My father is extremely happy and contented as a resident in Bayford House. His personal care is very good, he always looks so clean. He has to have pureed good with his condition, and this is always provided, he really enjoys his nutritious meals. I always look forward to visiting my father in the home as it creates a caring, friendly atmosphere. The staff are very thorough, and attentive to dad. I know that when my visit with dad is over, he will be left in the best of care, which I appreciate.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your comments of our home and will share your comments with the home’s manager. The Bupa Customer Care Team.
Mother-in-law said there were no activities organised like card games, bingo or dominoes etc. but this did not spoil her stay with you.
Thank you for your review. Your comments are extremely important to us and our residents’ health and wellbeing is our absolute priority. 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.
