Mum has been a resident for a few months now. As soon as she moved in it felt like home. She's made so many new friends with the staff. She's well fed and looked after, spending so long on her own, she wishes she'd made the decision to move into Wallfield House years ago. The place does need some
fresh decoration but overall the value for money is excellent.

Wallfield is a large airy Edwardian home in a small country town. The rooms are spacious and light. The dining room area is large enough for residents to gather together. The stairs and lift access to first-floor bedrooms which have integral toilets, showering is elsewhere. The kitchen areas are
large, and the staff very friendly and welcoming (despite our arrival at the end of the pandemic) but, in particular, very caring, so it's a fine roomy house with great caring staff.

Although at times, being overstretched, the staff do their best to be friendly, helpful and available to answer any questions I may have. My dad's call alarm is always answered promptly. Wallfield's has the feel of a family home rather than a residents home. Emails are sent to inform relatives of
any changes, alerts for fee payments or pocket money as required. Attention from the local GP surgery and district nurse is good, with podiatry and hairdressing regularly available.

My mother has been a resident of Wallfield Care Home for over two years. She is very happy there. The staff are very kind and caring. As it is a small home, she gets to know the staff well, and they know her well too. The home is welcoming, clean and bright and the food is excellent. My mother now
eats very well and her tastes are catered for. She is kept well hydrated. There is a lot of attention to detail, such as china teacups and tempting food. Communication is good, staff are never too busy to answer queries and give advice. Residents are treated as individuals. Any medical needs are dealt with promptly and the community matron visits regularly. My mother is a dog lover and a therapy dog visits her once a week much to her delight. Thanks to all the staff for their care and attention to detail.

Went to this care home to recuperate after spinal problems, and I found the experience very good.
The staff were professional, well trained, but most of all caring and empathetic.
Often kitchen and housekeeping are overlooked, but in this home they are definitely part of the team and keep the
house very clean and turn out delicious well cooked fresh food.
I cannot speak too highly of Wallfield House Residential Home which is well managed and like a home from home

My auntie lived here and was so well cared for, the staff are all lovely and caring. It is very homely and we were always made to feel welcome. We couldn't be happier with the care my auntie received.

My mother has been a resident at Wallfield for nearly 3 years. The atmosphere is one of an extended family, with many of the staff living locally. They have always tried to be very accommodating to my mother's wishes, even when she has been very demanding. It is a testament to the quality of the
food and care she has received, that when she had pneumonia recently and given only hours to live by the hospital, that she was able to fight off the infection and return to Wallfield in a couple of weeks. It's a relief to know that she is being cared for by people who know her, in a safe environment.

This home is ideal for my stepfather. It is conveniently situated and is very comfortable. The owners have only been running this home for a relatively short period of time, so improvements are taking some time but ongoing.

My mother has been at Wallfield House for nearly 3 years.
The staff seem to be quite caring and seem to care for my mum quite well. My mum has dementia so I suppose it is quite difficult to keep her entertained.
The building is old and really need redecorating in quite a few areas, some rooms have
been refurbished but my mum's in not one of them. Only one room for residents to sit, so sometimes can be a bit squashed and outside space is poor but overall care I think is good.

I have no complaints at all about Wallfield House. I have always found the staff very helpful and caring towards both my father and anyone who visits him there, there is always a cup of tea and a biscuit and we are greeted warmly whenever we call. I know that dad can be a bit grumpy at times but the
staff and owners go out of their way to make sure he is alright, I couldn't wish for better.

My aunt has lived in three care homes. This home is by far the best. She settled here very quickly and is happy here. The staff are always on hand to discuss any needs and concerns and know my aunt very well. Staff are very caring and respectful.
The food is good and the rooms are clean, bright and
comfortable. We have visited many homes over the last five years. I feel this is one of the better ones and I would thoroughly recommend this one.
We are very happy with my aunt's care and comforts. She is happy and has lived here for a year. She loved the visit from the local playgroup and enjoyed making poppies recently.

From the outset of her time at Wallfield House, Mum was treated with respect, dignity and care from all the members of the team. Whatever she needed was provided and any issues were resolved straight away.
Her room was comfortable and homely, with her own familiar things around her.
All the team
went the extra mile to make Mum feel at home and cherished. WONDERFUL!

My mother has been cared for at Wallfield House Residential Home for the past fifteen months. Mum has settled well to dependent living, she is content and has benefitted from the home from home approach and personal care and support given by both management and staff.
I and my family are always
made to feel welcome when visiting Mum and they keep me totally informed as to Mum's welfare, giving further confidence that she is safe and receiving exceptional care.
08 July 2019
My mother has been a resident for two and a half years and in all her time she has been treated with respect and dignity in a friendly, caring environment.
As my mother's condition has changed the staff have gone above and beyond our expectations to meet her more challenging needs, for which her
family are extremely grateful.
08 July 2019
My mother has resided at Wallfield House for over a year. She is so happy there. she feels safe, well cared for and no longer lonely.
Her room is spacious with several pieces of her own furniture to make it feel just like home.
The staff are caring, friendly and always have time to chat. The food
is excellent with good choices.
Activities are planned every day and the residents are stimulated and encouraged to pursue their hobbies.
There are regular medical checks, access to chiropody, optician and hairdresser and visits to and from the local community.
There is always a lovely, homely welcome.

The room was comfortable and meals were flexible, according to my likes and dislikes.

All residents seem to be happy and looked after. The person we visited was much improved since she has been living at this care home, she is now getting regular meals which is a big help and is being cared for.
