Over all time Burleigh House Residential Home has 38 reviews.
I lived alone in a rented bedsit flat, from 12/11/1976 until eviction on 2/7/2021; as psychiatric outpatient from June 1978. I've lived at Burleigh House since 18/11/2021, and my life is much better here - than it ever was struggling to survive in the community.
Bed comfortable.
Staff very kind.
The staff and management at Burleigh Court have been wonderful. The care and support he has had since arriving has been wonderful. He is now walking with an aid, is coherent and looks really well.
Staff have gone out of their way to help with his rehabilitation and to support with the exercises set by the physio.
Many thanks for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you are so happy with the care and support provided to your loved one and how their mobility and overall quality of life has greatly improved. It has been our pleasure caring for your loved one - thank you for your kind words.
The interaction we have with the management and day-to-day staff is first-class.
Nothing is too much trouble for them.
We have regular (weekly) visits/calls which are essential to us as a family.
Dear Anthony. many thanks for your kind and supportive words, we are delighted that you are so pleased with both the level of care and support provided to both your loved one and your family. We hope your positive experiences are maintained as we continue to have the privilege of looking after your family member. Many thanks, Mihir.
The care home is a forward-thinking provider. The staff are courteous and caring. We receive regular updates on care user's activities, medical reviews and doctor visits - focussed on well-being.

Dear Fiona. Many thanks for your kind words, it's been our privilege caring for your loved one. Thank you too for your continued support towards both her, our other residents in the home, our staff and our management - we all look forward to your visits with your family. Many thanks, Mihir.
From day one, the staff have been extremely accommodating, making Mum feel very much at home from the start, we have noticed a huge difference in her confidence which is very much due to the staff's help and encouragement. Mum loves the food and has enjoyed taking part in all activities that are on offer.
Dear Sue. Many thanks for your kind words. We are so pleased that Mum is very happy - with the environment, the staff, the food and the activities. It is so very heartening to hear that you have seen a marked improvement in her confidence. Thank you for your kind words towards the staff and the work we all do, it is our privilege to be caring for Mother. Regards, Mihir.
Thank you for looking after our mum/wife.
Dear Ricky, many thanks for your review. We were delighted that Mum settled in so well into the home. It's great to hear the positive comments about our staff and the care provided, it's been our pleasure. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon. Regards, Mihir.

Dear Louise, many thanks for your kind words, it's so reassuring to hear that your friend is so happy within the home and you, yourself, have also felt the same. Please do let us know if you would like any further information from us too, the next time you are in. Many thanks again for taking the time to review. Regards, Mihir.
My relative has now been living at Burleigh House for 6 weeks. I am nothing but impressed with the care he has received. The staff are so friendly and accommodating on every visit, especially towards my children. We are very grateful that we can relax knowing my father-in-law is safe and happy with you. He looks forward to the fortnightly live music entertainment on Fridays and has never eaten so well, so compliments to the chef too.
Many thanks for your kind words. We are delighted that your Father-in-Law has settled in so well into our Home and that this in turn has given you peace of mind. In particular, we are also delighted that he loves the food and all of the entertainment we pride ourselves on. We look forward to your next visit with the children, all are very welcome. Many thanks again - Director.
I was very wary until my first week. I was so impressed by all aspects of my care, but mostly, by the wonderful atmosphere created by the warmth of all the staff. I am now feeling completely at home and very grateful that I was accepted as a permanent resident.
Yours sincerely.
I have been impressed with Burleigh House since my mother moved in. She is thriving in a way she was not at home and has received excellent personal care and exceptional kindness from all staff, many of whom she has formed very strong bonds with. They have introduced her to new craft hobbies and she is enjoying life again after a very difficult period of poor health. I am enormously grateful to everyone to everyone at Burleigh House for enabling my mum to have a safe, secure and stable life. The staff are always welcoming and responsive. I recommend Burleigh House as an outstanding home.
Regards.
My wife has had a troubled time since 2017, probably before this but that is when it became really evident she was suffering from a lot of health issues. We sought help for her but although she went to various care establishments, nobody could get to what was actually wrong with her, having known her for over 50 years I was convinced the main problem was acute anxiety, but I am not a doctor and never try to tell them their job. I was, however, really disappointed when it was decided to place her in Victoria Court, a home for advanced dementia sufferers. We were eventually told she did not have dementia but acute anxiety, then began the long haul to get her where she needed to be and to make good the damage caused by 2 years of misdiagnosis. I cannot thank the manager and one other staff member in particular, enough for the chance they have given her, on what was a very rocky baptism, but they and the wonderful staff worked wonders with her. There is still a way to go, but thanks to the kindness shown we now can hope.
Dear Robert, It has been a pleasure caring for your wife and we are very happy that she has settled in so well into the home. Thank you for your kind words, our staff work hard to provide the right level of care to all of our residents and the change in your wife has been very pleasing to see - we...
I have found the staff and management extremely courteous, kind and sympathetic. The staff are aware of the needs of my husband and encourage him in every way to feel at home. Whenever I or relatives/friends have visited, we are greeted with a smile from the staff and made to feel comfortable. Nothing seems too much trouble. I have never felt uncomfortable asking about my husband's condition and kept up to date with anything concerning his care. Definitely, the best thing I have done placing him in Burleigh House for anyone considering placing a relative in a home, because of their kindness and dedication to the needs of all residents in their care. The staff and management are wonderful.
Thank you very much for your kind words and review, they are much appreciated. We are delighted to hear how well you feel your husband is cared for and we are very pleased with the improvement in his health. Our staff and management team are always here for you both, please do not hesitate in letting us know of anything else we can do. Many thanks.
Burleigh's staff have been so supportive and wonderful to my mum. Burleigh's management has helped me understand what is needed for Mum and her care and have been present around the home, interacting with both visitors and residents. While I have been visiting my mum, the staff at Burleigh, have gone above and beyond to help Mum have a wonderful birthday and really made it a special day for her and her family. I feel blessed that Mum is part of the Burleigh family and wouldn't want anyone else to take care of her.
Thank you for your review and kind words. It has been a pleasure caring for your mum and we value the input you have also provided in her care. We are delighted with the progress Mum has made and our team are very happy to see her health improve. We look forward to your next visit too. Regards.
I would and have recommended Burleigh House. My mother receives the best care.

My mum has Parkinson's disease and it is important she has her medication at set times throughout the day. The staff are excellent at giving mum her medication at the correct times and giving support if needed. Mum has started to have falls and the staff have phoned me each time she has a fall with the reassurance she is ok and the actions they have taken. I am always pleased and confident with the staff's actions and the care she has been given.
It is very pleasing to hear about your satisfaction with the care and support your Mother is receiving. She is a much-loved resident within our Home and a delight for all of our care team to care for her needs.
The love and support you and the family also give...
My father was in Burleigh House for just over a year and this of course was during lockdown until he finally passed away. Not having access to the home I am not able to comment completely on all the facilities available, however, I am more than satisfied with the standard of care my father received, especially towards his end of life and the care shown to my husband and I this was excellent.
We hope you will keep in touch with the Home and that we will see you soon.
Regards
Mihir
