I cannot praise the staff highly enough. The compassion and care they show to both residents and families are exemplary - nothing is too much trouble. I can never than them enough.

My husband was in Bamford Close Care Home until he passed away in July. The staff and management were absolutely amazing. They cared for him with dignity and love and we, as a family, knew he was cared for 100%. Thank you all.

Within four days we could bring our demented sister-in-law from Brittany to Bamford Close Care Home. All was well prepared, I spent many hours in the home before my sister-in-law came, lots of talking about her life story. Staff extremely friendly, not only to residents but among each other too....
Very positive they assessed her strengths and skills of the demented person. When she came, all knew about her, a lovely welcome, very moving. She's been a week and has settled and feels very well. Thank you all very much!
Thank you for your review, much appreciated by all of us at Bamford Close Care Home.

Mum has been in the care home for a long time and often some minor issues that were rectified swiftly. She is being very well looked after and cared for. Really happy with all who do their best for her.

My mum had lived at Bamford Close Care Home for over 11 years and the majority of her time was enjoyable. The last 16 months have been really good. Unfortunately, she had a stroke on 1st Feb 2023 and was not expected to survive. After a week in the hospital, she was allowed to return to Bamford...
My mum had lived at Bamford Close Care Home for over 11 years and the majority of her time was enjoyable. The last 16 months have been really good. Unfortunately, she had a stroke on 1st Feb 2023 and was not expected to survive. After a week in the hospital, she was allowed to return to Bamford Close and the care she received for the last 5 weeks of her life from all the Bamford staff was just exceptional and very caring. I was so happy she got to spend her last weeks there with staff and friends she knew rather than in the hospital. The home has many activities for the residents and the staff are very caring and professional all at the same time as being very friendly too. The recent management is exceptional and always puts residents first which is what really matters. There is a friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter the building and you can tell there is a good teamwork effort from all the staff. I would highly recommend Bamford Close Care Home.
Thank you, Julie, for your lovely review it means a lot to me and the staff and it was an honour and pleasure taking care of your mum. She will be missed by all at Bamford.

On the 28th of November, we called to see a friend who has been moved to Bamford Close Care Home. We found the facilities to be overall excellent, the cleanliness, the staff and management and the care/support couldn't do enough to help the residents. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Lots of activities, the food and drinks look good, rooms are good, safety and security are good. Overall a great place.

Thanks for your review, we are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the activities and the food on offer at Bamford Close. We are sorry you feel your Nana's items go missing but this is very normal in a busy home, and we are pleased to let you know she has her glasses and dressing gown in her room. The menu boards were purchased by me (the Manager) and I fill these in myself - they were not filled in when I was on annual leave but will ensure they are going forward.
My cousin hated his previous care home and it closed due to it being so bad. He loves this care home and the staff. He has memory and communication problems but not Dementia.

My mum has been at Bamford Close for a few months now, she was reluctant at first, but loves it. She has made lots of new friends with the residents and staff. The staff are amazing, it's like one big happy family. Really impressed with everything.

I have found Bamford Close to be caring, welcoming and stimulating for residents and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The staff are bright and smiley and show compassion and concern. The atmosphere at the open breakfast was just lovely.

My wife has been in several homes. This is the best home she has been in. The care is fantastic and is shown when staff are helping her.
