My wife has been a resident in Burford Nursing Home for the past 2 years and we have been pleased and impressed by the way in which mangers and all staff have worked to keep everyone safe and as contented as possible , given the difficulties created by the Covid restrictions. They work together to maintain a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere whilst keeping to the standards in a caring nursing home, The recent acquisition of a minibus for transporting residents-including those in wheelchairs-has been a resounding success as it has provided visits and activities away from the Nursing Home, especially important given the restrictions since the start of Covid. This is overseen and driven by the Activities Organiser on a reservable basis and works extremely well, We are happy with the individual care and attention my wife receives ,delivered in a friendly and caring manner.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
I would highly recommend Burford Nursing Home, both my parents have settled in well and are happy at Burford. I feel secure in the knowledge that they are being looked after well and have everything that they could need. The staff have been both friendly and proactive, identifying and raising any changes in my parent's wellbeing that may require attention. The staff have also supported my sister and I, enabling a smooth transition as our parents moved from their own homes into a nursing home.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
Staff are always friendly and welcoming to us when we visit.
Your care during locked and now as things start to change has been great with updates being sent out often.
The Addition of the garden room has been good as we have been able to visit.
Seeing photos of events is lovely and the effort by staff to make things fun and interesting for our loved ones makes me smile.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
Both parents went to the nursing home in May 2020 couldn't ask for better care for them both so kind, made the family feel part of their very special family kept us updated the whole time during lockdown which was so important. Sadly both parents have passed away now, but the last period of their life was made so special by such kind compassionate carers and staff. They were all so kind thank you for the amazing care you gave them.
Thank you very much for your feedback on the healthcare service provided by our staff at Burford Nursing Home.
Excellent care given at all times always kept informed. Sadly my Auntie passed away, not COVID related, and the staff couldn't have done more, so supportive and understanding, making sure all my aunt's wishes were taken care of in the most difficult circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble, such great care.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
Personal cleanliness and the care of her private room was excellent; meals and refreshments in-between meal times was plentiful and she was accompanied outside into the garden and grounds by staff whenever she wished - which could sometimes be numerous times a day!
As someone who visited almost every day, as a close relative, I was made to feel 'part of the family' and always treated cordially by friendly faces. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I will be eternally grateful to Burford Nursing Home for the degree of care they provided.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
I congratulate you on your very good communication through the emails you are sending keeping us updated on the Covid19 situation and this enables us to feel more connected together with the advent of the use of the video calls whereby I can now see her on the camera more regularly.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
The management is excellent, trustworthy and efficient, and the gentle banter and fun that exists throughout the day between staff and residents; makes the home 'alive'.
Visitors are always treated with respect and a cup of tea. I feel that the residents are listened to, and their particular preferences are accommodated.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to those who are in need of this type of nursing care.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
I feel the care my father is receiving is excellent, and we know he could not have better care. I feel the management is keeping us so well informed about what is happening, which I really appreciate could not wish for more.

All the staff cared for my mother with kindness, compassion, and empathy to all of our needs. Communication with the staff was exceptional; always well informed. At these difficult times, I cannot say how compassionate the staff were with my mum at the end of her life. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
The whole team from the managers down to the staff who cleaned the room were absolutely brilliant. The whole team were/are a credit to the nursing home for the outstanding level of care my wife received for end of life care.

The manner they have all handled this terrifying situation is almost beyond words and all of our heartfelt thanks go out to each and every one of you for ensuring the safety, dignity and clinical care is still provided at the highest level. When you all worked out how to handle this situation in the most unassuming professional way by announcing the security and safety of the residents, we all knew that in you we could trust the well-being of our loved ones.
Thank you form the bottom of my heart for what you've achieved so far and what you will achieve going forward. Your personal sacrifices will never be forgotten.
God Bless you All.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
Her remaining at home had become impossible due to her dementia getting worse and her behaviour more challenging.
What difference we have seen in her with the fantastic care that she receives.
All of the carers are cheerful and smiling.
It had such a homely feeling the moment you enter.
Thank you very much for your feedback with regards to the healthcare service provided by our staff members at Burford Nursing Home.
Since being in the home, my parents have been well looked after with nothing being too much trouble. They are clean, fed and safe. Not only that but they are given activities to keep their minds active.
The care home has a lovely 'home from home' feel. You are greeted by a friendly face as you enter. Residents look content and relaxed. Everywhere smells clean and fresh, nice decor and furnishings, staff are friendly and approachable, caring and competent. Management available if any questions regarding your relative's care needs. All in all, very satisfactory.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
My husband requires 24-hour care and is wheelchair bound. Since arriving at Ramping Cat House last year, we have experienced friendly and caring service. All friends visiting agree that they are always welcomed and feel the home has a warm, cosy atmosphere. Unlike the home, he was in previously! The management and staff do an amazing job considering the enormity of it.
Thank you for your feedback.
I found that my husband was treated with kindness and consideration always. He never appeared unhappy under very trying circumstances.
Thank you for your feedback.
My grampy was taken to the care home after being in hospital. He had been in another care home which we were not happy with, so as you can imagine we were all a bit concerned at first with the move. As we looked around and met the staff, we soon realised that it was a lovely, homely place and the staff were so welcoming to us at all times. My gramp received so much attention and they cared for his needs so well. Sadly he passed away but the staff were so supportive and gave us private time near the end but were just outside the door if we needed them.
