Boucherne

My mother was no longer able to live at home in safety after much research we decided to try Boucherne. Everything has gone extremely smoothly and both the home and its staff have been wonderful. My mother has settled in more quickly and happily than we could have hoped into the homely atmosphere. I would like to thank both the owners and staff for the kind, individual attention they've given my mother.

I cannot thank the manager and her team enough for the excellent care they all provide. I know she is 110% looked after. From the moment she arrived, she was treated like one of the family. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend the Boucherne to anyone whose loved one can no longer look after themselves in their own home. The decor is lovely and clean and the gardens are just gorgeous. Food is freshly prepared and a glass of wine with her lunch or dinner. I have already told my children, this is where I would be happy should I ever needed looking after. The Boucherne is more like a home from home and once again I would never look anywhere else for a loved one to be cared for. The excellent service they provide is outstanding.

Boucherne managed to keep Covid 19 at bay until the very last minute, and have been meticulous in keeping the residents safe. The staff have been exceptional in going the extra mile and are always friendly and helpful.

My Mum has been resident at Boucherne for 4.5 years and I have always been entirely happy with her care. All the staff are so lovely with all the residents; they are treated with respect and love at all times. Boucherne is an old farm house and has a cosy family feel which Mum loves. The food is nutritious and wholesome just like Mum used to cook for us! All residents if able, are encouraged to walk to the dining rooms for breakfast, lunch and dinner giving them the all important exercise they need. I would be more than happy to recommend this marvellous home to anyone.

My mum has lived at Boucherne for over seven years and we are so happy that she made that choice. The staff are lovely, endlessly patient people, devoted to making every resident feel supported and contented. Home-cooked meals every day keep everyone healthy and well-fed, and individual requirements and preferences are always catered for. Obviously, this last year has been an enormous challenge for the owners, manager and staff, but they have coped magnificently, putting in many long hours with encouraging words and smiles to allay residents anxieties, even when the going has been extremely tough. We have missed being able to pop in every couple of days to visit Mum and catch up with everyone (they do feel like part of the family) but we've been kept fully up to date with all developments via email and phone call and have been able to enjoy suitably distanced visiting throughout the year.

I'm not one to leave reviews, but this was a must! The care my grandad received at Boucherne was nothing short of superb. The attention to detail and care the residents get is first class. I could not say a bad word about Boucherne, from the management to staff, cleaners; everyone is so welcoming. For all the care my grandad received, I will be forever grateful.

Lived in a retirement flat in the same area, came here from the hospital - from then until now; very happy. Care and company very friendly and sure this will continue. I am not very active by choice.

My Aunt loves it at the Boucherne; we are so lucky she is here and not somewhere else. The Boucherne is homely, the staff are friendly, welcoming and create a warm atmosphere. As others have said, nothing is ever too much trouble - the care she receives is first rate. There are many activities/trips to get involved in, whilst my Aunt is able to keep her independence. It doesn't feel at all like a care home, just a home - which is a good thing.

Finally, I will say, if I ever need to go into a care home in later life, if it's half as good as the Boucherne, I'd be more than happy.

A loving, caring home.

Our father spent 3 years at Boucherne during which time he was extremely well looked after by the incredibly kind, caring and professional staff who always had time for him and his individual needs. He was encouraged to continue with outside interests as long as he was able. The end of life care he received was wonderful and as a family we were always involved.

My mother entered this care home mid April 2016 and was very much against being put here, in a quite aggressive way. Our family were very concerned as she is 96 years old and we had spent a considerable amount of time finding the right place for her as there are no other alternatives because of family situations. She is now a very very happy person, she loves it there. Everyone is so kind and helpful, the staff are brilliant, the food great, lots of activities and mum has the run of the garden, which she loves, it is home.

The staff are amazing, always cheerful, and make no fuss over doing anything. The owner spends most of his time ensuring standards are maintained. There are activities organised every week and regular outings. All food is cooked at home and mum eats in her room by choice, which they make no fuss over. I live close and visit at all hours, it's always friendly and hospitable, can't fault it.
