Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family has had a very positive experience with Kirkburn Court, and we couldn't be happier with the excellent care and attention that our mother has received.
From the moment we first walked through the door, we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are truly exceptional-kind,
compassionate, and attentive to every detail. It's clear that they don't just see this as a job; they genuinely care for each resident as if they were their own family. The manager does a fantastic job, and a lot of credit must go to him for creating and maintaining an environment where such high standards are consistently delivered maintained.  
We have complete peace of mind knowing that mum is not only safe and well-cared for but is also happy and thriving even with the challenges that she faces on a daily basis. We would not hesitate to recommend Kirkburn Court to anyone seeking the best possible care and environment for a family member.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been in Kirkburn Court since April 2023. The care he has received is second to none. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place for my dad to be looked after.
Everyone in Kirkburn Court are always very welcoming. From the manager , receptionist and admin staff, catering, laundry,
domestic , activity organisers and of course the carers. They are always so friendly to our family when we visit and they are so good to my dad.
He has regular reviews where we can raise any worries if we have any.
He gets out and about regularly for visits arranged by the activity organisers and he is encouraged to take part in lots of activities in the home which he really enjoys.
I would definitely recommend Kirkburn to anyone who are looking for a care home for a family member.

Mum spent 2 years with Kirkburn Court. In her time there she was very well looked after by all staff. It was apparent from photos on Facebook and on our visits she was enjoying life.
As with many dementia sufferers. Her condition declined, but the level of care never altered.
She really enjoyed
her food and the entertainment provided there.
As with some, she will be remembered for some fruity language!
At the very beginning we were welcomed as family and this is still the case even after mum has passed.
Th care and attention provided to mum was exceptional. The help, guidance and support show to us was both informative and useful.
Manager at Kirkburn Court has always been approachable and understanding throughout.
Thank you to all.

The care that my friend receives at Kirkburn Court is first class. My friend has a great relationship with the staff and enjoys sharing banter with them. He refers to Kirkburn as his home and he is very settled there. I have found all the staff to be very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much
trouble. There is always a variety of things going on in the home, including concerts, bus trips and animal visits. My friend particularly enjoys spending time in the garden. The home always has a warm and fun atmosphere and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

my father was a resident from may 2022, until he recently passed away in hospital , but was still a resident , in the time spent there he had many complex needs , he needed a lot of care , but tried too be as independent as possible , he managed with fantastic care from the carers, nurses, catering
staff, and management, they always tried their best with him , he loved his music and quizzes and got involved when he could , he spent his last few weeks in hospital , but would rather have been at kirkburn , the staff always made me and my family welcome , with no restrictions on a visit , when he passed away , several members of staff attended his service and lined up outside the cemetry gate too see him off , nice touch from them and was appreciated by family , would highly recommend kirkburn court care home. well run and friendly. 10/10

In the short period of time my mum was in Kirkburn Court (15 weeks), we were extremely happy with the care she received not only from the nurses and care staff but from the whole team which included the activities staff, house keeping, kitchen and office. Everyone knew Mum and did everything they could
to ensure Mum's needs were met. The senior general manager runs a fantastic facility and it is evident that he leads his team well, having so many members of staff receiving recognition for long service, some having worked for more than 10 years with a number reaching the 20+ years! The activities offered to all the residents at Kirkburn Court were amazing and so varied. Mum especially enjoyed meeting the many animals that visited the home as well as the singing and dancing activities.
Dad and I were made to feel most welcome and our daily visits to the home were met with many a friendly face, a hot cuppa and a delicious cake. A real home from home.

I speak on behalf of my family by saying that Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home was excellent. It was a daunting prospect transitioning my grandad into a care home but it was a smooth process with the help of the kind and caring staff who were very attentive. It really felt like a home away from home.
Knowing my grandad was being well looked after and cared for in the ways we no longer could, gave us so much reassurance. It was always pleasant going in to visit him and the friendly staff were always a pleasure to talk to. We felt very well looked after as visitors too. We can now look back knowing that my grandad was in the best place receiving the best care in his latter life with dementia and we are forever grateful to Kirkburn Care Home for that.

The care Mum received at Kirkburn was second to none. They went above and beyond to ensure all of Mum’s needs were met. The staff became her friends, and they spent time laughing and talking with her. They also looked after me when I visited Mum daily, always asking how I was doing. The end-of-life
care Mum received was amazing and allowed her family to say goodbye, knowing she was treated with the utmost care, love and dignity until the end. No one wants a relative to have to go into a care home, but if this is something that becomes necessary for your family you could not get a better place for your relative than Kirkburn Court. My thanks and gratitude to all the staff who looked after my mum so well.

My mum was looked after so well by, her second family, the staff at Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home. Having a severely disabled son of our own, we know to look for the wee things that are seen to and if they're seen to then you know the big things are seen to automatically. And my goodness they
were definitely seen to. Not only did they attend to my mum with so much love, care and laughter but they looked after my dad who visited every day with the same love, care and laughter. Thank you.

Very caring staff who boost my dad's morale every day. He has enjoyed all the activities that he has been asked to join in with especially the music and movement classes with the kids. The girls make sure that he gets food that he likes and enjoys at meal times which takes the worry off him as he is
a very plain eater. My dad has made some new friends in the home and loves the staff who make sure that he doesn't want for anything, he is looked after 24/ 7 which has taken a massive burden off my shoulders and gives me more quality time to spend with my dad. Kirkburn has been through a renovation period and I can say it looks a million and proud to say that my dad is now a resident in this lovely home. Keep up the good work ladies and gents you are all worth your weight in gold!

A vulnerable, confused elderly lady had been found outside in freezing conditions. She was unable to remember her address and was cold, unsteady on her feet and anxious. The staff at Kilburn Court were wonderful, they brought her indoors straight away and several of them spoke kindly to her and reassured
her that all will be well. Even though they were extremely busy she was given blankets and hot soup and every effort were made to identify her quickly and reunite her with her family. I'd like to commend the manager who took a personal interest in the lady and all of his team, they made her so welcome and comfortable and provided a warm place of safety to a stranger in need. Many Thanks.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.970 for Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.97
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
