Reviews for Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

"My aunt has been here for ten months and in that time the constant care and attention to all of her needs has been exceptional. The home is always clean and the staff are welcoming. My aunt has regularly expressed her gratefulness for being in such a lovely environment. We are confident of the staff's care and ability to look after my aunt 24/7. I would have no reservations in recommending Tewkesbury Fields Care Home."

"My mother came to Tewkesbury Fields from hospital last year as she was not capable of living independently at home. She was confused and frightened to be there as she really wanted to stay in her own home. However, the staff were very friendly and caring and soon my mother felt confident enough to spend all day in the day room instead of her own room. The staff are great, nothing is too much trouble and if there are any niggles they respond quickly. Likewise, if they notice a problem they are prompt in contacting you. The home is beautifully clean and homely. My mother has a special diet and this is well catered for by the kitchen staff - she really enjoys the home cooking. The care staff have responded well to my mother's gradual deterioration due to her medical problems and she is well looked after. The activities team encourage her to join in activities for her enjoyment and stimulation. Everyone has worked hard during the crisis and I look forward to visiting in person again soon."

"I live about 150 miles from Tewkesbury Fields where my uncle is cared for so, with the various restrictions this year, I have been unable to see him. It's a very challenging situation for everybody in similar circumstances but Tewkesbury Fields staff have done their utmost to facilitate regular contact and to keep me informed. The little but important touches like the sending of postcards to relatives/friends have been so welcome. The staff are dedicated to delivering the best possible care in these most trying times and I am comforted and encouraged to know that my uncle is in good and safe hands. If I ever have a question or query it's dealt with quickly and efficiently. I am so grateful."

"My sister has been a resident since November 2019, at which time I returned home to Canada. You can imagine the upheaval moving, from your very own residence to a care home was quite traumatic for her. Nevertheless, the compassion shown by staff enabled my sister to maintain her dignity during this time of change. During the last 12 months, I have dealt with many members of staff by phone or skype. Over this time period, all concerns or requests regarding her health were dealt with immediately including a phone call from the Doctor and to my sister's satisfaction. At the same time, COVID19 struck and resulted in restricted visiting by myself from Canada, although my niece was allowed to distance visit my sister, apart from the phone and skype calls which allowed my sister to cope, greatly supported by the care staff."

"My husband has been a resident in Tewkesbury Fields since March of this year. Although it was difficult at the start for him, not least due to the Covid 19 pandemic and his Parkinson's illness, the care and hard work by staff helped him settle in very quickly. Due to the Covid restrictions, I haven't been able to meet all of the staff, however, those I have met have a lovely friendly attitude. The garden visits have been wonderful for both myself and my husband where we have been able to have a chat face to face. The activities team are always there for us should we need to ask any questions. My husband has had a couple of falls in his room. However, when this happens I am always informed even if it's only a bruise he sustains. I would like to give the receptionist a mention. He is always very helpful and polite when I have the need to contact him. Thank you Tewkesbury Fields for looking after my husband and keeping him safe."

"Throughout these long months, the Tewkesbury Fields team have been wonderful in sustaining a positive and encouraging community, redoubling their efforts to provide sensitive, responsive care to residents, handling relatives’ concerns with patience and understanding and actively facilitating contact for families with their loved ones. The home is blessed with some remarkably dedicated staff, whose attentiveness and thoughtful kindness, along with their tremendous reserves of energy and enthusiasm, have been so reassuring and hugely appreciated during what has been an exceptionally difficult period. I cannot thank them enough for rising to the challenges of Covid-19 with such resilience and professionalism."

"We have very much appreciated the care and close attention my mother has received while she has been ill. The nurse and carers always work hard to give residents all the care they need but over the past two weeks, they have really gone the extra mile. And they have been unvaryingly helpful and reassuring in answering our (many) phone calls in the middle of their busy day."

"During a particularly difficult period for all concerned, I am very grateful for the ability to communicate with relative and for the cooperation from staff with their assistance in this. Also with their time when enquiring about the health of our relative and any concerns we may have had. There has never been a moment in their precious time that I have felt that we were being a nuisance and they hadn't got time to address those concerns or worries. No doubt they all have concerns and worries about their own families. The staff work extremely hard and particularly so during the existing times we are living through."

"During lockdown, all the staff have been working extremely hard to ensure the residents are well cared for. The reception staff are always very helpful and welcoming on the phone. The activities team provide a weekly activities newsletter, which is varied and must keep the residents amused. The nursing staff are happy to update on the health and well being of the residents. The option's below I cannot answer properly as not being able to go into the home makes an assessment unrealistic and would be unfair to comment."

"A follow-up review having now had access to Tewkesbury Fields. I was reunited indoors today with my lovely mum after 52 weeks. I want to sincerely thank all the staff for taking such good care of her, I appreciate this has been a difficult time for not just loved ones but for those of you who have turned up each day caring for mum so well. I am so pleased I chose the perfect place for mum and would not hesitate to recommend Tewkesbury Fields. Thank you."

"I stayed in Tewkesbury Fields for two weeks after a fracture in my pelvis and catching Covid in hospital. As I live on my own, I was not ready to go home, and my eldest son read about this care home. It was a great solution to have some special care to get back on my feet. The staff were amazing, making me welcome and giving me constant attention. Apart from their medical support, they were always ready to chat, boost my morale and give their time to walk with me and check on me during the night."

"We needed respite care for my brother-in-law for just over a week and cannot recommend Tewkesbury Fields Care Home enough. A beautifully renovated property, like a five-star hotel with spacious rooms and bathrooms. When we went to view, there were four ladies having lunch and chatting as if they were enjoying a restaurant meal out - you would not know this was a care home dining room, it felt luxurious. Menu choices and food were excellent with a G&T or glass of wine etc with your meal if wanted. Most important though was the care is given and the thoughtfulness of the staff here - in my experience, it's hard to find both together but Tewkesbury fields manage to give both quality accommodation AND quality care. Special thanks to the Manager and one of my brother-in-law's carers. I've seen and visited many care homes and it can be very depressing but after seeing a Barchester Home, and how well it is run, I feel much more positive about my own future if the need ever arose."

"Myself and my sister wanted to move our Aunt closer to where we lived, as she was originally in a care home 4.5 hours drive from us. She had lived on her own for a number of years and after a fall, and release from the hospital, was unable to live independently. After a great deal of research and worry, we came across Tewkesbury Fields. I went and met Emma and was shown around the beautiful home. You know when you walk into a home it just feels right? this did. I could just see her having not only wonderful surroundings, a beautiful home to be in, and the most incredible care but truly enjoying the whole package. The manager and the whole team, and it is a team effort, are wonderful, caring, fun, empathetic, supportive, and pure joy in my aunt's (and my sister's and mine) life. What a difference they have made, we finally have our funny, sparky, giggly aunt back, looking better than she has in years. Very highly recommend it. Thank you ALL. Wonderful food, great outings, love the 5.40 drinks."

"Mum has been very well cared for in the five weeks she has been a resident at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. The staff have all been kind and caring in all aspects. Our only criticism is the catering was not to mum's taste. Overall though, kind and caring."

"Early days at this stage. Dad has settled in really quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Friendly staff who are very quick to respond to dads needs. He has a really lovely room which is always clean and looks perfect when he returns. I am so happy to leave my father in this amazing care home knowing he will be well looked after."

"A huge shout out to the fantastic team at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home who cares for my 97-year-old mum. We visited yesterday and it's so comforting to see how content and well-cared for mum is. The attention to detail is amazing and your team are fabulous. From the member of staff in entertainment to the loveliest receptionist, the friendly lunch staff to the super friendly young lady carefully cleaning public areas to make sure the home was safe for all users. We can't thank your team enough ( sorry I didn't catch everyone's name) but we are eternally grateful for the high standards and levels of care Mum receives. Thank you team Tewkesbury Fields."

"Mum has been in Tewkesbury Fields Care Home for 8 months and has been cared for brilliantly. She is very happy and enjoys the activities very much. The atmosphere is relaxed and caring, and always a lot of laughter in the lounge. In the autumn Mum was extremely ill and the care she received was excellent."

"My mum (age 88) came out of hospital for two weeks respite care/convalescence. Her experience (and ours) was very good, staff, in particular, made the experience better and couldn't do enough to support her. The activities were very good, although Sundays were very quiet. The room was cosy, clean and comfortable, although small. Some rooms have no 'nature' to look at at all which is sad. One member of staff sat with Mum while watching her brother's funeral which was so kind. Mum made great progress."

"In a word...wow! From the greeting to the leaving, everything at Tewkesbury Fields is incredible. Friendly and attentive staff, six-star hotel surroundings and an overwhelming sense of well-being within the home. Nothing is too much trouble and the chef deserves a Michelin Star! Cannot recommend this home highly enough. Well done to everyone involved in its transformation."

"While there were occasional omissions in 'housekeeping' the overall level of care and attention was everything I needed. The staff are friendly and obliging and the accommodation excellent. The recent refurbishment means that everything looks pristine. The bed is comfortable, the ensuite convenient and the food is excellent, both in quality and imagination."

"My aunt has recently moved into the home but initially was very resistant to moving to any care home at all. I am delighted with how well she has settled in such a short space of time and can only put this down to the welcoming and caring approach of the staff in the home. It's such an enormous relief for me to know she is safe and well looked after."

"This place is incredibly well organised. It is clean, attractively decorated; everything works very well and is done with style. Most importantly, all the staff are very professional, charming, good humoured, respectful and have the knack of remembering everyone's names from day 1! The only slight negative was the food which was occasionally below par."

"I only stayed for one week respite care and found the experience very enjoyable. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. They did not keep disturbing me in the night but I am sure they kept a discrete eye on me to check I was still alive! The food was excellent but I cannot walk without a frame so I stayed in my room, although they did offer to help me to the dining room every mealtime. There was no shortage of activities to meet every taste. I have a chiropodist and physiotherapist, both of whom were allowed to visit me and treat me as required. There seem to be plenty of meeting places to meet and greet visitors so I did venture out occasionally. It is worth noting that all walkways had a banister so getting around was not too difficult for most people. It would have been more convenient if my room had been a little larger but I look forward to my next visit."

Being able to use the cafe facilities at any time is wonderful, as is being able to stay for a meal occasionally. My friend loves it here and we are all pleased with his progress. It is sometimes hard to realise that this is a care home and not a very welcoming hotel. Thank you all so much."

There is so much going on, from music, quizzes, crafts, trips out, and my mum recently celebrated her birthday and was treated to a cake, balloons and entertainment. The staff are very attentive and friendly and very professional at all times. They are always happy to talk over any worries and deal with any requests. Thank you to everyone at Barchester Tewkesbury Fields Care Home."

"Mum has dementia and came in for respite care. The changes to her frame of mind and cleanliness were so improved that the decision was made by us as a family with Mum's agreement for her to remain. We believe this is all due to the care of the staff. The transfer from respite to permanent was made simple and straightforward with the guidance and help of the management and admin staff."
