Over all time Burford House Care Home has 68 reviews.
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.
Thank you for your wonderful review, the team at Burford House are grateful for your feedback and are on hand to help and support at all times.
Both Mum and Dad have been very well cared for by all the staff at Burford. I feel very comfortable that they are safe and happy.
Thank you so much for your kind words, the team take great pride in ensuring all residents receive the highest level of care, it is wonderful to hear your positive feedback.
Dad became a resident of Burford House earlier this year. From the moment Dad entered the building he was treated with kindness, reassurance and courtesy, this kindness was also extended to his family. The whole home is extremely clean and decorated to a high standard. The care Dad receives on a day-to-day basis is exceptional from absolutely every staff member, nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone. Each day there are activities and everyone is included along with the local community. Dad very much enjoyed cooking with some local school children and enjoyed a pint of Guinness on St Patrick’s Day. There is always an amazing choice of food which is prepared and served to a high standard. Dad's physical and mental well-being has improved dramatically since he has been a resident and I can’t thank everyone enough for all that they do!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, the team at Burford House will be overwhelmed with your kind comments. We are pleased to hear that your dad's physical and mental well-being has improved since being a resident. The team are always on hand to help.
Burford House was the perfect choice for my mother to recover from a fall. All the staff were kind, considerate and professional. Nothing was too much bother. The facilities are impressive, well-designed and modern but still with a homely feel. When visiting, I was always made to feel very welcome, and the staff always found time to listen. My mum could not have been in safer hands, and I cannot thank them enough.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We loved welcoming your mum into our home and supporting her to get well enough to return home.
