Review from Andrew W (Son of Resident) published on 21 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother is currently a resident in the Willows care home. It's situated in the quiet village of Burton Fleming. Its out in the sticks, but my mother grew up in a similar village and appreciates the quiet countryside feel of the area.
I felt I needed to post a review to say thank you to all the staff that work there. They all do a brilliant job.
When my mum first arrived she had lost her confidence due to ongoing health issues with her gallbladder. And sadly her memory was not what it once was a year or two ago.
The staff made great efforts to get her back to the point that she regained her confidence to go out on trips on the minibus. They also targeted things that she liked such as animals, music and to have a sing along.
I also like the fact that there are several areas to go in the home, so they residents are not stuck in the same room daily. When it's warm enough they open the doors to a patio area.

A great little care home. Thank you for looking after our mum.

Overall Experience
The Willows is situated in the lovely village of Burton Fleming. I visit my friend on a regular basis and have always found the management and staff very friendly and helpful. I am always made welcome and nothing is too much trouble. I can have meals with my friend anytime which is nice. The residents always look clean and tidy and are interacted with, by the staff, well. The manager has an open-door policy and is always available for a chat. I know if I had any concerns that they would be dealt with promptly as the manager welcomes concerns to make the home a better place for the residents to live in.
