Thank you to all at Engleburn for making this possible.
You are a very welcome part of our family. Your husband is a very lucky man to have such a kind, caring and loving wife. Your visits are very welcomed and you feel like one of the team xx Thank you for your kind help xx
Our family were very concerned that our dad had moved away from his home town. However, the care, respect, and overall experience at Engleburn is 2nd to none. We cannot fault it in any way. Our dad always looks clean, tidy and happy, which is all we want for Dad. We recommend Engleburn on social media and verbally if anyone asks. We can turn up at any time unannounced, and always find the same high quality of care. Well done, Engleburn, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for your kind words and praise xx
The outside garden tea room us uplifting and comforting place to visit.
The staff are kind and caring which makes a big difference to the whole experience.
Thank you for your kind words. We do appreciate that coming into a care home is a very difficult time for all and if we can make this even a little bit easier we strive to do this. Thank you x
5 star - Brilliant - So confident Brom is being well looked after - Cafe in ground is a genius idea - Staff way beyond first class - Thanks for your care.
The cafe was built during Covid and has been a huge added bonus for our residents & Visitors, open 7 days a week
My partner has been at Engleburn since Jan 2025. In my partner's own words she says all of the staff are very caring and helpful and generally on the whole if there are any problems they are normally dealt with immediately or there abouts.
That's lovely to hear. Its great to have the views of family but even better from the person living here. Caring and helpful are lovely words and our staff team work very hard to ensure this.
All staff, from management to carers to maintenance are smiley and busy. Entrance clean, clear and bright. Communal areas clean and clear. Dedicated unit for dementia residence well staffed with management, carers, activities coordinators and domestic staff. A busy and tough environment. Residents well cared for, addressed polity and respectfully. Needs met. All areas clean and tidy.
Thank you that's lovely to hear. We have an amazing team that we are very proud of x
Mum is well looked after here.
Thats lovely to hear. What better could we ask for? Thank you x
The team a good and very helpful. That are easy to talk to regarding any concerns we may have regarding care or any other issues. The Home has good facilities and have plenty of activities for the residents
Thank you that's lovely to hear. We do try very hard with activities and employ a team that provide over 340 hours of activities per week in the home. We have the addition of a fully functional tea rooms on site that has also added great facility to meet up and enjoy a coffee and cake.
I can honestly say the my Dad is very happy and content at Engleburn. The staff are friendly, kind and helpful. He has been a resident for several years and during this period if I have had any concerns, questions or I'm just generally worried about anything the members of staff are always there to assist and resolve these situations.
Thank you that's lovely to hear. We have an amazing team, who I can honestly say are just the best. Dad is a delight to care for xx
Lovely care home. The staff are brilliant. Dad is a long term care resident and regards Engleburn as his home. Staff are always warm and friendly when we visit, feel very happy leaving my dad in their care.
Thank you for your kind words. Dad is indeed a very cherished resident & it is so lovely to work closely with you all. x
From the first day the staff were amazing and really understood Mum's needs. We received regular updates in a calm and respectful manner
Each and every member of staff made us feel so welcome and supported us at all times with their kindness
Unfortunately Mum passed away in December 2025 but we can honestly say that she had the best and happy times while she was at Engleburn - we will always be truly grateful
We can't recommendEngleburn enough - your loved one will be looked after so well and treated as part of the Engleburn family
Such lovely word and such a pleasure to have played a small part in making life easier for you all. Mum was a very welcomed part of Engleburn and missed dearly. Take care x
My mum has been a resident for almost 5 years. Sadly she passed away very recently. I can't thank the staff enough for their care and kindness whilst mum was there. She was extremely happy. The way they all treated us leading up to mum's passing was without doubt brilliant. At some points there were 16 of us as we're a large family but the staff constantly brought us drinks and continued caring for mum. After she passed two lovely carers dressed her and then presented her with a beautiful single rose. Such empathy. We as a family can only praise the staff and give them our sincere heartfelt thanks for everything.
This brings tears to my eyes. Looking after mum for 5 years brought us many lovely memories and many laughs. The relationship with her lovely family made it so much easier she was very lucky to have such a lovely family. The pleasure indeed was all ours. She will be sadly missed by all in the home. Thank you for all of your support and for your lovely words. x
The Engleburn care home staff were wonderful and caring. I spent seven hours at my father's bedside over two days and witnessed first hand the care and attention the staff gave my father, making sure he was comfortable, turning him regularly, cleaning him and feeding him. All the staff I met had a cheefull and happy demeanour and seemed very competent and capable. The home seems very efficiently run, professionally and calmly managed and well maintained.
In all my visits over the past 4 years I have only ever seen happy and cheerful staff and well cared for and contented residents. There always seems to be something happening to engage the residents such as games, activities and outings. My father is now doing better and is out of his bed. A big thank you to all the Engleburn team!
Lovely is all I can say. We have an amazing team and I am very humbled to hear such lovely words. We know this is the care expected for all of our residents at Engleburn, but it is so lovely to hear someone else's views as well. Thank you and the pleasure is all ours.
My dad is a permanent resident here in the Foxholes unit as he has advanced dementia. The staff are incredible, so patient and caring and really understand my dad's needs even though he can't communicate. They keep me updated at all times on any changes to his care or condition and I am extremely pleased with the service they provide. I would recommend Engleburn to anyone and I trust them to look after my dad in the best way possible.
Thank you for your kind words. They really are a beautiful team of staff who care so much for all of their residents. It really makes life easier when we have such a lovely, thoughtful and inclusive family. Thank you x
It was our diamond wedding in August, and the management funded a party for close relatives/friends in their lovely cafe, for which they would take no payment.
Although sadly, Christine understood nothing of the occasion, our guests all left suitably impressed.
Absolutely amazing, what can I respond to those lovely words. The pleasure is all ours and Christine is lucky to have such a beautiful family xx
My Mum is a resident of Foxholes at Engleburn, she is supported & encouraged to live as full a life as possible by staff who care and show kindness and understanding. As a family we have been given compassion and help to understand the changes that Mum is experiencing.
Thank you that's absolutely lovely to hear. It makes our jobs very much easier when we work with such supportive lovely families. Regular reviews give the ability to discuss absolutely anything that changes or anything new that has come up. Thank you for your continued support x
My Mum is now into her 6th year at Engleburn in Foxholes and I would just like to say a huge thank you to all for the wonderful care my Mum is receiving. There have been one or two health scares but they have looked after her so well she has overcome. The team are excellent at keeping me up to date with progress by telephone and the quarterly reviews are very productive in discussing any needs Mum may have. Obviously over the time Mum has been there, her needs have changed but it has been dealt with seamlessly for her. The activities they do with residents are great and they have lots of outings and Mum thoroughly enjoys herself. They really have a great Christmas time too. The Summer Garden party is great too and is always so well attended by relatives. I like the feel of Engleburn as it is a cosy home and would have no hesitation in recommending this Care Home. Once again, thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. Working with both Mum and yourself is a pleasure and she is lucky to have such a lovely caring daughter. Six years is a long time and you have probably seen some changes, all for the better I hope. Here's to many more years working together xx
I am very happy with the way they look after my husband he seems very settled staff are all very friendly kind and caring the care is 100% they always make you feel welcome when you visit I only have praise for the home and staff and my whole experience so far as been very positive excellent communication.
Thank you that is lovely to hear. We try hard to make a difference to everyone's day residents and relatives and make things easier if at all possible. A smile an a happy face goes a long way x
Very happy with the extra activities that are provided, taking the residents out, they look so happy. All the staff I have spoken with have been so helpful and caring.
Thank you, it is lovely to hear. We have an amazing activities team, and our clients definitely do not get time to be bored.
The Engleburn Care Home has shown that all the staff employed here are so caring, and engaged with a professional commitment to all of the residents. I have been so impressed with the level of care including activities for the residents, keeping them occupied and interested in day-to-day life at Engleburn. I have nothing but good feelings towards all those who work so hard.
Thank you for your kind words. Honestly this client makes us smile or laugh every single day. The pleasure is most definitely ours.
