Barchester Henford House Care Home

I visited a friend, accompanied by his wife, who had recently been transferred to this wonderful care home. The gardens and buildings are palatial, airy, spotlessly clean and beautifully laid out with amazing facilities and large rooms - in fact, the atmosphere was more like a very smart,...

Lot to say about Henford, all good, but this facility is made great by the staff. The staff are brilliant, helpful, caring and patient. I have witnessed the staff on many occasions and am in awe of how they deal with the residents, led well by management. Thank you.

Good quality respite care. So helpful that there are no minimum stay requirements. This flexibility means my husband is happy to take a short break and I can make the most of his funding.

The home is perfect for my husband's present needs, with the right amount of care. He especially enjoys the view from his room window, the meals and has found he can communicate with a couple of the residents.

A family-centric environment with individual care needs provided by staff who know all the residents' names.

The gardens looked beautiful, full of colour.

A friend of mine is staying in this care home and my wife and I visited him in June 2024. Together with his wife, we prepared a lunch of his favourite food which we ate in the home's private dining room. This is a lovely comfortable private space, large enough for probably 20 people but we had it...

I can honestly say I would recommend this care home.

I think they are slightly understaffed at weekends.

The staff are absolutely wonderful and caring. It doesn't matter what their job is, they all care for the residents with dignity and kindness. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my Father. I never feel worried about my Father now.

The gardens are lovely and although some of the rooms are small and dark, there is ample opportunity to spend most of the time in a light, pleasant...

My husband is very happy with the staff and the respect he’s given. Recently he’s been enjoying...

My mum has been a resident at Henford House since December 2021. She is very happy there. I see her twice a week, and she regularly tells me how lovely the staff are and says that living there is like being part of a big family. This is despite the fact that she stays in her room all the time (her...

It's great we can bring the dogs in to visit.

Advision process made easy in what were difficult circumstances. Dad has settled in quite quickly. Staff encouraging him to be active. They get him up and dressed most days.

Our mother was a resident at Henford House for six years and, during that, she was very happy and appreciated the support and care she was given. Since her passing, we have been well supported by the team at Henford House.

I have attended Henford House since October 2014 for rest breaks. I have always been made welcome and enjoyed every minute of my stay.

My experience covers various sites. Barchester Henford succeeds in giving its clients an unusually satisfying range of things to do. Important for their wellbeing. Never cease to be impressed by the staff's truly caring attitude, despite the often inherent frustrations of their jobs.

Nursing staff are excellent.

From my initial introduction until the sad death of my dear mother. Barchester Henford House Care Home has been exceptional! The entire team was professional and went the extra mile to make sure my mother was happy and comfortable until the end.
