Reviews for Glebefields Care Home

"Very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere from the moment you arrive, gardens are lovely at the front of the building. Always greeted with cheerful, friendly staff. Nursing and caring staff are amazing. I do think that residents that need moving around in a bed or can only sit in a chair, due to terminal illness, require a ground-floor room where they can view outside or push bed beside an open French door. Ground-floor room should be available with no mobility."

"I am really grateful to Barchester Glebefields Care Home for making my life a lot less stressful. I am a lot more relaxed knowing that Mum is being taken care of so well and she is much happier than she was alone at home. Thanks."

"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)."

"Amazing care home, clean and tidy. I actually thought it was a five-star hotel, the staff were all very friendly, especially a young lady who helped me with my enquiry and was very professional. I got the feeling the management team are great and generally, the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming!"

"During my visit to the care home which is situated in a beautiful countryside location, the staff treated residents with dignity and their choices were respected. We could see residents being engaged in outdoor activities. The kitchen team was pleasant and very kindly offered us refreshments. It's only a few weeks that my friend had been staying there and we could see the improvement in his health and well being. The home was very clean and well presented. The rooms are very spacious and have access to the garden outside. Overall the home had a very positive environment."

"This care home does not deserve to still be open. Gone downhill so quickly within the matter of a year. I was seriously worried and concerned with how my grandma was treated and I honestly believe she would not still be with us if she was still there. They showed no respect or dignity and used her dementia to their advantage, giving her no choices, shoving her in a room all day and feeding her food she doesn’t like because ‘she won't realise’. As a granddaughter, I even had a member of staff moaning about my grandma which was extremely upsetting and demonstrated their lack of care and respect. Seriously concerned about the residents still there. She has now improved massively since being away from Glebefield."

"Shocking home! Treated my Grandma with no respect or dignity. The manager is extremely rude and disrespectful not only to the residents and relatives but also to the staff. Wouldn’t recommend this home to anybody."

"Would not recommend this home as we as a family had many issues regarding the management of the home. Our mother was not cared for as we would have expected. We have moved mum to another care home and can see the difference in her within a short time. High turnover and retention of staff and poor communication."

"The level of care was not as we would have expected as a family. Since moving mum to a new care home, we can appreciate the level of care she is now receiving. Mum is now thriving at her new home. Glebefields has a high turnover of staff. Poor food choice and quality."

"My friend needed urgent care and nursing. She had stayed previously at Glebefields and they were very nice, so they were my first thought when she needed care again. She has been in for two weeks now and has finally settled. The staff have made everything so easy from the start and have always got time for you. I would certainly recommend Glebefields."

"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."

"My husband has been at Glebefields for over a year and his care and requirements are met. We’ve always found him to be well cared for, well-fed, comfortable, happy, staff are lovely caring people and if we requested anything it’s always been tried to facilitate. We are looking forward to meeting outside in the garden as we’ve not been able to see him for a long time and hope that happens quite soon."

"Our first meeting for 3 and a half months, we had a wonderfully special day at Glebefields for our anniversary. The organisation and all the staff were brilliant and we felt very safe. My husband looked very content and it meant so much to me to see him. Thank you all again."

"My dad was a resident for a very short period before his health sadly failed, but during this time, the staff went out of their way to make him feel welcome, cared for and comfortable. 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."

"My husband and I could not have asked for a better place than Glebefields (Drayton) for his respite period. Each and every one of the staff that we met were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The carers were very good. Office staff to nurses and cleaners were most helpful No problems were too much. Thank you, everyone."

"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."

"My friend has been a resident in Glebefields for five years and has received the very best of personal and nursing care. Nothing is too much trouble for the caring staff. This is 'home' for him - so comfortable. Any special food requirements are always catered for too. The entertainment staff always come up with a variety of activities. 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."

"My elderly Mother transferred from another home, where she had been a resident for more than five years. We were immediately impressed with the level of care offered at Glebefields Care Home and by the culture, compassion and concern displayed by all of the staff team. A very impressive operation that deserves huge praise."
