The amount and variety of outings and activities on offer is substantial. I would especially like to thank Carly for the patience and compassion she shows my friend as she manages to get him to do things that no-one else can.

I have found the home to always be clean and cared for . Maintenance staff are always making improvements and the carers and nursing staff are very attentive in a sometimes difficult and stressfull role . Residents always have a choice in meals and tea/coffee snacks etc are always available . Outings for residents are frequent and varied for those that are able . A recent management change has lifted already high standards as can happen when a fresh pair of eyes sees things in a new way . The doors are always open so standards are always as you see them .
Many thanks for the lovely feedback. The team will be delighted to hear about this..
My wife been at Burnfoot for year half now allways pleased with staff care and attention to Bernie. Enjoy spending time with my wife at all the entertainment on offer. Great comunication between myself & staff regarding Bernies care.

My mum has been in Burnfoot care home since April 2025 she went in for restbite. Unfortunately she never got back home.It was a very hard decision for me, my mum has been well looked after and is safe. The staff is great with mum and go over and beyond for her,from the cleaners right up to the management. She has had a few outings and had a really good time. Unfortunately my mum has deteriorated and it's a very hard journey, the staff have been a very good support. The Dementia Cafe provided by the home is also a very good support. The food is very good and the home is spotless. The staff is very nice and approachable.
Many thanks for your kind words and ongoing support of our events, I will be sure to pass this on to the team.

My Dad has dementia, which means he cannot communicate clearly, what are his own likes and dislikes. The staff know him so well that is reassures us to know Dad's wishes are always at the forefront of his care plan, as they treat him with dignity and respect.
I am forever grateful for the continued care provided by Burnfoot to my Dad, and the continued and valuable support, provided to all our family.
We are so grateful for you kind review. Your gratitude is greatly appreciated and your kind words reinforce our entire teams ethos. I will will take great pleasure in passing on your review to all at Burnfoot House.

We visited at least 10 homes in our area, including the most expensive, but, from the first contact with Burnfoot manger, her receptiveness, openness, empathy and professionalism stood out. Her pride in such a lovely, purpose-built home filters down through every member of staff. She is the captain of a happy & dedicated crew. Maintenance, domestic, entertainment, kitchen staff, carers, nurses & admin have shown such enthusiasm to make Burnfoot as near to "home" as it could possibly be and our relative is thriving as a result. The care he is receiving at Burnfoot is EXEMPLARY!
Thank you very much for your kind recognition and compliments for our team. I will take great pleasure in passing on your kind comments to our wonderful Burnfoot team.

I cannot praise burnfoot care home highly! After having a horrible experience when my dad went into respite in another care home we never thought we would ever find somewhere that would give us back trust to put my dad into full time care. From the minute we had to collect my dad from the previous care home to my dad eventually going into full time care the staff have been excellent, gave us the reassurance and support that we needed at the time. My Dad is alot happier, the staff know his likes and dislikes , treat him with respect and dignity at all times. Excellent communication, keep us well upto date on everything. They make us feel comfortable and nothing ever seems to be a hassle. Every member of staff we have met has been friendly , caring and compassionate. My little boy feels right at home here aswell. Thanks for everything Burnfoot care home we can't praise yous all enough.

Our mum was a resident in Burnfoot Care Home from November 2023 and the care she received was excellent. The carers were warm, nurturing and compassionate throughout her time here, especially in her last days. We as a family, felt supported, listened to and we were kept fully informed of any changes in our mum's health. We will be forever grateful to all the staff at Burnfoot.
We really appreciate your lovely comments. Thank you for your kind review.
My mother spent two years at Burnfoot Care Home due to dementia and I cannot express enough how comforting the staff were. From our first meeting, their warmth and professionalism put me at ease during a challenging time. The nurses conducted regular checks, prioritising the well-being of every...
Management was always available to answer my questions in a professional manner which I greatly appreciated. During my mother's final days, I spent five days at Burnfoot, where the staff ensured I was well-informed and supported. With my brothers in Australia, we utilised reliable 5G for video calls, providing comfort to family. I highly recommend Burnfoot for exceptional care and support for your loved ones.
Thank you very much. Your review is much appreciated. I shall pass on your kind words to our team.
My dad was not well for a while and the care he got in the care home was excellent, they really made sure he got the help he needed and the care he got from the staff was amazing and now he is back to full health.

The staff there are brilliant, they are trained to deal with dads needs and soon understood his triggers allowing them to care for him. The staff are always happy to talk and share stories and anecdotes of what dad had been up to and any trip that have been planned. There is a connection to the local area as staff are mostly local. This leads to retention of staff so you always see familiar faces and means better care for dad who has built relationships with the staff. They are able to deal with dads condition allowing them to carry out his personal care needs. He is eating well and is looking physically better than he has for years. I would recommend Burnfoot to anyone who has similar care needs to dad.
A very well-run care home with courteous, well-trained staff that I cannot praise highly enough for their impeccably high standard of care delivered with warmth and caring. A first-class service.

My name is Tam Keller and it has been a privilege to work here at Burnfoot for the past five years.Three years ago I was promoted to a senior carer and this has allowed me to pass on my knowledge and passion for the job to my peers.
It has always been one of my core beliefs that all service users should be treated with the same dignity and respect that you would expect a family member to be treated with. I also think it is a valuable trait to be available whenever your colleagues need support and empathy whenever they might need you.
