Our family has had a very positive experience with Kirkburn Court, and we couldn't be happier with the excellent care and attention that our mother has received. From the moment we first walked through the door, we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are truly exceptional-kind, compassionate, and attentive to every detail. It's clear that they don't just see this as a job; they genuinely care for each resident as if they were their own family. The manager does a fantastic job, and a lot of credit must go to him for creating and maintaining an environment where such high standards are consistently delivered maintained. We have complete peace of mind knowing that mum is not only safe and well-cared for but is also happy and thriving even with the challenges that she faces on a daily basis. We would not hesitate to recommend Kirkburn Court to anyone seeking the best possible care and environment for a family member.

My dad has been in Kirkburn Court since April 2023. The care he has received is second to none. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place for my dad to be looked after. Everyone in Kirkburn Court are always very welcoming. From the manager , receptionist and admin staff, catering, laundry, domestic , activity organisers and of course the carers. They are always so friendly to our family when we visit and they are so good to my dad. He has regular reviews where we can raise any worries if we have any. He gets out and about regularly for visits arranged by the activity organisers and he is encouraged to take part in lots of activities in the home which he really enjoys. I would definitely recommend Kirkburn to anyone who are looking for a care home for a family member.

My grandma has been a resident at Kirkburn care home for over 3 years, she is currently on end of life care and I would like to highly commend the absolutely amazing staff, all so attentive to my grandmas care and also the needs of the extended family.

Mum spent 2 years with Kirkburn Court. In her time there she was very well looked after by all staff. It was apparent from photos on Facebook and on our visits she was enjoying life. As with many dementia sufferers. Her condition declined, but the level of care never altered. She really enjoyed her food and the entertainment provided there. As with some, she will be remembered for some fruity language! At the very beginning we were welcomed as family and this is still the case even after mum has passed. Th care and attention provided to mum was exceptional. The help, guidance and support show to us was both informative and useful. Manager at Kirkburn Court has always been approachable and understanding throughout. Thank you to all.

The care that my friend receives at Kirkburn Court is first class. My friend has a great relationship with the staff and enjoys sharing banter with them. He refers to Kirkburn as his home and he is very settled there. I have found all the staff to be very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. There is always a variety of things going on in the home, including concerts, bus trips and animal visits. My friend particularly enjoys spending time in the garden. The home always has a warm and fun atmosphere and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I cannot thank the Kirkburn Team enough for all the outstanding care and attention they give to mum! The whole team from utilities team , care team, activities team and management team continually interact with residents, never passing them without a friendly gesture, smile or a chat! . Residents care needs are continually assessed and the activities team keep those who want to be busy.. busy! The Kirkburn Team are not just a Nursing Home Team , they are the Kirkburn Family to mum and her family!

In the short period of time my mum was in Kirkburn Court (15 weeks), we were extremely happy with the care she received not only from the nurses and care staff but from the whole team which included the activities staff, house keeping, kitchen and office. Everyone knew Mum and did everything they could to ensure Mum's needs were met. The senior general manager runs a fantastic facility and it is evident that he leads his team well, having so many members of staff receiving recognition for long service, some having worked for more than 10 years with a number reaching the 20+ years! The activities offered to all the residents at Kirkburn Court were amazing and so varied. Mum especially enjoyed meeting the many animals that visited the home as well as the singing and dancing activities. Dad and I were made to feel most welcome and our daily visits to the home were met with many a friendly face, a hot cuppa and a delicious cake. A real home from home.

I speak on behalf of my family by saying that Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home was excellent. It was a daunting prospect transitioning my grandad into a care home but it was a smooth process with the help of the kind and caring staff who were very attentive. It really felt like a home away from home. Knowing my grandad was being well looked after and cared for in the ways we no longer could, gave us so much reassurance. It was always pleasant going in to visit him and the friendly staff were always a pleasure to talk to. We felt very well looked after as visitors too. We can now look back knowing that my grandad was in the best place receiving the best care in his latter life with dementia and we are forever grateful to Kirkburn Care Home for that.

The care Mum received at Kirkburn was second to none. They went above and beyond to ensure all of Mum’s needs were met. The staff became her friends, and they spent time laughing and talking with her. They also looked after me when I visited Mum daily, always asking how I was doing. The end-of-life care Mum received was amazing and allowed her family to say goodbye, knowing she was treated with the utmost care, love and dignity until the end. No one wants a relative to have to go into a care home, but if this is something that becomes necessary for your family you could not get a better place for your relative than Kirkburn Court. My thanks and gratitude to all the staff who looked after my mum so well.

My mum was looked after so well by, her second family, the staff at Barchester Kirkburn Court Care Home. Having a severely disabled son of our own, we know to look for the wee things that are seen to and if they're seen to then you know the big things are seen to automatically. And my goodness they were definitely seen to. Not only did they attend to my mum with so much love, care and laughter but they looked after my dad who visited every day with the same love, care and laughter. Thank you.

My mum was here for five years, she and us absolutely adored this place, her home which she thought it was. Her end-of-life care was amazing, couldn't thank them enough, as well as looking after Mum they were excellent to us, as a family. Thank you Kirkburn Court Care Home, eternally grateful.

Very caring staff who boost my dad's morale every day. He has enjoyed all the activities that he has been asked to join in with especially the music and movement classes with the kids. The girls make sure that he gets food that he likes and enjoys at meal times which takes the worry off him as he is a very plain eater. My dad has made some new friends in the home and loves the staff who make sure that he doesn't want for anything, he is looked after 24/ 7 which has taken a massive burden off my shoulders and gives me more quality time to spend with my dad. Kirkburn has been through a renovation period and I can say it looks a million and proud to say that my dad is now a resident in this lovely home. Keep up the good work ladies and gents you are all worth your weight in gold!

The care my mam receives is exceptional, each and every member of staff go above and beyond to look after my mam and our family. The domestic helper came in today to do the en suite, spoke to my mam, and remembered even my name. The carers all are very good and also take a moment to support me when my mum is so ill. The admin staff are excellent. I must commend the manager, he runs a very happy staff, everyone respects his judgement, and I am always seeking his guidance and advice, I have complete trust in Kirkburn Court for the care of my mam.

A vulnerable, confused elderly lady had been found outside in freezing conditions. She was unable to remember her address and was cold, unsteady on her feet and anxious. The staff at Kilburn Court were wonderful, they brought her indoors straight away and several of them spoke kindly to her and reassured her that all will be well. Even though they were extremely busy she was given blankets and hot soup and every effort were made to identify her quickly and reunite her with her family. I'd like to commend the manager who took a personal interest in the lady and all of his team, they made her so welcome and comfortable and provided a warm place of safety to a stranger in need. Many Thanks.
