Our first meeting for 3 and a half months, we had a wonderfully special day at Glebefields for our anniversary. The organisation and all the staff were brilliant and we felt very safe.
My husband looked very content and it meant so much to me to see him.
Thank you all again.

My husband has been at Glebefields for over a year and his care and requirements are met. We’ve always found him to be well cared for, well-fed, comfortable, happy, staff are lovely caring people and if we requested anything it’s always been tried to facilitate. We are looking forward to meeting outside
in the garden as we’ve not been able to see him for a long time and hope that happens quite soon.

My dad was a resident for a very short period before his health sadly failed, but during this time, the staff went out of their way to make him feel welcome, cared for and comfortable. The deputy manager showed great empathy for our situation, arranging a swift admission and treated us all with great
respect and compassion. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and the ability to WhatsApp to talk too and see him was very reassuring (no visiting due to the pandemic). Dad was lucky too, to stay in one of the rooms with lovely views over the local countryside.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better place than Glebefields (Drayton) for his respite period. Each and every one of the staff that we met were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The carers were very good. Office staff to nurses and cleaners were most helpful No problems were
too much. Thank you, everyone.

Mum has been at Glebefields since July 2019 and although was very anxious at first, within two days was asking if she could stay forever. She has made lots of friends and is very happy in this lovely caring environment. The staff are all so brilliant and are very genuine with both residents and each
other. It is like being part of an extended family. There is much laughter, and you get a great sense of teamwork. As family members, we feel welcomed and greatly supported as part of the Glebefields community.

My friend has been a resident in Glebefields for five years and has received the very best of personal and nursing care. Nothing is too much trouble for the caring staff. This is 'home' for him - so comfortable. Any special food requirements are always catered for too. The entertainment staff always
come up with a variety of activities. There seems to be even more attention to detail now, with the new manager. As visitors, we are always made to feel welcome. I think this is a very special care home.

My elderly Mother transferred from another home, where she had been a resident for more than five years.
We were immediately impressed with the level of care offered at Glebefields Care Home and by the culture, compassion and concern displayed by all of the staff team.
A very impressive operation

Some concerns following a transfer from care home to hospital. Arrived at hospital in just a thin nightie, no dressing gown on. Not sent with slippers or any footwear. No spare night clothes, toiletries or pads.
Overall, care staff are extremely friendly and do offer good care to my aunt on a day to
day basis. There have been some issues regarding communication especially regarding health issues for my aunt but following discussions with management, this has improved slightly.

Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing Administrator at Barchester Glebefields Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our home, we are pleased that you find our team to be ‘extremely friendly’ and that you’d recommend Glebefields to others. We’re sorry to hear about any communication issues you experienced, we will look into creating ‘hospital bags’ for residents with key items when they are transferred to hospital. Since the arrival of our new Home Manager our communications have been reviewed and improvements made. Thank you again for your review, it is through a feedback process that we can further improve the service we provide. Best wishes to you and your family.

I've been here for approximately 6 weeks and I'm not happy. The staff are all nice and friendly, the food is not always hot when I get it but it tastes okay.
The room is okay. I am bedbound so it would be nice if I have something to look at out of the window.

All staff were caring and compassionate at all times to my family member during their 4 year stay within Glebefields, they not only cared about the residents they cared about their families too they maintained good contact with the family updating them on the residents care and health.
They included

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.

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.
