Boars Tye House

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.

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.
