The care given to Dad from the very start was exemplary. This team are nothing short of awesome ad there is a clear bias towards dignity for each individual- as an individual. In the end Dad spent many months at Burford Nursing Home and as a wider family we really appreciated the obvious care and love shown throughout. Dads passing was ultimately very peaceful-something we are all very grateful for after years of deteriorating dementia, and we believe this was in no small part down to the way he was treated and loved. Thank you to all the team. Would highly recommend to anyone facing a similar position.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our Burford Nursing Home staff.

Always welcoming, very kind & considerate. The staff are always cheerful and look after my husband really well. The whole family feel very privileged to have him there where he is safe. The staff feel like friends and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
The treatment and care the staff here have given our brother have been simply exceptional, right from the very first day he was brought here. Everyone has always been warm and caring, with the highest level of professionalism. They treat everyone with warmth & respect, and do their utmost to make all their guests here feel safe and loved, preserving their dignity in some of the darkest and saddest days of their lives. Our brother suffered a life-changing stroke but being here in this home, surrounded by such outstanding care has given him a quality of life we could never have dreamt he might have. We will forever be grateful to all the nursing and caring staff at the Burford Nursing Home
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
My brother has been at Burford Nursing Home since being discharged from hospital, after having had a severe stroke. He needed 24hr nursing and care because of the severity of the stroke. Since being at the home, he has received love and care from everyone from the nursing staff to the general overall care from assistants, making sure his dignity was preserved at all times. He has had a quality of life that he would not have otherwise had. We as a family, could not have been more grateful to all the staff and feel blessed to have been lucky enough to have discovered this wonderful 'home from home'. Thank you EVERYONE of you!

I am more than pleased with the care given to my husband and the dignity with which it is done
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
We could not fault the care and loving attention he received from all staff at this difficult time .
I personally received constant updates from the team to pass on to family and we were kept informed at all times, also able to speak with his doctor if need be .
Burford management and staff gave us all the help and support we could have asked for when it came to arranging the funeral , with staff attending funeral to support family right up to the end of my brother in law's life and final goodbyes.
Our family will always have very fond memories of Burford and feel that my brother in law was indeed a very fortunate man to have spent his final years while receiving their loving care.
There are certain members of staff who became friends over the years who we will never forget, but we send love and gratitude to all management and caring staff over the years.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
There are lots of activities on at the home - dad was mainly keen on the football but did enjoy the fireworks. He was encouraged to do his physio but his wishes were always respected.
On the rare occasion I had a concern this was dealt with properly
I have not felt able to revisit just yet but I hope this recommendation goes someway to thank the home

I could not have had my mother in a better care home. Everyone was friendly, my mother was treated like she was their mum. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

All the staff we met made visiting my relatives a pleasure. We were greeted by name and offered refreshments and I was able to chat to my relatives (two sisters) in comfort and privacy in the library. All the staff were friendly and helpful to my wife and me and were kind and caring to my relatives. All the areas I went into were clean, bright and airy and provided a very calm atmosphere.

My father was admitted from an inadequate Care home, that could not provide for his needs. He had Vascular Dementia. When he arrived at Burford Nursing Home, it was clear he needed further care, his mobility was poor, his speech was deteriorating and his Cognitive memory was poor at best, making him confused. As he was blind he needed assistance with feeding himself , he was also hard of hearing. He wasn't incontinent but due to communication issues he wore pads. From the moment he arrived the amazing staff cared for his every need. Not just the Nursing staff, but everyone , spent time talking to him, explaining everything, even though he didn't remember things. As a Registered Nurse, I cannot recommend this place enough. The care Dad received during his time and in his final days was exemplary and way beyond. Dad was treated with dignity, compassion and love as was my Mum and family members. Nothing was too much trouble, during a very difficult time. Thank you.

My wife was admitted to Burford nursing home on March 3, 2025. From the very beginning the welcome to Lynne and myself was very warm, kind and friendly. And this has been continued in these early weeks. We have both been made to feel very much at home. This has been a wonderful experience, especially as we have been married for 55 years. They have a great team of carers who can never do enough to help and look after their residents . My wife has had problems with hygiene when she was at home, but they seem to have been able to help her look so much better and better more like her old self. I cannot tell you what joy and relief the Home have brought into my life knowing that Lynne is being so loved. And not only do they work well with the residents but the whole place looks spotless and feels fresh.

Our worries were unfounded as the staff have been brilliant, so caring and professional. The home is clean, the atmosphere friendly and the food excellent. The kitchen had no problem and went out of their way to cater for my Dad as he is a celiac.
We have already pre booked another stay and look forward to the backup Burford Nursing Home provide.

The care that my dad received from the wonderful staff at The Burford Nursing home was exceptional. Having suffered with Alzheimers and a nasty fall his health was in a very precarious position when he first arrived at the home having been discharged from the hospital. However, their patience and nurturing care got him back on his feet and even dancing with the carers when they had their music activities. Sadly, his Alzheimers progressed to the point where he was unable to swallow, so despite their endless patience we decided that we needed to move to palliative care. Their expertise and gentle guidance was extraordinary to support my mum and me through my Dad's final days and hours, ensuring that he had a painless peaceful passing. We will be forever grateful for the incredible love, care and devotion they showed Dad and support they gave my mum and me at an exceedingly difficult time.

The care provided for my sister-in-law cannot be faulted. Getting to know the residence has been a real eye-opener on what dementia is all about and without our visits, we would not have as much knowledge about this awful ailment and how marvellous the staff are to deal with it.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
My friend always seems content. Staff are very attentive and friendly.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
I always find the staff to be very friendly and helpful. My friend has been a resident here for over a year and she always looks happy and well cared for. I would recommend Burford Nursing Home to family and friends.
