Review from Tina B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Fieldhead was the third and final home my mother lived in, and the best. Not in terms of luxury or presentation its faded Victorian splendour could be much improved by an investment of cash to improve facilities. However the staff are well led, probably not well paid, but their honesty, dedication and

respect for their residents is exemplary. My mother was challenging in her Alzheimer years but they cared for her with good grace, sympathy and understanding. I highly reccomend their service for your loved one. Nothing goes missing, not even a chocolate from her box. Clothes and personal hygiene always impeccable. Kindness is the key! Im sure good management is behind the efficient running of the home, they're always happy to talk, comfort and discuss any issues. Thank you all

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Hi, Thank you for your very kind words which I will relay to all the staff who cared for mum, she was definitely a character and I will treasure the photo of her sat at the back of my des taking charge of the home, she gave me quite a few laughs. Thank you

Overall Experience

Fieldhead Court is in a beautiful peaceful location surrounded by gardens, trees, flowers, wildlife and bird tables. The staff and teams are extremely caring, respectful, supportive, attentive and professional. We could not have wished for anywhere better for our beloved dad during his end of life care.

The pressure of previous weeks lifted and relief felt by our family that dad was finally safe and comfortable was immense. Only wish he could have been there sooner. Dad was treated with care, dignity and respect throughout his time there. We will be forever grateful and thankful to the fantastic nursing team and every member of staff who made sure dad was comfortable in his final days. From the first day I visited to the saddest day when dad passed away the support and care provided to dad (and to us every day/overnight) was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so, so much to everyone for everything you did for our dad.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

We cannot thank you enough for those kind words. We always try to do our best, and it is at that moment in both your and your dad's care that you need us the most. Our aim is always to ensure everyone is comfortable and feels relaxed to ensure the best possible outcome. Thank you from all of us at Fieldhead Court, take care.

Overall Experience

My late aunt received care at Fieldhead Court for 5 days prior to her death. The team were very helpful and helped her to settle in and were very friendly to us too. As I only visited Fieldhead Court twice and my aunt wasn't in a position to use the facilities, its difficult to provide an accurate review.
Her

room was pleasant and airy, and smelt clean. The only negative I found was the unpleasant aroma on entering the main part of the home.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

We would like to thank you for completing the review card and we are pleased that you had a good experience with us, I am however sorry there was an offensive smell and will endeavour to try and eradicate this for further clients' experience. Many thanks

Overall Experience

Lovely residential home supported/cared for my auntie in her final few months they couldn't do enough for her lovely room with 2 windows facing out on to the park and the homes grounds lovely meals and a good selection on the menu and if they didn't have what she wanted on the menu they made her what

she did fancy. When attending appointments they made sure she had a packed lunch to take with her in case she got hungry. The care home and grounds are set in a beautiful tranquil location plenty of birds and wildlife. The care home is well maintained and clean, and the grounds are well cared for. The staff and management are lovely and friendly always happy to help and go above and beyond for the residents plenty of in house activities from flower arranging, holy communion, carol singers at Christmas and a visit from crunchy the horse and Santa. Lovely and quality meals plenty of hot drinks and snacks offered throughout the day fresh juice in your room changed regularly.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

We cannot thank you enough for your very kind words and to let you know your Auntie was a pleasure to care for her in the short time she was with us, our deepest thoughts are with the family as they go through the time without her. Take care

Overall Experience

Fieldhead Court have been absolutely fantastic throughout my dads care to the end of his life. We couldn't have asked for a better care home for my dad. The staff were all lovely and were very attentive. They looked after him with dignity and respect throughout. They always had something on for the

residents to do and even did some trips which he loved. We couldn't have asked for more

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

He certainly did enjoy his outings and getting involved with the activities within the home and his afternoon coffee in the garden with family, he was a pleasure to care for, and our thoughts are always with the family at the time of loss. Many thanks from us all at Fieldhead Court. Take care

Overall Experience

If there are angels amongst us they most certainly work at Fieldhead Court. The respect and dignity they showed to our late father was absolutely amazing. A memory that will stay with me is that even after he had passed away the nurse on duty knocked on the bedroom door before entering and then asked

our father if it was ok to enter. Wonderful people to whom we will always be thankful for making the last few days of our father's life so comfortable. If only we had discovered Fieldhead Court several years ago would our Fathers care have been so much better.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

We cannot thank you enough for the kind words and we like yourself had met your father when he first needed care. I will feed your lovely words to the team. Thank you

I am very satisfied with the care and support that my mother received from this care home. My mother stated several times that she liked all the staff at the home. She stated they were friendly and helpful and treated her with dignity and happiness. She stated she was glad to have stayed here, and of

course, the food was beautiful.

Overall Experience

My mum was under the care of Fieldhead Court for 14 months. The staff have been so supportive to Mum and to us as a family. They always had time for us when we had questions. In my mum's last weeks, they did everything they could to support and do the best for mum. They welcomed us and offered us help

as a family, allowing us to stay with mum until her last breath. We felt like we were part of the family there and the staff gave 100% to caring for mum.
Thank you so much.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Hi, we always feel like the relatives are part of our family and like to think we treat them so, it is very welcome feedback to know we actually do treat you that way. Thank you for the feedback, all feedback good or bad, allows us to go forward and build on a well-established care environment. I will ensure all the staff are notified of your feedback.

Overall Experience

Mum was only here for a short time, the staff couldn't do enough for her, they were always friendly, polite, professional and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. When staff felt Mum needed to see the nurse she was there very quickly. We were kept informed about how Mum was doing whenever we were there.

Staff were always asking if they could do anything for us too. Mum and I had more interaction with staff here in four short days than we ever did with staff at the hospital. I would highly recommend to anyone in the unfortunate position of needing to look for care for a relative.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, we are always working hard to give the very best care to our residents and their families, having positive feedback is always a good sign that we are doing our job effectively. Many thanks from all the team.

Review from Allan H (Grandson of Resident) published on 21 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My grandma was a resident for three years before she passed away in the tender, loving care of all the staff at Fieldhead Court. She often referred to the staff as an extended family. She loved everything about the home and her only regret was she did not come in sooner before she had a fall, with a

long lie at home.

Hi Allan, thank you for those kind words, we always do our best to care for our residents, we like to think they are family as we did with your grandma. I will feed your very kind words to the staff, thank you from all of us at Fieldhead Court.

Overall Experience

On looking for a home for our dad we wanted a 'home from home'. Somewhere for him to be in company, to mix for his social skills, to keep his mind active, to be surrounded by caring people to tend to his needs, and above all to be happy. Fieldhead Court offer all this, as you enter into a welcoming,

warm atmosphere. The staff are friendly, professional and helpful with any queries you may have, tending to all residents with awareness of their individual needs. The meals are well-balanced and appetising. The domestic staff are continually taking care of the day to day cleaning and tidying. We would definitely recommend Fieldhead Court Nursing Home.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

We cannot say thank you enough for the kind words, we endeavour to ensure everyone's stay at Fieldhead Court is the best and that they are offered the best care and that their individualised needs are met to the best of our ability. I will pass this feed back to all the staff and everyone at Fieldhead court thanks you.

Overall Experience

My mum was admitted during the pandemic and I had no choice as to the home; I couldn't have chosen a better place. My mum is very happy and is well cared for. The facilities are very good and there are lots of different activities to stimulate the residents. The old part of the house is in need of refurbishment,

but the newer rooms are excellent. The staff and management team are friendly and helpful and I feel involved in all aspects of my mum's care. More time and money could be spent on the exterior. For example, the door is always dirty and the signs could be cleaned. The drive and car park could be retarmacked.

I have been unfortunate to use 2 care homes prior to my father becoming a resident at Fieldhead Court. The difference in care, compassion and attention to my father's needs could not be more stark. Fieldhead Court is exceptional in the standards it provides on all 3. Thank you and well done to all the

carers for making my father so comfortable.

Overall Experience

Most of the staff are ok but a few bad apples have made my brother's last weeks of life a misery.
Left for long periods of time with wounds that needed redressing. The smell in his room was unbearable because of the neglect of his hygiene and the care of his wounds.
There is a lot more to say but

at the moment I will have to hang back as this is being looked into by the Care Commission.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Firstly let me say I am extremely sorry you feel you had a bad experience and we are sorry for your loss, we thank you for your comments and take all complaints seriously, we will investigate your concerns and await communication from the CQC.
