Although my mum wasn't at Atfield House for long, the staff were extremely kind, professional and always put my mum's needs first. They explained everything to us in a way we were able to understand at this very difficult time, nothing was too much trouble. As a family, we feel that they made my mum's
last few weeks comfortable, and they treated my mum like their own. Thank you.

Lovely caring staff. Granny is very happy here. Staff make us feel welcome and appear happy and cheerful. I love the fact I can speak to Granny when I ring the home. One thing to recommend would be online meetings/zoom/facetime? if possible. We looked at many care homes and are very satisfied that this
one is the best for granny.

Our cousin was admitted to Atfield House, initially for respite care, followed, after two months, by full-time care.
From the very first day of admission, Atfield House has provided respectful and safe primary care and support for our cousin, whilst also ensuring that our family were warmly welcomed
by all staff, and kept informed of her condition on a regular basis. Additionally, we were encouraged to communicate with the care home as often as we wished. At all times our calls have been dealt with promptly and with a friendly approach.
The team at Atfield House have always informed the family of any changes to our cousin's condition and provided reassurance at all times.
As we live some distance away from London, this approach has always been very reassuring for the family.
Our cousin is supported 24/7 by the care home staff and has all her medical and social needs met.
We have no hesitation in recommending Atfield House to any family in a similar situation.

Mum became unable to look after herself a couple of years ago and so the difficult task of considering where she should live began. Fortunately, we discovered Atfield House locally to where I live and after an initial trial period, Mum has lived there ever since. She lived alone for over 20 years but
the home has been exceptional in including her with staff and other residents. She loves the staff without exception, she loves the food she is provided with and has made several very good friends.
During the current COVID-19 lockdown period the home has continued to care in every possible way. We were allowed our first visit in 3 months this week, and the home's organisation of this is further proof of the exceptional skills and care the staff and management provide. I am so grateful to have found, in my opinion, the perfect home for Mum, thank you Atfield House!

Reply from Elaine Robson, General Manager at Barchester Atfield House Care Home

Thank you for your comments. Mum has settled in so well living here, and we know she is very happy. She is a pleasure to care for. She really enjoyed the visit with you the other day. We made sure she got her bag of goodies that you left for her too.

I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of care and facilities afforded by the staff and facilities at Atfield House. Four years ago they cared for my father who was suffering from dementia for a period of over a year. He couldn't have been better looked after. My mother, too, has been an Atfield
resident since February 2018 and has received a similar quality of care. Since the start of the lockdown, with the widespread anxiety of COVID-19 in care homes nationally, I and my family have been reassured by the knowledge that she is in the best possible hands. The professionalism and dedication of the staff during this fraught period has been heartwarming and awe-inspiring. We are hugely appreciative of them.

Reply from Elaine Robson, General Manager at Barchester Atfield House Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We love having mum here with us. Your continued support is very appreciated as were the chocolate we received - a really nice treat for everyone.

My aunt spent the last month of her life here, having been transferred from Clayponds Hospital. Because of Covid-19 it was not possible to visit her but I phoned regularly and every time I was greeted very helpfully and spoke to someone who was fully informed about my aunt’s health. On her last day
I was allowed to visit and spend my aunt’s last moments with her. That was the first time I saw inside the home and was so impressed! Beautiful rooms, immaculately clean and, most importantly, every member of staff I met was so very caring. Very happy that my aunt ended her life here and very grateful to all the staff.

My Mum had two happy years at Atfield House and passed away peacefully in June 2019.
Staff are hardworking, caring, kind, friendly and professional. They treated Mum with dignity, respect and politeness, always sensitive to her individual needs. Her room was comfortable with an ensuite. Mum felt safe
and I had peace of mind. I was consulted on changing health issues and care plan, contacted immediately if necessary. Nurses and carers were supportive, helpful and understanding. GP visits, physiotherapist twice weekly, podiatrist regularly. The Manager is helpful and approachable with an open door policy, concerns and problems dealt with promptly. Facilities are clean, tidy and well kept, dining room with good menus, looking out onto a lovely garden. Hairdressing salon on site. Daily activities, musical and seasonal events during the year. Atfield House offers a welcoming happy 'home from home' with excellent quality care, the only place I trusted to care for my dear Mum. I am so grateful for all they did.

I went to see Atfield House on an open day; purely by chance. I was very pleased I went and impressed by the appearance and decor throughout. The management has been very helpful and supportive throughout. My mother is a resident there, and I believe they have looked after her well.

Lovely facility, bright, clean and welcoming. The staff were lovely - friendly, patient and caring. Meals were very nice with multiple choice.
Really liked the choice of the formal dining room which overlooked beautiful gardens.
The drop-in cafe was a great place to sit and read the paper in quiet,
tasteful surroundings - a lovely space to entertain visitors.

Excellent. My mother has been in 8 different homes for respite and 1 permanent care. She is very happy here and I have peace of mind, especially when I am away knowing that she is happy, well fed and cared for. The staff are well trained, loving and encouraging. Everyone works as a team including management.
Residents have access to a TV room, a lounge/dining area with weekly entertainment and a quiet room. The meals are freshly cooked, varied quality menus with options. The Manager has an open door policy and encourages relatives/residents to approach her as soon as they have an issue so that she can investigate and action immediately rather than wait until problems escalate resulting in disgruntled residents and relatives which sadly has a negative effect on others. Our friends are very impressed with the high quality of staff and meals and comment that the residents look happy and well cared for in this Home. They have also noticed a positive change in my mother in this Home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Barchester Atfield House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 66 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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 4.753 for Barchester Atfield House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (595 Excellents x 5) + (167 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 774 Ratings = 4.753

  • 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 Atfield House Care Home is based on 66 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 66 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.
