Sadly after almost four years of caring for my husband of 90, who suffers with Alzheimer's and dementia, I was unable to cope with his needs i.e. falling and difficulty in walking, but I am so grateful to have found dedicated carers and support staff at Cheriton (which is within half a mile of our home - which means I can walk to visit him) who make this world a better place. He has settled in even better than I could have hoped for. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to have your husband with us at Cheriton and so pleased he has settled in so well. If you require any information or assistance at any point please do not hesitate to contact us direct at the home, and we look forward to seeing you when you come to visit.

My mother was a resident for over two years until her recent death aged 100. The care both general and nursing given is excellent 24/7 and communication with myself has also been superb. My wife and I chose this care home from 4 others not only because the cost was acceptable but mainly because additionally to all the usual facilities it has a beautifully maintained secure garden for use by the residents so my mother could enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. I would recommend this home to anyone.
A fantastic care home, they looked after my Mum, gave the correct care, showed respect to her. Also made me very welcome on my visits to the care home, in fact, they gave me the complete run of the place. The staff were all attentive, nothing was too much trouble.

Visiting my sister with dementia on three unannounced visits, I found the staff very helpful in every way. The accommodation and cleanliness etc was excellent. I found my sister very happy although she did not recognise me as I live in Leicester, do not drive but try to visit her at least three times a year.
From the first visit in April 2018 to asses the home's suitability for my mother, to the most recent, my wife and I have always been greeted by the staff and management with utmost courtesy and positivity. The home has a warm inviting feel to it, clean, fresh smelling and an air of professionalism...

Recently my mother-in-law was placed into Bradbury Care Home we chose this home as we had used it previously for another relative. He was so happy during his year-long stay. We were always greeted with a good reception and offered tea and coffee. Nothing was ever too much trouble. So the choice of putting another relative here was without any issues at all. The home is immaculate and the staff and employees are well mannered and very helpful.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Everyone here is welcoming and friendly. All the staff will always go the extra mile for residents and visitors. The food here is also really appetising and the house is always immaculately clean. The family really enjoys visiting him here and it is very reassuring to know that when we're not here he is still so well looked after!
I couldn't recommend Badbury enough.

Two very small words but meant from the bottom of our hearts.
My Mum was only at Badbury for a short while, but was cared for so well. The staff were patient and caring and always tried to accommodate anything extra she needed or wanted. It was a difficult time for the family but we always felt supported and well informed, any concerns we had when she first...
Thank you all
