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.

Very friendly team and are always available if needed. Progress updated regularly and if any issues occur are informed of this, e.g. falls from Mum. Could do with stacking chairs for visitors and can be very worn at times. Overall a friendly team of carers and facilities with good access and credit to all the team.
Hello,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a lovely review of Kilburn care home.
It means so much to us when our staff receive this level of praise and your kind comments will be sent on to the team.
People caring for people is at the heart of everything we do, and we continually strive to deliver high standards of care and ensuring all residents feel truly at home.
My brother is happy and settled at the care home. He is well looked after and supported by the caring staff. He enjoys his food and most of the activities on offer.
Hello Alison,

People caring for people is at the heart of everything we do, and...
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.
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 they have. His wishes were acknowledged and support at the end was amazing.
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.
My nephew as been at Kilburn care home for about 12/13 year now.I have seen Kilburn at its lows and its highs.On a few occasions I would had rather my nephew move on from Kilburn but he didn't want and its what makes him happy.After all the time he's been there his bedroom had never been decorated,well at last its finally got done and he's a happy chappy.His room is now nice,bright and fresh so he now feels like its his room.Kilburn is certainly changing,its brighter,cleaner and fresher,the new colours on the walls certainly cheer it up.The meals have improved too.The staff are lovely but not enough staff at times.The staff are helpful and pleasant.Keep it up Kilburn.Haha love Aunty Mandy x
My mother is incredibly happy staying at Kilburn Care Home, and that means everything to our family. From the moment she arrived, the staff have made her feel so welcome and truly at home. They are exceptionally patient and caring, and it's clear they genuinely look after the residents with kindness and respect. Seeing how settled and happy my mother is has been such a comfort to us. We're very grateful to the whole team at Kilburn Care Home.
Mu husband is cared for very well. He always looks clean and smart, he's settled really well, there's been lots of changes, all good. Staff are amazing at what they do carn't thank them enough.
The are staff have always been excellent, providing care and support for both my mum and me. The nursing staff keep me informed of any changes in my mums health. The home is well managed, the manager is approachable and available to discuss any concerns I may have.
No time for regular showering, etc.
Activities all fine motor table-based, group involvement gross movement.
Outside needs general tidy up, and regular clearing of smoking litter.
Internally decor, especially rooms needs a freshen-up.
The Menu could do with a revamp.
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. At Kilburn, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for our residents, and we continuously review our staffing levels to ensure we meet their...
My one complaint is the fact that Kilburn care home desperately needs more staff. My other complaint about Kilburn Care Home is their phone service. They seem to operate with one phone line and as an outsider the hours I've spent waiting for the phone to be answered. My father has been in the home for over 5 years now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're sorry to hear that your experience has not been as positive as we strive for. Providing the highest standard of care to our residents is our top priority, and we regularly review our staffing levels to ensure they meet the varying needs of those in...
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.
Thank you for your kind review - It is great to receive feedback from those we are directly caring for and a pleasure to have you as part of our home.
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.
Thank you for your reveiw, it is greatly appreciated.
I am thankful they are there for Mum's situation.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your review, it is greatly appreciated.
I find the care given to my mother to be very good, she is well cared for, her needs are met in full, she is assisted whenever needed, the food is good, the atmosphere, facilities and care are very warm and welcoming. There are a range of varying activities provided for recreation by the staff, overall the care provided is excellent and both Mother and myself are satisfied with it, it's implementation and improvement.
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Very well-run nursing home, they take good care of my grandmother and support her and her needs. She’s settled in very well with the nurse's help and support and her health has improved since her arrival in May of 2023.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback, it is very much appreciated.
