On visiting my friend I found him in good spirits, very clean and tidy, as was the room he has. He said he was happier than he has ever been!!
If there is anything else we can do to ensure your friend continues to be happy and comfortable here, please do let us know.
Many thanks.
Comfortable.
Thank you, Lynne.
The home is lovely, beautifully kept and the room was lovely. The facilities were good.
Charming people, the nurses are brilliant, attended to me over and above.
Spot on time with pills and things.
We are very pleased that you have been so impressed by the service we provide at Henford House and will pass on your comments to the team
Came to Henford House for respite care following 5 weeks in hospital and also to spend time with husband who has just moved here. If needs should mean I need care, I would come here. Couldn't fault the treatment given by all the lovely friendly staff.
My friend entered Henford House just after her 90th birthday. From the very first, she has enjoyed living the beautiful gardens and recently the upgrading and re-decoration of the house. She enjoys some of the activities and the company of the other residents Henford House has given her great pleasure and security in the years she has lived there.
Henford House is extremely comfortable and a lovely atmosphere. She has a very comfortable room and nothing seems too much trouble concerning my mother.
The choice of food is very good.
Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are all pleased that your mother has settled well here and is a really welcome member of the Henford family. We strive to ensure that the residents are happy and the staff are friendly and helpful. We are proud of our friendly atmosphere and the way our meals...
Very good house.
Dear resident, I am glad that you are happy at Henford, and I am sure you will let us know if there is anything we can improve on to make your stay with us more comfortable.
The Barchester Henford House Nursing Home staff and management take wonderful care of my mum. Very special place and the care staff are angels.
Thank you, so much June, for your lovely compliment about our staff. I will make sure they are all given that feedback.
Helpful, friendly and caring staff. Cheerful surroundings
Their 'outings' to nearby places of interest would be very welcome and help to break up the time.
Many thanks for your kind comments. We currently have access to a mini bus which we are using to get residents out and about when the weather allows. It has proved to be a real bonus, and our residents have had some lovely trips out , for example to the local East Somerset Railway , and local Garden Centre for a walk round and coffee. More trips have been planned.
A welcoming, friendly, professional warm and comfortable care home. My mother is being beautifully cared for, by lovely staff in a very nice room with a view over the garden.
I would recommend Henford House to anyone. I don't have to worry about my husband when I'm not there as I know he is safe and cared for,
Henford House Nursing Home is an exceptional care home with dedicated and hard working staff who are always friendly, helpful, kind and considerate. The care home is always spotlessly clean and warm and the food from the kitchen is first class with a great menu! There is always a member of staff available to discuss any concerns, either in person or over the phone. A model for all care homes - excellent!
Everything about Henford house is to my entire satisfaction. Their tender loving care can be felt on entering the front door. Nothing is too much trouble.
In the time I have been at Henford, the staff have looked after me.
I regularly visit my friend. We often sit in the lounge and enjoy the entertainment, having a little sing song. My friend is very happy here and she says the staff are lovely.
My mother has been in Henford House Nursing Home for nearly a year, during this time she has been looked after very well. I visit nearly every day and find everyone friendly and helpful, there you can always find somebody if you have any queries.
From the moment we first visited the home we were impressed with the homely, friendly environment. All the staff we met were outstanding with their hospitality and care of not only Mum but any visitors! In Mums final days nothing was too much trouble and we were grateful for their sensitive, caring work ethic.
My wife and I have a Lasting Power of Attorney for a family friend who has been in Henford House for 3 1/2 years with early onset dementia, other mental health issues, severe leg ulcers, circulatory and respiratory problems. We chose Henford as we had previous experience with my late mother in law and knew their personal and health care care to be good.
Our friend is insular and a very challenging resident but the staff still manage him with a cheery smile and he admits that the care is excellent.
For the first 3 years he refused to leave his room and only left it for a shower or hospital appointments/admission. However, the Activities team eventually persuaded him to take escorted trips out and this has greatly improved his view on life.
We made absolutely the right call in selecting Henford for our friend.
Henford House is the most welcoming care home. It is 100% clean- no smells often associated with care homes. 100% professional staff. 100% caring staff. More like a real home than an 'institution'. Beautifully decorated. Rooms better than some hotel rooms! Food- amazing.

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.
