Overall Experience4.0 out of 5
My sister has lived in James Burns House for several years now. After the change of moving from the family home, she has settled into James Burns very well. I could not have asked for more. The staff are very caring and look after my sister as I would wish. She was made very welcome when she first arrived
and feels quite at home now. The residents do not spend their time sat in a circle (unlike some places) but are entertained to their abilities, and when they are not in lockdown they are taken out on trips e.g. beach visits with a beach hut, theatres and shows, plus shopping trips and several more. Their rooms can be decorated as you wish and give some privacy if wanted. I must say that lockdown has been a credit to all the staff and the manager. They have followed strict rules throughout, to keep all residents safe. Not one resident has caught the virus! I feel this is good management and care. I recommend James Burns House as suitable for loved ones.

My sister moved to James Burns House nearly 2.5 years ago from West Sussex. From the moment we had the first viewing to the present day, the atmosphere at the home has been fantastic. The staff at the home have barely changed which is testament to how good a team I think they are. We have got to know
some staff better than others but all the staff seem dedicated to making the residents life as normal and enjoyable as it can be. We visit my sister quite often and the staff update us on anything we should know and if we can’t get there, they maintain communication with us via phone calls if necessary. My sister has had some troubled years prior to moving to Bournemouth but these are now becoming a distant memory. She has settled into James Burns House very well and we are delighted with the services the care home provides. I would wholly recommend them to anyone.

James Burns House is a fantastic home. The care provided is brilliant and the carers generally love the residents like family. The home is all on one level which makes for easy access and movement for the residents. The bedrooms recently have been refurbished and from what I believe the social areas
are being refurbished too, this is good as the home was becoming dated. The home is clean, the food is good, the care given is fab and generally, all in all, I feel happy with everything.

My son has a rare brain disease and was looking for a care home for him.
Called and spoke to the team leader who was so lovely and invited me to visit the home, have a look around etc.
The Care home straight away had a lovely feel to it, literally like home.
She invited me to bring my son along
on another visit. We met the Deputy Manager, who was lovely too, my son really liked it, and didn't take long for him to choose his room! Clear to me some of the staff have worked there for years. Met the manager as well who again was very welcoming.
My son has been there now over one year, and loves it there! He is so happy, so cared for, an absolutely fantastic home. Any issues are always addressed, especially at the beginning when my son was settling in.
For everyone, it has been an unsettling time through Covid, but the home has done all it can to keep me visiting my son when safe to do so. The home to date has not had one case of covid! as its run and managed so well and efficiently.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
