My wife is looked after with care and even affection. In pre-covid times, there were always activities and entertainment, though she was reluctant to take part on occasions. Her medical conditions are constantly monitored, and there seems to be a close link with local GP service, which is reassuring.
I feel my wife is in safe hands.

Reply from Hayley Wilkinson, General Manager at Barchester Harper Fields

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our home, we really appreciate your kind words and I will share your feedback with the team who care and support your wife. It is lovely to hear you feel reassured with the care she is receiving. We are glad to say activities have continued throughout recent months although they have been adapted to the times, I am glad your wife has chosen to be involved in some of the events and activities.

My mother has been in Harper Fields for nearly four years. She has always received excellent care. My sister and I have noticed a great difference in the staff since the new manager was employed. She has given staff support and guidance, and the atmosphere in the home is so much more relaxed and happy.
She is very supportive to the relatives and residents; keeping them informed of medical and social issues. Thank you.

Reply from Lorraine Shannon, Home Services Advisor at Barchester Harper Fields

Thank you for your extremely positive review and rating. We are so pleased that you are happy with your mom's excellent care received at Harper Fields. In addition, thank you for the feedback towards our newly appointed manager - she will be delighted to read such lovely comments.

In the last seven months, I have had both my elderly parents in Harper Fields. The staff on Kempton Suite n particular have been warm, friendly and very caring. They are supportive of the family as well as the residents and provide exactly the standard of care I was hoping to find. I can't praise them
highly enough.

My father spent the last 4 weeks of his life being cared for in Harper Fields. My family and I were delighted with the care he received during this time and, in addition, the kindness shown to us. The staff ensured that all my father's needs were met and that we, the family, were well looked after.
A big thank you to everyone involved.

All good, except unfortunately during mum's two-week respite stay the carer in charge pointed it out and apologised that none of her washing had been done over the two week stay period. So we had it all to do on her return. Fortunately, she had been supplied with sufficient clothes for her stay, by
us. Carer in charge said normally washing would have been collected every day! This may be because we supplied a linen basket - but only for dirty washing deposition, nothing ever collected.

He enjoyed talking with staff, the meals were excellent and room was superb with privacy and country view from window.

Welcomed by senior staff on arrival.


Pleasant room with windows overlooking the garden.


Requested a quiet room and got one. Good size bathroom/shower.


Carers generally good and attentive to my needs. A bit slow/late getting me up and showering (by 10.30 am). I now have colitis and it took a

few days to sort a suitable diet.


Overall a pleasant and satisfactory 2 week stay.

My father has had an extended time in hospital after a fall which resulted in additional complications on his discharge. He spent 11 days in another care home but we were unhappy with his care and transferred him to Barchester Harper Fields. It was the best thing we could have done! He is more alert,
his medical and care needs are being met and he has staff around him who really do care. They encourage him to get out of bed and he looks clean and fresh whatever time of day we visit him. The management and administrative staff have supported our family on a difficult journey but we are sure now his short stay has become long stay. He will settle into life at Barchester Harper Fields and we know we have the confidence that his needs are being met in such a friendly supportive and attractive environment.

The care and support Mum has received in the last 2 years from everyone at Harper Fields has been truly wonderful and we are so grateful to have found a deeply loving and professional team of people, in a first-class residential environment. Mum is 101 years old, very frail and with vascular dementia
but we are content in the knowledge that they understand her needs completely and show such loving kindness and respect to her every day that we have no worries at all about her care. She is dressed beautifully every day, always happy and is encouraged to take part, wherever possible, in activities both on and off-site. We never feel that she is in any way at risk since staff are always visible and on hand, and are led by excellent and supportive management. We are convinced that the love and care she receives has enabled her to reach this magnificent age. We have no hesitation in recommending Harper Fields as a truly superb care home.

My Father has been a resident here for 18 months. When he first stayed here the for respite after a hospital admission, the home was great. Call bells answered promptly and plenty of staff on hand to help. After a second hospital admission, he became a resident here and the service plummeted. Now call
bells are left unanswered, especially during meal service, as there seemingly aren’t enough staff to do both. The staff are very poorly managed. No one seems to follow my Fathers care plan, we realised after finding one of his tablets on the floor, that he wasn’t being supervised when given his medication. They seem unable to adapt to my Fathers changing needs. We are currently seeking an alternative home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Barchester Harper Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.699 for Barchester Harper Fields is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 409 Ratings = 4.699

  • b) 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 Barchester Harper Fields is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
