Reviews for Glebefields Care Home

"As my father's previous carer, I am very impressed with how the staff care for him as he is still very lucid at 96 years old and has a lot of dignity. But slowly especially these last few months, now he is physically deteriorating. He could not be in a better place!"

"First visit since the refurbishment and how lovely the home looks. Such a joy to be able to sit in a purpose-designed coffee area with my mum. The staff are able to come and chat and all seem so happy. The atmosphere is wonderful and mum is able to move around so freely with all the space available."

"Have been delighted with the care dad has received from day one. The care and friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness and appearance of dad's room, everything about Glebefields has been first-rate! This now has the added bonus of the new refurbishment, giving the feel of a top-class hotel. The already splendid facilities are now quite magnificent!"

"Their whole approach has been to enable. They are very sensitive in the way they support and take a flexible approach to the care, For example, has difficulty bending down and so they will bring what needs to their level to help the person to manage independently. They always respond to choices and decisions, treating them with great respect."

"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."

"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."

"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 spent five days in respite care. She was warmly welcomed and given a modern, clean room. The staff and management were helpful and supportive prior to and during Mum's stay. Since this was her first time in a care home, we are really pleased that she was happy at all times."

"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 came to Glebefields Care Home straight from the hospital and was very poorly. She has only been there 2 weeks and has made an amazing improvement. The staff are very caring and she is settling in very nicely. Thank you to everyone at Glebefields for looking after her."

"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."

"The home is extremely well-appointed and the cleanliness is a high standard. The staff are lovely, very patient and friendly. Any complaints are dealt with swiftly and appropriately. 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."

"On our first visit, we were greeted with a friendly smile and a welcome cup of coffee. The staff were extremely helpful and showed us around and explained the care that would be provided. The residents were all very chatty and appeared to be enjoying themselves with various activities. We knew that this care home would be ideal for our neighbour and felt confident that we had made the correct choice for her."

"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."

Having lived on her own for many years, she is enjoying the company of other residents and joining in with many of the activities and outings."

"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."
