Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 January 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In the first instance, The Lodge at Burcot Grange is a stunning facility aesthetically, but it is the management and staff that make it a home. The brilliance of care for my mother, maintaining her dignity and always having a kind word for her, is reassuring and heartwarming. Adapting to her needs and explaining to me the whys and the wherefores in what can be very emotional decisions, has been kindly and considerately done. I feel I can trust the team, which has been vital during the pandemic. This has been managed and communicated very professionally.

Overall Experience

My mom is very well cared for at The Lodge at Burcot Grange. As she lives with dementia, one of the biggest benefits has been the fantastic, busy and varied activities programme and the genuine kindness of the staff team. It has been a sad time during the covid pandemic, with limited visiting for the past 22 months, but I have had peace of mind that Mom is content, safe and cared about.

My mum is extremely happy at Burcot Lodge, having been a resident for 2.5 years. All staff are caring and courteous and treat residents with dignity and respect.

If I had a magic wand for where I would want my mother cared for in her late stage of dementia, it would be Burcot Lodge. The staff are fantastic - From the front desk, kitchen, laundry, to all the carers - all just so amazing. Mother is clean, fed, warm and happy. She joins in the activities and The Lodge has made a big difference to not just Mother's life but mine as well.

Review from Keely R (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at The Lodge for a year now. During that time, we have been blown away by the care given to her and that reflects on my mum in her being so very happy and settled there. From senior management down, every single staff member deserves full credit for the part they play in the way The Lodge runs. It feels like a family when we visit - we are welcomed warmly and always with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Review from Liz E (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The Lodge at Burcot Grange provided my mum with the care that we were unable to provide at home. Booking Mum into Burcot was the hardest decision for our family but, at every step along the way, the staff put Mum at centre of all the decisions. I cannot speak highly enough of the genuine and compassionate care that all those, who looked after Mum, gave to her. They were absolutely the next best thing to family. We, her daughters, witnessed for ourselves that the wonderful staff at Burcot Grange really and genuinely care for their residents. They are filled with kindness, gentleness, endless patience, consideration and a great sense of humour. We were so touched to see how Mum was very much treated with dignity, respect and fondness. She was not just a resident but she was allowed to be her own person and we are so very grateful.

Review from Kate P (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum was cared for at Burcot Lodge. She had advanced dementia with challenging needs. My sisters and I have been bowled over by the care, kindness, professionalism and dedication of every single member of the team we met. From the very first contact, the attitude is ‘whatever we can do to make the situation as good as we can’ - and then they went beyond the call of duty with personal touches, gestures and genuine compassion. And this was not just for our eyes. We stayed with our mum in her last week at Burcot and witnessed all these qualities round the clock 24/7 and 7-days a week. These people are heroic in their daily work, work which is challenging physically and psychologically but they show a true understanding of the needs of a dementia sufferer and utter commitment to making every one of their residents lead full, happy lives which are undefined by their illness. I can’t sing their praises enough. Thank you, Burcot Lodge, team!

Review from Cyd F (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We cannot speak highly enough of Burcot Lodge and the care, compassion and support of my father in the last days of his life. Whilst he was there sadly for just over one week it was the right thing to move him from a chaotic hospital to the calm and supportive environment of Burcot. And the team never gave up on him, helping him live those last few days to the best he could manage and with huge amounts of respect and dignity. Residents are treated as if they are in their own home, there are no set rules, regimes: everything is tailored to the individual needs of each resident.

Every single member of the staff operated as a team: efficient but all completely focused on the best for Dad and his family. Truly exceptional. My view of nursing and care homes has been completely revised, and if only I had known I'd have convinced Dad to have gone much, much earlier and it would have drastically improved the quality of life for the past 6 months of his life.

Review from Tracey L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother-in-law was at Burcot Grange for 9 months. It was a difficult decision to move her from her long term home to Burcot. This decision was made much easier with the first visit made by a senior nurse at Burcot. He put us all at ease and showed real care and understanding. All staff from nurses to receptionist to the maintenance man treated my mother-in-law as an individual showing care compassion and treated her with dignity. Nothing was too much trouble. We feel she became part of a bigger family. The family feel her life was enriched by the time spent at Burcot. Following a short illness they kindly received her back to care for at the end of her life. As a nurse myself I can honestly say we could not have wished for better care. Every need was met and again in her last days she was treated with dignity and care which was exemplary. We know she was special but all members of the team made us feel that they also thought she was special, which obviously she was. Thank you so much

The team at Burcot are extremely caring and attentive. They are open to any suggestions ensuring that the resident's individual needs are at the forefront of any decisions. They are constantly reviewing if there is anything more that can be done. Throughout lockdown, they have all done a fantastic job in minimising the risk to residents whilst keeping the families informed and in touch with their loved ones as much as possible. Thank you.

Review from Emma R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel so very lucky to have found the most amazing care home in The Lodge at Burcot Grange. After 69 years of marriage, we were faced with the prospect of having to split up my in-laws, due to my father-in-law needing specialist dementia care, whilst my mother-in-law was just facing the physical challenges of being 90. Unfortunately, we lost my mother-in-law earlier this month, however, we couldn't have hoped for a more loving, caring environment for her final weeks. Despite the added challenges and pressure associated with Covid-19, all of the carers at Burcot Grange have been consistently kind and caring, going well above and beyond their duties to ensure my in-laws remained as comfortable and content as possible. Whilst Burcot Grange is immediately impressive on arrival, it is the quality of care and the kindness of the carers that far exceeded our expectations. We rest assured that my father-in-law is in the very best of hands and we can't wait to visit again once allowed.

The Lodge at Burcot is very impressive, providing excellent, professional care in wonderful surroundings.
The standard of cleanliness is exceptional and the rooms provide a comfortable, high-quality environment for residents with fantastic food and a range of varied, enjoyable activities.
From our very first visit, we were made to feel very welcome and were able to discuss my mum’s needs in great detail on several occasions giving us a great deal of confidence and reassurance.
The standard of care my mum is receiving is superb! The staff are totally supportive and caring and always happy to give feedback. They have gone above and beyond during the current coronavirus pandemic to care for residents and support families.

It is a great relief to know Mum is in such safe hands! Thank you to the amazing staff for their perseverance, positivity and total dedication, it is greatly appreciated!

I've left a review before regarding The Lodge where my mother has been a resident since December 2019. I've not been able to see my mother since her 80th birthday on March 16th due to the current Coronavirus situation. I've spoken regularly to her. I just wanted to thank everyone at The Lodge for keeping all the residents safe and well. You have all gone above and beyond risking your lives and your families lives. You, like all the other people, are heroes. Hold your heads high and keep safe.

Kind regards.

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!

Karen Firth
Karen FirthJob Title:Hospitality Services ManagerJoined: 2018
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.
