to adverse comment and bad press, this home is an exception. All staff have, in my experience, been kind, courteous, helpful and informative. The administration side has been clear, prompt and efficient. They are doing a wonderful job, even more so under the
current difficult covid restrictions. Thank you for all you have done for my relative.

My mother was a resident at Northfield for approximately three years before she passed away. My overriding impression of Northfield is that all staff did their utmost to provide a caring, supportive and safe environment for the residents and my mother was treated with friendliness, dignity and respect
at all times. As a frequent visitor to the home I was always provided with a warm welcome and found the staff to be very efficient and helpful.
Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words I am pleased your mother was treated with dignity and respect and that you both were happy with the service provided.

The care my father has received whilst in Northfield Nursing Home has been excellent. My father is 94 with many health issues and has had much physio to improve his transfers to prepare him for returning home.
During these testing times with COVID, the staff has arranged video calls and window visits
which have kept us in touch.
Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback, it is lovely to hear that you felt your father received excellent care whilst at Northfield. We will pass these comments onto the staff at the home as they have been absolute superstars throughout this pandemic.

As soon as I arrived I felt cared for not just looked after by everyone. The staff are all amazing, caring, friendly and professional. I could not have asked for more because they all gave me everything and more that I needed. I have worked in the carer world for many years and have visited many many
care homes, but I have never experienced one as wonderful as this one. I didn't think one existed. I cannot fault it which is also wonderful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We didn't go inside due to Covid-19 but Mum sent excellent reviews of Northfield Nursing Home. Staff were kind and compassionate to us also, ever happy to let us speak to Mum or to FaceTime daily. The rehabilitation was superb and we can't believe how well she is now, having been hospitalised for a
month with Covid-19 before coming to Northfield, aged 95 years. She's moved out today to another nursing home for a month but is considering returning to Northfield if the new one doesn't provide a high standard of care and excellent food. Mum said she would miss her 'angels'.
Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your comments. It is lovely to hear she is really well now. I will pass on her comments to her angels.

After a short stay in 2019, there was no doubt in my mind that when full-time care became necessary, there was only one place for my aunt and that was Northfield. When she was there previously, they had welcomed her and made her so comfortable she had no fears on returning. Thank you to you and your
staff for being so caring.

Very clean rooms. carpet, bathroom etc. First impressions are poor as the reception area is dark and uninviting. Exceptionally poor parking facilities. As always, it depends on which staff are on shift as to the service provided to clients.

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.
