My dad has been in Burnlea for over a year now and has settled in very well. He is happy and well looked after by everyone concerned. He takes part in most activities and enjoys going outside on Trishaw outings and to the lovely gardens. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and attentive
to his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Burnlea to anyone as it is always a pleasure to visit!

My mother has been at Burnlea now for close on 2 years. She is approaching her 102nd birthday and until going in to Burnlea was living independently at home - we had been trying for a number of years to get her to move in to a home or some sheltered accommodation but she wouldn't agree but
eventually she had a fall and then agreed with the move - the family were a bit concerned as to how she would take to the change but we need not have worried. From our initial contact with Burnlea right through to this day we have had no concerns whatsover with any aspect of the care she is receiving - she seems to enjoy the food (although she can never remember what she had), gets involved with the various activities, and seems to have a good rappor with the staff. On the odd occasion we have wanted to discuss any aspect of mam's care we have always found the staff very approachable whether it be the manager, nurses or care assistants - thank you all for the care you are giving mother.

Knowing that Mum had reached the stage where she required a care home, we faced the difficult decision of where would be best for her. Now, after almost a year at Burnlea, we have nothing but high praise for Burnlea and its staff - at all levels - who provide a warm, welcoming, and caring
environment not only for Mum but for family, friends and neighbours who pop in to visit. Over this past year Mum's health and wellbeing has greatly improved and she has enjoyed a much better quality of life. The leadership is excellent, there is a very positive and dynamic team spirit, and the environment is stimulating and supportive. The manager and staff are highly responsive to Mum's needs and our suggestions. Thanks so much to all at Burnlea.

We continue to be thankful to the care our Mum receives within the Burnlea family. Our family visit her regularly and we phone and do video calls, which she looks forward to and we have a good chat and lots of laughter. I'm happy to see Mum is healthier, eating nourishing food and more importantly
is safer than being at home. She does miss home, but understands she has great care and all her needs are met.
Thank you to all the staff again for all you do for Mum and the friendly smiles, offer of hot drinks and food for us who visit. Very best wishes to you all xxx

I cannot praise Burnlea highly enough. It is an absolute pleasure visiting my father, who is being so well cared for. The manager is so proactive and forward-thinking, always looking for ways to provide even better care. The nursing and care staff are kind and compassionate, and really know my dad
as an individual. Today he was presented with a home-made birthday cake in his favourite colour. The entertainment provided is great fun and varied; communication is excellent, with regular e-mails, events and the fantastic social media page. The staff at Burnlea treat my father, who has dementia, with such kindness, compassion and respect, and I have absolute trust in them to provide him with the best care possible in cheerful, stimulating and spotless surroundings. I am truly grateful that my dad can call Burnlea home.

Poor experience, very disappointed with Care Home Manager. It was clear from onset that any individual with moderate dementia will not be supported to transition from home and be offered a settling in period. If your relative has cognitive decline then please do not consider this care home.
Fortunately my father has now settled into another care home which offers the skill set and competence which this care home lacks.

Great care from all the staff. Plenty of activities in the home. I have no complaints at all. The staff are helpful, friendly and efficient. They can't do enough. Mum is settled and happy. Excellent.

Burnlea have taken amazing and compassionate care of my elderly mother, her needs are completely taken care of in every respect.
Staff are amazing, patient and so friendly.
So glad I found this home and so glad they had room for my mother.
The home is spotless, and has an amazing cook.
Loads of
interaction and sociable things going on.
An absolute gem.

Dad came to Burnlea straight from hospital. We were overjoyed when we heard a room was free for him as, being local, we knew he was about to receive the very best of care.
The first big surprise was when we visited the day after he had been admitted, after languishing in hospital for over 3
months, and found him in the sitting room looking as if he'd never been in hospital at all. He was fully clothed, washed, shaved, looking a 'million dollars'. What a relief! On looking around all the residents looked really well turned out, there was none of the 'old people stench' I'd experienced when Mum had been in care, the whole place was spotlessly clean and fresh but most of all the staff were all bright eyed and genuinely friendly. It honestly feels like Dad is being looked after by members his own family.
After so many years of looking after my Dad's concerns it's a huge relief not to be worried about his care.
This is an exceptionally well-managed home!

My mum has been a resident at Burnlea since autumn 2023 - I have been really impressed with the standard of care she has received. Mum's care, both in terms of general care and nursing care, has been of a high standard. Prior to entering Burnlea, there was not a day that went by without Mum telling
me about her pain - now she never reports being sore. She has gained much needed weight. She has been very well looked after by a friendly and happy team.

My dad has been in for a couple of years now and has been extremely well looked after, he is delighted to get such great care as are we.
We visit regularly with the kids and we are always welcomed in.
The home are also great at staying in contact and letting us know about everything that is going
on.

I really cannot fault anything about Burnlea. The care is excellent and the general attention to detail is very high.
Even though the main building is old, it is kept in a very good state of repair. I think many of the residents feel very at Home there.

Everytime I visited the care home I received a warm welcome from all the staff. I always found my mum well-presented and clean and tidy. Her room is very clean and tidy too and her toilet and shower area well kept. Mum is pleased to see information kept on her whiteboard in her room and new
information added by family when they visit. Mum has told me she enjoys her meals and the afternoon activities.

Burnlea Care Home has looked after my father, who has dementia, for several months. I am always struck by how caring and thoughtful the staff are to my father and also my mother when she visits. They have helped make a difficult time for my family more bearable.
