My mum recently passed away at the Borrins aged 102. She was there for more than 2 years and I'm sure she would not have reached this age without her stay here.
I can't fault the care she has had. All the staff have been very caring and looked after my mum who was very much an individual, right to
the end.
I am very grateful to them all.

My wife recently left The Borrins Care Home, after spending over two months there following medical treatment for serious bone injuries. The home is a well adapted large Tudor style building in a peaceful and leafy part of Baildon. It is clean, well decorated and furnished. There is a pleasant, settled
'homely' feel to the place. This is due to thoughtful and effective management and to the obvious dedication of the staff. During the time that my wife spent there she felt contented, comfortable and well cared for. As a regular visitor I appreciated the warm welcome that was always extended to me. This is an excellent care home!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum moved in to the Borrins Care home in Oct 2023. She quickly settled in and I can say she saw The Borrins as 'home'. Mum wasn't cared for by staff, she was cared for by 'friends'. Whilst we are a close family, these friends became an extension of her daily social life, with wonderful interaction and
humour. The Borrins may not be a modern care home but the exceptional and attentive time given to mum was invaluable. What use are the newest and latest facilities, if it doesn't have compassion.


In her last couple of months in poor health, the care went up another level providing end of life care. And she left that home as impeccably dressed and made up, as the first day she walked in.


The outstanding care and approach starts with the care home manager and transcends down the line. There are just too many carers to mention special thanks to.


We got from the Borrins everything we hoped for and more. Thank you so much for caring for our mum and the friendship you provided her.

Reply from Sally Stones, Estates Manager at The Borrins Care Home

Dear Clive, Thank-you so much for your kind words about our home and especially our staff. Each resident means a lot to us and we are a small, family-run company who pride ourselves on providing the best care possible to other families and their loved ones. We have passed your review on to the Manager and asked that she shares this with her staff team. We wish you all the best. Warmest Welcome

My mum was in Borrins Care Home from March 2024. I instantly liked the home and I was made to feel very welcome. Mum's care was very professional and showed genuine love and care for her well-being and indeed my own.
Unfortunately, my mum ended up in an end-of-life care situation with the support
of the district nurse. This is when I saw even more of the workings of the home and the amazing staff. They cared for both my mum and myself at this time. In my mum's last days, I chose to stay by my mum's side. I'll never be able to thank the staff enough for what they helped me through. These people are just incredible and deserve far more than I'm sure their salaries reward them. They show a genuine love for others. Far more than 'just a job' I'll never forget the staff who cared for my mum and me at this time. I'm unable to put into words enough praise for the team at Borrins but they know what I'm trying to say. Thank you for everything. You're amazing people with hearts of gold. Bless you.

Mum went into The Borrins during Covid following a broken hip. She settled in well and loved all the staff, the food, the company, and the activities. She had a new lease of life. During Covid the staff coped extremely well in very difficult circumstances. Mum enjoyed her time there and had a lovely
room overlooking the gardens where she could watch the squirrels and birds. When Mum suffered a series of strokes The Borrins staff gave her the most amazing care, love, and support including helping myself and my family cope. Mum decided she wanted to remain at The Borrins at the end of her life and she passed away peacefully in Feb 2024, she was surrounded by people who knew her so well. She received the most wonderful care, support, love, and attention during her final days. I cannot thank all the staff and management enough for the care she received throughout her time there. It does feel like a special place and one Mum called home.

My sister was admitted to The Borrins in March 2020, just before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns and restrictions on visiting residents of care homes. As a result, this review is based on what has been a uniquely difficult 18 months for Care Home residents, staff and relatives of residents.
All have coped remarkably well and staff particularly deserve our fullest praise. My sister was admitted to The Borrins having had several falls over Christmas 2019, for which she was hospitalised in Bradford Royal Infirmary for 3 weeks. Despite a period in a Social Rehabilitation Unit afterwards, she was not deemed well enough to return to her sheltered housing flat in Shipley, where she lived alone.

I visited my cousin again this morning after trying to book a slot previously. The staff are most accommodating and very helpful. The pod is brilliant in that it enables visitors safely. The lounge and dining room look clean, tidy and warm, and I know she is very happy there. All in all, it couldn't
be better. Well done to all concerned.

Everyone at The Borrins has been kind and considerate both to me and my mother. The food is excellent. The only complaint we have is that the room is cold, and she can't have her electric blanket, so several nights she has complained of being cold, and so cannot sleep.

My mum has been in The Borrins for over three years now. My late father was a resident for around 6-months. The home is very well managed, and the care staff are all excellent. Through an extremely challenging year, care and communication have been consistently good. I would recommend to anyone looking
for a care home in the area.

My mother stayed at The Borrins for 3 years and she was very well looked after by all the staff members, not only the carers.
I was very impressed by the way everybody treated the residents with dignity.
From the first day my mother moved to the Borrins, they all made my mother feel very welcome.
She felt very safe and loved. With me living in Amsterdam, it was comforting to be able to phone my mother and speak to staff members.
They kept me in the picture and whenever my family and I came to visit we were made very welcome. I am very pleased that my mother stayed at the Borrins.

My mum was accepted into the home in the most difficult times, Covid-19. Yet we were reassured that she was well cared for from the outset by the welcoming, comforting staff who had the most cheery disposition, yet were professional at all times.
She enjoyed all of the meals and the chef went above
and beyond, baking a cake for her birthday. Family rarely saw her, staff made up for it.

I wrote a review two weeks ago about the kind care my Grandma received during a period of ill health. Sadly she passed away this week, very peaceful at The Borrins, after living there for nearly 3 years. All the staff at The Borrins should be proud of the work they do, the people that they are and the
difference they can make to resident's lives. As a family, we are very grateful for the care our Gran received and the friendships that we made with the team.

My mum has been a resident for almost 3 years and I could not wish for a more caring home. The staff are so kind to my mum and also to myself. The manager is extremely supportive and has the best interest of the residents at her heart.
My mum was very poorty at the weekend and I was immediately informed
by the day senior member of staff that a doctor had been called for. I sat with mum for many hours on the Sunday and was given privacy in her room and all the staff were so helpful and kind to mum and myself.
The senior night staff also rang me at 10:30pm to give me an update.
Mum is now so much better and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.166)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.166) out of 10 for The Borrins Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for The Borrins Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Borrins Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
