We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that Clanfield had a place available for Mum when she needed it. Having been diagnosed with terminal cancer she was determined to stay at home as long as possible. However, she eventually agreed that she needed to be somewhere where she could receive the round-the-clock care she needed. Sadly, she had only ten days with the lovely people at Clanfield before she died. But those ten days were probably amongst the happiest she had spent over the last year since her diagnosis. There is a culture of warm, loving care at Clanfield set by the longstanding members of staff and copied by the younger carers. Mum felt loved, valued and secure and died in her lovely room, with her carers by her bedside. Our only regret was that her time at Clanfield was so short. But we will remain eternally grateful to every member of the Clanfield team for making her final days so special.

There are no words to adequately express our grateful thanks to each and every one of the team at Clanfield Residential Care Home who took such great care of my father. The building may look a little shabby but is clean and well maintained and the quality of care the residents get is second to none. All the staff show the ultimate kindness, respect and compassion to the residents and the Care staff are very efficient when it comes to any medical issues the residents may have. My father had several hospital appointments during his time there and a member of the staff accompanied us which was such a help to me. Entertainment in the form of singers, dancers and talks is arranged for the residents on a weekly basis and my father particularly enjoyed the 'games' afternoons. During my father's stay at Clanfield it became like a second family to us as we got to know many of the staff by name.

Kindness, patience and understanding. My mum had day care and respite care. The care she recieved was the best, what I would want for anyone. It really is a home with a real family feeling. Thank you.

I can't express enough how grateful I am for Clanfield Residential Care Home. From the moment you step through their doors, you feel a sense of warmth and love that's simply unmatched. The staff - caregivers, admin, kitchen, cleaners and maintenance are all incredible. The caregivers provide unparalleled kindness, respect, and compassion. The admin staff ensures everything runs smoothly, the kitchen staff prepares meals that bring comfort and joy, the cleaners keep the environment spotless and welcoming and the maintenance team ensures everything is in perfect condition. Together, they create a home filled with joy and dignity, making every day special for their residents. Clanfield truly stands as the heartbeat of the care industry. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you did for my lovely dad. He settled so quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the company of the residents, especially his breakfast buddies and the lovely ladies and gentlemen in the sun lounge. Bless you!

Unfortunately our Mother wasn't in Clanfield for long. We so wish she had been, as the care she received was fantastic. Each member of the team, including cleaners office staff etc we couldn't fault. We chose this home because of the homely feel to it and we just got a good feeling about everything. Ok, it could do with a lick of paint etc, but please don't right this off because of that. We can't rate this home and its staff high enough. On the day she passed they were with her and us until the end, they were there for us each step of the way. We are so very thankful she passed here, with people who loved her. Thanks to you all.

My mum has just passed away having spent a year at Clanfield. She loved her short time at the home and I only wish she had gone to you sooner. Right up to the end she was treated with love, dignity and respect and so was I as I sat with her in her bedroom. All the seniors were exceptional, they answered my many questions and gave me comfort when I was upset. The wonderful support staff that kept her comfortable and clean and her clothes fresh and her room tidy. The amazing cook who let me make teas in her kitchen and gave me biscuits and cake. The lovely ladies in the office who always did everything they could to help me and the lovely staff member who always had time for my mum for a chat and a laugh. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Clanfield was the perfect homely ended we all wished for. Beautiful home and gardens. It's a very special place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Clanfield is a beautiful old house situated in stunning gardens. My mum was resident at clanfield moving there aged 90. When she first arrived she was very nervous and worried about her new surroundings wanting to spend all her time in her room keeping isolated from everyone. The staff at Clanfield spent so much time getting to know and understand mums needs gently persuading and encouraging her to join in firstly just sitting in the lounge observing but with their constant care and patience she began to enjoy joining in the daily activities something she had never done before. The staff take the time to get to know each and every resident - they notice even the smallest changes in behaviour immediately acting on this whether this requires medical or social to support. The interior of the house may be a little tired but I cannot fault the care and attention given by the amazing staff. I have no hesitation in recommending clanfield to anyone looking for residential care for a loved one.

The care and compassion shown to my father during his stay in Clanfield Residential Care Home was incredible. The staff treated him and us with dignity and love. The grounds are lovely as is the rural location. We would highly recommend Clanfield Residential Care Home.

My mother moved into Clanfield in June 2022 after resisting the need for full time care, being fiercely independent all of her life. In no time at all she wondered why she hadn't made the move significantly earlier! She embraced life in Clanfield immediately. The carers are fantastic and she formed great relationships with many of them sharing jokes and banter on a daily basis. Nothing is ever too much trouble to the carers or management and mum was always offered autonomy in her stay there. There's no time to be bored at Clanfield as morning and afternoon activities and shows are provided ranging from bingo to musicians. If you have any concerns about how well your loved one will be cared for then Clanfield will put those concerns aside. The care is second to none!! I'd recommend this care home to any potential resident who want the freedom of choice in their decision making whilst staying in a residential care that feels like their cosy home.

Mum put herself into Clanfield for respite care at the age of 99 years. She celebrated her 100th birthday with them and needed to stay through to end of life: a total of 6 and 1/2 months. I found Mum's care to be exemplary for both her physical health and emotional well-being. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff who were always available, approachable, informative and friendly. I experienced professionalism and love that always went the extra mile for everyone, including me. Mum and I became part of the Clanfield family and I miss them all enormously. Thank you Clanfield for being there when Mum and I needed you most.

My mother was resident in Clanfield for the last five months of her life. She died 1st July 2023 at the age of 107 years. Those last months were made much easier by the care and attention Mother received from the carers and all the staff at the home. They also had time for my brother, who had been Mother's carer for most of her last years and finally letting go was difficult. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clanfield to anyone looking for a care home.

My mum went into Clanfield straight from hospital in October 2020 during Covid until she sadly passed away in November 2022. Clanfield had been recommended to us by several people. It was one of the hardest decisions we as a family had to make as Mum didn't want to go in a home but we knew that we could no longer give her the care that she needed. Mum did not make it easy for the staff in the beginning but they won her round and in the end, they became her family too. She was always treated with dignity and respect and the care she received was second to none. The staff kept us up to date with things and always made us feel welcome whenever we visited. The family were all there when Mum passed away and when we thanked the staff for all the care that she received, this comment will stay with us forever. A member of staff whom Mum had become very close to said, and I quote "No, thank you, for letting us care for your mum". We couldn't have asked for any more.

My father was a resident at Clanfield for a few months before he died and in that time the care and respect he was shown was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and my sister and I were updated regularly on his health. I would thoroughly recommend Clanfield to anyone looking for care for an elderly relative.

My grandfather was a resident at Clanfield for eight years and was the happiest and most relaxed he had ever been. At all times he was treated with dignity and respect and always given complete autonomy over his care. He was able to choose where he spent his time and eat his meals. If he chose to stay in his room that was no problem. He loved all the staff and became very close to many of them. In my opinion, the care he received was outstanding in all respects. Nothing was ever too much trouble and there was always excellent communication from the management whenever there were any problems, that were always promptly resolved.

My mother lived at Clanfield for 18 happy months until she passed away there. The care she received was fantastic, her medical needs were catered for, and she was treated as another human being, not just another old person to be looked after. Clanfield always kept me up to date on Mum's health and always welcomed me when I visited. The day I took Mum to stay at Clanfield was one of the hardest days of my life, but as soon as we arrived members of staff met us outside, took Mum's hand, and said "how about a nice cup of tea." Mum walked in and never looked back, it was obvious to me at that point that Mum had gone to the right place.

My grandmother has joined Clanfield on many occasions for day care. She thoroughly enjoyed each and every visit. The entertainment and staff are amazing and were more than welcoming to her. She was provided with lovely food and drinks on tap. As a family, we are very grateful for the times she spent at Clanfield and for management for accommodating my grandma's needs.

Came here for a couple of weeks respite care. Staff were universally helpful, attentive, friendly and caring. Made many good friends I'll miss now I'm home. Food is all home-made and unbelievably good. Thank you so much for looking after me. If I need respite care again, I'll be back.

My mum went into Clanfield for end of life care. I was with her for the whole time she was there and the conscientious, kind, caring staff looked after both my mum and myself with total and utter compassion and empathy. I could not have wished for a better place for my mum to be during this time. Whilst there I witnessed the highest standard of care and the environment was warm, friendly and more than comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clanfield to anyone looking for a safe, clean environment for their loved ones.

My dad is receiving excellent care at Clanfield. The staff could not be more caring or kind. This is his second stay to reciprocate and recover from a fall and his care has been great across the board, I don’t think we could want more. Everywhere is very clean and comfortable and homely. Although it is not modern this helps my dad feel more at home.

Absolutely lovely staff at Clanfield. Mum was in a difficult period of her life during her time there, with temporary delirium and physical pain from her hips before she arrived there, but she was looked after brilliantly by the team. Always treated with care and respect by all members of staff, encouraged to do her exercises (which was to Mum's benefit) and to spend time with other residents, which was helpful to her mental health. Would thoroughly recommend Clanfield to anyone looking for great care for their loved ones.
