We hit the jackpot when we found this nursing home for Dad following a significant stroke which left him with very high-level nursing and care needs which meant he couldn’t be cared for at home.
The staff have absolute unconditional positive regard and real love for all residents - who they call the
Church Farm family.
Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are truly amazing.

Church Farm is an amazing home from home. I decided to move my father as his dementia was getting worse and the care home he was in didn’t meet his needs any more. The Manager is fantastic. He keeps you up-to-date with everything. After my father had been there for just a few weeks my mother joined
him. Although she doesn’t really need nursing care, can be quite challenging. But she loves it they all make a fuss of her. What is obvious is that every member of the team are so loving and caring as if it was their own mum and dad.

Good meals, well cooked and tasty, could be a bit more variety. Mum is very well cared for by permanent staff. There do seem to be more activities in her lounge now and more participation from Mum is encouraged. All residents are treated equally whatever their capabilities. There is a nice relaxing
feel to the home environment with effort made to make the lounges feel like 'home'. Pets are encouraged for visits. All in all, a very good home with caring staff.

Church Farm at Field House really had their work cut out when my dear old Mum was staying and they handled everything with the utmost of compassion, care, and exceptional professionalism, one could not ask for more. We, all in my family, cannot praise all the staff enough and we forward our sincere
thanks. We wish all the very best of luck and a bright and successful future.

My father-in-law was only in Church Farm for a short time before he passes away. He was transferred there on palliative care from hospital. In this short time, my father-in-law was looked after extremely well. He was looked after and cared for beyond our expectations. On his first day there, they had
arranged the hairdresser to make a special visit to have him groomed. He looked the best he had looked for a very long time.

I came to visit my mother (I live in Australia). On arriving for my first visit not knowing what to expect, I was greeted by the most amazing staff. They are the most unbelievably helpful, caring, attentive people, I have ever met. They attended to my mother's needs as required. My mum's room was just
as I hoped, the food, cleanliness etc was just superb every time I came. You are all angels. Thank you.

Reply from Helen Walton, Operations Director at Church Farm Nursing Home

Church Farm is a friendly, caring and supportive nursing home. Residents are cared for with dignity and encouraged to participate in relevant activities. It is reassuring to know my mum is safe and well cared for as POA all aspects of her care are discussed with me.

Mother seems to be very well looked after.
The vast majority of the staff are very patient with her, despite her being quite aggressive some of the time.
I have not eaten any meals but the homemade cakes are delicious.
In her previous care home she lost weight, in Church Farm she has put on weight
- speaks volumes for the care.

My husband has dementia and that is why we chose Church Farm Nursing Home. The food is of good quality and cooked on the premises. It always looks nicely presented. The staff are all very friendly and caring and welcome me when I visit my husband.

Reply from Lucy Atkinson, Director at Church Farm Nursing Home

Church Farm provide just a few planned activities because we focus very much on ensuring that the people who live with us are enabled and supported to participate in a meaningful occupation that is relevant to them, their life history and also includes domestic aspects of life such as washing up, sweeping, gardening and other household activity. We are confident that these are suited for people living with dementia as they are familiar and do not challenge people to achieve an outcome. In addition, we enjoy music, walks in the gardens and some craft activities.

My mum lived in Church Farm for the last two years of her life.
From the very first day, we knew she was in the right place.
The staff were welcoming and kind to all of us and the atmosphere was so homely and comfortable.
Mum settled in like a bird in a nest, she obviously felt loved and cared for.
I
never saw her looking lost or afraid.
As Mum's condition worsened her care was increased sensitively.
It was a huge comfort to myself and my sisters to see Mum so well looked after from her first day to her last.

My sisters and I felt that our mother could not have been in a better place for her final few months. We always felt welcome and her care was excellent in every respect. Church Farm Nursing Home has a very positive approach to all the residents and I personally found it an uplifting experience on each

I can't thank the staff enough for the outstanding care my mother receives at Church Farm. She is always treated with dignity, compassion and affection. When I visit I am always made welcome and kept well-informed about my mother's condition. The support has been invaluable at this difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Church Farm Nursing 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.757 for Church Farm Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.757

  • 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 Church Farm Nursing Home is based on 19 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
