My Mum is receiving outstanding care at Bamfield Lodge. The staff are very caring and always happy to help. My Mum's needs are met to a high standard and I do not have any concerns.
The home provides lots of activities including music events and the residents are asked if they would like to go on
day trips.
The Management are friendly and approachable and the Reception Team are always very welcoming.
Thank you to all the lovely staff at the home. I appreciate everything that you all do to look after my Mum.
I have only given 3 stars for value for money as care home fees are so expensive in general.

My husband was in respite for the third time here. Home is clean and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Husband very content here. Will look at him being here full time when that time comes.

The family have found the admission of our Uncle to be excellent. It was a complicated admission but everything we asked for was adhered to. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are always very polite and willing. One of the best residential homes in our area. I speak from experience as I
have managed many residential homes and had 33 years service before I retired.

Both my Father In-law and Mother In-law are residents. I can honestly say that Bamfield impressed us instantly and choosing them was an easy decision. They are super professional with caring and kindness at the heart of every minute of the day. We had to arrange care in extremely difficult and
stressful circumstances but as soon as we met the team we were totally assured that our loved ones would be looked after impeccably. The staff and kindness is so beautifully genuine. They are a family who will care for your family!

Can't praise the staff at Bamfield enough. The whole team is amazing and welcoming from the moment you step inside. The care is true and it just feel very "at home" :)
Thank you to everyone at Bamfield, you do an amazing job :)

We all know about the issues that exist within the care industry, even the use of the word "care" is open to interpretation, especially by those who are supposedly in receipt of it.
Our family has had an extremely traumatic experience with Barchester, which led me to question the ethics of this
business, which unsurprisingly, I found to be based on minimum standards and maximum profit. The complaint nearly 4 months on is still not resolved and have had to involve other organisations to investigate these serious issues.
I would strongly suggest that anyone who is considering placing a relative or loved one, within a home run by Barchester especially Bamfield Lodge, to think twice, as below the very thin veneer lies an organisation who's motives are at the very least questionable. Management tell you what you want to hear before admission but when care is questioned they remain unhelpful, unprofessional and totally unresponsive and will not fully involve the family regarding care.

You took my dad on the day we contacted you which has brilliant as we needed to find emergency care for him.

Please relieve my hearty thanks for the welcome assistance service during my 5 days visit to my sister in your Médicalised care home.
I was greeted by the Lodge General Manager a very professional & person of values which instils confidence.
All departments of the care home are perfectly
effective, kitchen, service, all of the staff are very cooperative & have the residents interested at heart in the endeavours to help them to pass the most comfortable stay.
The cleanliness of the rooms is without exception very well looked after.
The secluded garden with it colourful fresh plantations is a paradise in the middle of this busy location.
It's nearly possible to forget it's outside.
Please let me pass this message to all those who are hidden behind the scenes or not " Congratulations on this excellent team work to achieve such a wonderful result & all the Entertainment & leisure events which fill the free time of the residents. This is 1 example of a Lodge used as reference

Every time I arrive at the home staff members are welcoming, greeting me with a beautiful smile. Coffee/tea is available and tea trolly is out regularly.
Food looks delicious and nutritious.
Management and admin are approachable and often have seen them chatting with residents and family members.
My family member is looked after well.
No issues at all. Positive experience overall.

Mum has only been in Bamfield for 2 months but has settled in well and enjoying her time there. The laid back atmosphere, helpful caring staff, cleanliness and food and drink options a plenty ensures my mind is at ease during her stay

I have to say the staff on reception, to all the girls upstairs, are extremely helpful and look after my auntie very well. Would totally recommend this care home, if you need anyone looking after you. My aunt is happier than she's been in years.

Since I chose Barchester Bamfield Lodge Care Home for my sister 6 months ago, although it is expensive, everything is as I expected it to be, good.

Amazing. The staff are fantastic and so understanding. So happy my wife is staying here.

Very good staff, nice room, clean rooms.
17 July 2024
Perfect home in every way. My father-in-law is cared for exceptionally. Good menu - homecooked food.
15 July 2024
From induction to pre-visit to site and during the two-week respite, the room was adjusted to suit Mum and Dad in the same room.
The staff assistants could not do enough to encourage them to join in the daily activities. Food was 10/10.
A very relaxing and friendly place and will be retuning in
the near future for further respite.
15 July 2024
Perfect environment for residents. Fabulous food. Staff are like family. Outstanding care home.
15 July 2024
Overall, very good standard of care but room for improvement.
Pleased that relatives are invited to a meeting to express our views and concerns.
