Placing dad into a care home was a very hard decision but one that had to be made. I was quite nervous about the process but Donna came to meet me and Dad at the house and instantly calmed any nerves. She was very professional but also really lovely with dad. The process of settling him in couldn't...
It took a little while but all the staff ensured he settled in and he is the happiest he been in a long time.
Thank you to all at Bafford house for making this process as smooth as possible.

My Mum in law was a resident at Bafford for 3 years before she passed away in March 2026. The care she received was wonderful. She was very fond of the carers and they honestly treated her like family. They always made us feel welcome and the 3 nights I stayed there before Mum passed I was made to feel at home. Nothing was ever too much trouble and Mum was always beautifully clean. The team honestly made her last 3 years so happy. It was so comforting to know that she was safe and well looked after. The gardens are beautiful and Mum loved to sit out in the summer. Mums room was cosy and well taken care of. All of the staff make the effort to get to know the families by name and there's a real family atmosphere. We can honestly never thank them enough for everything they have done for Mum and I will continue to pop in even though Mum is no longer with us.
The team at Bafford House give superb care and empathy with all of our Residents and families.
You will always be welcome to pop in and say hello.

My wife started a 4-week respite stay last week. From the time of my first visit, much to my delight, my wife appeared absolutely at home, happy, totally relaxed, with a good appetite and all reports regarding sleep and taking medication couldn't be better. My thanks to the owner, manager and all staff for the care and attention, and especially for putting my mind at rest at a very difficult time.
Thank you for your positive feedback and support. This is our first review for Bafford House and myself, Nicky and the great team of staff we have are very pleased.
