I want to thank all the staff who have cared for my husband during his stay. The care and concern shown by every member of staff has been without fault. There is a warm caring atmosphere throughout the home, and nothing is too much trouble. Many thanks to the manager and the team!

Since my sister has been a resident at Buxton House, I have visited on many occasions. I have found the staff very approachable and friendly. I like the interaction I have witnessed between staff and residents whilst there. My sister had to have a procedure at Hospital, which meant the staff...
Overall I am very happy with my sister's care.

We also appreciate your comments about the room and will take this into consideration for future improvements. It's lovely to have your support.
All the family where heartbroken to see Mum go into a care home, whereas she has been alot more settled with the help of all the staff, their care and activities. This has eased her anxiety which in turn is helping her Dementia journey, and ours.

Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad to hear that your mum is feeling more settled-it means a lot to us to be part of her journey and support your family.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful and I feel have a genuine care for the residents they look after, I truly believe we could not of found a better care home for our Mum, it was a big decision but definitely the right one.

Thank you Buxton House.
Thank for this heartfelt review I am so pleased to read how you and your siblings feel. I will share this review with the team.

Mum moved in October 2024, from the start she was made to feel very welcome and settled as well as can be expected. I cannot rate the staff highly enough they all know mum and are extremely caring. The activities are good and if she goes to them she does enjoy it although sometimes has to be persuaded to go. The cleanliness is outstanding, both in her room and general areas. Mum enjoys the food and there is a lot of variation. It's very professionally run and I feel totally reassured knowing mum is there and she is safe, well looked after and happy.
Thank you for this 5* review - To read how caring the team are at Buxton House and how welcome you feel really means a lot to the team. Thank you.
We were warmly welcome to Buxton House where my dad was given a large, bright, scrupulously clean ensuite bedroom. It is well decorated and furnished and has a warm homely environment.

We were warmly welcome to Buxton House where my dad was given a large, bright, scrupulously clean ensuite bedroom. It is well decorated and furnished and has a warm homely environment. All the staff have shown great care, compassion and understanding of my dad and his needs. He is now well setled and happy and interacts naturally with the staff and other residents, its lovely to see. The staff have gone to great lengths to give my mum and me lots of support and calm, patient reassurance. About dads day to day care needs, we're both hugely grateful for their professionalism and kindness. I can very confidently recommend Buxton House to anybody requiring dementia care for a loved one.
Thank you for this 5* review - The team at Buxton House will take great pride in reading this review. Thank you
Staff are always happy and polite. My mother is happy with the kindness of the staff and always says the food is nice and the staff are always friendly. The activities are always welcome as she is a bit of a doer despite having mobility issues.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased your mother is happy at Buxton House and is enjoying the food.
My mum has high care needs and one of those is 24-hour available assistance. I am very happy not only with the care but the engagement provided for my mother who is a resident here. There are daily things to do and frequent special events. Best of all, although Mum is encouraged to take part, she...
(Because she is provided for by local authority care, I can't rate the costs.)
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased your mum is happy at Buxton House and that our care meets her needs. Your feedback means a lot and we'll share it with the team.
Thanks!

Thank you for your review. We will share your feedback with the team.
All staff are so very helpful and Mum seems very happy, Mum's room and the home are always very clean and there are plenty of friendly staff whenever we need them. Certainly, the menu for the day's food always looks varied with a great choice.

Unfortunately, after a short stay in hospital, my mum could no longer go home. After looking for a care home, we were, thankfully, allowed for Mum to move there. Mum's dementia is progressing and can be very emotional at times. But the care and respect she is shown is absolutely amazing. Not only...
I'm so happy Mum is at Buxton House.

Our mother went to Buxton House from hospital. We were expecting her to be coming home but unfortunately, this wasn't possible. We were very happy that we managed to get her accepted and she appears to be enjoying being there. The staff are all wonderful and so friendly with not only the residents but the families as well. We can take our mother's dogs in to see her at any time which has been a real bonus.
Thank you for your review - We are so pleased the team at Buxton House have been so welcoming. We will share your comments with the team.
It is difficult as my mother can't see well and cannot stand unaided, so A) she can't see food or drink and B) because of her memory, she can't remember she can't walk and has had three falls, one causing...
I know it is difficult but her clothes keep going missing too!
We're sorry to hear about the challenges your mother is facing and the issue with missing clothing. Please rest assured we'll investigate this right away. The home will contact you directly for more information.
I am always impressed by how friendly all the staff are. It is good to see that they properly know my mother and care sensitively for her.

I began my career with Care South in 2016 as a Care Assistant, and I can honestly say I have never worked for a company so dedicated to encouraging and supporting staff development. With the support of both the Home Manager and the wider organisation, I progressed through the ranks, achieving my Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care, which enabled me to take on the role of Care Team Leader.
I was subsequently promoted to Interim Home Manager, and with continued guidance and encouragement from the company and my Manager, I have now successfully completed my Level 5 Leadership in Adult Care. This journey has equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to effectively support and lead our team here at Buxton House.
Together, as a team, we work in line with our HEART values, ensuring that everyone who comes into the home feels welcome, valued, and supported. At Care South, we pride ourselves on delivering a high standard of care while ensuring that every day is meaningful and enriching for our residents.
