Sadly, she took ill and ended up in A&E, there was no hope of recovery, so she went back home for end-of-life care and care for her they did, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, her care was second to none. The staff loved her like she was their own family.
She was at Bamford for five days until she passed and family were with her all the time. The care and kindness we were given was amazing.
We will never be able to thank them enough for all they have done for Mum and the family.
Thank you so much, Lynn, for your lovely review, I will pass this on to the team, much appreciated.

The member of staff who deals with finances is excellent and keeps very clear records. If funds are running low, she lets us know when a top-up is required.
New clothes are quickly labelled so that nothing gets lost.
The staff really couldn't be any more helpful or kind.
(We do have previous experience of other care homes and this one really is exceptional).
Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated by all the team at Bamford.
I've noticed a really good change to my mum, seems very happy, personal care has improved, more brighter.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. The room is small but the fact that the staff get her 'up and running' during the deal means that it is not a problem.
The activities seem to entertain her very well, she even joins in now.
All in all, I am very happy with the home.

We, as a family, had a very positive time whilst our mum was in Bamford Close. Sadly, she died on 5th August, but the staff were so good. We are a big family, and we stayed with Mum all the time once we realised she was about to die. My sister and her son stayed the night with Mum and one or the other of our family stayed with her all the time. The staff asked us all the time if we needed anything, food or drinks, etc, they really supported us, explaining what was happening, etc.
Thank you for your lovely review; I am so glad you had a good experience at Bamford, and your review is much appreciated by all the team.
My father received end-of-life care. The staff, without exception, treated him with the utmost care and extended that warmth and care to his visiting family. It provided great peace of mind to know my dad couldn't be in a better place or better looked after than he was.

My dad was made to feel so welcome and special as soon as he arrived and I could see him relax and feel safe here. The staff are amazing, treating every one of the residents and each other with warmth and respect. Now, in end-of-life care, I know my dad is loved and cared for tenderly and our wishes, as his family, are fully supported. Thank you Bamford Close.
Thank you for your lovely review, from all of us at Bamford Close. It was a pleasure caring for your dad and so glad you had a nice experience of the home.

The staff couldn't have taken better care of my grandad. They were warm, respectful, and kind during his time in the home and took care of him to the best possible standard. As a family, we were reassured and comforted that the staff at Bamford Close were the ones looking after him, as we knew they would treat him as they would want their own loved ones to be treated. We will always be grateful for everything that was done for him, such a big thank you to all staff involved.

The overall care, support and attention given to my dear mum during her residency at Bamford Close was very good. During her short stay, of only twelve weeks, in the main, was above and beyond my initial concerns of her transition into your care. The majority of carers and all staff thoroughly treated and cared for Mum with the dignity, respect and love she deserved and her sudden passing, unexpectedly, was, I observed, a sincere shock to many of you due to your lovely relationships with Mum. Sadly, the opportunity to attend medically to chesty and fever symptoms documented was not taken on two occasions and that is such a regret now.
Since my mother came into your care around 2020, she has received nothing but great treatment and care from the admin management team, unit supervisors and all members of the care staff. The entertainment is fabulous! Giving them good mental stimulation. Bamford Close is the best, cleanest,...
Since my mother came into your care around 2020, she has received nothing but great treatment and care from the admin management team, unit supervisors and all members of the care staff. The entertainment is fabulous! Giving them good mental stimulation. Bamford Close is the best, cleanest, well-run care home, no mistake, by far.
Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated by us all at Bamford.

We are blessed to have found the home for our Dad to spend his final years. So cared for, so well fed, so entertained. Thanks for the extra special care and dignity during his final week.
If we should ever need to go to a care home this would be our first choice. Bloomin marvellous.

At the end of my mum's life, treated with love, care and dignity. All carers and management could not have done more and also, my feelings were looked after, so kind and calm and helped me get through her passing. The residents helped also.
Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated by all the team at Bamford and caring for your mum was a pleasure.
Bamford Close has given me my life back! Excellent, caring staff - very clean. The residents are happy - music plays a great part in this wonderful care home. It is one big family, and I thank them for their services.
