  • Barchester Hempton Field Care Home, Chinnor
Overlooking the stunning farmland of the Chiltern Hills, this impeccably landscaped former doctor's house is situated a short distance from the centre of Chinnor. The home offers nursing, respite, and palliative care.

The majority of bedrooms are en-suite, set across two floors which foster a truly homely atmosphere. With each room tastefully decorated and the grounds maintained to the highest standards, Hempton Field has as much personality as its residents - you can be proud to call it home.

The home has two communal lounges and a well-appointed dining room, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. The house is situated on half an acre of grounds, where you can relax in the gorgeous sheltered courtyard, surrounded by flower beds and a pond. The gazebo area has views of the Chiltern Hills and is perfect for outdoor socialising.

Chefs prepare meals on-site, offering residents a daily menu with tasty, nutritious choices. Meals can be taken in the dining room or in residents' own bedrooms as preferred. Special diets will be catered for.

Activities staff oversee a busy schedule of events. Residents are encouraged to participate and to help plan these events, to ensure there is something for everyone. Participation is entirely optional, however. There are daily activities in the home, as well as frequent excursions outside it and big celebrations throughout the year.

All staff very cheerful, friendly and helpful. Food excellent and the chefs cover individual needs. The only downside was the lack of maintenance and room being too hot.

Reply from Jocelyn Walang, General Manager at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

My mother's care has been exemplary since she became a resident in April 2024. She is even taking part in the many activities the home provides, such as carpet bowls, yoga, boxing and dominoes! At 100 years old there is still something new to experience.

Reply from Jocelyn Walang, General Manager at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

Thank you very much for taking time to write such a lovely review, I am so pleased to hear that you recognise the exemplary care your Mum receives and enjoys various activities in the home. I will certainly pass this comment to rest of the team.

Mum has lived here for two months now and in her own words, she says 'you could not better this place and I do not want for anything!'
All the staff we have come into contact with, so far, from all departments - reception/admin/management/caring/catering have a genuine interest in Mum's welfare which
is obvious to see.
Overall, there is a calm and welcoming atmosphere at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home and we know we made the right choice in choosing this home for Mum.

Mum has been happy, comfortable and content in Barchester Hempton Field Care Home despite vowing she'd never go into a home. Her frailty has necessitated the move. All the staff have been so kind and considerate to her and made a difficult time as pleasant as it can be.

The staff are always lovely with my father. I do sometimes wish they were a bit more insistent on helping, particularly regarding his personal hygiene but I do appreciate he can be difficult and resistant to help. It's good to see he's happy there and says he's well cared for. The food is excellent
(we've had lunch there) and there is certainly plenty of it. He is encouraged to join in the activities but often prefers to stay in his room. The home is attractive, well-maintained and clean, although my father's bathroom is a challenge and often smells unpleasant!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Barchester Hempton Field 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.776 for Barchester Hempton Field Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 303 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 Hempton Field Care Home is based on 26 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 26 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.
