Overall Experience

Mum was admitted for end of life care after a month on a hospital ward. The transfer was seamless and she saw a local GP just after arrival - excellent administration.
Nursing care was of the highest order. Staff had full understanding of her conditions.
What really impressed me was the care shown

to Mum and ourselves by everyone there.
I work in the health service and haven't seen better care, compassion and kindness.

Overall Experience

Mum took some time to settle in but everyone was gentle and reassuring. She needed quite a lot of nursing care and this was delivered professionally, the staff liaised with me where necessary and sought the help of the GP when needed.
It was always easy to call and get reports on mum's health or talk

to mum herself. Visiting is not restricted to all and the electronic entry system ensures security. Mum had less than a year in Church Farm at Field House but she was well looked after, comfortable and never in pain. Thanks to all the staff for their professionalism and compassion.

Overall Experience

My husband was a resident at Field House for the last two years of his life and whilst the decision to place him in a nursing home was a very difficult one for myself and family to make, we all felt that we could not have chosen a better or more caring home for him to reside in.
He was always treated

with the greatest respect and consideration. As a family, we were also made to feel welcome when visiting.

Overall Experience

Church Farm at Field House has been exceptional in its attention to the multiple needs of my helpless wife. They include her immobility and blindness plus Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis and dementia. The management and staff have shown the utmost professionalism throughout in the growing number of

aspects with her deterioration. Every opportunity is taken to accommodate her deficiencies and ensure her comforts are maintained to the highest professional standards.

As a family, we have been impressed by the quality of facilities offered. In addition to the excellent attitudes and values of social care, there is an impressive feeding regime that caters well for all tastes and palates. Many opportunities are taken to investigate the interminable difficulties of disabilities. We know our loved one is in good hands.

My mum spent the last week of her life at Field House, she was cared for with dignity, kindness and compassion. We felt supported by all of the staff who did everything they could to make mum comfortable. The medical care from the nursing staff and doctor at the health centre was also excellent.

Overall Experience

The level of care at this home is unsurpassed. I often wondered how I would feel placing my mother into nursing care but I am fully confident that she is being well cared for and I have never had cause for concern. All the staff are exceptional and work hard whilst keeping the residents' dignity, and

are a credit to the home.

It is always clean and tidy, spotless in fact, with the feel of a home and not a nursing home. The operation of all duties is executed perfectly and although everyone is busy working, nothing is too much trouble should you need assistance. I am very happy that my mother is in the best place possible and wouldn't have it any other way.

We would like to take a moment to thank all of the staff for their kindness, care and dedication in looking after our mother in the last year of her life. There is no doubt that their excellent care had certainly extended her life expectancy and this confirms our sincere belief that everyone has played

a major part in extending the limited quality of her life in one form or another.

Overall Experience

My mum was admitted for end-of-life care. My sister and I, who are both retired nurses, wanted to look after her at home, so it was very difficult and upsetting to accept that we couldn't. However, the staff couldn't have been kinder. They all looked after mum, my sister and I with such tenderness,

compassion and professionalism, that we were able to give her all the love, dignity and peace that she so deserved. We will be forever grateful to every one of them. Mum was only there for 10 days and they were in the middle of building work, but they did everything in their power to ensure it was quiet for her.
I only wish she had been there for longer and had been able to get involved with all the excellent activities on offer.

Overall Experience

We have always been very pleased with mum's care at Church Farm at Field House. She had always been kept extremely comfortable and the care assistants were always compassionate to her needs. Her room was very homely as we were allowed to bring items of furniture and her own nic nacs from home. We found

that the home had a quiet and relaxing atmosphere which suited mum in her condition.

Overall Experience

My mum came to Field House for respite care following a broken hip. During her stay, she also suffered the trauma of my dad's death. The staff at Field House could not have been kinder, both to my mum and the rest of the family. They showed great empathy to us all. There are many truly wonderful

and dedicated staff here who played a huge part in turning my mum from a bereft, frightened old lady into a happy, settled resident. I cannot recommend this care home highly enough and cannot fault the level of care in any way at all.

Overall Experience

We chose Field House for our mum's palliative care as we got a good feeling when we first visited. All the staff made Mum's short period of time there as comfortable as possible and whatever she needed was never too much trouble. The end of life and medical staff particularly were wonderful and very

accommodating to us as family, with our visiting and a kindly ear or shoulder to cry on. They are currently going through a programme of updating and upgrading the facilities, which will only benefit the residents and working conditions for the staff. Their on-call doctors were also wonderful. Big thanks to you all.

My mother who suffered from dementia developed terminal cancer and was admitted to Field House Nursing Home for end of life care from April to September 2016. I was extremely satisfied with all aspects of the care home and felt my mother was well cared for during her stay. After the residents, the staff

are the most important factors and I can't thank the staff enough for looking after my mother with compassion. She also enjoyed the food. Thanks to everyone involved.

Overall Experience

My mother lived at Field House from July 2015 until her death in November 2016. She was delighted to have celebrated her 100th Birthday there in September 2016. Everyone (staff and residents) joined in on my mother's special day, when she received very many congratulations including from The Queen.

Having lived locally, mum had previously visited friends in the home and had jokingly stated that one day she would probably become a resident.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursing home. All the staff (management, nurses, carers and all other departments such as the handyman, laundry and not forgetting the kitchen) did their very best. My mother especially enjoyed chatting to everyone who looked after her. I know she was very grateful to all.

My father used Field House for the first time as respite care for 3 weeks. It was an enjoyable stay. Comfortable, good food, activities daily and a warm feel to the place. Staff were friendly, respectful and courteous at all times to both residents and visitors. Dignity is a priority. Good home cooked

food, special requests were no problem either. We will definitely be using Field House again, and recommend this place for individuals looking for a home environment for their loved one.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Field House Home and Day Care Service since August 2013. She has several, severe physical disabilities and her mental condition has steadily deteriorated. The medical care she has received has cleared up though she has become wheelchair bound. As she is blind and nearly

deaf, mental stimulation is very difficult, even with family. I have no illusions that she represents a considerable challenge to staff but I feel they do their utmost for her, but as she has to be moved with a hoist, she does feel vulnerable. In our presence, the staff are courteous and always caring. There is no doubt they try their utmost but of course, they cannot give one to one care. They have responded to our requests concerning her need for sunlight and changes of scenery. She is well fed and retains her weight.

Though the building is old, it was maintained well and clean. The room was adequate and clean with friendly staff. I visited every day to see my wife and found the staff pleasant, caring and willing to listen to their residents and visitors, they were always helpful. My wife had a pleasant stay there

and she was happy and relaxed. The staff maintained a good professional relationship with the local GP's and they get a good and efficient service from the doctors for the residents.

Overall Experience

My mother, who has recently died, has been a resident at Field House for the past 12 years. I think that speaks for itself!!
She has always been so very well cared for and I have never worried at all about her well being. The wonderful kindness shown from the staff, the fabulous food, alongside the

excellent nursing care have all made her stay so comforting. She has always had her hair done beautifully, nails and hands pampered, and loved the various activities and trips that were organised.
The end of her life was treated with so much dignity, professionalism and kindness which has been a huge comfort for me too. I have only thanks and praise for all of the staff.

My mother had been moved into this care home because she was suffering from dementia (and cancer). The care in this home was excellent and their attention certainly raised the moral of my mother (and also improved her eating habits resulting in increased weight.) Her final moments were handled with

great dignity and understanding helping my sister and I so much.

Overall Experience

My mum only spent a short time at field House (6 weeks) but in that short time she was treated with the utmost Dignity, Respect and friendliness.
The staff at Field House made our mum feel valued and settled at what was a very difficult time for all of us.
They went out of their way to ensure that

every one of mum's care needs were met in a way that was helpful to her, and was treated as an important individual. She developed relationships with all the staff even after such a short while because they were so helpful and relaxed about the care they gave whist maintaining a fantastically high standard of nursing care.
During the last few days of our mum's life I cannot praise the staff highly enough, they ensured that mums last few days were pain free and nothing was too much trouble for them.
As well as looking after our mum, they supported our family (especially our dad) brilliantly, including us in everything and making us feel welcome at any time day or night.
Well done Field House.
