My mother moved into Bickham House in the spring. We were initially concerned at how well she would get on but she has settled in remarkably well as the staff assured us she would. My mother is always complementary about the staff and the food. The entertainment programme seems excellent; we're kept informed about what's going on and I have many videos of mum dancing around the lounge to various live singers. She has people to talk to but can take herself off if she wishes. From what we have seen, the staff are kind, caring and treat the residents with dignity. Thank you so much for ensuring mum is so well looked after.

My mum was a resident at Bickham for ten months. Her care was 100%. The staff were always cheerful, professional, efficient, kind, but stern, when necessary, and provided the warmth, and sincere care families so desperately want for their loved ones to be looked after. Bickham truly deserves the name of a caring environment for all loved ones. Thank you all so much for caring, so sincerely, for my Mum.

Our step-father has been at Bickham House for several months and I have been very impressed with the care he receives. The staff are both knowledgeable and very caring and go above and beyond to ensure the residents are very well looked after. They take great pride in the food they offer and the menu is varied. I think the care is first class. Thank you to four members of staff in particular and the rest of the team for everything you do - it is much appreciated.

My mother has lived at Bickham House for six years. She has always been happy there. She loved her rooms and the staff and thought the food was wonderful. My mother has had Alzheimer's disease for the last three years, she was always cared for kindly and with dignity in December 2024. She had a bad stroke and went to hospital. The manager agreed that Mum could remain and was cared for lovingly and carefully by the excellent staff. I couldn't have wished for better care. At the end, she was able to pass away in her own bed, cared for by staff she knew. I was treated with love and compassion. Words cannot express our thanks. Bickham House, management and staff are excellent.
All of the staff go above and beyond to ensure that Mum is cared for and comfortable.

Dad has Alzheimer's and moved to Bickham House from hospital/his own flat. Dad has settled in extremely well and is happy there. I find all the staff very approachable and they work very hard to look after all the residents in a cheerful, kind and caring way. We really appreciate this. There is a family atmosphere and it feels like a home. The food is great, Dad seems to really enjoy his meals. There are activities every day and a lovely, newly refurbished lounge to sit in. Dad is always clean and dressed.
Bickham House has provided first-rate care and support for my mother over a year period. Staff and management combine a strong sense of duty with genuine compassion for the residents. Food is cooked on the premises and the wonderful terrace and gardens provide tranquility.

We feel very lucky that we managed to place both of our parents in Bickham House Care Home. Their individual needs are rather complex. Mum has advanced Parkinson's disease and Dad cannot walk after a stroke. The staff make every effort to understand and meet these needs. My parents are very happy....
We feel very lucky that we managed to place both of our parents in Bickham House Care Home. Their individual needs are rather complex. Mum has advanced Parkinson's disease and Dad cannot walk after a stroke. The staff make every effort to understand and meet these needs. My parents are very happy. The building itself and gardens are beautiful and the food is excellent but overall, it's the staff who go above and beyond that make Bickham House a truly exceptional care home.
Bickham House and its staff are the best. Mum has been there for over five years, and it has made such a difference to all our lives - we dont have to worry about Mum being on her own; she is looked after so well and is happy.
