Reviews for Bloomfield Care Centre

"We were really worried about my father in law joining the home, but we shouldn't have been. They have provided for his every need. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. We have had support every step of the way. It's never easy having to make the choice we had to make, but we are glad we found this care home with its excellent staff and services. Thankyou."

"Every time I go to the home I always get a good vibe from all the staff, so I know my mum is safe there. I am probably there six days a week, 2 to 3 hours a day."

"Mum is at Bloomfield Paulton, I have the utmost respect for all the workers there. Mum is always clean, fed well and as she loves her food she always has extra. Her room is always clean with the T.V. on. As she cannot get out of Bed the staff are always popping in to see her & check she is O.K."

"We were extremely fortunate to be able to see my mother happily settled at the Bloomfield Care Home. She is treated with the utmost respect and care and there is nothing that the staff won't do for her. She is 103 years old. Her family lives in Canada and the staff here have become her surrogate family. We couldn't be more thankful."

"From the outset, all staff were exceptionally welcoming. The activities coordinator kept us fully informed of what would happen at all stages. Reception staff were empathetic, caring and efficient. All nurses were exceptional with their care for mum to ensure she had the best palliative care. The carers genuinely care. I was truly touched by the respect and dignified way they cared. They need and deserve a massive pay rise."

"My wife suffers from late-stage Alzheimer's and is in the dementia wing of the care home. Her carers are wonderfully kind, caring and remarkably patient with her. My wife has responded to their kindness and although generally, her speech is incoherent she will have lucid moments and comes out with phrases such as 'I do like it here'. This is further evidenced by her smiles when she is with her carers and her compliance with their prompts. Before she entered Bloomfield her Alzheimer's had made her increasingly angry and non-compliant but within a few weeks of being there that anger had evaporated and she reverted to the kind and loving girl I married 42 years ago. My visits have become times of precious memorable moments that I treasure. The staff look after her physical needs well; she is always clean, hair done and well dressed. I am so pleased that I found such a wonderful care home."

"My mum is at the home on a discharge to assess placement. I had my worries about her being in a home but have to say the care she is receiving is fantastic. The staff are so very kind and caring and their reassurance has made her settle in very quickly. The nursing is fantastic as are all the other caregivers. She has had a trip to the seaside today and loved it. The activities are great too and encourage them to join. The food is plentiful and looks delicious and management are very good and so helpful."

"My mum has been here nearly three months, and I can't speak highly enough of the staff and home. It has obviously been a very trying time for the home because of Covid, but they have been brilliant. Their kindness towards the residents and they keep them entertained very well, and from what I have seen, and my mum agrees, the food is very good."

"My mother gets good care for her needs. I know it's been difficult this winter because of covid outbreaks. Hopefully, with the home opening up as normal things will feel better for my mother."

"My father has now been a resident for a couple of years, and the staff have always been attentive to his needs and show great compassion. The reception staff are your first point of contact and they are always friendly creating a good atmosphere from the start. It has been very challenging for all over the last couple of years, but it's nice to see things getting back to normal."

"All the staff are always dressed smartly with crisp and clean uniforms. They treat each resident as an individual and get to know all of their likes and dislikes. Whenever there has been a misunderstanding with communication, as you would expect there to be with memory problems, the staff and management take the time to get to the bottom of things, which reassures the family and residents that all is well. My relative chose to live in Bloomfield nearly 7 years ago and has been extremely happy with her choice, we as a family have peace of mind that she is as safe and happy as she can be. The atmosphere of the home has returned to a relaxed family feel now that COVID regulations are at a minimum and the staff support family and friends through what can be stressful times. Overall they deserve 5 stars."

"All staff are very friendly and welcoming and most helpful. The nurses are very attentive to my mother's needs and quick to respond. We are well informed by the staff of any issues which arise from day-to-day care. The home is always clean and well-maintained. The meals are varied with good options. Always advised and updated with any news or developments regarding the home by Barchester Healthcare."

"Mum has been in Bloomfield Care Home for three years now and has been treated very well over those three years. The care, attention and compassion she needs are always on hand. The family are very happy that Mum is close to visit and always gets a warm welcome. The staff are lovely and the cleanliness is always a great standard."

"My mum lived in Bloomfield Care Home from April 2018 to September 2022. Her move involved being uprooted from her home of over 50 years, where she had lots of friends. Staff and residents supported her transition to this new way of life. For this, we are enormously grateful. From November 2019 she was blind, bedridden and very frail. All staff supported her and she built strong relationships with many, especially during Covid. Their love and care sustained her through months of having no visits. Despite her frailty, Mum continued to enjoy food. The kitchen staff were happy to produce food that she liked. As a family, we always felt welcome and part of the team, helping Mum live a rich and often joyful life. Any problems that she had were dealt with professionally and with compassion. Mum was very sociable. She knew how hard everyone worked to keep her comfortable and appreciated their interest in her life stories and their embrace of family and friends from far-flung places."

"From day one, the care has been exceptionally high. All the staff are caring, and competent and treated Mum with dignity. All the family were made welcome and nothing was too much trouble, day or night. I'm glad we chose Bloomfield for Mum's final days, she was treated so well. You should feel very proud of all the staff here. Thank you so much to every one of you."

"Living abroad it's difficult to ensure the safety and care of my grandma, however, I have found this in the staff/care team at Bloomfield. After coming out of hospital we needed to find a centre in which there would be tailored care and support that was built on a person-first philosophy. My family and I have witnessed this carried out during recent visits. The staff treat my grandma with both dignity and respect which is paramount."

"I cannot rate the home highly enough. Mum is treated as an individual and is warmly greeted in name by all the staff as they go about their duties. The home has such a lovely warm and friendly, family atmosphere and provides plenty of activities to enrich the lives of the residents. Mum says the food is amazing and the staff are so friendly. It is a lovely, clean and modern environment where I am quite happy to take my young grandchildren to visit Mum and they enjoy the lovely, free homemade cakes in the reception area. When I leave I go away happy knowing that Mum is being cared for in the best place she could be."

"Having transferred to Barchester Bloomfield Care Home (93 years) from a nursing home, my mother has been well cared for and her diet has vastly improved due to the time taken to help her with her meals and fluids. She has gained weight from the encouragement, having lost an awful lot of weight prior to being moved here. The management, team of carers, even the receptionist have all proved helpful, informative and caring. Due to living in another country (Ireland), I have peace of mind she is being looked after by caring and experienced people."

"I'm so happy with the care my mother has been given since she arrived at Bloomfield Care Home, the manager and all staff members have been so kind helpful I cannot thank them enough, at my mother's last home she was left in her room all day every day and was just giving up on her life, now she has reason to live and I can see such a change in her, there are so many activities she can take part in and she is so much happier now."

"I was very apprehensive about committing to living the rest of my life in a care home, having read many varying reviews of them. However, Barchester Bloomfield Care Home is certainly a home-from-home in all respects. There is an excellent, varied menu and the meals are tasty and well-cooked. The staff are all very friendly and always ready to help. Assistance is never far away with the individual call bell. My room is a good size and I have some of my own furniture. The home is well-maintained and is always very clean. There is a weekly programme of activities which is varied to suit all interests. Overall, after only a short while, I feel happy and well cared for in my new home."

"The entrance lobby is a welcoming space from the moment you walk into Barchester Bloomfield Care Home with tea and cakes and smiling staff, residents and family passing contentedly by. The senior managers are inspirational leaders who never cease to amaze me with their professionalism, empathy and care - for me and my mother. Everything clearly runs like clockwork. My mother's room is wonderfully maintained and always appears fresh. Mother has nothing but praise for the homecooked food and having eaten with her, I was equally impressed with the restaurant quality. But what is most impressive is the incredibly high standard of nursing care and well-being support my mother receives. Staff are not just responsive to her requests, they anticipate her needs and clearly communicate well between themselves. The staff regularly ask for my opinion as to how they can make my mother feel as comfortable as possible. I am extremely happy that my mother is in Bloomfield and it gives me peace of mind to know she is so well cared for. Throughout my mother's admittance and continuing nursing care, I have nothing but the highest praise."

"I experienced a rapid decline in my mother-in-law before she moved into Bloomfield, and the change in herself now has been amazing to watch. Bloomfield is, without a doubt, a proper home where she is not only cared for but loved by everyone. She has become part of a large family where all members of staff work and provide a very high level and standard of care towards everyone. I was taken back by the amount of activities provided to stimulate mind, body and soul - absolutely five stars."
