Review from Cathy G (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The first thing I noticed when my Stepdad moved into Burcot was how every member of staff is cheerful, extremely helpful and kind. Nothing is too much trouble and they all made us feel that they had all the time in the word for his care needs.
The daily activities are well thought out and we loved how all the family are always included in every aspect of daily life. Nothing was too much trouble. They even organised an impromptu trip to the pub for my Mom and stepdad when We could not longer manage to transfer him in the car. When he reach the end of his life, the staff looked after us as much as my stepdad. Endless cups of tea, biscuits cakes, hot meals and a friendly smile were so welcome and offered always.

A truly wonderful home which we feel so privileged to have been part of. When you go to Burcot- you are part of the family and the care is just how you want your family to be cared for.

Reply from Kiran Chaggar-Smith, Home Admissions at The Lodge at Burcot Grange
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. It truly means the world to our whole team. We are incredibly grateful that you and your family trusted us to care for your stepdad, and it's wonderful to hear that you felt supported and welcomed from the very beginning.

Each time I visit The Lodge it's always clean, staff are always friendly & helpful. Senior staff are always there to listen & deal with any issues immediately. It's extremely sad having my mother in a home but after visiting quite a few others, Burcot is by fare the best we have seen and it gives us confidence leaving Mom in your care.

Burcot Lodge is a truly wonderful home. My mum has lived there for over a year now and is very happy. I honestly cannot fault this home at all. All the staff in whichever area they work in are so caring and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them in making sure residents and their families are cared for and supported at all times. There are lots of fun activities too. It's heartbreaking to see a loved one with dementia but The Lodge helps make this hard journey easier with their care and dedication. Thank you so much for all that you do.

The 2 weeks of care were excellent. The activities my wife really enjoyed. She ate all her meals, so she must have enjoyed the food. My wife loved the staff and the care they provided. There was just a small matter of a couple of pairs of jeans missing.

My wife has been at the Lodge for some 4 months now. It was a traumatising decision for the family. It's full time care for her but her life he is safe, warm and extremely well cared for. She now refers to and regards the Lodge as her home.
All of the staff are full of smiles and very quick to react to any requests.

The illness of dementia is so worrying, so sad but the attitude of the Lodge staff lightens our family's load. Thank you

Reply from Kiran Chaggar-Smith, Home Admissions at The Lodge at Burcot Grange

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's clear that the decision to move your wife into full-time care at the Lodge was incredibly difficult and emotional for your family.

Overall Experience

I can not rate Burcot Lodge highly enough. They made my mums transition into the home as easy as possible. In a difficult first week they kept me completely upto date with how things were going and gave me great emotional support as well as caring for mum wonderfully. Everyone we have come into contact with has been so helpful, friendly and caring. My daughter came with me last time and as we left said "isn't it a wonderfully peaceful place". The place was bustling and busy but still gave us that calm, warm feeling. On my first visit I was told I would know when I had found the right place for mum - they were right.

Reply from Kiran Chaggar-Smith, Home Admissions at The Lodge at Burcot Grange

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. We're truly touched to hear how much Burcot Lodge has meant to you and your family during such an important transition. Supporting both our residents and their loved ones is at the heart of everything we do, and it's wonderful to know that you felt cared for and supported every step of the way.

My husband was resident at Burcot Lodge for two and a half years. I cannot fault the care that was given to him during this period. The staff were unfailingly patient, extremely caring even including the night he died. The management are superb.

Review from Helen V (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We were so relieved to move Mum to the Lodge from another home. The Lodge offers excellence in every way. After a relatively short settling-in period, Mum is as settled and as happy as we could hope for.
Every single member of staff from the reception/admin/marketing team, housekeeping and hospitality, the maintenance team, the wonderful events team and of course the carers themselves actually really care.
Everyone has time to engage with the residents and their families in a warm and friendly way.
The carers are well trained and respectful. All residents are treated as individuals and their 'quirks' accommodated. Mum is always clean and well turned out which is as she'd want to be. As a family, we are involved in news/decision-making.
Huge efforts go into keeping the days lively and stimulating with excellent activities. All areas of care seem well coordinated. I think underpinning this is first-class management.

We enjoy our visits and leave with complete peace of mind.

Review from Janet R (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Since arriving at Burcot Grange 17 years ago, my loved one has come from strength to strength. His mental health and general well being has flourished in this supportive, caring, encouraging and extremely well-led residential setting. All the staff are professional in their approach but the care staff go above and beyond in their care for all the residents. It has been my pleasure to witness their interactions not only with my loved one but with others too. I cannot speak highly enough of all staff from receptionists, groundsmen/maintenance, kitchen staff, activity coordinators, caring staff to management. Choosing Burcot for my loved one was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Review from Rosie V (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum who had Alzheimer’s disease spent the last 15 months in Burcot Lodge. In the time, she spent here after leaving the hospital she settled in so well and was very happy, stimulated and well looked after. The home is extremely well run and the staff are so friendly and welcoming throughout the whole team ranging from reception, carers, catering and housekeeping.
My mum was treated with love, kindness and respect. There were plenty of planned activities and trips for residents to participate in if they chose to. The food served there is of a really first-class standard and we even had my mum's wake up there and it was excellent.
At the end-of-life stage, we couldn’t have asked for more, Mum was treated with so much compassion, dignity, kindness and respect by the carers. Also in this deeply upsetting time, our family were extremely supported by the home which was greatly appreciated.

I would definitely recommend Burcot Lodge as a safe and caring home for your relative you wouldn’t find a better care home.

My wife arrived at the care home on 29th November 2022 and passed away on 15th February 2024.

The team of professional care workers, from top management downward to cleaners, have been truly unbelievable, so capable in the love and care given to my wife. The nursing staff, in particular, have been so caring and welcoming to myself on my visits. The nursing remained 24 hours per day during her final few days. I have every reason to recommend this care home as exceptional in every respect.

I was very impressed on how the team supported us to transfer my mum from the hospital to The Lodge at short notice. The staff are very friendly and communicative. They are there, not because it is a job, it's their vocation to provide privacy, dignity and respect to my mum. The food is very good and varied and my mum has certain food prepared especially for her if she requires it. Everyone is professional, kind and understanding. Empathy means everything to me and my family.

Mum came for 2 weeks of respite care. The team were so helpful and supportive. They helped to make Mums stay smooth (from a paperwork point of view). All of the staff were so kind to Mum and took excellent care of her. The Lodge and surroundings are beautiful and feel like a 5-star hotel. The food is excellent so are the trips and activities.

Overall Experience

My mother stayed at Burcot Grange for respite purposes. I visited her there, and I could see that the staff took a genuine interest in her. They made it very clear they did not even want her to leave as they liked her very much. Also, on collecting her, they hugged her and were very warm to her. My mother is 92 and has dementia. Since bringing her home, she is also much more chatty and more engaged. A good experience for her.

Victoria Osborne
Victoria OsborneJob Title:General ManagerJoined: 2017

I am passionate about providing outstanding care for all our residents and creating a luxurious atmosphere in which the team can give their best. I believe Burcot provides a home from home to enable residents to feel comfortable with their surroundings. I love the fact that every day is different, with a new challenge to be met in the most open and professional manner.

I believe that the team and I go the extra mile for the residents and relatives to make them feel part of the ‘Burcot’ family.

I take time to get to know all our residents and for us to share our life experiences with each other. I took time out on my wedding day to pop in, so that the residents could see my dress and share part of my special day.

My experience

I have 17 years’ experience here at Burcot Grange, working through all the different departments from Administration, to Housekeeping, to Kitchen and then to Care. I am a qualified adult nurse, I have gained my Registered Manager’s award and I have completed the Leadership in Management programme.

About me

I live in the village only a minute’s drive from Burcot Grange with my husband and our one-year-old son Charlie. It’s a beautiful place to live with a very close community. In my spare time, I enjoy dining out with friends, pampering myself at spas and going on countryside walks with my family.

My grandfather, George, worked at Burcot Grange as a gardener in 1935 when it was a private home owned by Mr and Mrs Rushbrooke. In 1937 the Rushbrookes made the magnanimous gesture of giving Burcot Grange to Birmingham Eye Hospital, where my grandmother worked as a nurse. Burcot Grange was where my grandparents first met in 1938 and went on to marry, so Burcot Grange has played a huge part in my families lives and will continue to play a big part in my life too.

Kiran Chaggar-Smith
Kiran Chaggar-SmithJob Title:Home Admissions AdvisorJoined: 2018
What I Do:
The main part of my role within the homes is to meet families who are making enquiries for loved ones. A very sensitive time for most families and friends when choosing the right care home. I take time to understand why we are looking for a care home and to find out about the person, what they are like and their history, where they came from. It’s so interesting to hear about people and what they have gone through in their lives. I also go through managing the assessments with our teams and the paperwork before I hand them over to our amazing care team and your new family.

I also look after the marketing for the home, arrange events and network within the local community.

My Experience:

I came into care by accident back in 2015, however, it’s the best thing that has happened. I love being in care. Although I’m not directly supporting our residents with their care needs, I can do other things like having a coffee and a chat supporting a resident with a bit of shopping or going for a walk within our beautiful grounds.

About Me:

I love life and am always meeting family and friends when I can. They are my everything, I am very grateful for the family I was born into. I love to travel as much as I can and aim for at least 5 holidays a year. My husband and I have Bella, who I call a puppy but she is a rather large husky!

What I do
I am the Hospitality Services Manager. My main role is to lead the Catering and Housekeeping teams. I am passionate about high quality food and service and, with the support of the Head Chefs along with feedback from our residents, we strive to create a five-star dining experience that exceeds our residents’ expectations. Using only the freshest ingredients we create menus which are both homemade and nutritious. I work closely with the Head of Housekeeping to ensure a high standard of cleanliness. We work hard together to uphold high infection control measures.
My experience
I started my journey at Westminster Catering College in London, and then spent the next 28 years working for various 4 and 5 star Hotels in London, Manchester, and Worcestershire working both front and back of house. Through these opportunities, I gained a wealth of experience in cooking, food service, and housekeeping. This is my first care home position and have been part of the Burcot family since 2018; I love the interaction with the residents and the challenge of providing a service that can really make a difference to their wellbeing and happiness of all at Burcot.
About me

Family is important to me; I love spending as much time as I can with them. I also love my horses and being outside. With the time I have left in my day, I am currently learning Spanish (with a glass of Rioja on the side to get the full experience, of course).

Adam Bristoll
Adam BristollJob Title:Maintenance ManagerJoined: 2021
What I do:
I am the Maintenance Manager at Burcot Lodge, I am responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for all of our residents, team members and visitors.

I feel privileged to be part of a team that has very high standards and a team that is incredibly passionate, friendly, fun and welcoming. I joined the team in 2021.

My experience:
For the last 14 years I’ve worked in a family-run business fitting kitchens and bathrooms, this taught me my carpentry and joinery as well as plumbing, tiling and many other skills. These will be valuable attributes in the smooth running of the home. Prior to this, I worked as a manager in a catering role where I was responsible for the staffing, standards and health and safety of the kitchen.

I’ve always been a caring person and love working with like-minded carers & managers. I also love being with the residents and find this a rewarding part of my role.

About me:
Recently I started up my old hobby of running to keep fit. When I was 18 I ran both Birmingham and London Marathons in under 3 hours each. I’ve enjoyed playing pool for many years, playing for a local team, league and county.

My family is very important to me and I enjoy spending quality time with my wife two children and dog Bella. We enjoy weekends away in our caravan.

Julie Hogan
Julie HoganJob Title:Activities LeadJoined: 2019
What I Do:
I am the Activities Lead at Burcot Lodge, I am privileged to lead our activities team. The team and I plan all the activities across the home. We make sure that there is a wide variety of activities to suit all resident's needs by making sure we know all our residents and their families well. Throughout the week we ensure there are activities that stimulate the mind, body and soul including poetry classes, Knit and Natter groups, Zing Exercise Classes, Film Nights, Themed days, Parties, Religious Services, Pet Therapy, Outings and trips to numerous places, Crafts, Cooking and relaxation/mindfulness sessions to name a few.

I, and the team, believe in a ‘can do’ approach so if we can make something happen, we will. Along with all the other wonderful teams at the Lodge, we all work together to provide a loving, exciting and homely place that our residents enjoy calling home.

My Experience:
I started out many moons ago as a Nursery Nurse, after this I then became a Special Support Assistant in a local school for a child with Down Syndrome and Autism. During this time, I learnt the importance of individuality and knowing the holistic needs of children. This has really helped me in my current role of developing a varied and person-centred activities programme.
After my years as a Support Assistant, I then trained as a Primary School Teacher through University. Once qualified, I worked at a school in Solihull for 6 years. During this time my Mum was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s. This was a turning point in my life. I then gave up my full-time teaching job to spend more time with her as a daughter and carer.
The challenges that my Mum and I faced throughout her illness are what has led me to my career in Elderly Dementia Care. Having had my Mum living with Dementia this has given me an empathetic approach whilst having a great insight into how this can affect residents and their loved ones.

I only accept the best and always think ‘Would this be good enough for my Mum?’

About Me:
I live locally in Burcot and have done so for many years. I have a wonderful family down south in (hopefully) Sunny Devon and Cornwall, which means I have some lovely breaks by the seaside. One of my favourite things to do is walk on the beach and coastal paths.

When I’m at home I enjoy reading, gardening, and entertaining friends as well as visiting National Trust houses & gardens.
