Boars Tye House

Dad moved to Boars Tye Residential Home in December 2023, had a very comfortable stay for six months. He received the greatest care and focus from the staff. The whole family witnessed the absolute sincere caring character of all the staff. It was beautiful and Dad was thankful also. All the family realised that he was made so comfortable, safe and rested. Peace started on entry. A massive thanks from all the family to the Boars Tye team for your professionalism and true caring nature.

Mum moved into Boars Tye last August and, to be honest, I wasn't sure how she would settle. Well, I couldn't be happier! She has found everyone so easy to get on with; the staff are always so amiable and have time to chat with her and can't do enough to keep her comfortable. Their patience is amazing! The food is great (important to Mum!) with plenty of variety. Communication is good - the Manager and his staff make sure we're always aware of her latest updates - and we always feel she is in a good place. The security that Mum is safe and happy and being looked after is so valuable at this point in her life. Thank you Boars Tye for making Mum at home from home.

My father-in-law has only been a resident at Boars Tye for just short of three months, but it’s as if he has been there for years! This has been totally down to the dedicated care, support and understanding shown to him by the truly professional staff and management as they welcomed him into their community. With Boars Tye not being a new purpose-built establishment there is an overwhelming sense of intimacy which promotes a very caring, personal and homely atmosphere. The food is of an excellent quality standard and there is a very creative programme of activities/events in place. The most recent being a very enjoyable Valentine's Day lunch to which family members were also invited to attend free of charge. From a prior history of being very unsettled (to use a major understatement) he has very quickly found his new ‘Happy Place’!

Thank you to all at Boars Tye.

I would be happy to recommend Boars Tye Residential Home.

It is an incredibly hard thing to see your loved ones move from their own home into a residential home, but everything about Boars Tye has made that transition as painless as it could be, whilst giving Mum levels of support and care that she could no longer get living in her home with daily visits from carers. It has also given us the comfort needed knowing that she is in the best possible place for her. We were very fortunate that Boars Tye was able to accommodate Mum last November, for that we are truly thankful.

My mother moved to Boars Tye Residential Home in November 2023. She was in a confused state having just been in hospital. She had been diagnosed with mixed dementia which has been progressing rapidly. Since moving to Boars Tye, I have seen a marked improvement. My mother is so happy there. Every time I see her she looks better. She has made friends and joins in all the social activities. My mother has told me and other members of the family that she loves living at Boars Tye. The staff are brilliant and very caring and attentive to all the residents there. There is a lovely, family atmosphere there. My mother is clean and very well looked after. The home itself is set in very beautiful surroundings and my mother’s room looks onto the garden which is lovely. My mother loves the food too which is very well cooked. When I phone the office, I can get through very quickly and the manager and staff always answer any queries I have in a polite and friendly manner. I’m so glad my mother is there.

The staff at Boars Tye Residential Home are truly amazing and make what can be a difficult journey so much easier. The management team are there to offer support and to keep us informed; the care team deal with my dad directly and always do so with patience and kindness.

I couldn’t recommend it more.

I would most definitely recommend Boars Tye Residential Care Home!

We moved my mum from another care home to be nearer us as we were not impressed with the other care home. Mum has been in Boars Tye House only for a few months and the difference in her is very noticeable. She enjoys being in there and when we visit she is always in the lounge with other residents or staff. The staff are all friendly and helpful and we get offered drinks (we didn't at the other home), all staff chat to us and keep us informed of Mum's care. The home has a small garden that will be great for Mum in the spring and summer, as she always enjoyed sitting in her garden. The home has entertainment and staff dress up. I cannot thank the staff enough, for making Mum so welcome and for being so kind. Highly recommended.

I have always been impressed with the expert advice and behaviour of all the staff. They always have a cheerful attitude towards all problems that they can be faced with. My mind is put at rest knowing that my wife is getting the best care that is possible.

This wonderful care home has truly put my faith back to 'there is fantastic care homes out there', as before in the past, doing our homework and visiting, prior to putting my dad, who has dementia and Alzheimer's, we were promised the earth, but now know complete lies and all about profit and definitely not care, but seriously, everyone, including residents were so happy and definitely very, very well cared for at Boars. Was so nice for us too, not to worry about my dad in care and they totally deserve a brilliant review. Would visit and Dad was always immaculate, even on the first day. I said he loves his handkerchief, next day neatly folded into a fab design in his top pocket! All the staff, you are truly amazing, and I do hope it independently stays, how it is. Dad will definitely be back, and it smells fabulous (no air fresheners). Again, a very big thank you for looking after Dad for just over three weeks and treating him like a king and little things, like letting him lay in when he wanted and extra cake. Credit to you all.

My mum has been in the home for just over two years. Had to move her here because of her dementia. The staff are lovely and caring but she has had quite a few things go missing since being here. Mainly her jewellery which cannot be replaced and more recently a pair of glasses costing £149.00 (which actually have her name engraved on them). Last week I had to do her feet, as her toenails were so long they were cutting into her feet. It turns out that no one in the home has seen a Chiropodist since 10th November 2021. That is not good for elderly people!

I cannot express how wonderful all the care staff are at Boars Tye. My dad was given the best care at all points of his time here which was a great comfort to him and myself during the last days of his life. I cannot thank them enough.

Lovely care home, staff have always been available to ask questions. My mother-in-law was well looked after, good food, lovely staff, very caring, lovely at Christmas, beautiful garden area for residents to sit in summer, thank you to all staff.

The owners, management and staff all care passionately about the well-being of the residents at Boars Tye. Special efforts have been made to enable family contact to be maintained whilst adhering to government guidelines throughout the pandemic, which has contributed greatly to the health and welfare of everybody.

My husband has been a resident of Boars Tye since November 2019. From the moment I went to view the home I knew it was the right one. My children and I wanted somewhere that would feel like home and that is exactly what we found. The home has an exceptional team of staff who are simply phenomenal at their jobs. The home is welcoming, homely and certainly doesn’t have a clinical feel about it which I think is so important. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff. All food is prepared and cooked on the premises and the weekly menus are great, lots of choices. The home is set in beautiful gardens with a recently built beautiful summer house for visiting. It also has a bright and airy conservatory at the back of the property overlooking the back garden which in the summer has hanging baskets and tubs full of flowers. On birthdays each resident gets a present and a birthday cake which is lovely. It is evident that the staff love their jobs and have a great team spirit between them.

Both my parents had dementia and we had to move them here as Dad was wandering at night (brought home twice in the back of a police car). Right from the outset, the care shown to Mum and Dad was outstanding, kind but also very professional. Sadly my parents recently passed away, Dad in May and Mum in June; during this sad and stressful time, Boars Tye Residential Home Ltd did all that was possible to ensure that Mum and Dad were cared for with respect and dignity. Indeed, the care given went beyond mere care, it was love. I was able to come and go any time of day or night so as to be able to spend time with Mum and Dad in their last days. Boars Tye also cared for me, insisting on feeding me, even after I had refused anything and making sure that I was okay. I know that if in the future I ever need residential care for myself I should want to come to Boars Tye.

In a thankless world, the staff at this residential care home really do put the emphasis on care. I can honestly say that I was amazed at the quality of care shown to the residents who because of their aliments and age are naturally challenging. I can't praise the team highly enough. The premises were kept immaculate which given that they are a converted farmhouse is no mean feat! Thank you, everyone, at Boars Tye for taking such good care of my mother.
