What our families say

I visit Glebefields with my therapy dog, Islay It's such a privilege to visit your beautiful home. There is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere and so many smiles. We are hosted and made so welcome by Kay who knows all the residents so well. Its truly a very special place
Sally Stephens

Extremely knowledgeable staff when it comes to the residents, extremely polite, welcoming and professional. All residents appeared happy, well respected and cared for. Beautiful home and the staff I met appear to take real pride in what they do. Care homes never get a good wrap but Glebefields a should be a flagship of what real care is. What a wonderful place!
Alisha Duckett

Transferred a patient to this care home for the Ambulance Service from the outside appearance of the building, surrounding countryside to the reception received by the staff was very welcoming. Staff were all smartly dressed and immaculate, very attentive to the patient and helpful to us. Asked several questions as to his needs and requirements. Four staff to help us with his transfer from our stretcher to the bed. Nurse in attendance too. I go into more care homes than I would like but leaving this one I was in no doubt that the residents there are well cared for, from what I saw they are respected too and their opinions matter to staff and management. The home has a resident ambassador who resides there to assist and liaise between all parties.

Dropped a patient off (patient transport driver)
And couldn't be more welcomed with several staff members.
After safety dropping our patient off the staff kindly offered us cake and tea very accommodating not only to us but all the other residents. All staff were getting involved with the residents and after chatting with residents they loved the place and had a brilliant relationship with one another.

"All the staff at Glebefields Care Home are friendly and welcoming. My mother had a 3 week respite care break at Glebefields and she was very well looked after. Not do the staff care very well for the residents but their visitors are also welcomed and very well looked after. Wonderful attitude and hospitality."

"My friend has been a resident for nearly 4 years. the quality of her care has not altered, in my opinion since day one. Today was her 90th birthday and together with her daughter and one staff member, in particular, she was given the most wonderful birthday party. She was thrilled. Well done Glebefields. I would recommend this care home 100%."

"Although Dad only got to spend 7 weeks in Glebefields we experienced the full breadth of care. From the very first time we stepped foot into the home we received the very best care. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. From the manage to the kitchen staff we were respected, treated with kindness and compassion. Dad had a five star experience, I am sorry he never got to live longer to enjoy it. I feel like I now have a second family - The Glebefields family xx"

"I would like to thank all the staff for their continuous care and support given to my father and myself. My father was only in the Glebefields Care Home for 7 weeks due to ill health. He was happy with his care and happy that his family could spend as much time with him as possible. We felt it was like our home and we will miss everyone. Thank you all."

"I moved in here in May 2022, and I have felt very welcome, secure, and above all, very happy. The staff are very obliging and helpful in every way they can. The staff are very kind because they treat you like family. The food is most enjoyable and tasty. The cleanliness of the home is first-class."

"Immediately on entering the care home, I was struck by the family atmosphere. The level of attention to detail when organising and arranging my father's care needs is quite incredible, and I might add, a great comfort to me to know that my father is being so well cared for. I would further add that without expectation, I sincerely believe that every member of staff clearly trades in the currency of kindness."

"Everybody deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. From what I have seen, most of the staff are good with my mother showing patience and understanding. I am always greeted with a smile and politeness and offered refreshments. Mum is end-of-life, and all I want is for her to be made comfortable and believe the staff understand this and accommodate her needs. The nursing staff are good at giving me updates on my mother's condition, which is greatly appreciated."

"Glebefields kindly accommodated my father for respite care at short notice following a short stay in the hospital with Covid. The be fair, he has only been here five days so far, and this is only my second visit, but I feel very confident that my father is safe and very well cared for with kindness and respect. The accommodation is of a luxury standard, and the atmosphere is calm. All the staff I have met have been really nice, calm and kind. Thank you."

"I would like to send huge thanks to all the care home staff at Glebefields. My mother has been there since 26th July 2022, she is settling in well and they are looking after Mum with exceptional care and work very hard to make sure she is comfortable and meet all her nursing care needs. Only yesterday, they went above and beyond to help us celebrate Mums 90th birthday, from a beautifully baked birthday cake, very tasty buffet for us all, the room was decorated beautifully, all of the staff here are so loving and caring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Glebefields to anyone."

"My mother stayed in Glebefields for three weeks for respite care. The staff and facilities were excellent. The food was of high quality, and staff were available to change the menu and times to suit my mother's dietary requirements and routines. Many of the residents are bed-bound, so there was limited opportunity for interaction, but the activities manager tried hard to engage my mother with a diverse programme, including flower arranging, pottery, exercise and outdoor visits. There are less staff available at weekends, which made the administration of dropping off/picking up more difficult on these days, but visiting was not a problem."

"My mum came to Glebefields Care Home for respite care in May 2022 after some months in the hospital following my dad's unexpected and sudden death. This is now her permanent home and I can't be grateful enough for the level of services and care she consistently receives. The staff do everything to make her comfortable, respect her dignity, and engage her in activities, special thanks for posting photos of the art mum makes each week! It's a delight to come to Glebefields, set in beautiful countryside and with the quality of a boutique hotel since its refurbishment. The hospitality is excellent and how visitors are welcomed really impacts positively on mum's life. I'm so relieved to know she is held in such calm, loving hands and that she refers to everyone at Glebefields as her friends. Thank you!"

"From my very first arrival, I have received the best care and attention, nothing has been too much trouble-all done with kindness and consideration. There is plenty to do if you wish, although I preferred to stay put, being rather a loner, I enjoy scrabble on Thursdays. I have a room with views out to a raised small garden and the birds and squirrels keep me very amused."

"I have visited my mother, who is staying here, twice now and both times I was very impressed with the care home and the kind and professional way that you are dealing with my mother. However, my mum said that she was left for 20 minutes yesterday sitting on the commode. This made her cry! I know you are busy, but 20 minutes is too long. Everything else is good!"

"I try to visit my friend at least every ten days or two weeks. The care she is receiving, in my opinion, is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble to make her happy. The staff are so welcoming when I arrive. They look after my friend so well, caring in every way. On her birthday they gave her a lovely party with a buffet tea and beautiful cake. We had music and managed to get some residents, if they wished, up to dance with us. I would totally recommend Barchester Glebefields Care Home to any person looking for a home for a family member or friend."

I like the way the dining tables are always set properly and the food is excellent-suitable for a wide range of (smaller) appetites. The staff are very attentive and make an effort to get to know the residents so that they can quickly identify when something is wrong and seek medical attention."
