My dear wife first attended Burford Nursing Home in November 2023 for two weeks of respite care. In March 2024 after a short stay in hospital, the decision was taken for her to become a permanent resident at the home. The management team supported me to ensure all went smoothly relieving me of a lot of stress. My wife was warmly welcomed by all the staff. All aspects of my wife's care are excellent, with compassion, friendship and constant smiles. Enough is never enough as every member of the team strives to find ways to support the residents and their families. I and our children are so grateful that their mum is in such a wonderful place as Burford Nursing Home.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
They also looked after me through very difficult days and especially when Mum died there were 8 beautiful angels with me to help me through her passing, there aren't the words, even picking me up and taking me home because I was too distressed to drive.
Since Mum has died they have been in touch to check up on me which has been so comforting because they all became family to me and I will be volunteering in the New Year to give back the love and support they gave not only to Mum but to me.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
The team made Mum feel welcome and cared for on her arrival and that care continued right up until the end when Mum sadly passed away peacefully in September 2023.
They were proactive communicating any updates quickly and effectively. Mum was the happiest I had seen her in her later years and the care which she received, in the environment she was in, will have no doubt contributed to that in a significant way.
When Mum transitioned to palliative care during her final days the team were knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make her comfortable and to make my life as easy as possible. They took it upon themselves to personally ensure I had everything I needed for the 2-hour journey home each night which was particularly touching.
My decision to donate the proceeds of her funeral collection to the staff should, I hope, speak for itself and I can thoroughly recommend the manager and his team to anyone thinking of placing a loved one here.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
Everybody at Burford Nursing Home treated my wife with care and affection. They could not have done more to make her last days as pleasant and comfortable as possible. First class.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
My mother was a resident from December 2021 until December 2022 when she very sadly died. Through this time she had excellent, meaningful care and attention. Throughout the months, she was thoughtfully cared for, so much so that we all felt the genuine nature of this support. All staff always knew who my mother was and how she was doing. I was always notified of any issues she was having both physically and mentally. The care and attention could in no way have been improved and at the very end I could not have been more supported personally. The end of a long life is all very emotional with many memories and great sadness, knowing that she was well cared for has made a huge difference to all the family.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service our Burford Nursing Home staff provided.
My friend came for respite and sadly passed away after 6-7 weeks. Staff are wonderful, caring, and compassionate. Nurses are experienced and approachable. Carers treat family, friends, and residents with kindness, dignity, and respect. I cannot praise all of the staff from cleaners to managers, enough. Thank you all for making my friend's last few weeks a happy one.

I was always informed of any problems.

Christmas day we were surprised and thrilled to have private dining with Dad - crackers, streamers napkins, wine, turkey dinner and Christmas pudding. It was so lovely and we will treasure the memory. The staff care! Thank you.

Burford Nursing Home is a truly wonderful care home. My mum has been a resident there for almost one year and during this time, she has received superb care. As a family, we feel very lucky that Mum is a full-time resident there.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
I would just like to express my thanks for the wonderful care, you gave my mother, that you cared for, for the last few weeks of her life. Me and my family were extremely grateful for the love and care you gave her. Thank you.

My father went to reside in Burford Nursing Home in February 2020. He contracted Covid in March 2020 at the age of 98 years old. Through their excellent nursing and care, he thankfully recovered and we were kept informed of his condition throughout. At such a frightening time in all our lives, it was a great comfort to us to know that he was in such safe hands. Burford Nursing Home organised an amazing 100th birthday party for my father, we had a lovely time with family and friends and all the other residents and staff celebrating with us. We also enjoyed a platinum jubilee garden party that the nursing home had organised. They went to great lengths to make it a special occasion, the tea and entertainment were excellent. My father sadly passed away not long before he was 101 years old, having spent two and a half years at the nursing home. My family will be forever grateful for all the love and care that was shown to my father and to us. I would thoroughly recommend Burford Nursing Home.

My mother, who has dementia, has been in Burford Nursing home for the past 18 months, and despite commencing a 'reign of terror' within the home for a few weeks upon her initial admittance, she has settled in amazingly well, and considers the place to be home. The staff managed her very well, and despite her maverick antics, they were all very kind to her. In conjunction with the Doctor, they have adjusted her medication and she is the happiest she has been in years. My father then developed dementia, and the staff offered advice and guidance on his management and told me to ring any time despite him not being in the home at that time. Dad went in on a permanent basis about 3 weeks ago. My parents visited my house for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday, and after about 4 hours, Dad advised me he was ready to return home, meaning the care home. The food is amazing, and all the staff are incredibly kind to both me and my parents. An incredibly well managed care home!

but I know that for her final years we could not have chosen a better, safer, caring place for her to have lived.

The wife was admitted in September 2021 and at first I was not quite sure. Now I find the nursing home at Burford. the staff are very understanding and helpful, and friendly. The rooms comfortable and clean. Visiting well organised. The wife well looked after.

Mum has been in Burford just over a year. In that time we can see she is well looked after, which is a comfort, and we are always made very welcome. Mum is very deaf and a bit vague and doesn't always remember the things she has been doing, but the staff are always chirpy with her and tell us about the cakes she has helped make, or the songs she has been listening to. Last year they allowed our wider family to use a room to celebrate her 90th birthday and provided a fantastic cake and refreshments. It was a very happy day. More recently several of us went to the Jubilee garden party, which again was a fabulous event. Everyone was happy, the catering was amazing, with so much food (and Pimms!). Well done everyone for all that effort and generosity.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
An outstanding nursing home from top to bottom! Answering the phone for enquiries is 100% every time. The politeness of staff through to management is 100% every time. Quality of care is 100%, absolutely. The ability of staff, through to management is 100%. Cleanliness is, spotless. Would I recommend Burford Nursing Home? 100%, without doubt! Thank you all, for being so kind, through what was a truly difficult time for our family!

Up until recently, my dad was a resident here and he was really well looked after in his final year during the lockdown. I was really impressed with the work that went on, even when we weren't allowed in for long periods. Today I met up with the residents for a Love Songs themed singalong session. They had just enjoyed a special Valentine's lunch and the new dining area walls were decorated with homemade love hearts. There were around a dozen residents and several staff members with me for the singalong and they all seemed in a jolly mood happily joining in with singing and a few funny stories. Afterwards, the residents stayed in the new dining area for a well-earned cup of tea and some love themed macaroons! The residents tell me that they look forward to our weekly singalong sessions and know the day and times that I'm due to be there. It certainly seems to brighten their day and I always get smiles and laughter. Great fun!
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
In their final days and hours the team went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to say goodbye for which we will always be thankful. We really could not have wished for them to be in a better place.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
