My husband is well settled in Newdale Court at Bayford House; the routines and facilities allow him to thrive in a safe and predictable environment. The staff are lovely and warm, great with him, and the home runs efficiently.
I think our only quibbles would be that quality of the food is inconsistent - sometimes it's excellent, sometimes it's below par; and that staff are so busy that they don't always have the time to properly listen to, or interact with him.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding. We will discuss your feedback about food with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

Moved from Bayford Nursing Home to Newdale Court - more independant living. Have a very pleasant new room & consequently am in a better frame of mind to participate with other residents & the activities staff, especially Athi, Anna, Lyn, Adersh etc. give excellent care.

My Father is currently residing at Bayford House. He has settled in well and is happy with the service he receives. The care staff and nurses are amazing - always happy to help and he has formed some good relationships with both. All the staff who work throughout the home are cheerful and happy to...
The food always smells delicious with a good choice of menu and plenty of homemade cakes on a daily basis.
There is a wide range of activities planned for each day throughout the month - particular favourites are the singers that come in regularly.
The gardens are beautifully kept with lots of seating areas and a range of wildlife that are often seen wandering the grounds. Being in a rural setting it is also very peaceful.
As expected there are always going to be teething problems but once the staff get to know their residents these become fewer and far between. My father is happy and most importantly he feels safe.
Your feedback means a lot to us and the team at Bayford House Care Home. It's lovely to know that you feel reassured that your Father is safe and well looked after.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is always nice to hear words like "friendly" and "accommodating" being used to describe our care. We're pleased to know the meals are hitting the mark! Our catering team always aims to provide variety, comfort and quality. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.
My friend is receiving palliative care, he is being well looked after and is enjoying having people around him. His room is light and comfortable and the view from his bedroom window is absolutely stunning

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.

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 have been at Bayford House/Newdale Court for twenty five years. I am Newdale’s Activity Coordinator and I have three children; two boys and one girl and seven grandchildren - I even bring them in to work sometimes as they love to talk to the residents.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.
