  • 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.

I just can't fault the care at Hempton Field. My mother-in-law's respite care was second to none with so much attention paid to her personal needs and wishes. As soon as she mentions something she likes, they try to provide it. She will now stay on a permanent basis and we know she is in safe, caring,
friendly hands.

I have found all the staff more than helpful with myself and also very caring with my friend.
My friend's eating has been an issue with her but the chefs have always offered her something more suitable. The home is always clean and the dining room reminds me of a quality restaurant!
I do not have
any issues with Hempton Field - I feel it is a first-class nursing home with lovely staff.

Visited my uncle here for the first time today! What a fantastic experience, all the staff were lovely, the food delicious, especially the mushroom risotto, and we were made to feel so welcome. It truly is a home-from-home. I don’t live locally, so cannot visit often, but to know my uncle is so well
cared for gives my mum, his sister, such peace of mind.
Thank you to all the staff; you are doing an amazing job.

My dad was rushed into the home after heart failure had taken a swift turn for the worse. The whole process of getting him on very short notice was made very easy by the head of the home and staff. Whilst he was only there 3 days before he died, the staff all made his stay a comfortable one. I cannot
sing their praises highly enough. The home itself, recently re-furbished, was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen staff and food a delight. Thank you very much for all your efforts.

Hempton Field is a lovely care home with extremely caring, attentive staff. It is a very pleasant environment, with lovely lounges, a dining room and beautiful gardens, including an inner courtyard where residents who are interested are encouraged to nurture the displays they helped create. I am often
aware when visiting of well-organised, fun games and activities which lots of residents enjoy taking part in or watching. There's plenty of opportunity to socialise or just sit with others, but equally, there's no pressure if residents prefer quiet days in their rooms. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff, and the food is excellent, with the chef keen to find out any particular preferences or favourites. As always, it's the people who really make a place, and the staff at Hempton are wonderful. It has a family feel, and is well-run, and I would highly recommend it.

My dad took up residence at Hampton in June 2022. He had recently been widowed and was reluctant to go into care. However, within a couple of months, he was suggesting that I should get a room there! In short, he became more outgoing and was extremely happy, made friends and connections with other residents
and thoroughly enjoyed the company of all staff. Access to my dad was never a problem (Covid permitting), and I was able to visit anytime along with his great-grandson. In his final days, he was looked after with great dignity and care. I cannot praise the staff a Hampton high enough for the love and care that they gave my dad.

I came here for a week's respite following hospitalisation. The atmosphere here was one of peace and rest. The staff were incredible and nothing was too much bother. The food was superb, and without a doubt, I would come again if necessary.

Along with another friend, we visit Hempton twice a month and for the last 2 years meet with them via zoom. We come from the local community church. The staff are all very friendly and caring and assist residents to join us for Bible Club if they want to attend. There is a great homely atmosphere there.

Reply from Zoe Miller, General Manager at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are delighted to be able to invite you back into our home again as bible club is very popular. We certainly do have a homely atmosphere at Hempton Field and we are glad that is your experience.

My stepfather stayed for six weeks respite care whilst his wife was recovering from a knee operation. Lovely setting with beautiful gardens, attentive staff, excellent food and good variety of activities to keep residents stimulated. Well appointed room with good level of cleanliness. Would highly recommend.

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.
