I try to visit my friend at least every ten days or two weeks. The care she is receiving, in my opinion, is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble to make her happy. The staff are so welcoming when I arrive. They look after my friend so well, caring in every way. On her birthday they gave her a
lovely party with a buffet tea and beautiful cake. We had music and managed to get some residents, if they wished, up to dance with us.
I would totally recommend Barchester Glebefields Care Home to any person looking for a home for a family member or friend.

I have visited my mother, who is staying here, twice now and both times I was very impressed with the care home and the kind and professional way that you are dealing with my mother.
However, my mum said that she was left for 20 minutes yesterday sitting on the commode. This made her cry! I know you
are busy, but 20 minutes is too long. Everything else is good!

Reply from Nisha Shaji, general manager at Barchester Glebefields Care Home

Thank you for the feedback, Tim, we apologise for the experience that Mum had to have, we have taken onboard the concern and have implemented measures in place accordingly so Mum could have a better stay with us. We have a robust system in place for supervising and supporting the resident as per their ability to improve their independence.

From my very first arrival, I have received the best care and attention, nothing has been too much trouble-all done with kindness and consideration. There is plenty to do if you wish, although I preferred to stay put, being rather a loner, I enjoy scrabble on Thursdays. I have a room with views out
to a raised small garden and the birds and squirrels keep me very amused.

My mum came to Glebefields Care Home for respite care in May 2022 after some months in the hospital following my dad's unexpected and sudden death. This is now her permanent home and I can't be grateful enough for the level of services and care she consistently receives. The staff do everything to make
her comfortable, respect her dignity, and engage her in activities, special thanks for posting photos of the art mum makes each week! It's a delight to come to Glebefields, set in beautiful countryside and with the quality of a boutique hotel since its refurbishment. The hospitality is excellent and how visitors are welcomed really impacts positively on mum's life. I'm so relieved to know she is held in such calm, loving hands and that she refers to everyone at Glebefields as her friends. Thank you!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mother stayed in Glebefields for three weeks for respite care. The staff and facilities were excellent. The food was of high quality, and staff were available to change the menu and times to suit my mother's dietary requirements and routines. Many of the residents are bed-bound, so there was limited
opportunity for interaction, but the activities manager tried hard to engage my mother with a diverse programme, including flower arranging, pottery, exercise and outdoor visits. There are less staff available at weekends, which made the administration of dropping off/picking up more difficult on these days, but visiting was not a problem.

Reply from Nisha Shaji, General Manager at Barchester Glebefields Care Home

Thank you, Beverley, for the kind feedback. We have taken the comments on board and will review the staffing levels over the weekends. It was a pleasure to look after mum during her stay with us.

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.

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.
