Staff at this care home are the most talented, caring, conscientious, trained, personal and brilliant - we feel so lucky to have the support of this team for my dad - he went at the beginning of Feb and has got nothing but positive to say about all the staff here.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we really appreciate your feedback.
A good care home with kind, caring and friendly staff. Good activities and staff. Was told they would not move but she was moved to another care home as the council would not pay her care home fees. Very disappointed and expensive.

Thank you for your kind comments regarding our lovely colleagues and activities programme, at Field Lodge care home we ensure all residents are well cared for and live a fulfilling life. We are so very sorry that your mum has had to leave our care home, this is not what we wanted. Unfortunately, the local authority has rejected increasing the fee for your mum which has left us unable to cover costs, as this doesn't allow us to provide the high level of care, we endeavour to deliver to all residents living at Field Lodge.
Always a pleasant visit. Staff are always willing to chat and help etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
My wife spent three weeks in Field Lodge as a period of respite (mainly for me) From the first enquiry to the moment she left after three weeks, we found nothing other than professionalism coupled with a sympathetic, caring approach.

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.

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.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback and recognition of our team.
Staff are always pleasant and with a smile, easy to talk to, always ready to help and support. I feel that they do their very best for my friend who is a resident there.

The staff are wonderful - extremely kind and caring. The home is clean, bright and has many facilities. Staff have been excellent in taking both mum and me through the process and settling in mum. Nothing has been too much trouble.

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.
Thank you for this wonderful feedback we all appreciate it so much.
Field Lodge is friendly and caring. Activities are always provided. During these difficult times, nothing has been too much trouble from the staff. Always helpful. Provision of zoom meetings has been exceptional and very welcome.

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.

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.

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.

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.
