College Fields Nursing Home used to greet me alot of smiles and very friendly. Staff were very helpful and very nice to my mum. The activity people were very nice and very talkative when we visited. It was nice to get so very friendly with some of the other people staying at the home.

Choosing a care home for a loved one is never easy, but mum's care home has been reassuring and positive experience for the family.from the very beginning, staff have been warm, attentive, and genuinely compassionate, treating residents with dignity and respect.
The environment is clean,
comfortable and thoughtfully maintained, creating a homely environment for all the residents. There are daily activities and social opportunities, which have made a noticeable difference to mum's mood and overall wellbeing.
Communication with family is excellent they keep us informed which gives us peace of mind. Mum has dementia when we visit she says, 'this is such a good hotel I don't want to leave, the staff are so friendly, the food is great, there's always something going on. I'm really happy here she says. Which makes us as a family extremely happy. Thank you Collage Fields

Our mother became poorly and was treated with great care, diginity and respect by all carers and nursing staff. GP was called promptly and we as a family were kept informed of every step taken. When our mother passed family were not present but staff had been with her and she was treated with the
utmost diginity and empathy. Family on arrival after her passing were shown a great deal of sympathy and were consoled by staff and allowed as much time as needed with her to say our goodbyes. Various staff came to pay their respects at this time and during the time we were there to clear her room. A member of staff who had previously worked with her even insisted on handling her after care before she was taken to her final resting place at the funeral home. We as a family cannot thank all staff at college fields enough for the outstanding care they gave our mother throughout the time she lived there. She made friends and memories as did we that will carry us through the difficult times ahead

All Staff are very friendly and helpful, and always very polite, if we were to ask for anything they are always around to give us help if required, they include wife of the resident in all extra activities when they do something special, Christmas dinner, fish Friday, plus all the family on open
day, really enjoyable

All the team at College Fields do an amazing job and are a credit to their industry. From the warmth of the welcome at reception to the politeness/ kindness of the nurses/ carers and office staff the experience was always pleasant. The entertainment team engage all residents in a wide mix of fun,
educational and topical activities. The office staff are very professional and also show the same warmth to residents and visitors alike.
My mum was well looked after during her 20 month tenure at the home and us the family were also well looked after when visiting. The home felt like a home for mum and we were always made to feel welcome and be a part of the establishment.
When mum passed away early in April the team were all very considerate/ sympathetic to us and showed us the love/ care that they show to the residents.
A true credit to the industry and a top notch team regardless of their role in the home.

My mother has complex medical needs. Constant nursing attention is needed twenty four hours a day for pain control from a range ailments. This home has provided all of the above in a caring and fully supportive environment.

A pleasant environment with staff you are comfortable with leaving your loved on with, the treatment and are they receive is wonderful to experience.

After a hospital stay, a year ago I had five weeks respite in College Fields which was my first experience at respite. Right at that time of entering I was made very welcome. Everyone was so friendly. A year later I've had another very enjoyable three week stay at College Fields and from my arrival.
I had a really nice time with them all. I recommend this nursing home absolutely. I was recognised by many of the staff from last year and I met many new staff, becoming instant friends. I got known as the "chatterbox", and have lots of names to remember of staff of many different nationalities and religious backgrounds. My laptop has many downloaded items in their different languages including Twi, Malayalam, Hindi, Xhosa, Filipino, Shona (The website is available in over 1000!), and English. I found the Internet was available at all times which was such a bonus for me.
This year I also enjoyed my stay very much. I hope to come back again soon if they'll have me. best wishes all.

I am very impressed with the care my father has had since being in a nursing home.
All the staff are amazing with dad, especially as he has a lot of care needs and is unable to do a lot of everyday tasks himself.

My father Trevor was resident at College Fields from October 2025 until he passed this week. During the time he was there he was cared for by many different carers. They all treated him with kindness and respect. When we visited nothing was too much trouble and they were always friendly and
extremely pleasant. They sat and talked to him when he was alone which was a great comfort to us. I would especially
like to mention Divya, Shambeta and Sandra for their support at all times.

I write to commend the staff of College Fields for their care and humanity.
My brother in law was a resident for over 4 months until he recently passed away.
The staff were consistently very kind both to my brother in law and sister in law. Also to the rest of the family. My sisters' wishes as
his advocate were also adhered to, and nothing was too much trouble.
He was always clean and well presented and was treated respectfully by the staff and that includes all members of the team.
The food was very good and although his appetite was poor, he would always be given other choices as supplement.
In particular, was the care that was shown to my brother in law and the family in his final days.
Many thanks.

Staff are always welcoming and friendly, especially over the Christmas period. The home is clean and well-looked-after and secure. The residents are well cared for and staff pop in to check that the patients are safe and secure. Medical staff and non-medical staff are equally friendly and happy.
Good atmosphere.

My mother has been a resident at College Fields since 2022 and throughout her time there has enjoyed College Fields being her home. The staff are fabulous. Kind, caring, respectful, knowledgable and with humour. Their dedication to the comfort and care of residents is clear. The team work
together to deliver top quality care. This includes the entertainment team, cooks and cleaners. And the care extends to families too. Any questions or support have been listened to and l responded to quickly. I would absolutely recommend College Fields to any family going through the challenging decision and pathway of nursing care. Both my mother and I feel very fortunate that's this is now her home.

Lovely place, she felt at home.
Loved the staff, they even became her friends. Lots of activities, even in her room when unable to attend. Able to decorate the room as she wished, even picked the wall colour. She chose Liverpool red.
Great visiting hours, never felt like we had to leave. Food was
a little old fashioned for her taste. The Kitchen manager even made her a menu to try that would suit her taste/fussiness. She would sometimes have her own food brought in, that the kitchen staff would heat up for her. Nothing was an issue, She never had a bad word to say.
The care and friendship she received during her time at college Fields was a real comfort to the whole family.
