My husband was admitted during the national lockdown in April 2020. I have never been inside the care home but have viewed the photos and videos that the staff share on social media. I've also spoken with the staff about his care. He seems as well and happy as his condition allows. He has Alzheimer's
and I'm satisfied with the care he receives. The home looks clean, bright and pleasant, and residents look happy.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Thank you for your kind words and we would like to thank you for all the very kind gifts you have sent to the staff to keep us going, the gifts you sent to the activities and your relative have been appreciated by many here at the home. Many thanks.

It was good to hear that my sister remains cheerful and happy especially as we've had no direct contact with her since the beginning of the pandemic.
The staff are always obliging and informative to any questions asked.
I hope you all stay healthy and safe and thank you from all of her family.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Thank you for your very kind words and we understand how difficult it has been this year for all the relatives and have tried to stay in touch in various ways. We will do our very best to continue to look after your sister to the best of our ability.

We moved my mother to Fieldhead Court from another care home and we just wish we had known about them sooner. We can’t thank them enough for the care they gave to my mother. Their kindness and compassion were second to none and we will be forever grateful to them.

Reply from Kath Tanner, Manager at Fieldhead Court

Hi Martyn,
We appreciate your review and your very kind words, your mum was a pleasure to look after and the staff enjoyed looking after her. We appreciate the fact that you selected our home for your mum to live in.
Many thanks

Two sublects that could be improved upon;
1, The quality and choice of meals
2, Shortage of staff at weekends (care assistants)
Lastly; lack of communication between caring staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mum had a recent short stay at Fieldhead Court while waiting to go to rehab to strengthen her walking after a stay in hospital.
The staff here are all fabulous and make a real effort to make the residents feel safe and comfortable. There are activities most afternoons in the lounges and all residents
are encouraged to join in but never pressured.
The food always looked appetising and always a choice was offered, there is a consistent flow of hot and cold drinks offered throughout the day and not just at meal times.
All of the staff were approachable and greeted all visitors with a smile and were happy to help with any queries made, if they didn't know they would find out for you.
The fact that the majority of the staff have worked there for several years is a testimony to how well the place is run by the home management.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Fieldhead Court for a short or long stay and if it was closer to home this would be my choice for Mum to stay for respite.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.571)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.571) out of 10 for Fieldhead Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.571 for Fieldhead Court is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.571

  • 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 Fieldhead Court is based on 14 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 14 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.
