Review from T C (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dad moved to Kilburn from the hospital in November and it is now his permanent home. The staff have been brilliant at settling him in, making him feel at home and part of the Kilburn family. They know his likes, dislikes and preferred routines and provide activities to keep him stimulated and engaged. They have also arranged for Dad to have a regular visit from the Church which is important to him. Previously Dad had been very poorly and couldn’t look after himself independently so now he feels safe, secure and reassured that caring staff are always around. The weekly visit from the GP is really good to make sure we are on top of his conditions. I also appreciate how staff organise Dad’s hospital appointments etc. Dad was really lonely after we lost Mum so now he has people around him to chat to he is becoming more himself again. Can’t thank the lovely staff and great manager enough for making this transition seamless and reassuring and for being so welcoming to us as a family.

Very happy with all the staff, they are very caring and thoughtful. We appreciate all they do for our father. I love to take cakes in for the staff as they work very hard and deserve a treat. It’s very safe for our father and he loves to go for walks around. I’m always kept informed of anything that happens to Dad and I am very happy with the care given.

Staff always friendly and helpful. Sat outside but garden area needs improvement. Couldn't sit at the outside table and chairs due to staff having cigarette break. Other chairs were broken. Alot of cigarette ends on the floor.

Thank you for your feedback. We are currently in the process of decorating our garden area which will be great for the upcoming warmer months! There is an allocated smoking area available for both staff and residents to use.

Review from Gordon C (Nephew of Resident) published on 28 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My aunt is being looked after in Kilburn Care Home and is well looked after. Her nutritional health has improved resulting in an improvement in her general health. Her mental health is deteriorating and she is receiving very patient care. The general tone of the home is upbeat and positive and requests from family are met with a positive approach. The daily activities provide an important part of life-enjoyment. Thanks to all.

Review from J G (Friend of Resident) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My very dear close friend is a resident of Kilburn. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, I like so many others have been unable to visit. I am unable to speak to her over the phone due to her diagnoses of dementia. I would like to say that on every occasion I have contacted the home for an update, the staff have been very informative on how she is and what she doing at the time.
The staff at Kilburn are very caring and know my friend very well. They know what she likes and what she doesn't.

I cannot wait until the government and covid allow us back into care homes so I can say thank you in person as I know know she is in very capable hands.

The care provided to my husband is excellent. All the staff are friendly and helpful. My husband is treated with dignity and respect. It is positive that the new owners are investing in the building and improving the decoration however, it is always clean. The only area for improvement would be to improve the ensuite facilities.

Review from Meryl C (Wife of Resident) published on 17 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have been very impressed with the care that is given to the residents. The staff are so caring and patient with them all, even when some are aggressive towards them. They show love and affection to them by hugging and sometimes kissing the tops of their heads.

The carers get on with each other so well and are happy which gives a lovely atmosphere at the home. There is always entertainment planned and lovely decorations, especially at Halloween, Christmas, etc.

Review from Joan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The care home is small and friendly. The staff take time to relate personally to the residents, addressing them by name and knowing their likes and dislikes. They are kind.
My mother is clean and tidy when I visit. I think the staff do a difficult job to a good standard; these dedicated people should be better recognised - and higher paid - for their contribution.

The care home is well managed and the atmosphere is cheerful.

Review from Adrian E (Relative of Resident) published on 28 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My Uncle became unable to look after himself and had no local relatives. We tried 3 other care homes. In the last one, we really believed he would die. We moved him to Kilburn and there was a transformation. His health improved and he got a new lease of life. You can tell by the atmosphere and attitude of the staff that residents are cared for. His room is always spotless. He is clean and despite being almost blind and deaf his communication has improved.

I have nothing but praise for Kilbury Care Home. From the first day my Dad went there to the day he passed away they treated him with not just care but love that could only come from a team of staff that are like a family amongst themselves and with every resident. I feel very lucky that my Dad spent his last few months in their care. Thank you.
