I consider the Burleigh House Residential Home to be outstanding.
The interaction we have with the management and day-to-day staff is first-class.
Nothing is too much trouble for them.
We have regular (weekly) visits/calls which are essential to us as a family.

From day one, the staff have been extremely accommodating, making Mum feel very much at home from the start, we have noticed a huge difference in her confidence which is very much due to the staff's help and encouragement. Mum loves the food and has enjoyed taking part in all activities that are on
offer.

My mum received the best and most professional care from all the amazing staff at Burleigh House Residential Home from the moment we walked in the door. We were made to feel at ease at what was a very emotional time and the change from her going into care was seamless. Every member of staff is a credit
to this place.
Thank you for looking after our mum/wife.

My relative has now been living at Burleigh House for 6 weeks. I am nothing but impressed with the care he has received. The staff are so friendly and accommodating on every visit, especially towards my children. We are very grateful that we can relax knowing my father-in-law is safe and happy with
you. He looks forward to the fortnightly live music entertainment on Fridays and has never eaten so well, so compliments to the chef too.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Many thanks for your kind words. We are delighted that your Father-in-Law has settled in so well into our Home and that this in turn has given you peace of mind. In particular, we are also delighted that he loves the food and all of the entertainment we pride ourselves on. We look forward to your next visit with the children, all are very welcome. Many thanks again - Director.

I was very wary until my first week. I was so impressed by all aspects of my care, but mostly, by the wonderful atmosphere created by the warmth of all the staff. I am now feeling completely at home and very grateful that I was accepted as a permanent resident.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Dear Ann, we are delighted that you have settled so well into the home and in particular that any initial reservations you may have had about moving into a care home have been removed by the service you are receiving. Please do keep letting us know how we can continue to improve - caring for you is a privilege and we will always try to do the very best for you.
Yours sincerely.

I have been impressed with Burleigh House since my mother moved in. She is thriving in a way she was not at home and has received excellent personal care and exceptional kindness from all staff, many of whom she has formed very strong bonds with. They have introduced her to new craft hobbies and she
is enjoying life again after a very difficult period of poor health. I am enormously grateful to everyone to everyone at Burleigh House for enabling my mum to have a safe, secure and stable life. The staff are always welcoming and responsive. I recommend Burleigh House as an outstanding home.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Many thanks for your comments and sentiments. We are delighted that Mum has settled in so well into the home and that you and the family have seen a marked improvement in her health, happiness and overall well-being. We hope she will continue to thrive within Burleigh House.

My wife has had a troubled time since 2017, probably before this but that is when it became really evident she was suffering from a lot of health issues. We sought help for her but although she went to various care establishments, nobody could get to what was actually wrong with her, having known her
for over 50 years I was convinced the main problem was acute anxiety, but I am not a doctor and never try to tell them their job. I was, however, really disappointed when it was decided to place her in Victoria Court, a home for advanced dementia sufferers. We were eventually told she did not have dementia but acute anxiety, then began the long haul to get her where she needed to be and to make good the damage caused by 2 years of misdiagnosis. I cannot thank the manager and one other staff member in particular, enough for the chance they have given her, on what was a very rocky baptism, but they and the wonderful staff worked wonders with her. There is still a way to go, but thanks to the kindness shown we now can hope.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Dear Robert, It has been a pleasure caring for your wife and we are very happy that she has settled in so well into the home. Thank you for your kind words, our staff work hard to provide the right level of care to all of our residents and the change in your wife has been very pleasing to see - we will do our best to keep this up. We look forward to continuing to work together with you to ensure your wife remains well and happy.

I have found the staff and management extremely courteous, kind and sympathetic. The staff are aware of the needs of my husband and encourage him in every way to feel at home. Whenever I or relatives/friends have visited, we are greeted with a smile from the staff and made to feel comfortable. Nothing
seems too much trouble. I have never felt uncomfortable asking about my husband's condition and kept up to date with anything concerning his care. Definitely, the best thing I have done placing him in Burleigh House for anyone considering placing a relative in a home, because of their kindness and dedication to the needs of all residents in their care. The staff and management are wonderful.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Thank you very much for your kind words and review, they are much appreciated. We are delighted to hear how well you feel your husband is cared for and we are very pleased with the improvement in his health. Our staff and management team are always here for you both, please do not hesitate in letting us know of anything else we can do. Many thanks.

Burleigh's staff have been so supportive and wonderful to my mum. Burleigh's management has helped me understand what is needed for Mum and her care and have been present around the home, interacting with both visitors and residents. While I have been visiting my mum, the staff at Burleigh, have gone
above and beyond to help Mum have a wonderful birthday and really made it a special day for her and her family. I feel blessed that Mum is part of the Burleigh family and wouldn't want anyone else to take care of her.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Thank you for your review and kind words. It has been a pleasure caring for your mum and we value the input you have also provided in her care. We are delighted with the progress Mum has made and our team are very happy to see her health improve. We look forward to your next visit too. Regards.

My mum has Parkinson's disease and it is important she has her medication at set times throughout the day. The staff are excellent at giving mum her medication at the correct times and giving support if needed. Mum has started to have falls and the staff have phoned me each time she has a fall with
the reassurance she is ok and the actions they have taken. I am always pleased and confident with the staff's actions and the care she has been given.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Many thanks for your kind review.
It is very pleasing to hear about your satisfaction with the care and support your Mother is receiving. She is a much-loved resident within our Home and a delight for all of our care team to care for her needs.
The love and support you and the family also give her is clear, and even more important during the current difficult time. This in turn has made the Covid period easier for her.
I look forward to seeing you soon and thank you again.

My father was in Burleigh House for just over a year and this of course was during lockdown until he finally passed away. Not having access to the home I am not able to comment completely on all the facilities available, however, I am more than satisfied with the standard of care my father received,
especially towards his end of life and the care shown to my husband and I this was excellent.

My late aunt was a much loved and cared for resident of Burleigh House for seven and a half years. The family could not have wished for a better home for our dear aunt to live the last years of her life. The professionalism, warm and caring approach by all the staff and management was second to none.
My aunt was always treated with dignity, respect and care through all her stages of dementia right up to her passing.
The staff always kept us up to date with any changes to my aunt's health and we all knew my aunt was in safe hands.
My family and I do not hesitate to recommend Burleigh to any family that needs a professional, committed and caring home for a loved one needing care during their later years.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

Dear Alan
Many thanks for your warm and kind review.
Your Aunt was a much-loved member of our family and it was a privilege for us to have cared for her.
We sincerely hope you and the whole family will keep in touch with us - both your Aunt and all of you are very much missed!

My dad spent 4 years at Burleigh House with dementia and was a much loved resident. They treated my dad with so much love and respect right up to the very end. My mum also has dementia now and is happily living there so we never worry about her care now we know she is loved and cared for. I would highly
recommend them to anyone looking for a kind loving care home.

Reply from Mihir Shah, Director at Burleigh House Residential Home

It was our pleasure caring for your Father and we are very touched that you have shown your trust in us once again as we now look after your Mother. Thank you for your kind words and we hope to continue providing the high level of care you have experienced in the past.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Burleigh House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.896 for Burleigh House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.896

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burleigh House Residential Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
