Reviews for Hempton Field Care Home

"We had a short visit to my sister-in-law. We were welcomed by a friendly greeting. The facilities were clean and tidy. We were provided with an enjoyable 3-course lunch. The staff were approachable, and friendly and treated everyone with respect. We haven't been able to rate all options as we haven't experienced them all."

"I just can't fault the care at Hempton Field. My mother-in-law's respite care was second to none with so much attention paid to her personal needs and wishes. As soon as she mentions something she likes, they try to provide it. She will now stay on a permanent basis and we know she is in safe, caring, friendly hands."

"I have found all the staff more than helpful with myself and also very caring with my friend. My friend's eating has been an issue with her but the chefs have always offered her something more suitable. The home is always clean and the dining room reminds me of a quality restaurant! I do not have any issues with Hempton Field - I feel it is a first-class nursing home with lovely staff."

"Visited my uncle here for the first time today! What a fantastic experience, all the staff were lovely, the food delicious, especially the mushroom risotto, and we were made to feel so welcome. It truly is a home-from-home. I don’t live locally, so cannot visit often, but to know my uncle is so well cared for gives my mum, his sister, such peace of mind. Thank you to all the staff; you are doing an amazing job."

"My dad was rushed into the home after heart failure had taken a swift turn for the worse. The whole process of getting him on very short notice was made very easy by the head of the home and staff. Whilst he was only there 3 days before he died, the staff all made his stay a comfortable one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough. The home itself, recently re-furbished, was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen staff and food a delight. Thank you very much for all your efforts."

"Hempton Field is a lovely care home with extremely caring, attentive staff. It is a very pleasant environment, with lovely lounges, a dining room and beautiful gardens, including an inner courtyard where residents who are interested are encouraged to nurture the displays they helped create. I am often aware when visiting of well-organised, fun games and activities which lots of residents enjoy taking part in or watching. There's plenty of opportunity to socialise or just sit with others, but equally, there's no pressure if residents prefer quiet days in their rooms. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff, and the food is excellent, with the chef keen to find out any particular preferences or favourites. As always, it's the people who really make a place, and the staff at Hempton are wonderful. It has a family feel, and is well-run, and I would highly recommend it."

"My dad took up residence at Hampton in June 2022. He had recently been widowed and was reluctant to go into care. However, within a couple of months, he was suggesting that I should get a room there! In short, he became more outgoing and was extremely happy, made friends and connections with other residents and thoroughly enjoyed the company of all staff. Access to my dad was never a problem (Covid permitting), and I was able to visit anytime along with his great-grandson. In his final days, he was looked after with great dignity and care. I cannot praise the staff a Hampton high enough for the love and care that they gave my dad."

"My husband came into Hampton Fields in October after being hospitalised. Unfortunately and sadly I was unable to look after him at home due to his complex needs. I am so grateful and thankful he is being looked after so beautifully. All the staff are friendly and happy to both my husband and all my family. He seems happy and contented and well looked after both medically and in his overall care. The home would benefit from air conditioning to help the staff and patients."

"Along with another friend, we visit Hempton twice a month and for the last 2 years meet with them via zoom. We come from the local community church.

"My mother spent eight days in the hospital with leg pains, unable to walk. Removed her from the hospital to the care home. The attention she received was excellent, leg pain reduced in days with the change of medication, so much so, that after three weeks she was asking to go home. Thanks to all the staff for the attention received, mum has stated if her condition has a turn for the worse, she would be quite happy to return."

"I was admitted for a short respite following a brief stay in hospital. My immediate response was how attractive the site and interior of the care home and the warm welcome from the staff. My room was comfortable, en-suite with garden views. At this time because of coronavirus, a negative test is required before admission. All the staff were meticulous with us of masks/gloves. The menus were varied and the food excellent. Day and night care included carers and nursing care. Management is without a doubt excellent. Thank you to one and all"

"My mother has been in Hempton Field for over 3 years now. The care and love she receives from all the staff is amazing. They are patient, kind and very tolerant and she is totally "At home" because of their care. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and we gave a little party. Mum is a very private person normally and mainly stays happily in her room but on that day she shone with happiness and all the extra fuss everyone made of her! What a day for us all! We, as a family, will never be able to thank the staff enough for all the unstinting care they give her. As she says “they are my family “what more could you want! Thank you Hempton Field!"

"As we all know, the current situation we find ourselves in is incredibly hard, harder still when you cannot visit your loved ones (my Nan - 100). The lockdown at Hempton Field is keeping all residents safe and as family members, we could not ask for better care! The staff at Hempton Field have gone above and beyond to offer videocall sessions for residents and families. I am able to speak to my Nan at least once a via video call and it makes my week! She also gets to see her 2yr old Great Grandson and their wonderful relationship can continue, even if only virtually for now. A huge thank you to everyone at Hempton Field for keeping my Nan safe, for loving her in our absence and for keeping her smiling! We can’t wait to be able to come and thank you in person and visit Nan but for now, please know that we are eternally grateful to you all!"

"Would highly recommend. From initial contact and making an appointment to look around, to our father moving in and later leaving, everybody at Hempton Field was caring with a 'can do' attitude. The room and facilities were very clean and comfortable, a very homely, cheerful atmosphere. Updates regarding care were treated seriously and with great sensitivity. Nothing was too much trouble, feel lucky to have been able to access care at Hempton Field for my father."

"What a special day we had on Saturday 18th Jan 2020 mum's 100th birthday. We were celebrating with a party in the lounge at Hempton Field, a really beautiful room. From the start of the day until bedtime mum was treated like royalty! Nothing was too much trouble and it was the little things that were so touching, getting her dressed, putting her makeup on etc, the care was unbelievable while all the time her dignity was paramount. The food was excellent and the presentation first class too. I cannot thank the manager and her amazing staff for all their care and compassion not just on Saturday but every day, I can’t thank you enough. Hempton Field is a lovely home (from home) where not only do they care for the residents but also for the family as a whole."

"We needed to find residential care accommodation for our mother and were impressed by how straightforward this was to arrange at Hempton Field and with the warm welcome we received from everyone. The room provided is clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished and opens onto a well-tended garden. Mealtimes are sociable events and most residents choose to eat together. The food is home-cooked and appetising. The manager is professional, approachable and fully involved in the care of all residents. She leads a team of first-class staff; most of whom are local, having worked at Hempton Field for many years, which gives a real sense of community. Everyone we have met has treated our mother with dignity and respect. An excellent Occupational Therapist organises stimulating activities every day. Our mother’s physical and mental health has fluctuated since she has been at HF and throughout she has received appropriate and necessary care from a team of kind, competent and compassionate staff."

"Our dear friend sadly died on the 8th of February 2016. The end of life care was excellent, and has made his death a nice memory, he died peacefully with us with him to the very last. We feel his care was okay, but the price paid we expected a little more. I think the food could have been more tempting for him, particularly in the last two months. We were both very saddened that no one attended our friends funeral from the care home."

"My mother has been a resident here for 3 years and we are so pleased with her accommodation and care. It is a small home so the staff know all the residents. Many of the staff are local and have worked at Hempton Field for years. It is always clean and never smells like a hospital. It has a light, airy feel and many of the rooms have a door into the garden. Gardens are beautifully kept. The OTs organise activities 5days a week. They also arrange for external entertainers to visit and have a bus which takes residents out occasionally. All the staff seem to get on well together. They are a small team so sometimes very busy, particularly in the mornings when so many residents want to get up at the same time. My mum has had serious mobility issues over the last year and the staff have been very caring and inclusive of her, including arranging for other residents to visit her in her room. Mum speaks very highly of the quality of the food. Nurses have been happy to explain her nursing care to me."

"Hempton Field is an excellent care home, well run and with lovely caring staff. Any problems or change in medication and I am notified immediately. My partner is happy, kept clean and although her food has to be pureed it always looks appetizing. A home can only be as good as it's staff and at Hempton Field that's 5 star +"

"Mum lived at Hempton Fields for over 5 years and, apart from a year when the home was being transformed under new management and standards dropped, was extremely well treated and looked after. The last two weeks of her life there were very happy and we really felt that the staff did all they could both for Mum and for us as a family during this difficult time. They went beyond the call of duty in keeping her comfortable and cared for and two members of staff sat wither in her final moments. We felt they became part of our family."

"The gardens are lovely to walk around and beautifully kept up. Room comfortable and clean. I would prefer the door to be kept closed when possible during the day as other people's TV can be very noisy and turned up loud especially in the evenings. At night the home is mainly quiet."

"Hempton is a bright and extremely friendly home. I have visited a number of homes in the past and this home is light, fresh and appears to be well run.

"Our mother was a resident at Hempton Field for just over a year. She had settled well and was fairly happy.

Our deputy manager at the moment is brilliant - caring, compassionate but also very "on the ball". Mum always wanted to die at home but because I couldn't manage her anymore she has gone to Hempton Field and she says how happy she is there - all because it's like family! Thank you, everyone."

"When my husband and I first stepped into Hempton Field Care Home, we were relieved to find a beautiful, clean, welcoming and homely residence. Our first impression was continually reinforced by the dedicated staff who, along with their professionalism, showed a genuine care for all the residents. Staff enjoy chatting to residents and visitors; we have seen how this has helped my mother make connections and feel at home. She has told us that she is very happy there, has made friends, and looks forward to the daily activities and particularly, the weekly hairdressers visit! Thank you to all the wonderful staff!"

I have had great support from the team in encouraging to move, her social, hospital and her care workers have said she was not fit to live alone (bed-bound and nearly blind).
