Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home

Much improved over this last year.

I cannot commend Badgeworth Court highly enough. My parents are both residents here. Sadly my mum passed away earlier this week. The staff were so supportive, compassionate and very committed both to caring for mum in her last few days but ensuring my dad was supported too. As their daughter, I was regularly kept informed of mum’s condition and involved closely with any changes in her care plan. All staff, from kitchen, housekeeping, care staff and management were so caring and made such a big difference to this whole wearing, harrowing period. I could not have asked for more and if I had, I know they would have done anything to accommodate the family’s wishes.

Now, I note the impact on my wife, POSITIVE. There is still a person there.

My mother has been in this care home for almost six months. After a very bad fall and a five-week stay in hospital, the family were left with no choice but to find a suitable care home. She was very poorly and could not communicate very well. The care here has been excellent and she is a different person. The carers are so friendly and dedicated and will go out of their way to make sure the residents are happy and cared for. We have never regretted our decision in choosing this care home.

My mother-in-law was 'admitted' after several incidents put her into big a risk to be left at home. She is very happy here. Keeps saying how lovely the carers are, how beautiful the building is, fantastic food. She is a trying resident as she needs lots of one-to-one care. But the carers are really working her out and are doing their best. After 2 hard months, she is now showing signs of really settling in - remembering her room and toilet for example.

We can’t fault the environment or the staff and would highly recommend Badgeworth Court to anyone.

My mother has been at Badgeworth for two years now and enjoys the rural aspect of the home. The current management has made great improvements and raised the standards. The staff are all very caring, supportive and friendly to my mother and all visitors.

My dad moved to Badgeworth Court 5 weeks ago. He has terminal cancer and the decision to move him to a nursing home from the hospice was a very hard one. My dad struggled with the move and refused all support. I asked to meet with staff to discuss this, and expressed the importance of my dad maintaining his independence. The staff really respected this and worked with us as a family. They even arranged for us to watch the Super Bowl in the lounge until 2 am and provided snacks and a Canadian flag in honour of my dad!

My dad's health has since declined significantly, and I am at the home on a daily basis. The staff have been very considerate and made us feel very welcome. This includes giving us full use of the kitchen and communal rooms, bringing cups of tea and cake and providing emotional support.

The only recommendation I have is it would be good if less notice could be given to order to eat with a resident, as visitors don’t always know plans a week in advance.

Having been a regular visitor for the last 18 months I have nothing but praise for Badgeworth Court Care Centre. The staff don't mind helping to sort out anything for you and there is always something happening for the residents. The food is outstanding and with a good variety of choice. The head chef is always approachable. I would recommend Badgeworth Court to anyone.

I visited my grandma in Badgeworth Court Care Centre today. This is the first time I have ever been into a care home. It looked and felt like a five start hotel. The residents had their Christmas dinner in a restaurant like dining room. My grandmother seemed much happier. She was over the moon when the staff delivered her presents to her table. The staff all dressed up in Christmas costumes and they were very busy but happy. The home was full of joy. I am amazed to see so many families sharing lunch with their love ones. The traditional Christmas menu brought so many memories of past happy times.

It is the most wonderful time of the year! I had a great time with my mother today at Badgeworth Court Care Centre. I would like to thank each of the staff from the receptionist, housekeeping, catering to Carers, nurses, managers and maintenance. My mother is very very happy with you. Thank you very much for looking after her so well.

Just to say a big thank you to everyone at Badgewoth Court Care Centre for the perfect Christmas lunch today. My mum and I had a wonderful time with my Nan. We were served by the General Manager.

My nan has been in the home for over two months now. The staff are so kind and helpful. The carers are always available and happy to help. A big thank you to all the catering staff (lovely food) and to the nurses, just amazing, 120%. Also to housekeeping and the ladies who did the laundry. Thank you to all of you! Cannot expect any better service from anywhere else.

All the staff across the home are friendly, cheerful and warm in their care of my mum and she responds in a way that shows that she is cared about not just cared for.

The care given to my Grandma during her two years at Badgeworth has been amazing. Staff show nothing but respect and compassion while protecting her dignity. She is always clean and very well attended. Each member of the team is so friendly and approachable. The facilities are excellent.

I have been visiting my pal for a year. He is very happy and is well looked after. The staff are very kind and helpful.

The care and attention given is first class and all the staff are so friendly and happy. Nothing is too much trouble.

My aunt has been in the home for 3 years. I am always very impressed with staff, cleanliness and efficiency. I took my two friends to visit the home last week, they were amazed to see such a beautiful home and the residents being looked after by such dedicated and genuinely caring people.

All the staff - from the manager down and not forgetting the chef and maintenance manager - are friendly, dedicated and super efficient. The facilities and environment are perfect.

Upon arrival at Badgeworth Court our uncle's quality of life has improved and continues to improve. This is due to the quality of care and professionalism of ALL members of staff. Before his care started, we were constantly worried for his well being and safety. Badgeworth Court's care has also now enabled us to visit him as a relative and friend.

Mum is at Badgeworth Court Care Centre for 4 weeks respite. She settled very quickly. The staff are wonderful. She loves the food and the activities and her room is lovely (clean, comfortable and wonderful view!). I cannot recommend Badgerworth Court highly enough.
