My father came for respite for 2 weeks after a hospital stay after breaking his ankle. Main goal was to get him mobile enough to return home. Mission succeeded. Staff and management were very supportive. Always friendly and approachable at all times. Food here is amazing, Freshly cooked and served
piping hot. As a visitor the homemade cake and hot beverages are an added bonus

I found the care home very comfortable and the staff to be caring and supportive. The food has been excellent. I am more than happy that I followed up the physio's suggestion to book a stay here and my family on visiting me have been very impressed. I would not hesitate to recommend Bere Grove to
anyone.

Sandra was made to feel very welcome when she arrived. She was well looked after and we were kept well informed with how she was settling in. The setting is beautiful and tranquil and very high quality.
Thank you!

Prior to Mum going into Bere Grove both my sister and I were concerned about how she would settle. However as soon as she arrived all the staff made her feel so welcome, we all relaxed. Mum has now been there for over 3 weeks, and she is loving it. She's made friends, loves the activities, the trips
and of course the amazing food.
Now my sister and I enjoy visiting Mum seeing her so happy. Thank you!

A wonderful team who's care & kindness along with many other things, have restored my strength in mind, body, & soul. A very quiet & peaceful setting, - not just myself appreciates, other
residents also, Great pleasure along with beautiful gardens & activities - I could go on and on. Yes its 100% for a fantastic care home & facilities. Heartfelt thanks to all.
I wish the home & team all the very best for the future.

Staff are very attentive and are on hand to assist mobility and general requirements. Breakfast is excellent and variety of food good. The use of coffee machine excellent and also facilities offered to visitors. Choice of food offered at main meals should be judged by quantity and variety of food
put in waste bin.

My experience has been a positive one. All the staff I encountered were helpful and friendly, regularly checking in on my mum to see if she required anything. Mum has felt settled and cared for which has relieved a lot of pressure off of me. Mum felt the mattress could have been thicker as she found
it uncomfortable.

There is nothing to complain about with Bere Grove. The whole experience from start to finish has been positive. My mum has been there for 2 weeks of respite care post-operation and has never looked so well. The staff are brilliant. They are so kind and respectful to all the residents and very
welcoming to us.

Dad was no longer safe at home so we contacted Barcheter Bere Grove. The management has been very helpful. They have accommodated Dad's desires for furniture, TV and pictures etc in his room. The staff have been brilliant, very helpful, caring and patient. Everything has gone very well. The food is
excellent. The facilities and activities are great, it is like an excellent hotel. The carers are very attentive.

I came to Bere Grove for 2 weeks respite care but after 1 week I have decided to stay permanently and I am now in the process of converting to permanent. It's a lovely home, staff are lovely and manager is excellent.
The food is delicious and everyone at Bere Grove is helpful.

I was the first resident at Barchester Bere Grove Care Home in September 2023 when it opened for business. I have watched it grow in number and have become good friends of several of the carers.
Unfortunately, I depend on help as I am not strong on my legs and my balance is poor. I receive
excellent care though sometimes I have to wait for help. That is simply due to limited staff when residents are most demanding.
I enjoy the varied activities on offer. The atmosphere here is very friendly and caring. I am lucky to be in such a comfortable residential care home.
I am easily frightened but here at Bere Grove, I feel totally protected from outside harm.
