My/our father was in Burnfoot for almost the last two years of his life and what a friendly busy place it is. They catered for his every need without a second thought and included Mum and I too, lots of birthdays, anniversaries, valentines days etc. Always with a special touch to leave treasured memories, for those left behind. Dad's final week in Burnfoot was treasured by our whole family. We were able to stay with him to the end and for as long as we needed, after. All the staff and especially the night shift, made sure we were as comfortable as possible. For that, we are truly thankful. Keep up the good work all.
Thank you very much for your review and thank you for recognizing our night shift team, they really do a great job. I will make sure our staff get your positive feedback. We are so grateful for your kind words.

My dad passed away at the end of July and he was Mum's primary carer. Without him, she become extremely confused, upset, disorientated and was becoming a danger to herself and others. On entering Burnfoot, she instantly calmed down. The staff took time to help her adjust and ensure she's kept active, which she needs and loves. Mum has been able to choose her own interiors for her bedroom and adores it. She is so happy and it means we can rest easy, knowing she is so well looked after. Amazing place.
We are all very grateful for your feedback. I will pass on your kind words to our staff team. Many thanks.

Couldn't ask for a better home for my gran to live in. She was in another care home before moving to Burnfoot but wouldn't settle. She has settled in great since being here and all members of staff treat her like family. She is always clean, well-looked after and happy. There is always activities on to keep the residents busy. It is amazing to see how at home she is when we visit. Couldn't thank everyone enough for everything they have done for her over the years. 100% well-deserved 5 stars.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback, and we are very grateful for your kind words.

All staff at Burnfoot Care Home, are fantastic. They looked after my dad for nearly two years. In his last few months, he deteriorated. The staff looked after him and us and family members, who stayed with my dad, till his end of life. They helped celebrate my dad's birthdays and also my mum and dad's 60th wedding anniversary. Nothing was too much trouble. I can't praise the home and staff enough and highly recommend this home. The social media page enabled you to see what activities they got up to each week, which was great to see them all interacting!
It was our pleasure to care for your dad and to make each special occasion, a happy and celebrated one. Thank you for your positive feedback and kind words, it is much appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review. We appreciate your kind words and positive feedback. We found it a pleasure looking after your dad and are grateful to all the family for being so friendly and supportive, during the time of your dad's care.
Despite my father being in Burnfoot Care Home for only 3 months, it was the perfect place for him, due to the great atmosphere within the home. He got the 24/7 care he certainly needed, which meant he could relax in the calming environment. This meant the family could stop worrying about him, as...
The family would like to thank all the carers for what they did for dad.
Thank you very much.
I have lived in Burnfoot for around a year and a half. I like living here. I get on good with the staff. I enjoy the food provided. Peaceful place to live out your days. I am able to stay mainly independent when living here. Everything I need and want is quickly accommodated.

Having recently been informed that my brother passed away in the care of Burnfoot Care Home, I contacted them for some information. I found the manager to be very informative and compassionate. She gave me many insights into the stay of my brother in their care. The home appears to take pride in the care and comfort of its residents and of their families. I was very impressed by them.
We were all appreciative of the information shared and we thank you very much for your kind review.
Excellent care given to my wee mum-in-law by all staff. Since arriving at the home, my wee mum-in-law has settled in great. And all family members are over the moon with the standard of care given.

We are so grateful for your review and so happy your mother-in-law has settled in. I will share your review with the team. Thank you.
My mother moved into Burnfoot, a few months ago and she is happy and well looked after. She is more settled and happy to interact with other residents and the team. When we visit, we are made very welcome. We are kept well informed on her health and well being and can't thank the team enough.

Thanks for your review. We are so happy mum has settled in so well and so quickly. At Burnfoot, we aim to ensure that all visits are pleasurable to both residents and family members, as we know how much this means to everyone.
I hate to see my brother in this situation after being such an active person who cared about the community and ran the Girvan football club for years. He also did several marathons to raise money for local charities as did another of your residents, just a shame they are not in the same wing as...
My only criticism which is very minor is the staff don’t always have their name tags on. But hats off to them all I think they are fab!!
And the first thing I get offered is a cuppa which is great after the drive from Girvan. Thank god for people like you and I think your pay should be on a par with NHS nurses. You are all fantastic!
Thank you for your review Margaret it means a great deal to myself and my team. We are currently looking into having our names embroidered onto our uniforms for safety reasons. I will pass on your comments and views to the staff. Thanks again
I feel my son is well looked after. His room is warm and he is fed well. I feel he gets on well with the staff. I have peace of mind he is safe.

On my mum's Ruby anniversary I asked staff to post pictures of my mum and family gifts of the day and still at 7 pm no pictures or information of this special day. After calling the home they informed us of an accident seven hours previously (bear in mind I called at 11.30 am and nothing was...
Her daughter, I was told she has dementia and she's deteriorating so it's not like she will remember today. Am sorry but no one should ever say that to me or a family member. We have to live with her condition every day and it was the worst day of our life the day my mum got taken out of our care!

I saw my husband in the visiting room. He was in excellent spirits, happy and has definitely thrived since he has been at Burnfoot Care Home. To me the care is exemplary. I was so pleased to see how well looked after he is - smart, clean-shaven and healthy. The attending staff were kind and helpful to my cousin (who was with me) and myself. I felt uplifted and positive after seeing him so settled in Burnfoot.
Thank you, Ann, for your kind review. I will pass this on to the staff who have also noticed how well he has settled and indeed thrived. We will continue to provide exceptional care and hope that each of your visits is as positive as this one.

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.
