When she fell unwell and the doctor confirmed that she would not recover, her care changed to Palliative Care. I would like to thank the truly wonderful staff at Buxton House and the Community Nurses, all of whom worked as a team, for the heartfelt care shown and practical help that they gave to my mum. I stayed with Mum at home for her last few precious days of life, and this care and compassion were also extended to me. What a privilege it was to be surrounded by such genuine concern. The overall holistic approach shown by this dedicated group of people is truly amazing and my mum could not have been better cared for.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and of course, your five-star review of Buxton House. Your feedback has been shared with the team at Buxton House and will no doubt mean so much to the team.
My sister seems very happy and well looked after, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I am happy to think that my sister is able to remain in such a good environment, which enables her to have help with her anorexia.

Mum has been at Buxton House for over a year now and during that time the staff have been very caring and understanding. The home is always clean and tidy. Mum really enjoys the various entertainment programmes that are laid on, especially the sing-songs. She eats well most of the time and the staff ensure that where appropriate she has plenty of gravy with her meals as well as ice-cream!
Thank you for your lovely comments - I am delighted that your mother is enjoying living with us at Buxton House. Merry Christmas to you all.
Excellent care of my father. He seems to have settled in well and has begun to familiarise himself with his room, the layout and the daily routine. He always appears to be well looked after whenever I visit him.

Cannot imagine any better care home than Buxton House Care Home. My husband was looked after in every way possible and it was also good for me to have peace of mind while we were apart.

My mother has been supported with understanding, professionalism and compassion and all care for her needs has been done with respect and dignity and myself and my family would recommend Buxton House, the manager and the team to anyone considering moving a family member to a care establishment.

I was very happy with my father's stay. I could see when I collected him that he was as happy as I left him. Enjoying the Christmas festivities put on by the staff which I joined in and enjoyed. I would have no hesitation to take him again. Thank you very much all round.

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.
