Fantastic, thankyou.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was well cared for and looked after. Thank you again for choosing Bayford House for your Mum's short stay.
Staff friendly and accommodating, excellent food offerings and overall clean and tidy. Dad would rather be in his own space with fewer interruptions overnight but has no complaints with Bayford House or its staff. As visitors we find the staff very nice and smiley and we feel Dad is well looked after, though we do notice the staff seem to assume he's deaf and sometimes shout at rather than talk to him.

I can only say that every time I visit my mother I think how lucky she is to be a resident in Bayford House.Everything about the care home is excellent that includes the all the staff and the well kept grounds

Bayford House Carehome has been very supportive of mum's needs, we have a friendly welcome whenever we visit, it has been less stress for the family knowing mum is well cared for and safe, all the staff are very poiite, helpful and friendly.

Providing peace of mind for families is one of our top priorities, so your words mean a lot. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
My mother in law is so happy since she moved into Bayford House. She is always smiling and even though she is not mobile she enjoys all the fun activities on offer. She has nothing but praise for all the stall from the management, down to the cleaners, as do we. They all treat her with love and respect as if she were one of their own family member. When you leave a loved one in a care home it is a very difficult decision to make. Ours was made so much easier as everyone was so welcoming and caring she settled in from day one. A huge thank you from all her family for helping making her feel so loved and cared for. She is never lonely anymore and we love coming to visit her in her wonderful new home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy to hear your Mother in Law already feels like a part of our Bayford House family and that she finds all our staff have made her feel so at home in our care. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit.
The staff are very thoughtful and attentive and go out of their way to meet residents needs. They deal with my mother very patiently, despite the fact that she isn't always polite in return. There's plenty of varied activities laid on by the staff and they do their best to ensure that the residents get involved. The food served is varied with plenty of choice available.
At home my mother frequently fell and wasn't eating proper meals. At Bayford House she's getting the care she needs. The staff can't do anything about the fact my mother is very stubborn and often doesn't call for assistance, but I do know she is being well cared for by the staff.
Your review means a great deal to our team and we're so grateful you shared your experience. Your comments are a testament to the enthusiasm of everyone in the home. Thank you for recognizing the care and dedication of our team. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
Bayford House is a place in super nice surrounding which is all very well maintained. I find all the staff very pleasant, hard working and easy to speak with in a home like environment. My Dad is looked after very well and enjoys his meals especially the puddings. All in all a Care Home that Cares very much.

Staff are very caring and staff turnover is low so Mum is well known and looked after with her personal preferences being taken into account by all the staff. Clean and comfortable room and communal spaces. Activities are varied, regular and well run. Mum enjoys the hairdresser visits and looks forward to meals which look very nice. Mum is very content.
We're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible.
Mum has been here for over a year now and as a family we could not be more happy. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I've never seen mum turn away any of her food, even food I thought she wouldn't like. The activities are great and I love seeing the photos especially when mum has joined in.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is always nice to hear words like "friendly and helpful" being used to describe our care. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Mum in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
My mother is well looked after, and all staff are friendly and helpful. At times I think staff shortages impact on her care, eg long time sitting in a wheelchair. She seems to get put to bed quite early, and one time she was washed and dressed and sitting in her chair by 6.30am.
We're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. We take pride in creating a caring environment, and it's lovely to hear that reflected in your comments. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.

Meet the Team (4)

I started as a care assistant in Dec 2014. Quickly progressed to a senior carer then senior carer with medication responsibilities. Then unit manager in 2017. Lastly, I applied for the home managers position.
I have always since the age of 19 worked in the care sector. I spent a lot of time working for social services in Essex and North Yorkshire and I have also worked as a sheltered housing officer.
I am married with 2 children. I live locally to the home.My husband and I enjoy fishing and holidays in Cuba. I enjoy working in care as i love to see the smiles that good care puts on the residents faces!

I am Deputy Manager at Bayford House. I have been with Bupa for fourteen years. I am a Registered Nurse from India. I moved to a Middle East hospital where I was a Specialist Nurse in Intensive Care Unit (Team Leader) prior to moving to the UK. I am married with three little daughters.
I am enthusiastic, compassionate nursing professional with over twenty-one years of experience as a Registered Nurse.
I always ensure that we provide excellent care and support for residents and their families during the time they spend here at Bayford House with us.

People often say that I should have retired by now but I class this as my second home and love all my residents.
When I lost my husband, everybody here was so supportive. My favourite time of year is Christmas when I put up all the decorations in the home, which the residents and families enjoy.
If I can go home at night and know I have made one of my residents smile that is a great feeling.

I am originally from Greater Manchester where I worked for Dairy Crest since leaving school until I joined Bupa in June 2008. Firstly as an administrator at The Donnington, where I worked for four years until I had the opportunity to move to Thatcham Court, which is a larger home, in June 2012, this presented additional scope for broadening my experience.
I embraced the challenge of working in a new care home environment, as Thatcham Court is a dementia home, and this presented new aspects to the job and also included a wider range of duties. After working in a dementia home for nine months I felt I would prefer to focus my skills in a non-dementia home, which is when I came to Bayford House in May 2013.
