Lovely staff. Very caring and always happy to help. Nothing is too much trouble. The environment is welcoming and happy. The lounge and dining areas are spotlessly clean and the food is appetising. The staff are always happy to prepare something else to encourage eating and drinking.

What truly stood out, though, was the staff. Every member of the team showed such kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. They looked after my mother so well - not just meeting her needs, but really taking time to get to know her, support her, and brighten her days. Their warmth made a huge difference to her recovery, and she will honestly miss them now she's returning home.
Kilburn Care Home made a challenging period so much easier for all of us, and I'm very thankful for the dedication of the whole team.
My husband has been living in the care home since December 2024. He is well looked after and he has built up a good relationship with the carers. He did experience some difficulties when he first moved in but these have now been resolved. There is a positive ambience and a very friendly greeting...
The home has undergone refurbishment in the communal areas but Johns room is long overdue redecoration. It is a good size which he needs for equipment to manoeuvre him around. However, better lighting and extra power sockets are would be helpful to allow him more comfort as he spends a lot of time in his room.
Overall, we are extremely grateful for the support that he gets in Kilburn.
My brother had been at Kilburn for nearly a year before he became End of Life. The home improved considerably during the time he was there and the communication was excellent. The staff genuinely cared about him although sometimes it seemed there were not enough of them for the type of residents...

The nursing care at Kilburn Care home has been exceptional for my mother. Her medical needs are complex, and the clinical team is consistently attentive, proactive, and highly professional. Communication with the family has been excellent; we are always kept in the loop regarding her health and care plan. The facility is clean, well-managed, and the staff-to-resident ratio allows for high-quality, individualised attention. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier nursing support.

I am happy at Kilburn. The staff look after me well. I'm not a mixer with people but when I do join in with activities I enjoy them. There is a good variety of food choices at meal times and the snack trolley.

The staff is very friendly and always offers drinks when we visit. The care my dad has had has been lovely. The staff meet his needs and are very good and attentive to him when needed. The back garden needs a good tidy up and would suggest a designated area for smoke breaks not in full view of the main doors. The main decor is dated and needs a makeover (which they are in motion now). I feel they would benefit from more entertainment/activity in the day/evening. All around very nice homely and friendly. Dad has settled well. The cook is very friendly. I would suggest a snack bowl of fresh fruit/yoghurts etc. would be nice.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with your father's care & support from our team. They really do take pride in meeting the needs of the residents. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the other points raised in your review with us directly & hope to improve these scores for you in the near future.
My dad has been in a few different care homes now as his dementia progresses. This home is by far the most comfortable, friendly and accommodating. The home is clean and welcoming and the staff friendly and calm.
