Field Lodge

My mother had a two week respite break at Field Lodge following an episode of serious illness. She had a lovely room which was freshly decorated, clean and user friendly. The carers were kind, treated my mother with dignity and respect and made the effort to make sure she felt welcome as they realised that she felt anxious and homesick at times. My mother was able to enjoy the activities organised for the residents and appreciated the company of the staff and residents during her stay. Meal times were sociable and the meals were excellent. The administration staff were helpful and also concerned to make her stay as smooth as possible.

Lovely welcoming place, clean, well designed, lovely gardens and very friendly staff. Really loved the idea of The Cafe, a super meeting place for residents and visitors. Our mum was only in for 2 weeks for respite but will return if long-term care is needed.

The care mum received at Field Lodge was exemplary. Family visits were welcome at any time and the peace of mind we had about mum living there cannot be exaggerated. All of the staff helped in making her last months as good as they could possibly have been.

Staff and carers are caring and attentive. The standard of all facilities (care, catering, social, entertainments etc) is high.

This attention to visitors is even more important when it's given to residents. My mum was at Field Lodge for 3 months until the end of her life. She had the best possible care and was very content and settled in her lovely, bright room with delicious food and friendly, chatty carers and nurses.

When Mum first came to Field Lodge, the previous manager and customer relations, I must say both had a much more hands-on approach and in general, the whole atmosphere of Field Lodge was better then.

The facilities at Field Lodge are good. There are activities going on quite frequently. Staff are friendly. Food is good with a variety of choices. However, I feel some aspects need improvement, Mum's personal hygiene is not good enough. Showers are hardly ever given, just body washes. The room is kept fairly tidy. The bathroom needs a lot of improvement hygiene wise.

Field Lodge has exceeded my expectations as a care home. When I took my uncle to stay at Field Lodge the staff were and are very supportive. They are all very caring and despite some of my uncle’s challenging behaviour they care for him, and I believe really love him. It is wonderful for me and the rest of the family to entrust my Dear Uncle in your tender and loving care. Thank you so much for everything.

Noticeably over the last year, the care home has declined rapidly since the change of manager. Although the staff still are attentive to my mother, they have less time as there is so fewer staff. How 2 staff can be expected to cope with 11 beds is beyond me. There seems a weekly exodus of staff which for Mum in her condition is very confusing.

I have also been waiting for 4 days for an email reply from the manager about serious concerns I have raised about my mother which to date I have still not received.

Overall the caring staff you have are great but I am worried how long this will last as the numbers are dwindling.

The lifestyle lead is a great credit to the home and puts a huge effort into meeting the resident's wishes. The reception staff always make you feel welcome. The food is varied and good. The car park is too small and crockery could be cleaned better.

There is an excellent choice of tasty and fresh food at every meal. Field Lodge has first-rate facilities and a wide range of activities for the many residents. There is a welcoming buzz from when you first enter the door.

Very happy with the level of care given. The staff are friendly and quite willing to help us with questions. One concern I have is I asked for weight to be done, as my mother-in-law seemed to be loosing weight and was generally under the weather. This did not happen and I had to ask again.

Would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone requiring first class care. Thanks to all the team for keeping my mum safe and allowing her the dignity she so deserves.

My mother has been a resident since November 2015. She was in a poor state of mind and health when she first came in but over the two years she has been there she has improved dramatically. I put her massive improvement down to all the care and attention that all the staff have shown my mother. I honestly think that had she still been living on her own she certainly would have died in 2015.

Recently, having to place my father into care, it was really important he was in the best place for him and me.

After looking at a number of homes in the Huntingdon area this, in my opinion, was the best with only one other getting anywhere near in terms of homeliness and quality staff. First impressions count and we were not disappointed here either with our first and subsequent meetings with the home manager.

Since placing my father at Field Lodge and having met all the staff we find visiting a pleasure, no one could be more helpful and caring.

Thank you Field Lodge.

I had looked at several care homes before my visit to Field Lodge and none of them came anywhere near the standards of this beautiful home. The decision to have my husband cared for by others was the hardest I have ever taken but was made easier by the help, support and care for both of us by the caring staff at Field Lodge. It is so much more than I could ever have hoped for.

The building is only about 3 years old. As such it is very well designed and is maintained in good condition. However, the main strength of Field Lodge is the excellence of the staff. There is a strong emphasis on training and the staff have a wonderful attitude to care.

Welcoming, clean, modern dementia care home. Staff helpful and supportive. They have lots of patience and understanding of my mother's Dementia needs. Plenty of activities and opportunity to visit lots of familiar places that my mother remembers.

I find Field Lodge a very friendly and welcoming home. Staff - carers, receptionists, housekeepers are all so nice.

Her dementia is very bad, but the care she has received at Field Lodge has been fantastic. We do not have to worry about anything. She is treated with great dignity.
