We found all the staff to be kind, helpful and considerate all times.
The facilities were excellent and maintained to the highest order and would express our gratitude and thanks to all concerned.
We really appreciate your lovely comments and they have been passed onto the team. We wish you well and are always here should need us in the furure.
After a very short stay after leaving hospital, it was most enjoyable. Plenty of help and someone on hand all the time.
The staff have been very kind and helpful. The food has been good and sometimes exceptional. The room has been very good and he enjoyed the view from his window.
My mother-in-law moved to Henford to be near family. My background is in care and the home was the only one that I was completely happy with when viewing. Since she has been there, my first impressions have been proven to be right. Every member of staff welcomes us when visiting, nothing is too much trouble and my small grandchildren often visit with me and they are made very welcome and join in the activities which have been amazing. These last few weeks we have joined in with many Xmas activities and thee have been wonderful a truly caring, welcoming home that goes over and above to meet all residents and their family's needs at all times.
A little wary to begin with due to a poor experience at a former nursing home. But four weeks into mums stay at Henford House and we've noticed a positive change in mum. She's comfortable and appears to be well cared for keep it up. The food though it could be better or at least hot!!
Having visited on several occasions we have been very impressed with the welcome we have received and the general warmth of the staff. We have always been offered tea and cakes and have spent a very pleasant afternoon.
Her nursing needs are quite complex but she has been made comfortable and welcome in the home. All staff provide excellent care in making her happy in a new environment. As family members, we have been given advice and guidance to help us through this new experience.
Very happy here. Everyone is kind and very patient and helpful.
The home is so beautiful and full of lovely flowers and people.
I was bought here from hospital after my dislocated hip had been repaired. The treatment and care I have received has been excellent and I shall leave with a pain free hip.
Fairly comfortable.
Everybody was kind and helpful. The staff will do anything to assist on a daily basis. Residents very friendly, lots to do.
Staff are very friendly. Lovely and clean and tidy rooms and communal areas.
Plenty of activities.
Very relaxed, just like being at home.
The modern ensuite facilities were essential for her comfort and dignity.
My experience of her care has been excellent. She is well looked after by a friendly and attentive staff.
Unable to eat very well, every effort is made to assist her to eat and the staff will cook anything that might tempt her.
Her needs are quite extensive due to her illness and everything is done to make her comfortable and although not here for long, the staff have got to know her.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure to have your mum at Henford House. It is good to know that you were happy with the care that your mum was getting at Henford House. I have had the pleasure to meet your mum from day one and she was a lovely lady. We are happy to know that the...

I found Henford House care/nursing home to have very high standards in all aspects of the care of my father. The staff are very professional, and helpful but also very kind and caring to residents.
There is a lovely ambience of home and family, and the residents that I have met all seem very settled and 'at home'.

My friend has never been happier.
Just the atmosphere and friendliness is better than other care homes I've been in.
Lots of space too.
If there is anything you feel we could improve on for your friend to make his stay even more comfortable, please let us know. I will make sure the staff are informed of your comments.
Thank you.

Meet the Team (10)

I began my career as a Speech and Language Therapist, working with adults in hospitals, care homes and in the community. Having moved into leadership and management has provided me the opportunity to drive high standards of care and ensure that people are valued as individuals. I am committed to continuing with these goals in line with the high standards and superior lifestyle delivered throughout Barchester.
The highlight of my work is spending time with the people we support, and I am always available to have a chat about our home, services, staff, and most importantly, our residents.

I support the nursing and care staff and am available for residents and their family members to chat with and get information from.
I have a young son and l daughter who keep my home life busy!

I joined Henford House in January 2022, coming from the food industry it’s been an interesting change but I find one the best parts of my job is being able to have a chat with residents and hopefully helping to make their day better.

I have been at Henford House for more than 30 years. I am the Head of Housekeeping and I am responsible for keeping the housekeeping standards high. I am very proud of my role here and have a fantastic team which keeps the home in immaculate condition!
I oversee the laundry and the domestic teams, as well as supporting the kitchen team, I will gladly help out anywhere in the home.
I enjoy my position here, and I am always happy to help our residents and their families with questions or worries.I have 3 grown-up children and a dog who all keep me very busy outside of work.

I am usually found working on days and my husband Daniel works at night here.
I am always happy to help out with any questions you may have about your loved ones here. I am in regular contact with the doctors and pharmacies to ensure medications are checked regularly, and our residents are healthy.
I originally came from Romania and can speak fluent Italian.

I joined Henford House in March 2014; after five and a half years of domiciliary care, this position became available at Henford and I decided that it would be great to do more of the fun things in life with residents! It is great here at home; we get along so well and truly have some laughs. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week, including armchair exercises, bingo sessions, singalongs, musical entertainment, pottery, manicures, celebrations and much more. It is very rewarding knowing that people are grateful for the work I've done when I go. Working here has also given me the opportunity to gain my Level 2 NAPA certificate.

I have worked at Henford House for many years and enjoy my role. We all work together as a team and its a very happy place to be. I love being involved with the residents and even took on some care shifts. We are one big family!

I joined Henford House Care Home as a Care assistant in June 2016. I very much enjoy my role here.

The grounds are fabulous, and I have taken great pride in building a beautiful environment for our residents and visitors to enjoy - weather permitting.
I also hold a weekly Gardening club with the Residents, which is very popular. Many of the residents have had a life-long interest and passion for gardening, and it is wonderful that I am able to support them to continue with this.

Working as a laundry assistant here is much more than just working in the laundry - I get to spend time with every resident, and have been able to build friendships with many of them.
This is a beautiful place to work.
