Review from Sarah G (Friend of Resident) published on 2 March 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
It was a shock when my friend was diagnosed with dementia and an even bigger shock when she finally moved to a care home. I was nervous the first time I visited Bernadette House but I needn't have been. The staff are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go way beyond what is actually expected of them. It truly is a 'home away from home' and I appreciate the kindness with which my friends and family are treated.

Review from Lee D (Niece of Resident) published on 15 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My aunt is receiving fantastic care at Bernadette House. The staff don't just look after her, they really care. We arrived with a bird feeder for my aunt so she could watch the birds from her window, only to discover the home have several already. The lady who organises the activities is very nice and it was good to see my aunt painting again like she did when we were children. I can't praise the home highly enough.

Review from Stuart B (Son of Resident) published on 15 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
From day one, mum has been looked after with exceptional care and compassion by the wonderful staff at Bernadette House. As her condition has deteriorated and altered during her stay, her needs have always been reassessed and catered for in an extremely professional and caring manner.
My main comments would be regarding the staff at Bernadette House. The genuine care they show for mum is far above the "call of duty". Often when we visit, there is someone sitting with mum, doing paperwork or some other task, which could easily be done elsewhere. They choose to do it where they can keep mum company, which is really nice.
When mum was really poorly a few weeks ago, the genuine concern of the staff was very touching and you get a strong impression that it is not just a job for them.
I can not recommend this place highly enough.

Review from Peter A (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum and Dad needed residential care when Mum developed Dementia at the age of 90 - Dad was already 93 - and we were lucky to find Bernadette House, a professional care home, tucked away close to us near the centre of Lincoln.
The atmosphere at Bernadette House is what matters, and that's down to the people who work there - they are genuinely caring. It was the right place for our parents - the three years they lived there until they died were characterised by much love, patience and thoughtfulness from the staff. As a visiting family, we also felt very much supported and cared for by everyone. We shall miss our daily contact which has been such an important part of our lives for the last three and a half years.

Overall Experience
I have been visiting my friend who is a resident at Bernadette House for past couple of months. I am always impressed by the care she receives. Her health is improving and she is very well looked after. The food and activities are good and she enjoys being with the other residents. I look forward to visiting her as I don't feel I'm in the ways and the home is very clean.

Review from John S (Friend of Resident) published on 17 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Attended an Easter Party. Staff were caring, friendly and some came in on their day off to help. Lovely buffet for all. Our friend had lunch another day three courses on proper china plates. Our friend is looking forward to summer to sit in the gardens. They spend sunny days playing games outside. We took him out the other day and he was dressed lovely, shaved and ready for the time we said. He has put on weight and looks well and says he is happy.

Review from Paul M (Grandson of Resident) published on 15 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We have been asked for input with regard to the care plan. An Easter Party was arranged and attended by family, it was really lovely. The home is in the process of being re-decorated the rooms already done are lovely. The meals all home cooked and choice is given. The staff go that extra mile to help residents make the transition between home and Bernadette House. The home does not smell. They welcome my children and the dog too.
