All the staff have been very helpful in assisting mum to settle in at Burford House. It has been a big step for her going from independent living to the care home environment, and not without teething problems in the first few weeks. However the staff always listened to family concerns and acted immediately to adjust things to better suit mum and we know she is now in a safe environment being cared for 24/7.

Everyone at Burford has been fantastic - so kind and caring, and welcoming to dad and all the family. He's loving the food, and is really comfortable in his lovely room - also great to have the communal areas and garden. Through a really difficult time, the friendly welcome we get whenever we visit is so appreciated, and we know dad is in the very best place for him right now.

I visited my grandad twice while he was in Burford House for some respite care. I was really impressed with how welcoming and jolly all the staff were. The kindness they showed my grandad was amazing, making him laugh & taking time to talk to him and us. They were all incredible with the care they gave. BH was more like a hotel - everything looked fresh and clean, the food delicious (he certainly tucked in!) and the whole place well thought out, making it really accessible for him. He looked so happy & on my second visit, so healthy after his recent illness and back to being my grandad once again. They even took the trouble of finding him a lovely book of Yorkshire (where he was born) with great photos which he loved looking at daily & kept in his room until he returned home. It was lovely to hear all about the activities he was enjoying during his stay, whenever my parents visited. BH is first class.

My father-in-law's recent respite stay at Burford House was such a positive experience for him and us, that this review barley does it justice! The staff, in every role are outstanding, always going above and beyond to provide every aspect of care with kindness and dignity, updating promptly via telephone if any concerns or on every visit we made. Staff at all levels are amazing with all their residents and it really did not feel like a care home, but more an extension of home itself. We were greeted so warmly whenever we arrived and offered refreshments in the very welcoming bistro area. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, and the communication excellent. My father-in-law was so happy to stay and it is testament to how exceptional BH is that so many of the staff have remained there from his previous stay last year. Other residents also speak highly of their lives there. His accommodation, his meals, the cleanliness throughout, daily activities, beautiful outside areas and all that BH has to offer were of the highest standard. Out deepest gratitude for everything that was done for my father-in-law in nursing him back to good health during his stay. Highly recommend without hesitation.

Burford House is exceptional! Our dad (91) had 6 weeks respite care here after a hospital stay. The support, care & kindness shown every single day was of the highest possible standard. We had complete peace of mind. His every need was seen to and he was safe (he's very confused). Every member of staff treated him with patience, dignity and understanding, providing gentle encouragement and friendly smiling faces, & giving him time to talk/be listened to, & his requests were dealt with promptly. A beautiful ground floor room on arrival (as mobility issues) facing the tranquil sensory garden. Everywhere spotlessly clean. Initially very frail from hospital where issues not rectified. BH were incredibly efficient, ensuring excellent care also from local practice doctors visiting regularly. Staff checked on his well-being day and night and we were fully updated. Dad's health has improved significantly. Staff at every level (catering/cleaning included) should be commended. Meals & varied choice were excellent. Dad loved the bistro daily, being taken for short walks, birthday celebrations, world book day, cinema room. Life at BH fully inclusive. The main garden enabled him to sit and interact with other residents. Out grateful thanks for our dad's wonderful experience. Professional & warmly welcoming to everyone. Would highly recommend.
