My friend was staying with you for one week on respite, and I was visiting her. She was most complimentary about the care and the cleanliness and thought the food was exceptional (like a five-star hotel). On the day we visited, my friend had been showered and looked very happy. My husband and I were
treated very kindly and offered tea and cake and also to join in the afternoon fun if we wanted.
My impression was excellent!

My dad came to the home after being in the hospital, and he needed 24/7 care. As a family, we were unable to give him the care he needed. The staff are friendly and care for my dad very well, and keep us informed on how he is doing and any concerns they have. He enjoys the activities at the home and
the trips he’s been on. It gives us, as a family, peace of mind to know he’s getting the care he needs and that he’s in a safe environment.

Visiting my husband, who's having respite care here, I was made welcome for lunch in the beautiful dining room. The tables are very attractive, with white damask clothes and serviettes, cutlery and glassware of a high standard.
The food is tasty and well-presented, and the portions are an ideal size
for the smaller appetites of the elderly. The service was friendly, speedy and efficient.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Overall experience is very good, though some of the staff don't seem to communicate with each other. For example, instructions for meals, especially breakfast, are not carried out; no honey brought with porridge, no spoon brought with egg. Some of planned activities don't happen, especially in the lounge,
as residents stay in their rooms. The food is excellent and the room is comfortable with a superb view. External door to my room is permanently locked, I'm told that is because I'm not the only resident. Occasionally fear that another resident might wander through my room and escape, e.g. while I'm asleep.

Overall a great respite stay that my mother really enjoyed. Only negative we were told on collection that Mum did not use incontinence pants during her stay which left us confused. In her suitcase, she had an incontinence pant brand we did not use and was also incontinent as before on returning home.

As my father's previous carer, I am very impressed with how the staff care for him as he is still very lucid at 96 years old and has a lot of dignity. But slowly especially these last few months, now he is physically deteriorating. He could not be in a better place!

The home is extremely well-appointed and the cleanliness is a high standard. The staff are lovely, very patient and friendly. Any complaints are dealt with swiftly and appropriately. I like the way the dining tables are always set properly and the food is excellent-suitable for a wide range of (smaller)
appetites. The staff are very attentive and make an effort to get to know the residents so that they can quickly identify when something is wrong and seek medical attention.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Barchester Glebefields 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.809 for Barchester Glebefields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (408 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 487 Ratings = 4.809

  • 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 Glebefields Care Home is based on 42 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 42 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.

In Sep 2021 I came to the UK, pursuing my higher studies in MSc Project Management from Salford University, Manchester. Earlier this I worked in an Investment Banking Sector as an Assistant Manager handling 21 resources under me. I do carry 7 years of experience with me in the Banking Sector and in the last 2 years, I was managing resources to perform their work effectively and efficiently.
I am very hardworking, learn and understand things quickly and get adapted to any situation.


I am very friendly and I love to meet new people. This would be the reason, I am here at Glebefields meeting new people and getting to know them. I joined Glebefields on 29th March 2021. In these 3 months, I have learnt so many things about caring and also how to keep our people happy. I am proud to say that I am a part of this wonderful team and I love working at Glebefields Care Home, Banbury.
