Our friend & neighbour unwell and needed urgently to be admitted to a local care home. We found Tegfield House very helpful and very sympathetic, caring and on the community services advice our very elderly friend was admitted. We have visited her regularly over the past four months and she has blossomed under the care received. Food is exceptional, and well presented, room always clean and tidy, staff always caring to residents and welcoming to visitors. It is always a pleasure to enter Tegfield House.

My relative has been in Tegfield House since November, I have found the level of care very good and although my relative is not a particularly social person he has fitted in well. His health issues have been cared for in a very kind and caring way. He has taken a while to settle and needs reassurance constantly which I feel has been provided.

Staff are warm friendly and caring. Tegfield House is homely, clean, warm and easy to navigate. There is always some type of activity going on. Tegfield always smells of home cooked food or cleaning products.

December at Tegfield House was a special month. The care coordinator made each day on the run-up to Christmas special for all residents. Day trips to see Christmas lights and markets, a visit from a donkey! (Amazing) All carers were fantastic over the festive period making everyone feel welcome (visitors).

I was able to visit my mother in December - I live overseas - so not something I'm able to do often. Mum and I have been able to keep in touch via video chats, an enormous plus for us. Mum's hearing and sight are not great, but with help from the activities staff we have managed to communicate throughout the year. During my visit I was able to have lunch with Mum! Can't beat the fish and chips on Friday! Mum is not one to hold back on complaints, especially where food is concerned - I have heard none! All members of staff I saw interacted with all the patients - Mum has a sweet relationship with some in particular that I was fortunate to witness! It is very reassuring to know Mum is looked after so well in a warm and friendly environment. I'm aware Mum has her own routine, that she does not like to change, but she is gently encouraged to participate in all the activities! Thank you all for looking after Mum.

My late mother was a resident in Tegfield House for approximately 2.5 years (she sadly died December 2023). I have nothing but praise for the care she received during her final years. Tegfield is a warm and friendly home where visitors and family are always made welcome. There are so many activities arranged for the residents along with trips out and musical events arranged in-house. I shall always be grateful for the kindness and care shown to my mother and myself along with the other residents and their families.

Mum has been at Tegfield House for nearly seven years and is very settled and contented. She is very well cared for. The staff are all helpful and caring. I value regular online chats with Mum, facilitated by the activities coordinator, as well as in-person visits. There are lots of activities for residents as well as great food and personal care.

My aunt who has been a resident at Tegfield for over 12 years celebrated her 103rd birthday on April 23rd. Well Tegfield House provided wonderful day of celebrations for her. We arrived at 10:30 to warm welcome. A singer serenaded us for an hour. A lovely lunch with my aunt's choice of menu and a beautiful cake, well done to all the staff. A thoughtful present and lots of balloons. We have no worries about my aunt's care at Tegfield. If all homes were as good there would be no problems in the care sector.

I made contact with Tegfield House with a view for respite care. However my husband's condition worsened and I developed a painful back. On short notice, I was admitted to hospital and very pleased they could admit him long-term. I could not visit for several weeks so pleased to find him well settled and staff very caring. I now visit and have lunch and I am impressed with the standard of food and to see him eating well. I notice how caring the staff are to all residents with different needs. I am impressed by the activities he has been given help him.

My mother arrived at Tegfield House nearly two years ago, new to a care home, having lived independently until she was 95 years old. She was welcomed into a warm, friendly, homely environment and adjusted with time. The carers are sympathetic, empathetic and are generally keen to ensure the residents are happy and settled in their environment. The food is excellent, full of nutritious goodness. There are activities offered to encourage socialisation within the home which is lovely to see. The carers are polite and well-mannered and show respect to their residents. I would thoroughly recommend this home to those considering a care home.

Mum has been at Tegfield House for about three months now and has settled in very well. The staff are all very friendly, caring and helpful and Mum enjoys being involved in the many and varied activities that are laid on for the residents. A lovely home with a lovely, homely feel! It is good to know that Mum is being so well cared for.

The staff are very caring and compassionate as well as being reassuringly professional and I feel confident that Mum is being very well looked after and is happy at Tegfield House. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very friendly and caring. I have no worries leaving my husband there and he is very happy.

My mother has been extremely well looked after since moving into the home in October 2023. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff.

Since August 2023, when my wife was admitted to Tegfield House, she has been treated with the utmost kindness. The homely atmosphere is apparent the moment you enter Tegfield.

My mum is very happy and content since she moved into Tegfield House. The care staff are excellent, very friendly and approachable and look after my mother's needs very well. As Tegfield House is a small care home, everyone knows everyone else well and this builds friendships and trust between both staff and residents. It is always enjoyable to visit, with various activities organised. We always feel welcome to visit at anytime. The home is spotlessly clean with a very good cook in the kitchen!

The staff are always welcoming and friendly. There has been re-decoration of the public rooms plus new chairs and settees in the lounge which look very smart, I think the temperature is right for the winter months whilst the terrace outside is a delight in the warmer weather. The home is always spotlessly clean and tidy too.

My wife has severe Alzheimer's and is incontinent, so needs special care. I believe that the staff are very patient with her, as they are with all the residents. I have told the manager that I do not think that the TV programmes selected in the lounge are generally suitable for older residents, that is my only complaint. I like the manager's open door policy.

Tegfield House has always provided good care in a friendly and relaxed environment. My aunt flourished there despite her dementia, enjoying the activities and the kindness of the staff. Tegfield also provided excellent end-of-life care avoiding the unnecessary stress of a final hospital visit and she was able to experience a dignified and peaceful end in familiar surroundings.

I used to be a medical social worker in the hospital and then a social worker in the community looking after older people. I have recommended this home to patients and their families since the mid 70's because I have always been so impressed by the staff and the care received by residents. My former German teacher is very happy here and I feel welcome when I visit.
