I was very, very impressed by the standards which were extremely high in Field House.
A L (Wife of Resident)
Activities were always organised every day and Mum spent a very happy, comfortable three years there
Erica D (Daughter of Resident)
The home is open to admissions. The home is open to everyone. There’s no need for your loved one to have Bupa health insurance. We’re a ten-minute walk into the village-like centre of Harpenden. Within an easy drive are Whipsnade Zoo, Batford Springs Nature Reserve and Stockwood Discovery Centre, and there are several pay-and-play golf clubs within five miles.
Parking permits available from the receptionist for the duration of visits at the home.
Field House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10, based on 14 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Field House Care Home has 109 reviews.

The staff were exceptional: kind, compassionate, encouraging and professional, in all cases, especially the nurses, activity coordinators and catering staff. My wife benefitted greatly in Field House so accelerating her healing, for which we are very thankful.
Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Field House Care Home
Thank you for your kind words. It is brilliant to hear that your wife enjoyed her stay with us at Field House Care Home and that she was able to rest and recover during her stay. It is lovely to hear that you were so impressed with the high standards of care provided, the range of activities and the comfortable and homely atmosphere at Field House Care Home. It is always wonderful to hear words like "Kind" and "Compassionate" being used to describe our staff. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Field House Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.654 for Field House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.654
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 Field House Care Home is based on 14 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 14 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.
