Reviews for Field House Care Home

What a lovely evening. Stella’s cooking never fails to disappoint and tonight she surpassed herself. Such fantastic authentic Greek cuisine. Well done to everyone involved with room decorations, music and service. We will definitely be back again if you repeat this event.

This evening's event - a Greek Evening at Field House in Church Stretton - was excellent. The food, the decorations, the staff costumes - everything was first rate. The staff were so welcoming and it was evident how much they worked as a team. It far exceeded our expectations. What a brilliant place.

"My mother in law is in Field house Care Home for almost 3 months now and I have to say I'm v impressed with the all the staff there , they are v efficient, attentive, pleasant and always helpful. I try to visit her almost everyday but sometimes it's not possible but it's always reassuring to know she is in a nice residencial home that there is a lot happening , activities , lovely meals and great care. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending FH ."

"Mum went in for post op care in Oct 24 and she has Alzheimer's. Field House was highly recommended by a friend of mum's who has made it his permanent home. From the first step in the door I knew it was the place to be. Four months on it has turned out to be such a godsend. For mum she has regained her physical health, made good friends, got a stable happy safe life with round the clock care from people she respects and likes. She feels the team can't do enough for her and particularly "treat me as normal, even when I do daft things"! My anxiety levels about mum's wellbeing, from when she lived in her own home, have dropped completely and the advice and guidance I've received from the team has been invaluable. They are definitely doing something very right and go the extra mile to make the home caring and fun. They do an incredibly difficult job and mum and I are hugely appreciative."

"My wife and I stayed for a weeks respite after her surgery, the care shown was good and great care was taken of diet requirements. Overall, a good experience she need care again we know where to come."

"The staff at Barchester The Field House Care Home are excellent, always very friendly and helpful. The room is well maintained and clean, light and airy. Only downside is that the toilet/hand basin room is quite small making manoeuvring with the walker quite tight and difficult. The atmosphere of the home is very pleasant and friendly, unlike some that we visited prior to selecting Field House. Very happy that Mum is being well cared for."

"I went into respite care in June/July and was impressed from the start. I was invited for coffee and biscuits to do the paperwork, or they were happy to come to me, I had a wonderfully warm welcome and was really happy for my stay. I have been back several times since, to afternoon tea, garden fete and Christmas fayre and have always been welcomed. I would be more than happy to stay there again in the future."

"I visited my cousin for the first time today as part of a larger group. The welcome was warm and genuine and my cousin clearly feels at home. His room is wonderful - bright, well decorated and his own furniture makes the transition easier. We were told of quiz events, social evenings and enjoyable mealtimes. I was able to speak to the manager and employee of the month (September) - both of whom were professional and kind."

"I visited my friend's mom and the welcome I received was fantastic, the home was clean and tidy and nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. I was given coffee and cake and when I left I felt like I had been out for afternoon tea. What a fantastic place to enrich the lives of our friends and loved ones"

"Dad came to The Field House Care Home in February on respite care. The manager and the team have been amazing with him. He very quickly settled in and we realised that he was much better staying at Field House rather than going home. He is cared for brilliantly, he has gone from having no appetite to eating well and putting weight on. The member of staff does amazing the activities and I am shocked that Dad is joining in with them all. He is smiling and happy all the time which is something I haven't seen for a long time when he was at home. Massive thanks to all at Field House."

"I have now visited my friend in the home about 6 times and have found the atmosphere homely and have found a big improvement in my friend's physical and mental state. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Nothing seems to be much trouble for them. The food is extremely good and varied and my friend has got her appetite, which she had lost before she came into the home."

"My father regarded The Field House Care Home as his second home. He was incredibly happy there and regarded the staff with great affection and as his friends. Dad was always treated with respect and as an individual. The standard of care was exceptional. I have no problem recommending Field House to anyone who is looking for quality, professional and individual care in a homely, friendly and loving environment."

"My father could not have received any better care and this is the most vulnerable time in his life. He was treated with dignity and respect and it was most reassuring knowing that living with us geographically quite a distance away he was always in safe hands. The chef took great care in preparing nutritionally appropriate and delicious food. Very satisfied."

"Field House Care Home staff were incredibly compassionate, and loving towards my mum. As it turned out, a little unexpectedly, end-of-life care was what they provided and all of the staff were generous, calm and patient. In every way, we felt confident and supported by everyone, even though we didn't know people for very long. Mum had the dignity and respect that we felt would only be possible at home. We felt that a great deal of the burden was taken off our shoulders and we could spend some precious and special time with mum at the end of her life. The atmosphere of the home was very lovely. There was always a sense of genuine caring, chatter and interest that we observed between staff and residents. One day we saw the chef having a really delightful conversation with a resident. All the staff, whoever they were, seemed to have the same sunny and compassionate approach, not just to residents, but to visitors too. We thank you all very much for all you did for us."

"After visiting different care homes in the Shropshire area, we came across "Field House". It felt more like a first-class hotel rather than a care home. Really good that it's a small care home rather than a big one where the residents are just a number."

"From the moment I stepped into Field House, I was greeted very warmly and with a lovely smile from a carer. She escorted myself and family to my auntie's room. We were then brought hot drinks, again with very friendly carers. The whole place was immaculately clean. Looking forward to visiting my aunty again in such a lovely, homely place."

"During our visit to our family member, the staff were friendly, helpful and gave us respect and privacy during our visit. They were respectful towards both us and our family member. The room and the home itself were beautifully presented and the views from our family member's room were beautiful. The home had a warm and comfortable atmosphere and our family member expressed her happiness at living there. Lots of activities."

"Mum has settled into Barchester The Field House Care Home and is enjoying the activities and trips out. The carers are excellent and Mum is very well taken care of. The range of activities provided and organised for residents is excellent and carried out with great patience and good humour. Mum loves speaking about the board games, quizzes and other events. Everyone is very helpful and ensures that Mum feels looked after and cared for."

"My father has been resident in Barchester The Field House Care Home for 18 months now. When he arrived he was withdrawn and depressed as we had recently lost our mum, his wife of 70 years. He has blossomed in a way I would not have believed possible. He takes part in all the activities and is constantly telling me what he has been doing. The staff are amazing they look after him in a respectful manner and are kind and attentive. Everything is clean and organised and the food is lovely, always with a choice. I really can find no fault in the care we/he receives. I am disabled myself and they are always on hand to help me as well as dad. Keep on with what you are doing, it's brilliant"

"Barchester The Field House Care Home is a lovely care home. Our dad came here soon after our mum died - he was frail, sad and withdrawn - he has settled in so well and has a whole new lease of life. It is such a friendly, active home - lots of trips out, entertainment and activities. He is so well looked after and happy. We can not fault it."

"My very elderly father has a number of debilitating health concerns having recently moved to the home directly from an emergency hospital admission. The Manager and all of the staff have listened and supported him and expertly put in place all the daily care and solutions to help these as much as they can, with kindness and consideration throughout. He has been very content and comfortable to become a permanent resident now. It is an attractive, friendly and welcoming home, supportive for residents but in my experience very much so too for their visiting relatives."

"Although occupying a converted home this is an excellent care home. The facilities are good although, could do with more updating. The outstanding feature of this home is the staff. They are marvellous, providing a caring loving service which is exceptional. Sadly this is not a nursing home and therefore for did not give the level of nursing care needed for my wife to receive funding."

"Mum has been at Field House for several years now and as soon as we walked in we felt at home. Mum has had excellent care ever since. The staff genuinely care for the residents and they go out of their way to please. The atmosphere amongst the staff is very happy and the managers, deputy and administrator are clearly well respected. The food is top quality and choice of food is varied and they cook to please the individual."

"My mother-in-law was admitted here as she suffers from dementia and required supervision while her 93-year-old husband was in hospital. On discharge from hospital, he joined her for respite. Despite him being a little difficult at times, staff were very patient, kind and caring. The home is warm and very homely. Residents all appear happy. There is a very nice atmosphere and staff appear happy in their work. Well managed by the manager, she has created a team to be proud of. Well done."

"I have visited various residents over the years. They seemed as content as it was possible for them to be. I noticed a considerable improvement in one lady who was in for respite in a week. The staff I spoke to were caring, friendly and helpful."

"Field House fitted Mum in for 2 weeks respite and we are grateful for the care she received. While staff worked hard and were professional and friendly, possibly more staff are needed as Mum tells me on occasion she was kept waiting nearly half an hour when she needed help with the toilet. She would have liked more social activities - advertised events were cancelled - and she felt that residents were encouraged to spend time in their rooms. The conservatory was the only communal area and very hot, though she enjoyed the garden. Her bedroom didn't have a TV - it might be good if one were provided for respite clients. I was a bit taken aback when I later found out the cost of her care - Mum was charged £1250 a week. I'm not sure that Field House delivers more than other homes which charge substantially less. Mum also felt uncomfortable at having to pay for care immediately on arrival. Unfortunately, there was some issue with her medication running out which was not resolved until she got home."
