Since early 2024 I have been a regular visitor. Gill was a reluctant resident, but settled quickly and loves to help the others whenever possible. Facility improvements caused much disruption, but the care staff coped very well. The Chefs produce lovely food and memorable celebration cakes!!...

My wife joined Borovere from another care home on 18th June. On arrival we were given a warm welcome by management and staff, since then my wife has been cared for by the staff with excellent care and kindness.

I visit once a week with my therapy dog. I love going and she does too. The staff are amazing and give me a free rein now to go to the rooms of the residents that I know would like to see Willow. I hear that the food is fantastic and when coffee/tea comes round in the morning the biscuits look...
I think maybe the only thing I would mention is the outdoor space, if more could be made of that it would be the absolute perfect place.

Borovere Care Home has provided exceptional support for my mum since she arrived in May. The staff's kindness in helping her settle in has been outstanding, especially given her challenges with dementia. Paulina's amazing energy, Hayley's unbelievable kindness, and Michelle's straightforward approach have been invaluable in making her feel at home. Although the transition was not easy, the staff's dedication to maintaining her dignity has been remarkable. The entertainment, featuring 60s pop music, is delightful and engages the residents meaningfully. The social media updates keep me connected, and the team's reassurance has made this difficult decision much easier for our family. Highly recommended

Mom moved into Borovere in November 25 and from the initial super warm welcome to now the staff have been absolutely fabulous. Mom was previously in another care home in another part of the country so have a direct comparison and cannot praise Borovere highly enough. She settled in very quickly, she has put weight on and really enjoys her food. She is on a puréed diet and the effort to keep the meal elements looking different to tempt her appetite is very welcome. They even made her a birthday cake this week with strawberries and cream and puréed her piece so she could enjoy it and made her feel very special. A special mention should be made about Andy and the activities team as there is something happening every day and this makes such a difference. Very happy with the choice to move Mom to Borovere and cannot fault her care.

Mum has been in Borovere care home for 4 years and 8 months and I can honestly say that during that time, all of the staff are lovely and treat and support Mum very well. She often comments to me that she is happy in the care home and everyone is so nice to her so I shouldn't worry about her. There are staff who are responsible for providing a program of activities for the residents, which they do with enthusiasm. Mum is encouraged to join in with the activities, or when she prefers, she can stay in her room. There is no pressure either way. The grounds and building are maintained very well. During the time that Mum has been there, there has been a program of improvements which include replacing the carpet in the main lounge to installing fencing around the grass area to make it secure for the residents, as well as many other improvements. Mum has had two operations while being a resident in the home and both times the care home have done all they can to care for her on her return.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments, its always nice to hear good things especially when someone has been with us for a while. I shall pass your kind words on to the staff as I know they will appreciate the feedback.
