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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for your wonderful review of Burford House. We're thrilled to hear that your dad has been receiving exceptional care and that our staff has made a positive impact during this stressful time. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, and we truly appreciate your recognition of their efforts. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Just lovely from reception, carers, kitchen staff, and nurses to the manager, every member of the team greets you and knows you personally. Could never thank them enough for everything they have all done for my grandad and also our family. This home is home for anyone visiting a resident, it has brought great comfort in the year my granddad has been here.
Thank you so much for your heart-warming review! We are thrilled to hear that your experience with us has been so positive and that our team has provided excellent care for your Grandad. Creating a welcoming and personalized environment for our residents and their families is a top priority. Thank you for your kind words.
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.
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.
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.
The team at Burford is always at hand to support you through this difficult time. We appreciate you leaving the wonderful feedback and our thoughts are with you all over the coming stages.
The most incredibly caring, thoughtful place. Feel so at ease that my grandad is cared and loved for. All the staff at Burford House are by far the most amazing team. It is always so clean and tidy, that you feel valued as individuals and part of a second family.
Thank you for your kind words, it is lovely to hear that our amazing team at Burford makes you feel valued and part of a second family. They appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, many thanks.
Only one word - fantastic.
Thank you for your positive review; we're delighted to have exceeded your expectations!
My mum settled in within days, she felt secure and cared for and within a week, felt at home. Thank you all so much!
Thank you for your kind words, we are pleased to hear that your mum has settled well and feels at home. The team are always available for you to discuss any care needs.
I have been visiting for over a year and everything is well run and helpful and it is an excellent home with so many facilities. All the residents seem very content and happy and well looked after.
Thank you for your wonderful review; the team at Burford are grateful for your feedback.
I recently visited for the Christmas fair, it was so nice and the new building was amazing. The staff clearly care for the residents and their families and it’s very well located. I would highly recommend. The customer relations manager and her team do a fantastic service.
Thank you for your wonderful review, the team at Burford appreciate your feedback.
Since coming into Burford House I have been so well looked after by staff who are clearly intent on ensuring that I have the best of care at all times.
Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful 5-star review. The team at Burford House Care Home will be delighted to hear you are pleased with the care provided. Thank you.
Price wise the costs seem to be a little high but I guess that one is getting value for the money paid.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The staff at Burford House work hard to ensure the environment is safe and comfortable for all residents. We are delighted to hear that the care and support provided is always kind and readily available. Your comments have been passed on to the home manager, thank you.
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.
The team will be pleased to hear your wonderful comments, thank you for your review and we wish you and your son all the best.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive and constructive review; we really appreciate your valuable feedback. The team at Burford House will be delighted to hear that your experience of being a resident was excellent. Here at Westgate Healthcare, we always aim to improve and enhance our services, and all feedback is always welcomed and passed on to the team. Thank you once again.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback. This has now been passed on to the home manager, who will be in contact with you shortly to listen and improve our services. We are pleased to hear you received first-class care.
Lovely care staff. Beautiful home. Care for the residents first class.
Thank you for your review, our team appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear the care is 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.
Thank you for your very kind, heart-warming review, our team are honoured to receive such amazing feedback, they are always on hand to offer their support. Please do not hesitate to contact them with anything you may need.
Burford House Care Home is a lovely place. The environment is very welcoming and the staff are so caring, kind and compassionate at what is a very difficult time for my family. We are very grateful for the support - not only for our parents but for us too.
