Mum was very apprehensive about moving into residential care, but the thoughtful and caring staff are so good and patient this made it so much easier. She settled really quickly and loves it. Always clean, tidy and welcoming.

Our mum has settled in very well and says she thinks Buxton House is just like staying in a hotel. Mum seems very happy and that's thanks to the management and staff.
I cannot speak too highly of the staff. The food service was excellent. We hope to be able to come back again.

Moving my nan out of her house and finding a care home for her to spend the rest of her life was both stressful and upsetting for our family - but seeing how happy she is at Buxton House has been a relief to us all.

We are so grateful for every member of staff that shows her such love and kindness. She loves the days out and knitting afternoon. Thank you all for giving my nan a lovely home to live in for the rest of her life.
My mother has been a resident at Buxton House since June 2018. She is extremely happy here. It is a huge relief to the family to find such a lovely care home. The staff are all caring towards my mother and she is always telling us how happy she is living there.

I have been visiting a resident friend at Buxton House for nearly five years and throughout that time I've been very impressed with the high standard of quality care available. There is always a friendly welcome on arrival and the "feel good" factor that permeates all departments is even more evident the longer one stays. Facilities are second to none and it's very obvious that all who work there take great pride in what they do. I have nothing but praise for everybody involved, especially at Christmas when generosity abounds. One never looks forward to life in a care home, but if ever failing health left me with no alternative Buxton House would be my first choice. I have visited many people in many care homes over the years and all others fall short in comparison. Well done!
Myself and my family were very pleased with the care my father received whilst in Buxton House, Weymouth. The staff were always helpful and friendly no matter what time of day we visited my father.

During the course of my father-in-law's stay he was cared for in a friendly, attentive and dignified way, his family were welcomed and made to feel a part of his care. The environment was suitable for his needs bright and clean. Staff were helpful and often went above and beyond.

Having seen how my uncle was treated I think Buxton House is wonderful.

During my husbands stay at Buxton House he, and indeed myself were treated with the utmost respect. The care shown to him was everything I could have wished for and enabled him to end his life in a caring and lovely setting. I will always be grateful.

Excellent facilities and friendly staff. The effort and care applied to my grandfather was amazing. His end of life treatment provided both sensitivity and respect to our family.

I am the next of kin of one of the residents who wishes to remain anonymous. I also have power if attorney over his affairs, although he is very satisfied overall. One very significant aspect is lacking. The food is abysmally poor in nutrition, the meat is always very tough and the stew a mass of...

Care South is grateful for this feedback and the many good areas that have been highlighted. Naturally the feedback on "Food and Drink" is disappointing and of concern. Care South prides itself on offering the highest standards of catering and nutrition across all its homes, and is looking into this individual experience and how improvements can be made. Generally feedback from residents at Buxton House is positive about food and nutrition. If the reviewer would like to contact the Manager of the home directly she would be glad to discuss this matter to ensure that this experience is not repeated.
This care home was wonderful, they looked after my Nan so well, kept her motivated, had her laughing with VE celebrations, and many other activities. If she didn't sleep well she would keep the night nurse company and chat. One young lady even let her brush and plait her hair, which she got such...
This care home was wonderful, they looked after my Nan so well, kept her motivated, had her laughing with VE celebrations, and many other activities. If she didn't sleep well she would keep the night nurse company and chat. One young lady even let her brush and plait her hair, which she got such enjoyment from. The staff go above and beyond in every way, and I can never thank them enough for all their effort, care and work.

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.
