Overall Experience

It's a joy to visit my friend, the staff are friendly and caring, we chat to other residents and their visitors. There is always a selection of lovely cakes and pastries on offer in the Cafe. The entertainment staff are always busy organising things to entertain and occupy the residents. My friend says that the quality of the food is really good. If one of my relatives needed care I would be happy for them to reside there.

Overall Experience

Wonderful care was given to my mother at Field Lodge, where she had lived for five years. From the manager to the carers, kitchen staff, domestic, etc, everyone was thoughtful, kind and caring. I could not have wished for any better care. The activities provided were excellent and relevant and organised to suit residents needs. ]Sadly, my mother died a few days ago. I will be forever grateful to Field Lodge for looking after her so well.

My mother has been in Field Lodge for over 3 years and she has had amazing care. The staff are always smiling and nothing is too much when asked anything. The home is very clean and welcoming. Mum has dementia but is always happy and well cared for. I would recommend Field Lodge to anyone who is looking for a safe and caring home for a relative.

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident at Field Lodge for the best part of three years. With dementia, type one diabetes and more recently a mini-stroke, she is a complex individual. Mum has been very well looked after at the home and treated with dignity. Medical issues have always been resolved as quickly as possible and the family has always been kept informed. Staff are generally very good, facilities and entertainment all of a high standard. I would recommend Field Lodge if asked.

Overall Experience

I arrived in December and was made very welcome. I am looked after and have a good relationship with the lovely staff. I enjoy taking part in the activities programme and they are varied. On the whole, I am very settled in my new home, the only improvements I can suggest are to the wifi connection and a more consistent standard of catering.

Reply from Hannah Atherley, Manager at Field Lodge

Thank you for your lovely words, we are delighted to hear you're very happy living at Field Lodge. We will work with you to ensure the catering meets your requirements.

Field Lodge feels like home. There is a kind and caring atmosphere. It has excellent facilities. They are clean and comfortable. There is a lovely garden. There are many enjoyable activities for residents. The staff are caring and professional. They were very thoughtful; for example, buying and decorating a table for my parent's wedding anniversary, and also Christmas too. Thank you for your kindness and care to both my parents.

Field Lodge Care Home in st Ives has a friendly welcoming atmosphere. It stood out from other care homes as the place where Mum would feel most at home. The care team are kind and thoughtful and help to put mum at her ease. The covid pandemic brought lots of challenges but the protection measures were second to none. Management team have been quick to address any day-to-day concerns. Overall, Mum is very happy there.

My husband only moved into Field Lodge eight months ago. The care he has received has been exemplary from the time he entered the home until he passed away. He has been treated with kindness, respect and dignity right to the end. I cannot thank the management and care staff enough.

Review from P K (Son of Resident) published on 10 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Field Lodge is a friendly and caring environment with excellent staff and facilities. My father has been a resident for nearly three years. He has recently returned from a brief spell in hospital and was desperate to get back "home" as he now called Field Lodge. The staff have been magnificent with his new and increased needs, all of which has been delivered despite the strain put on everybody by the Covid situation. That said, our experience with both the care and management team has always been good. The default is to help and support whenever they can, but more importantly, he is happy.

Overall Experience
My husband was transferred to Field lodge in April, when he arrived he was unable to walk and talk very little as he had lost an extreme amount of weight due to infection. Since the move to Field Lodge, he is back up walking unaided and has found his voice along with his smile.
I can’t thank the staff at Field Lodge enough for the care they have given my husband, to see him smiling and happy is the biggest gift they have given him and peace of mind for me.
Amazing place.
The staff and nursing team are just too good for words.

Thank you.

I have been extremely impressed with the way the managers and staff have handled the whole covid episode from March 2020. Unfortunately despite their very best efforts covid entered the home in February 202. However, strict guidelines and surveillance combined with regular testing are having positive effects.

Overall Experience

Efficiently run home with extremely good caring staff. The home is clean, does not smell and is always welcoming. Catering is well done and offers a nice variety of menus to suit everybody. Health care is good with professional medical people visiting when required. Entertainment and activities is well organised and enjoyed by many. The hairdresser does a good job sometimes under difficult circumstances. During the current Covid scenario the home has been very well managed and strict rules and governance have been strictly enforced to protect the residents and staff. Well done on taking this stance. Communication and keeping relatives informed and updated is excellent. Reassuring to know that our relatives are safe and well looked after.

Mum is being cared for by such kind, caring, understanding and dedicated staff during these uncertain times of the pandemic. Everyone at Field Lodge has supported her and the whole family through a most difficult time in all our lives. We are so grateful that Mum is in such a caring environment, and the absolute utmost is being done to keep residents, staff and loves ones safe during these unprecedented times. Staff dedication to residents well-being is second to none!! To say a "huge thank you" is insufficient.

Linda Martinez
Linda MartinezJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2004

As a Home Manager, I am constantly striving to make the home a better place. At Field Lodge, we’ve been a part of several firsts for Care UK, which I’m really proud of. We were the first Care UK home to provide residents with Namaste care and the first to be awarded the ‘Care for VIPs’ accreditation from Worcester University.

I’m very passionate about supporting individuals living with dementia, both initiatives acknowledge a gold-tier level of care as well as heightening support for relatives thanks to a strong focus on person-centred care. From the levels of support and care, I have been shortlisted for ‘Dementia Care Manager of the Year’ at the National Care Awards 2023.

I am keen to create an inclusive environment for everyone, we celebrate all cultures and LGBTQ+ with a variety of activities. Field Lodge has a homely atmosphere, I’m incredibly proud of the whole team who make the home such a comfortable place for everyone.

Keri Barker
Keri BarkerJob Title:Lifestyle Coordinator & Dementia Care Coach

I love the family feel of our care home and enjoy getting to know the residents and their families. Knowing I’ve made a difference in the resident's lives, especially those living with dementia, is the highlight of my day.

I’m a trained namaste practitioner, as part of my day I run namaste sessions which include hand or foot massages, music therapy, and themed sensory and gentle movement sessions. I’m very passionate about namaste as it gives people living with advanced dementia a way to communicate, it brings dignity, connection, and comfort, embracing the essence of each individual within the environment of the home.

Field Lodge is like no other care home, I love working here, and I’ve been at the home since 2014.

Sam Shepherd
Sam ShepherdJob Title:Lifestyle LeadJoined: 2014

I put on a programme of activities every week, I love organising fun and exciting things for residents to do, whether that’s out in the minibus, or entertainment and activities in the home. Our location is a real treat as in a couple of minutes residents are in St Ives, where we can stop and get a coffee and feed the ducks.

But not everyone likes going out or group activities, I find it just as important to have a cup of tea and a natter, this can be about their life history or life at home, I always ensure activities are resident-led, to ensure maximum enjoyment and engagement.

I have worked at Care UK since 2014, it’s a fantastic organisation, everyone cares about delivering the highest quality care.

Donna Tattersall
Donna TattersallJob Title:Head ChefJoined: 2020

I have over 30 years’ experience in catering in hotels and restaurants, when I joined Field Lodge in 2020 it was my first experience of working in a care home.

I’m passionate about great food and about delivering interesting, satisfying meals to residents. My favourite part of the day is serving the meals, seeing happy faces and gaining feedback from residents.
