Review from Sarah E (Partner of Resident) published on 4 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From going into reception, there is a warm and friendly atmosphere. My partner was extremely well looked after during his respite care stay. All the staff went out of their way to be helpful and introduced him to other residents. Excellent food, and he appreciated being offered a glass of wine at meal times making for a relaxed atmosphere. His room and everywhere else was clean and well-kept. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Burford House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words; we are pleased to hear that your partner was well looked after during his respite stay and that the team provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. The team at Burford appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Review from Pippa A (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum has dementia, her needs are therefore complex and ever-challenging. The team always finds ways to understand Mum's needs. (which is much help as she is mute). The team always treats Mum with kindness and dignity. The home itself is beautifully presented and well-clean. When you walk in there is always a friendly welcome. I feel I am walking into a degreased environment (which can be the case when visiting an elderly retirement relative). I can highly recommend Burford House.

Reply from Jay Demetrious, Marketing Executive at Burford House Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt review! We truly appreciate your recognition of our team's efforts in understanding and meeting your Mum's complex needs. Providing a welcoming and well-maintained environment for both residents and their families is paramount to us, and we're glad to hear that you feel...

Dad's care in Burford House has been amazing. He has been treated with the utmost care and dignity. All members of staff are so welcoming and friendly and have made a very stressful time so much better for all of us. It is a beautiful surrounding but even more importantly the people who work within it are the true essence of Burford House and their care is second to nine. A special place.

This home is home for anyone visiting a resident, it has brought great comfort in the year my granddad has been here.

Review from M O (Son of Resident) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dear Father received palliative care at Burford House before sadly passing away. The home itself is new, spotlessly clean with amazing facilities. The main thing however was my confidence in the professionalism, empathy, and caring nature of the staff. I am confident that they gave my Father the best quality of life he could have had and dealt with him and us with genuine compassion. It has been such a difficult time but the team and Burford House did all they could for us as a family.

Reply from Jay Demetrious, Marketing Executive at Burford House Care Home

We are sorry for your loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. We are glad to hear that your Father received exceptional care at Burford House. Our team strives to provide comfort and support, and we're glad they could make a positive difference during such a challenging time. We appreciate your kind words.

Overall Experience

Dad has been at Burford House for almost a year now. The care, love, support, encouragement, and attention have been a constant. Dad is sadly now in his final stage but continued love and care are paramount and we and Dad feel so safe. On the first arrival, you are blown away by the beautiful décor and cleanliness. Strip that back, it's the people. Every single member of staff are amazing person.

Review from Thomas W (Respite Resident) published on 23 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The care home is new and benefits from this. It has been well designed and has many attractive features. The staff are well trained and very kind but, being predominantly foreign, there are a few problems with being understood from time to time. The food is generally good and there are extra choices for those who are more difficult to satisfy. A plus is that wine is offered both at lunch and supper! It is always clean and tidy. The staff arranging entertainment try hard and are very kind but possibly extra activities could be attempted. Laundry arrangements take a bit of understanding and can occasionally result in returns being incorrect. The care and support provided always seem to be kind and readily available. The management has recently changed but the change has not resulted in any noticeable difference to the operation.

Price wise the costs seem to be a little high but I guess that one is getting value for the money paid.

My son needed post-operative care following major surgery. Burford House Care Home turned out to be the perfect solution. From the moment we entered the front door, we realised our hopes had been answered. The friendliness, care and competence of all the staff sets it apart from other establishments I have encountered. Thank you and well done.

Review from Richard S (Respite Resident) published on 24 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My experience of being a resident at Burford House was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful, this indeed both the day staff and the night staff. They were so good and brought me an extra cup of tea just before going to sleep, which was lovely.
The nursing staff were excellent (I was recovering from a major operation), and they were able to deal with my medicine and stitches and give me the reassurance I needed.

The food was excellent, very tasty, and they were always able to provide an alternative to the day's main dish. My only one criticism was that there was too much soup (twice a day, every day), some variation in the starters would have been good.

Reply from Laura Davey, Marketing Executive at Burford House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive and constructive review; we really appreciate your valuable feedback.

Review from Alison P (Wife of Resident) published on 16 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband was resident at Burford House Care Home for over four months. Whilst he would of course prefer to be at home, I found the care I could provide inadequate and Burford provided that very adequately. The staff are superb, patient, personable and efficient. He found socialising rather noisy and overwhelming but the presence of people laughing and enjoying themselves added to a cheerful happy atmosphere.
The food, as in any place, became monotonous though efforts were made to liven it up. Fresh fruit, drinks and snacks were always freely available and no objection was made in me bringing in further snacks.

Overall, a caring, happy place to be in to be nursed and cared for.

Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Burford House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Burford House always welcome feedback. We are pleased to hear that your husband was in a caring happy residence during his care. We will pass on your feedback regarding the menu choices as we are constantly striving to enhance the service provided.

Overall Experience

Did not participate in any activities. Meals were late and some courses were missed on these dates (05/6/23, 07/06/23, 08/06/23 and 16/06/23) and this caused some stress. I found it difficult to adjust but after ten days, I was fine. Thank you for the care that I received, it was first-class.

From the time you walk in, Burford House creates a warm welcome, always with a smile on the front desk and in the office to the left. All the staff are fantastic, caring and kind to my mother and father, who visits daily. Nothing is a problem, they are all willing to help regarding any issues or requests. All I can say is this care home is outstanding in every manner and I am truly blessed it's on our doorstep.
