Bushell House

My father was a resident at the home from the beginning of November 2019 until the middle of January 2020. During his stay, the staff at the home looked after him very well, his health and mobility improved until he suffered a set back in early January. During the last couple of weeks of his stay when he became unwell, the management and carers showed great compassion and understanding with the family. Thank you for looking after Dad during this difficult time.

Bushell House provides quality care for residents. Residents have their own rooms; these are often large with high ceilings and very spacious. It really is a 'home from home' especially when residents bring a few choice items of furniture with them. There are a large garden and summerhouse to sit in during the summer months - ideal to be sitting outside with a cup of tea, a book from the library and one of the chef's cakes to sample. There are activities put on and plenty of walking opportunities in the grounds. All of the staff are most friendly and have pride in their work. Bushell house has an industrious house manager and deputy manager supported by an excellent administrative team. Those on the Board of Trustees take an active interest in the views of residents and often spare the time to have a chat. I was looking for a residential home of distinction to care for my mother over the last two years and Bushell House more than met the criteria.

I cannot recommend Bushell House enough the staff and the care she received was fantastic she was treated with kindness and respect. Unfortunately mum died eight weeks after my father. But the care and compassion showed to her and to us her family was excellent. I cannot thank them enough.

Communication with us was excellent. I count myself very fortunate that my father was able to enjoy such a pleasant last year of his life.

Her dignity was maintained throughout this difficult period. They also looked after family members during visits offering food and drink when required.

Thank you!

My mother came to Bushell House after 2 previous homes. This is by far the best in every way. She has been here over 12 months and has been very happy and well cared for.

The food is good and we may choose to have meals in our rooms, or in the dining room with the other residents.

My mother has been a resident at Bushell House since March 2015. She is looked after by caring staff who treat her with dignity. She is almost 99 years old and is not ambulant without assistance. Her food is superb with choices for every meal. Well prepared, cooked and presented by experienced chefs, it is served in the dining room and I have even been invited to eat with my mother and other residents which was lovely.

Staff are qualified and guided through relevant NVQ levels and it shows. Activities are provided for those that want them. No one is pressurised and my mother, even at her age, states 'this is my home'. Nothing is too much trouble for staff and I cannot praise them enough. Qualified medical staff are also provided rapidly if required, by a local medical centre.

The surroundings are beautiful and gardens are extremely well kept. Residents can sit out in, or at the summer house in warmer months. Well done everyone at Bushell House.

My mother was a resident for just over two years until her passing 14/5/16. Throughout this time she received wonderful care and attention from all at Bushell House. Particularly towards the end when they went out of their way to ensure that her last days were as comfortable and peaceful as possible. Our family cannot praise Bushell House higher and are so grateful for their superb care.

I cannot speak highly enough of this home.

My mother has been a resident in Bushell House for three years and loves living there. It is set in the heart of Goosnargh village and feels part of the community. The staff provide wonderful care and the home is friendly and welcoming. I cannot speak too highly of it.

Prior to vising Bushell House I had visited many care homes in a search for accommodation for my aunt. I have to say that I cannot praise Bushell House highly enough. The staff provide care not because it is their job but because they have genuine human compassion for all of the residents. The facilities are excellent, the management are wonderful and services are provided with respect and a caring smile. I would highly recommend Bushell House to anyone.

My aunt has been in the care home for four years. The home cannot be faulted. It is welcoming as soon as you walk through the front door. The corridors are always clean, well decorated and displayed with fresh flowers. The management are always doing refurbishments, decorating to keep it up to date. The staff are always helpful in many ways. The entertainment, activities are also well organised. Every occasion in the year is always a pleasure to attend. Residents birthdays are also celebrated. The food served is excellent. The management run the home with extinction. Lastly, the grounds and gardens are kept immaculate, with excellent maintenance staff.

We took her to a care home which we found to be totally unsuitable for her as most of the residents had moderate to severe dementia and mum had no one to talk to apart from the staff. We then tried 2 more care homes which again were totally unsuitable, then we contacted Bushells House and someone came to assess mum, she passed with flying colours and was in Bushells House within a few days, we haven't looked back and I no longer worry about her care.
