"This is my first visit inside the home due to Covid restrictions. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The home was very clean and welcoming and had a caring and happy atmosphere. The staff knew mum very well."

"Mum has been a resident at Barchester Bloomfield Care Home for the last 8 years. When she was admitted she came in receiving palliative care and now 8 years on and at the age of 99 she is doing well, can not fault the care she has had. Brilliant staff always there to help, great activities which mum always joined in when she could. All in all a great place for your loved ones to stay."

"My mother is bipolar so I know she is tricky to deal with. She has been looked after well. The staff are very friendly each time I visit and I know it has been tricky during all the lockdown period we have had. It's great to be able to visit mum again."

E Dcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.17 out of 5

"Mum has been in Bloomfield for nearly two weeks as part of a month of respite care. It's a big change after 85 years of life doing things her own way. Right from our very first meeting with the care home staff their sole interest has been how they can accommodate mum and how they can best meet her needs. They have listened to her and not on what they hear. Excellent."

P Hcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.58 out of 5

"The staff, particularly my mother's nurse, are lovely and very helpful. Unfortunately, my mother doesn't want to get out of bed, although she can, so misses out on the activities and other resident friendships that would benefit her. Home is always clean - we just wish mum would leave her room to join others for a chat or an activity!"

"A lovely care home, lovely carers on mums unit. Sometimes difficult to get through on the telephone even with the new mobile. Mum would like more cups of tea please, as she has not been able to use the cafe in reception due to Covid. I hope I can start using it soon with her. Unfair to keep the door to reception/cafe locked, just because some residents wander."

"My brother came here for end of life care, and in my opinion, the care provided has been outstanding. He has sadly passed away, but while he was here, all of the staff I came in contact with showed professionalism, dedication and compassion that was matched with the love they poured into my brothers care. Thank you so much for all you did for him."

"My father was admitted to Bloomfield in Paulton because he was exhausted from living at home. He looked so unwell I fully expected him to pass away within the next two weeks. Because of the care he was given, he managed to live an extra five months. We are all very grateful for this extra time with Dad."

"Initially, I was pleased with the care being shown to my husband but increasingly I am becoming concerned for him. Although he is on a soft diet and the food supplied to him is blended, it is mainly minced beef which smells disgusting and which he refuses to eat. He did get soup, which now is not offered and ice cream, which to is never on his tray. I have found him during the day to be laid on his back with the curtains pulled for no reason. Also, his bedside trolley is out of reach even if he wanted a drink. And today his water jug was completely empty, his bed had his tissues - two boxes - in bed with him plus several things from his trolley as though he was trying to get water. He can no longer speak. The staff I have seen are very friendly but something is not right and I am going to speak to management."

Carole Fcarehome.co.uk rating: 3.1 out of 5

"Overall, very impressed with the initial welcome made by the staff at the home. My mother has improved enormously since her release from the hospital having spent 3 months there. Her room is very comfortable and meets all her needs. I think the recreational facilities are helpful and stimulating in maintaining the resident's mental wellbeing."

I am more than pleased. In fact, when asked, I do recommend Blooomfield to other people as it is fab."

Sally Ccarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"I have been in and out of your home for many years visiting different residents and have always found the staff helpful and friendly. Everything is always clean and the food very good. The facilities such as hairdressing and other activities are good and some of the staff have been there a long time which means a happy workplace. It seems a very well run home."

Sylvia Acarehome.co.uk rating: 4.36 out of 5

"My mother had four weeks respite at Bloomfield. The care centre is more like a four-star hotel. The rooms were kept very clean and tidy. The food menu was very good and if required the cook would prepare what Mum wanted if possible. The activities were very good with good entertainment for the elderly. All the staff were very good and treated Mum with dignity and care required. Anyone visiting would be offered refreshments. All in all a very good environment."

Stephen Wcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.82 out of 5

"I have checked out many care homes locally over recent months and some of them you would have thought were owned and operated by 'The Adams Family'. But this home, inspected on an open day, set in a very quiet central spot has the perfect ambience with a very modern atmosphere throughout. From its bright reception with free Wi-Fi and refreshments, main offices, hair salon, choice of lounges, dining room, whirlpool bathroom and its numerous en-suite bedrooms all appear exceptionally clean. My mother (92) became resident last month and we find that all the staff work with pride and passion to provide independence, dignity and choice for all in their care to a 5 star standard. Indeed this home is like a Rolls-Royce that not only looks nice but runs silky smooth and quiet. Being managed to perfection in order to give your loved one the best possible care."

Malcolm Fcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"My Mum has been a resident at Bloomfield for over 4 years and she is very happy there. We have found the care very good, a varied range of daily activities keeps the residents active.

L Wcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Staffing levels have been minimal over the past two months, seemingly due to staff retirements and resignations. The food quality at Lunches and dinner has latterly declined significantly. Activities also seem less than formerly. Less emphasis on the new decorations and more on the above would redress the balance in favour of the residents.s"

M Hcarehome.co.uk rating: 3.08 out of 5

"My father was made to feel at home from the day he arrived. All the staff are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Residents can join the many activities that are on offer which are interesting and obviously give him the chance to meet others and sometimes learn things or new skills. The food is varied and there is plenty of choices and it always looks very tasty. So, a lovely home for anyone to come and live."

T Wcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.75 out of 5

"My mother-in-law seems content and looked after, comfortable and kind staff. Staff levels seem to have reduced, activities seem less at the moment. Evening meal (tea) is very unpalatable, beige starchy and non-nutritious veg or fruit garnish (fresh) would boost its appeal. She has complained of boredom recently."

"One week of respite. Very warm and friendly staff throughout. Excellent food with a good variety. Choice of activities although not used on this visit. Spotless - lovely decor. Safe, well-kept gardens. I like the touches such as tea/coffee/cakes/water available to all in the foyer. Linen tablecloths, small lounges for family visits, outdoor furniture."

Christine Ncarehome.co.uk rating: 4.9 out of 5

"Superb care from everyone, from entering the home, for both residents and family alike. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and this commitment came from every member of staff and everyone made my mother in law's final weeks the very best they could have been. Care with compassion and dignity and she loved it there, all while fully supporting both her and her family, with a level of care and compassion that was second to none. Nobody could do better!"

Ken Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"The Improvement we have seen over the past couple of months has been fantastic to watch. The food has improved dramatically and level of care is very good. Mum has now joined Dad here and, although she has quite a high level of care needs, she has settled amazingly well and is being looked after brilliantly. Thank you."

Paula Wcarehome.co.uk rating: 4.58 out of 5

"My mother has been in here for nearly 18 months her treatment from all the staff has been excellent, she is very happy at this home. My mother is allowed breakfast in bed if she wants to(which she does most days.) The staff are all very approachable from the carers to the nurses, admin to the manager, cleaners to chefs.The staff are also excellent at dealing with internal family problems and differences of opinion within the family over the resident's care and needs. They are diplomatic, friendly, reassuring comforting, at this difficult time when tough decisions have to be made about our loved ones. My mother has become incontinent, she is never left in wet pads or clothes and even the chair covers are removed straight away so it never smells. If this home is still run in the same way when my health fails and I am no longer able to be cared for at home I am booking myself a place here. It is also reassuring to the residents knowing that their loved ones are also supported when the need arises."

"A very good home with large gardens for walking. It is bright and clean, also good standards including all linen. I found the big drawback was the quality of the food with the kitchen staff continually changing. The reason for leaving was the very high price per month for the service I was getting ie apart from a room and meals, no nursing was needed."

I feel compelled to write to you about the care given to my father John Bolwell in the last few weeks of his life at Bloomfield Care Centre, Paulton. All staff gave him 100% care, nothing was too much trouble looking after him and his family. From first walking into Bloomfield meeting Daisy and being shown around meeting all levels of staff I knew this was the place for my father. All the staff were so caring but one was exceptional, Sassia Turner showed extreme levels of care and kindness. I would appreciate it if her efforts were noted. Everyone we met was not only professional but also very caring.

I was always impressed with the attention and understanding shown by all staff with whom I came into contact with when visiting Bloomfield. This caring attitude was exemplified by Denise coming in on her leave day to attend my loved one's funeral.

In addition, we are immensely indebted to everyone who helped to make it possible for her husband to attend the funeral. This includes the ladies who got him out his bed and dressed, and the provision of the minibus to take us to Haycombe Crematorium - again, with carers on hand. Without all this help it would have been impossible to get him there.
