Review from Susan B (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has been in The Burroughs for four years and I have found the staff to be very caring, attentive and thoughtful. My only concern would be for the times there have been staff shortages both for the staff and residents.
The food is cooked on site and is extremely good. There is always a choice. The home is kept clean and tidy and is always welcoming.

Review from Marilyn B (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Mum is quite content now, she is rarely anxious or upset. The girls know her well so we know she is being well looked after. As she is quite immobile now she has put on a bit of extra weight and the staff are cutting fone a bit on squash and milk etc. So that doesn't get out of hand.
All is well.

Review from Patricia H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has severe dementia. She was at home, cared for by my sister who unfortunately passed away. I think The Burroughs look after her very well. She is better off at the care home as there is usually something going on. Even though she cannot really join in with much at all, she can still see activities going on or just people coming and going. The food is excellent. My only real problem is that as she is so quiet she is often ignored. She cannot express her needs.

Staff are always helpful and very easy to relate to.
They provide a good level of understanding and support to the residents (despite at times being extremely busy with multiple demands on time (low staff level at times).

Overall Experience
The Burroughs has always been very good offering care for both resident's and their close relatives during very difficult times. Rooms are adequate and clean plus the grounds are well maintained. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Overall Experience
The Burroughs is clean and tidy. The residents enjoy activities, a mature DJ playing old songs which the residents who can dance to with members of staff. Also someone comes in to do exercises with the residents while they sit in their chairs twice a week.

Overall Experience
My mum went to live at The Burroughs care home in 2012. My mum was made very welcome and treated with dignity. Any problem was taken seriously and dealt with to my satisfaction. The staff were very friendly, treating mum with dignity and cuddles.
