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.
