Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home

Excellent! The level of care and attention given to my mum throughout her time here was wonderful. Every member of staff treated Mum so personally, having spent a number of days staying with Mum, I was able to see this was reflected throughout the home to all the other residents, some of which were challenging. The friendliness and support afforded to Mum and my family were wonderful and so supportive at a difficult time as an organisation you should be very proud of this care home. I would have no hesitation to recommend them to others.

Very friendly. always on hand to do things I find hard to do for myself.

There are no words to express our thanks to all the staff at Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home and we are so grateful this was our home of choice. We could not have wished for more.

The home is a home from home and I enjoy coming to see my father. The garden is excellent.

Nice rooms and food. Very good staff, very polite and helpful.

Mum seems to be happy at Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home. She is not very sociable so doesn't leave her room but she enjoys her artwork and the staff.

It was nice to see the home being spruced up bt would be nice to see some new furniture in the rooms. I feel that there is a shortage of staff on the floor, more funding should be provided for the home.

We are so happy with the car that Nan is given. She is always clean and tidy and treated with such kindness. Her bedroom is always clean and tidy. The staff are so amazing, always polite and the care is excellent. In my nan's words, "Everyone is brilliant and so kind and she can't praise the staff enough". Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

My sister and I had the misfortune of the loss of my father. With my mother having dementia, we could not look after and had to find a suitable care home. We thought this was going to be very traumatic. We had a recommendation. We chose Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home, Saltford. From the very first day. we could not have been more pleased with all staff at the home. Everybody within the first few days knew Mum's name. Whenever we too her out, all staff wished her well and would see her later. THe room was always clean and tidy but the best thing, for us, was Mum was happy to return, it made her short stay very easy. Big thank you.

Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home has given excellent care for my husband on a number of occasions for different reasons, including recovery from serious illness and most recently, respite for myself having undergone minor surgery. The staff have given him excellent care at all times - always with good humour and a smile. They have kept me informed of how each day has gone and how my husband is getting on. The meals have been excellent and are the highlight of my husband's day.

Very good home. All staff are extremely helpful, attentive and professional.

Staff are always friendly and helpful - and cheerful (most important!) Cleanliness and facilities, food and activities are very good.

Staff are kind and caring. They all know Mum's name and make and effort to talk to her. The activities provided make a huge difference to the quality of her life, even though she doesn't always remember taking part! Photos are a great idea to remind her. Management is friendly and approachable.

Great communication, and very friendly staff.

I have known my friend for fifty years and am very saddened to see physically and mentally. I have to say, I am delighted that my friend can spend the rest of her life in Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home. The care is excellent. The carers are wonderful and the care is wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble and as a visitor, I have always been welcomed. Thanks to all involved.

I am more than happy with my friend's treatment.

My mother is well cared for and all her needs are met. The home is clean and welcoming. I am always well informed about my mother's progress and she seems very happy. Only thing not sure about is activities, but this may be due to me visiting in mornings.

I have been well looked after when I visit. Everyone has been friendly and helpful. I am relieved that my sister is living here.

Having visited the home only for a couple of weeks, the carer is perfect for her role, she is a caring young lady who shows initiative and strength in a very important job. She is a wonderful person, excellent at her job.

Overall standard good. Wish there was a therapy dog visiting, as the residents would relate well to animals in most cases. Food always very good standard. Gardens are well-kept and nice to walk round.
