"We have had great difficulty coming to the decision that it was time for our mother to go into a care home but after viewing Glebefields for the first time it felt right for her. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and made what could have been a difficult time go very smoothly. The home itself has been designed like a 5 star hotel and all the guests seem to be well cared for and happy. The staff have time to talk to Mom and there is always an organised activity on if she wants to take part. I think it also helps that visitors are welcomed and feel like part of a large extended family. Thanks."

"Barchester Glebefields Care Home is a lovely place for a respite break. The staff were wonderful and very caring, nothing was too much trouble. Family members and visitors were well received. Particular favourites were the activities with entertainers and visiting animals. Look forward to revisiting for another break in the near future."

"A very caring home. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped and modern. We were never ‘in the way’ and encouraged to do whatever we thought would help. Despite only being in Glebefields for a few weeks before sadly passing away it is reassuring to know his time was as comfortable and peaceful as it could have been."

"Very well run, very good care. Made us feel confident. The nurses were very helpful, they explained everything to us. The whole place is very clean and modern. My friend was well looked after, he was only in the home for a short while before he passed away. It was reassuring that his last days were comfortable. They also let us take the dog in to see him which was very nice."

"My friend was staying with you for one week on respite, and I was visiting her. She was most complimentary about the care and the cleanliness and thought the food was exceptional (like a five-star hotel). On the day we visited, my friend had been showered and looked very happy. My husband and I were treated very kindly and offered tea and cake and also to join in the afternoon fun if we wanted. My impression was excellent!"

"My dad came to the home after being in the hospital, and he needed 24/7 care. As a family, we were unable to give him the care he needed. The staff are friendly and care for my dad very well, and keep us informed on how he is doing and any concerns they have. He enjoys the activities at the home and the trips he’s been on. It gives us, as a family, peace of mind to know he’s getting the care he needs and that he’s in a safe environment."

"Visiting my husband, who's having respite care here, I was made welcome for lunch in the beautiful dining room. The tables are very attractive, with white damask clothes and serviettes, cutlery and glassware of a high standard. The food is tasty and well-presented, and the portions are an ideal size for the smaller appetites of the elderly. The service was friendly, speedy and efficient."

Jennifer H
carehome.co.uk rating: 5.00 out of 5

"Overall experience is very good, though some of the staff don't seem to communicate with each other. For example, instructions for meals, especially breakfast, are not carried out; no honey brought with porridge, no spoon brought with egg. Some of planned activities don't happen, especially in the lounge, as residents stay in their rooms. The food is excellent and the room is comfortable with a superb view. External door to my room is permanently locked, I'm told that is because I'm not the only resident. Occasionally fear that another resident might wander through my room and escape, e.g. while I'm asleep."

"Summer fete held in the picturesque grounds of the home with BBQ and ice cream van. Despite the windy blustery weather it was very well organised and attended by staff, visitors and stall holders. The staff in particular were brilliant and helpful at all times with residents and visitors alike. A special thank you to the activities coordinator) for organising the event. Such a lovely day. Thank you to all."

"Overall a great respite stay that my mother really enjoyed. Only negative we were told on collection that Mum did not use incontinence pants during her stay which left us confused. In her suitcase, she had an incontinence pant brand we did not use and was also incontinent as before on returning home."

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."

"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!"

"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 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 Mum moved into Glebefields on 20/03/2020 from hospital, just before lockdown. She was very distressed as we had not seen her the week before while she was in the hospital and her condition had deteriorated. We have seen her only twice due to coronavirus, and she was very distressed as she could not understand why we could not give her a kiss and a hug, so we have not been able to visit. Mum has Alzheimer's/dementia and has been very agitated and has challenging behaviour for the staff to deal with. The wonderful staff have kept Mum safe and very well cared for. They are all so patient and understanding of her condition. Mum was 81 in July and a birthday cake was made for her with candles that she blew out and everyone sang happy birthday to her, she looked like she was having a lovely time. She was dancing to Abba one afternoon when I called and I could hear her laughing in the background! Glebefields care home staff are amazing, I do not know what we would have done without them."

The deputy manager showed great empathy for our situation, arranging a swift admission and treated us all with great respect and compassion. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and the ability to WhatsApp to talk too and see him was very reassuring (no visiting due to the pandemic). Dad was lucky too, to stay in one of the rooms with lovely views over the local countryside."

There seems to be even more attention to detail now, with the new manager. As visitors, we are always made to feel welcome. I think this is a very special care home."

"Mum has been at Glebefields since July 2019 and although was very anxious at first, within two days was asking if she could stay forever. She has made lots of friends and is very happy in this lovely caring environment. The staff are all so brilliant and are very genuine with both residents and each other. It is like being part of an extended family. There is much laughter, and you get a great sense of teamwork. As family members, we feel welcomed and greatly supported as part of the Glebefields community."

"I visit almost daily to help at lunch time, and am always made to feel welcome. There is a calm and friendly atmosphere in the dementia unit generally. All the staff including cleaners, carers, nurses and kitchen staff are friendly and polite. I feel the staff training sessions have improved the handling of patients care. Personally I have no complaints about staff and they are always willing to help if I ask. (Help for my husband to be moved into a wheelchair or to be taken to the toilet)."

"If you have any problems you are able to talk to the appropriate people who will deal with it, my husband is unable to ask or answer for himself so its important to have nurses and carers (all staff) to be able to read his needs, so staff in a dementia unit is important to relatives. I would recommend to friends and family depending on the needs they wanted."

"When I first visited Glebefields I knew this was the place for my husband to spend his last days of his life. Homely, welcoming, really genuine feeling from the staff. Everyone so caring. He was treated with dignity. Glebefields was like one of the top hotels (even better). I thank God I chose Glebefields."

"The entire time mum was a resident at the home, she was always treated with the utmost care and dignity. I visited mum on a regular basis and each time the staff were welcoming, helpful and happy. Information was freely given at all times and I was called if mum was "resident of the day" to ask which "treats" mum would like. Mum passed away before Christmas and again, the staff were fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone there."

"We looked at several homes for convalescence care for our mother and this home was by far the best. All the staff have been very welcoming, kind and caring, Attention was given to the specific needs and rehabilitation for my mother. We were given a choice of rooms allowing mum to watch the birds from her window. Her room was very comfortable with plenty of space and storage. This care home has been the perfect place for mum to rest/recover and also give my sister and I two weeks of 'respite' after weeks of 24/7 care. We are very appreciative of all the efforts of the whole team. Many thanks."

"I was very impressed with the thorough review that I attended. Every eventuality has been covered, all details regarding this gentleman's health condition and medication were clearly noted, with extra information should a problem arise, with detailed information freely available for care staff not aware of his medical history. Also pleased how personal review notes were, with special treatment and attention to bring a smile to this elderly gent, with his everyday general care. I am so happy with all the staff and the wonderful food offered. This gentleman has been at Glebefield for almost four years, he is being treated wonderfully and relies on their help completely.

Once we met the team from Glebefields, we were reassured this was the right place for him. Nothing is too much trouble; it was his birthday recently and the team put on a treat for him, which was lovely and special. I know he is well looked after there and the team have made what is a very difficult time, an easier one."

"Mum was taken into Glebefields initially on emergency respite and I have to say reluctantly. She did not wish to stay and wanted to go home. That changed within 2 days. Mum told me didn’t wish to return home. She loved the home, the staff and the other residents. Mum now has permanent residency in Glebefields and couldn’t be happier. The staff are absolutely brilliant and are always ready with a hug and kind words. Mum feels safe and is surrounded by company which she loves. She’s made friends in there and they sit together all day and evening joining in the many activities on offer. The food is wonderful and mum has settled as if she been there for years."
