My mum was admitted to hospital and we were told she needed end of life care as she was very poorly. She was 88. We then started looking for care homes, initially on the internet, but when we found Baycroft Kempston was our closest care home, we booked an appointment immediately and went to view,...
There was 24-hour nursing care, her every need was catered for. The staff looked after her better than I ever could have done. They allowed us to visit with Mum’s cat which meant so much as Mum’s time was limited.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, for my mum or my family. They delivered an amazing service for us all.
Mum spent her last days comfortably and peacefully. Superb! 10/10
Thank you so much for your kind words. The team pride themselves on delivering the best life possible for our residents, however long they are with us. I will let you into a secret, the staff loved the cats visit too! It really is an honour that you chose us to care for one of the most precious people in your life. When this Covid madness is over, come back and see us again.
My auntie went into Baycroft just before the COVID-19 lockdown, for respite with a view to staying. I cannot fault the care and attention she has received since being with them. I would have no hesitation to recommend other people to place their loved ones in their care.

I am extremely happy with the care and facilities Baycroft provide. It is a very difficult decision for choosing a care home for a relative, but I am certain that Baycroft was the right choice. The staff are all very professional and friendly, and I feel they all go that extra mile for their residents.
The building, grounds and food are to a very high standard, and it is a wonderful place to visit, nothing ever seems to much trouble or effort for the staff.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your review and honesty. We love caring for your loved ones.

My sister had the best of end of life care. The staff made us feel so cared for and important. Her care was inclusive and showed dignity. Perhaps simple improvements might be in the equipment for elderly/weak people. The cutlery was too heavy for her to handle. The glass for water was difficult to hold. Her feet were over the end of the bed, even though she was only 6's". These are only observations. Everything else was perfect. I would give all the staff gold stars especially my sister's nurse.
Thank you for your honesty Linda. We always appreciate our visitors reviews. Please feel free to drop in to see us anytime.

The diagnosis of sepsis, pneumonia and a urine infection was identified but immediate attention secured some recovery. A care plan was supplied by Baycroft staff which the hospital said was 'incredible'. They had never seen such a detailed and accurate document! Our thanks to all concerned.
We pride ourselves on giving the highest standard of care to all of our residents and the best comfort to our residents families and friends. We are very privileged that you chose us and thank you so much for taking the time to review us.

At a very difficult time, the staff at Baycroft made everything as personal and comfortable as possible showing empathy, care, and understanding at all times. They treated my Mum with dignity and us (the family) with a level of professionalism above and beyond what is expected. We can't speak highly enough of the staff. Thank you!!
We want to always make our residents and families comfortable and most importantly happy. We love getting to know all of our residents and their families. We really appreciate you spending the time to give us such a lovely review.
Baycroft is superb 10/10, 5 stars. Excellent in every way! Can't recommend it highly enough. This is the best care my friend has ever received. She settled in immediately and is so comfortable.

My name is Tendai Matore-Konzvo and I am the General Manager at Fernleigh Court. Previously, I was the Clinical Deputy Manager and prior, worked as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and Registered General Nurse for a combined 16 years.
Fernleigh Court is a warm and friendly home where everyone is made to feel loved, safe and comfortable which we extended to resident’s friends and families. All staff give care that is bespoke to each resident. Activities of daily living, likes and preferences are tailored around individual needs.
As General Manager of our home, I strive to do the best for residents, their families/friends and my dedicated colleagues. I aim to make Fernleigh Court a home from home, so our residents are stimulated, and all their healthcare needs are met by giving a high standard of care whilst staying with us.

I am a passionate and positive chef who beams pride and professionalism in all I do.
I have been a Head Chef for 25 years and am lucky enough to have worked in kitchens across the world including Sydney, Australia and Phuket, Thailand. I have cooked for several high-profile celebrities including Sir Elton John and Princess Diana.My versatility has been an asset throughout my career and I have adapted to different environments having worked in hotels, gastropubs, high-end restaurants and now Fernleigh Court. I even spent 6 months cooking at Yarlswood Detention Centre!
I have mentored students from various local colleges and won a national purple umbrella award with my last apprentice. I also earned and retained a rosette for 3 years whilst working at a busy local hotel where I trained ‘Masterchef - The Professionals’ finalist, Louisa Ellis straight from catering college.These rewards are nothing in comparison to the feeling I get from delivering high-quality, delicious dishes to the residents of Fernleigh Court, Kempston and seeing their smiling faces when they enjoyed my food!
Above all, I am fanatical about cooking and want everyone to enjoy whatever dishes my team and I create!

As Wellbeing Lead at Fernleigh Court Care Home, Charlotte Paul enriches life for residents. She promotes meaningful activities, supporting emotional and physical wellbeing while creating a warm, engaging environment.
