During my time at Burford House I was Immediately welcomed by their intimate family, comming in, in the morning and seeing the gleeful faces of the residents reaffirmed my want to pursue a future career in medicine. While I was there I learnt the importance of fostering strong, intimate relationships
with the residents, values I am sure I will carry through not only in my career in medicine, but everyday life. Burford House is an outstanding care home and has given me experience I will not forget.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited my grandad twice while he was in Burford House for some respite care. I was really impressed with how welcoming and jolly all the staff were. The kindness they showed my grandad was amazing, making him laugh & taking time to talk to him and us. They were all incredible with the care they gave.
BH was more like a hotel - everything looked fresh and clean, the food delicious (he certainly tucked in!) and the whole place well thought out, making it really accessible for him. He looked so happy & on my second visit, so healthy after his recent illness and back to being my grandad once again. They even took the trouble of finding him a lovely book of Yorkshire (where he was born) with great photos which he loved looking at daily & kept in his room until he returned home. It was lovely to hear all about the activities he was enjoying during his stay, whenever my parents visited. BH is first class.

My father-in-law's recent respite stay at Burford House was such a positive experience for him and us, that this review barley does it justice! The staff, in every role are outstanding, always going above and beyond to provide every aspect of care with kindness and dignity, updating promptly via telephone
if any concerns or on every visit we made. Staff at all levels are amazing with all their residents and it really did not feel like a care home, but more an extension of home itself. We were greeted so warmly whenever we arrived and offered refreshments in the very welcoming bistro area. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, and the communication excellent. My father-in-law was so happy to stay and it is testament to how exceptional BH is that so many of the staff have remained there from his previous stay last year. Other residents also speak highly of their lives there. His accommodation, his meals, the cleanliness throughout, daily activities, beautiful outside areas and all that BH has to offer were of the highest standard. Out deepest gratitude for everything that was done for my father-in-law in nursing him back to good health during his stay. Highly recommend without hesitation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Burford House is exceptional! Our dad (91) had 6 weeks respite care here after a hospital stay. The support, care & kindness shown every single day was of the highest possible standard. We had complete peace of mind. His every need was seen to and he was safe (he's very confused). Every member of staff
treated him with patience, dignity and understanding, providing gentle encouragement and friendly smiling faces, & giving him time to talk/be listened to, & his requests were dealt with promptly. A beautiful ground floor room on arrival (as mobility issues) facing the tranquil sensory garden. Everywhere spotlessly clean. Initially very frail from hospital where issues not rectified. BH were incredibly efficient, ensuring excellent care also from local practice doctors visiting regularly. Staff checked on his well-being day and night and we were fully updated. Dad's health has improved significantly. Staff at every level (catering/cleaning included) should be commended. Meals & varied choice were excellent. Dad loved the bistro daily, being taken for short walks, birthday celebrations, world book day, cinema room. Life at BH fully inclusive. The main garden enabled him to sit and interact with other residents. Out grateful thanks for our dad's wonderful experience. Professional & warmly welcoming to everyone. Would highly recommend.

Burford House Care Home is an incredibly compassionate and caring home for people like my husband who was suffering with Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's. He was a patient here from April 2024 until December 2024 and I knew as soon as I stepped through the doors that it was the perfect place for him.
All of the staff and the management team move heaven and earth to make things as perfect as possible for not only the residents but also the family. The rooms are beautifully clean. Although no one really wants to put their loved ones in a care home, this really is the next best thing to their own home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I shall be forever indebted to you all for making my husband's last months the best they can be.

    1. 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 48 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
