My mother was admitted on 24/09/2024 and died on 26/09/2024 (end-of-life care).
On admission, every member of staff introduced themselves and nothing was too much trouble.
Within that short time, my mother was treated with dignity and respect. On her last day we were also treated accordingly and what
we needed to do next was carefully explained.

Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased that your mother was looked after well.

My mother wasn't very long at Northlands, she sadly died in September, she was 96 years old, her needs were very demanding but Mum always received good care especially her end-of-life care, I can't thank one staff member in particular enough for the dedicated care she gave to Mum towards the end and
the emotional support she gave to me. The communication was excellent from Northlands care staff who always kept me up to date about her condition or any incidents. I shall miss visiting Northlands, I was always received warmly despite their busy schedules.

Reply from Nicola Richards, Managing Director at Northfield Nursing Home

Many thanks for your warm words. It means a lot getting this feedback and the recognition you gave for the good care your late Mum received. I will pass your kind comments to the staff at the home.

My mother-in-law moved to Northfield Nursing Home for the last four weeks of her life. The staff on floor two looked after her with love, great care and dignity.
They were always attentive to all her needs.
When we visited, they were always cheerful, very helpful, pleasant and showed great compassion
to all our family.
My mother-in-law, who was confined to bed, with no mental capacity, always looked very clean, comfortable and at peace.
We would like to thank everyone, including reception, housekeeping and catering for everything they did for us.

Reply from The Administrator - Leanne Wright at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind review, the staff here at Northfield always take pleasure in knowing that their efforts are recognised and appreciated.

The care home provides a safe and professional care for its residents. The food is really good. The staff are caring and friendly. The admin staff are excellent, very organised and helpful. The only thing that could be improved is the amount of activities for the residents. Maybe staff could interact
with residents more by playing games or reminiscing more.

Reply from Annette Grayson, Administrator at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. We endeavour to maintain a professional environment at all times which you have kindly noted. We also appreciate your feedback on all our other facilities at Northfield which will undoubtedly be taken on board and if possible, improvements made.

There is only 1 word to describe my experience at Northfield is unbelievable. THe staff are amazing, they treated my with utmost dignity and kindness. My time here was pleasurable, the staff communicated politely and with a sense of humour. The food was the best I've tasted in years. The rooms were
extremely comfortable and they are kept clean.
I will recommend Northfield to my family and friends.

My husband spent eight weeks in the home when he was having an assessment. The home and the staff were warm and welcoming. The cleanliness and food were excellent. The staff were very helpful and caring and built a good rapport with my husband. If the home had been nearer our home we would have been
really happy for him to remain there long term. Thanks to all the staff for the very good care they gave him.

I cannot express how wonderful the care my mum received at Northfield in her last two months was. She was transferred from hospital and the difference in atmosphere was immediately noticeable. The quality of care exceeded all the family’s expectations and we will be eternally grateful to all the staff
who cared for her so beautifully. She was really comfortable and happy in her surroundings and we could not be more pleased and grateful. Northfield is a bright and happy place, with staff who always went above and beyond to care for our mum. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

What a wonderful review. Our staff will be over the moon with your delightful comments. It is so pleasing to hear that as a family you felt that your mum was safe and secure in our care. We try so hard to make the environment welcoming for both residents and visitors. This review suggests we have achieved this. Thank you again.

My mum very sadly passed away in her sleep last month. Everyone at Northfield was caring, supportive and respectful at our extremely difficult time. Mum was treated with love and compassion and laid out 'at peace'. We were also 'walked' through our next steps in the most supportive and caring manner.
Thank you so much to all your wonderful staff!

Your wonderful comments will be passed onto all departments at Northfield. We are overwhelmed by your gratitude towards the staff caring for your mum, but also the staff working in the home who are not directly involved in the care of our residents.

Our family are very happy with the care Mum is receiving in Northfield House. The home is well-run and the staff are very kind and caring. Our only slight concern relates to the furniture layout in Mum's room. The room itself is fine, but the current layout means that Mum is unable to move freely in
her powerchair, or gain access to the view from her window. We feel that the bed and furniture could be repositioned into a more user-friendly layout. Overall, we feel that Northfield is very good and we pass on our thanks to the staff and management.

Reply from Annette Grayson, Administrator at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your positive comments regarding our staff and the care offered to your mum. We are always open to suggestions when it comes to improving the lives of our residents and would be happy to discuss any issues which may impact on their well-being.

My mum stayed at Northfield for a respite period, the staff are lovely and very caring. I would absolutely recommend Northfield. The rooms are lovely and clean and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I was very apprehensive about putting my Mum in a nursing home, even for a short period but
my worries were quickly gone. The staff work tirelessly and are a credit to Northfield. Thank you so much.

Mum told us that she felt safe in her room and that she was well looked after. We cannot praise everyone at Northfield Nursing Home enough, you helped us so much during a very difficult time in our life. You protected Mum during the Covid years. When we visited everyone made us feel welcome, you always
had time to discuss how Mum was doing and when we left we knew that she was in good hands.

Northfield Nursing Home must be one of the best in Sheffield. It is well-managed, clean, welcoming and maintains very high standards of care. The nursing team on the first floor were professional, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. The care given to a frail elderly lady with dementia was exemplary. Every
detail was attended to, including access to drinks, applying face cream, hair brushing and comfort. There was a lovely rapport between patients and staff who we cannot thank enough.

Reply from Annette Grayson, Administrator at Northfield Nursing Home

We are all absolutely astounded by your five-star review and would like to say a huge thank you to the family of this lady. This will mean so much to the staff at Northfield knowing that they have made such a positive impact on this lady's life and also the family's. This will be a great tonic to staff knowing that their work has been recognised in such a positive manner.

Mum has been a resident at Northfield Nursing Home since January. Due to the many restrictions of the pandemic, we did not have the chance to view the home for ourselves and were initially unable to visit her. We have always been able to speak to her over the phone and we continue to be very grateful
to all the staff for their support and care in these difficult times. Since the lifting of restrictions, we now visit mum in the Pod and we are very happy to see that she always looks clean and well cared for and is very settled there. We are grateful to the staff for making her hair and nails look so lovely. Mum has told us how much she enjoys the activities, particularly making cards and taking part in games of bingo. She has had the opportunity to sit outside in the lovely garden and chat with other residents. If we have any questions or need any help, we always find the staff to be very polite and helpful. We would like to thank all the staff for their continued care and support.

Reply from Helen Gresham, Registered Manager at Northfield Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback and for your wonderful review. Your words really reflect how hard the staff have worked, and continue to work throughout this challenging time. I will make sure this is communicated back to the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Northfield Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.667 for Northfield Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 183 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 Northfield Nursing Home is based on 16 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
