"My mother's care has been exemplary since she became a resident in April 2024. She is even taking part in the many activities the home provides, such as carpet bowls, yoga, boxing and dominoes! At 100 years old there is still something new to experience."

"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."

"My family and I are very happy with the care and nursing that my husband is having. All the staff are so pleasant and caring, we are unable to fault it. The refurbishment that has happened over the last few months is quite amazing and I admire your patience while it was happening. Wonderful all around. Thank you."

"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."

"I came here for a week's respite following hospitalisation. The atmosphere here was one of peace and rest. The staff were incredible and nothing was too much bother. The food was superb, and without a doubt, I would come again if necessary."

"We have only marked down the activities as my relative remains in bed and it might be better if they were moved. The staff are excellent and treat the residents with dignity. The food and drink, we have been told it is very good."

"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. The staff are all very friendly and caring and assist residents to join us for Bible Club if they want to attend. There is a great homely atmosphere there."

"Mum has been happy, comfortable and content in Barchester Hempton Field Care Home despite vowing she'd never go into a home. Her frailty has necessitated the move. All the staff have been so kind and considerate to her and made a difficult time as pleasant as it can be."

"Mum has been at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home for eight years now. The staff treat Mum with great care and consideration, she continues to have a superb experience at the home. The home is kept very clean and the furniture is new and in good condition. The food is to a high standard and Mum always has all the teas and coffees she could wish for."

"Mum has lived here for two months now and in her own words, she says 'you could not better this place and I do not want for anything!' All the staff we have come into contact with, so far, from all departments - reception/admin/management/caring/catering have a genuine interest in Mum's welfare which is obvious to see. Overall, there is a calm and welcoming atmosphere at Barchester Hempton Field Care Home and we know we made the right choice in choosing this home for Mum."

"The staff are always lovely with my father. I do sometimes wish they were a bit more insistent on helping, particularly regarding his personal hygiene but I do appreciate he can be difficult and resistant to help. It's good to see he's happy there and says he's well cared for. The food is excellent (we've had lunch there) and there is certainly plenty of it. He is encouraged to join in the activities but often prefers to stay in his room. The home is attractive, well-maintained and clean, although my father's bathroom is a challenge and often smells unpleasant!"

"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."

"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."

"My husband was at Hempton Field for nearly 9 months. His needs were extensive and complex. The nurses and carers couldn't have been more caring and compassionate. In fact, all the staff irrespective of their capacity, seemed genuinely interested in the welfare of the residents and supported not only them but the immediate family as well. I was impressed at the longevity of a lot of staff members, they know each other well and that seemed important to the general running of the home. Forever grateful. Thank you."

"We chose Hempton Field because we knew that the manager was a competent and caring one. She inspires her staff to provide a kind and homely setting for older people. When my husband was ill, Hempton Field nursed him back to health by ensuring that appropriate medical help was called in and I am very satisfied with the care they provide."

"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 +"

"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!"

"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."

"I am 94 and until 2013, I drove a care, had dogs and went shooting. I can no longer look after myself. Illness has happened, balance and memory going. They are wonderfully kind and cheerful all of them and we have constant, trained medical care so it couldn't be better. For me, dreamy beyond words. I am very lucky."
