About Northfield House
Residential, respite and day care support is available at Northfield House for older people and younger adults living with dementia. The home is registered for care without nursing and provides a setting designed around safety, familiarity and daily routines, with dementia specialists supporting residents through later life.
Short stays can give families time to rest, travel or manage other commitments while their relative receives round-the-clock care. Residents can spend time in communal areas, their own room or the garden, with weekly visits from a hairdresser and regular access to chiropody, optician and medical support. Respite dementia care gives families time to recharge while keeping the resident involved in home life.

Questions families ask
Can children and babies visit residents?
Yes. Children and babies can visit, but they should not come if they show signs of illness or are known to be unwell because some residents are vulnerable to coughs and colds.
Does the care home do residents' laundry?
Yes. They launder all clothing, provided it is clearly labelled and machine washable.
Is there a doctor based at the care home?
Yes. An in-house doctor runs a regular weekly surgery at the home. A duty doctor or district nurse can also visit between surgeries when required.
Do visiting professionals provide hairdressing and foot care?
Yes. A hairdresser visits weekly, and a chiropodist and optician also come to the home.
How much does Northfield House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Northfield House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gloucestershire council paid on average £1,005 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
