Boars Tye House

A friendly, accommodating, understanding, and communicative setting with staff who all appear keen at every level and in every role to explain their methods and culture in providing the necessary care and support to residents and family alike.

If I knew how caring the staff was, I would have looked at Dad coming here sooner. This is not just a job for everyone that works here. They really do care and made my Dad feel so special and loved. The home-cooked meals so tasty and Dad not being made to do things. He loved that if he wanted to go and have a sleep, then he could. Really made me feel that he was in good hands and took so much pressure from me and made sure he was looked after in every way possible.

I contacted Boars Tye Residential home in March as my Mother cared for at home 24/7. Those carers came from abroad and wanted to return. I was able to place my Mum in this home, it is near where I live. Unfortunately, lockdown kicked in and I, sensibly, have not been able to visit. But contact by phone has been helpful and weekly updates a bonus. Nothing is too complicated. We zoomed for her 101st Birthday. All excellent. Thank God.

After a few weeks, it was clear his condition was improving with the company and the care he was experiencing, the Dementia had increasingly made him withdrawn, but seeing him more like his old self as the weeks went by was a delight. Clearly the training the staff receive made them well prepared for all the challenges Dementia and Alzheimers throws up. Meals were all home-cooked and delicious, Dad certainly put on weight in his time there. The rooms were kept spotless and the residents smartly dressed. Most importantly, Dad was happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Boars Tye.

My uncle was having home care which wasn't enough for him and resulted in him having a stay in hospital as he had become withdrawn and wasn't eating properly. Since he has been at Boars Tye his health has definitely improved, he enjoys the company and the lovely home-cooked food. He has told me he feels safe and comfortable where he is and wishes he had moved in sooner.

Boars Tye House is very 'homely' and my father has soon settled in. Staff are professional and friendly. Any needs of my father have been taken care of swiftly. All areas are kept clean and safe and the freshly cooked food is amazing. The gardens are well kept. I am very happy with the care my father has received so far.

I'm impressed by the low turnover of staff and the way in which the Management invests in regular staff training. My Dad loves the food, it's excellent home cooking and clearly has a great rapport with the team.

The care staff are very obliging and caring towards my mother. My mother is very happy here. She appreciates the home-cooked food. Very pleasant surroundings.

My mum has been a resident at this marvellous home since the beginning of July. She needed constant care following a mental breakdown so bad that she was unable to function on a daily basis. 5 weeks on she is a different person this I believe is totally down to the incredible care she has received from the amazing hard working staff. Nothing is too much trouble for any staff member who all work together as a team. They are giving me my lovely mum back and for that, I am truly grateful. If I was able to give this home 10 stars it wouldn't be enough.

My mother has been at Boars Tye since early March 2019. All staff seem very happy in their work, therefore, creating a wonderful atmosphere for the residents and visitors alike. The kitchen provides nourishing meals and if not to the service users liking they will prepare what they ask for, nothing seems to be too much trouble. All the staff seem to multi-task, including management, covering for illness or holidays. The training is on-going covering all aspects of care. Although my mother would, naturally rather be in her own home she realises that she needs care and is quite happy where she is, this to me is the most important thing as if mum's happy then I can relax knowing she is being well looked after.

The food is very good and home cooked (no microwave meals). Mum just says what she would like, nothing is too much trouble to prepare for her. I visit 3 or 4 times a week, often before I have sat down, my usual cup of coffee has been brought to me. My Dad has enjoyed meals with Mum at no extra bother to the staff, who always encourage him to do so. Her bedroom is pleasant and has everything she needs. The lounge is spacious and comfortable and staff are often sitting with residents, chatting about things they have enjoyed doing in the past and helping where needed with feeding and drinking. Even at busy times the staff and management make time for a smile and a wave and Mum always has a little smile and wave back. The home is nice, clean and comfortably warm with a pleasant view of the garden through the big windows in the lounge.

Good comfortable home where the staff are so friendly and the food really lovely. Can't imagine a better place for my dear wife to be.

My Auntie is well looked after by all the staff. She is always clean and tidy and I can't thank the staff enough for looking after her so well. She loves the food and enjoys it, especially the desert- she does love her cakes. Keep up the good work Boars Tye staff.

We cannot visit our mother often because we all live overseas, but when we go, often for periods up to a month or more, we can see that our concerns and worries for our mother are a major priority. Thank you, Boars Tye, we are truly grateful.

My mother has been cared for with compassion and dignity. The staff are all very caring and patient. Nothing is too much trouble. Food is excellent, rooms are very pleasant with modern beds, pressure mats, alarm systems etc. Visitors are made welcome, the staff and management go the extra mile to help whenever they can.

Mum has been in Boars Tye for two years. Outstanding, excellent care. Nothing is too much trouble. Open and ready to listen. You can visit at anytime without notice. The staff really care and are always interacting with the residents. Plenty of entertainment and activities. Food again excellent, plenty of choice. The home is bright, clean, cosy and above all a very safe and secure environment. We are informed at once if there are any problems. Look no further if you need a full time care home or respite care.

Thank you Boars Tye for everything you do.

On my visits to Boars Tye, the staff are always very busy but always very attentive to the residents and visitors. The home has a nice homely atmosphere. Staff stop to talk to residents and spend time with them. Nothing seems to be too much. Regular tea and biscuits and fruit brought around. Very clean and constantly being cleaned. Overall a very nice home. The residents themselves often comment how well they are looked after which speaks volumes.

My Mum has been in Boars Tye for about four years and I’ve been extremely happy with the care that she receives. The staff are always considerate and caring and do everything for her. The staff do an excellent job caring for her.

It was with dread that I realised in 2015 that my husband was going to require full-time care, as I could no longer manage at home. I started my search and was struggling to find a home that I considered suitable and was of the standard I required for him. In many homes that I viewed as soon as I entered, I knew it was unsuitable but with Boars Tye, I immediately felt like I was entering a real home. I love the way the staff interact with all residents and of course my husband and most importantly he is treated with respect and dignity. It is bad enough when you have to place a loved one into care, but I do not have to worry that he will be merely be a job as the staff are always ready to have a laugh and joke with him and join in with his music! My husband still being treated as a person is the most important thing to me, but Boars Tye provide that and much more. In addition, the support they have given me has been wonderful.
