The house also has two communal lounge areas, including a quiet lounge where residents can read and relax, or a large, more lively lounge which features a large screen television.

Another great delight is the landscaped garden and patio area where residents can put their green fingers to good use, or simply relax in the sunshine.

Lovely care home. Clean, friendly and always polite, warming staff when I go there.
Both my Nans are staying there and are completely happy and comfortable with everything at the care home. They’re always well looked after and never have any complaints about anything within the care home.

My mother and aunt are both in Burgh House residential care home. The care they receive is first class, nothing is too much trouble. The staff are always happy and look very content in their jobs. The catering is of a very high standard provided by the hard-working chefs. There is always plenty of choice.
Owners are extremely lovely and caring people, loved by all at Burgh House. If, and when, I ever need a care home I would not hesitate to try and obtain one of their lovely rooms.

My mother-in-law and my husband’s aunt both reside at Burgh House, and my husband and I could not fault anything there. The staff are excellent, kind, thoughtful and always have time for a chat and a laugh which is so important. All other services, food, hygiene, etc are first class too. Nothing

My Grandmother is extremely happy at Burgh House, she has a comfortable life being a resident at Burgh House, my grandmother was a very independent lady living on her own until she became ill, a few weeks before her 100th birthday, since being at Burgh House she has gone from strength to strength. She
tells me the meals are lovely and that she receives very good care from the care assistants.

From the minute we arrived a year ago, my friend felt cared for and content at Burgh House. The whole place smelt lovely and unexpectedly good. The meals, in particular, were homemade and very tasty. It's lovely to know they employ a chef and cook everything inhouse. My friend was somewhat reclusive
but every time I visited, there were activities going on for anyone interested. He loved his room with sitting area and en-suite toilet which was ideal. I felt happy knowing that he considered it home and felt glad and lucky to be there.

Reply from Joseph Greiner, Manager at Burgh House

Thank you so much for your kind words. We always endeavour to do our best and reviews like this one always help us to strive forward in the pursuit of better care. Thank you.

Although my mother was only in Burgh House for a short time she loved being there, loved her room and genuinely found all the staff to be so kind and friendly and they all treated her with a lot of respect and care. They went out of their way to help with everything she required to make her time happy.
A big thanks also to management who do a great job. Thank you!

My stay was very pleasant and the encouragement to improve my mobility was helpful. Staff were lovely and I was impressed with the attitude of making my own decisions whether the choice of meals or ready to walk with a stick rather than a frame. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I will remember
my stay with pleasure.

My mum is a resident at Burgh House Care Home. I cannot speak highly enough of the dignity, care and respect my mother receives from all of the team there. Without a doubt, I would recommend this establishment to anyone I know. As a nurse myself, I have high expectations of what a home should provide
and I am pleased to say these are met over and above at Burgh House.
Thank you for taking such good care of my mum, in my eyes, there is no other home that compares. It's of no surprise that this home has such a good reputation.

My stepmother had been depressed since Christmas after her son had visited from Bath, by April she had given up wanting to participate in life in general. We had heard very good reports of Burgh House from the carers from the council. The care home manager impressed me as his care home has achieved
great success in getting people back to good health and happiness. My stepmother is happier now with the care and attention all the staff show and continue to show. I am very pleased we have found a wonderful care home.

My mother came on in leaps and bounds at Oak Lodge. The care received by the three daytime staff was second to none. Her room was bright and spacious and clean. Residents are encouraged to mingle with others and the carers would participate in board games with them. Superb and many thanks.

My aunt (aged 94) was discharged from hospital in a very poor condition and after living in the same house for 78 years was reluctant to come into a care home. She was very difficult at first and was extremely obstructive. The staff and management were very patient and considerate in their care of her
and she is now back to her normal nice self. Thanks.

Reply from Joseph Greiner, Manager at Burgh House

No problem at all we all go through difficult times no matter how old we are. It has been a pleasure helping get her back to her positive and charming self. We look forward to caring for her for the considerable future.

When my mother came to live at Burgh House earlier this year she was very poorly having just had an emergency operation and had been suffering from ulcerated legs for years. Since then there has been a marked improvement in her health and well being through the care she has received at Burgh House.
All the staff are extremely kind and caring with a positive attitude and she has easy access to all her medical needs. There is a good social life with events happening throughout the week and occasional outings. Her legs are now free of bandages for the first time in 4 years due to the care she received. It is such a relief to me that Mumis being so well cared for in a happy environment.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Burgh House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.700 for Burgh House is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burgh House is based on 19 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
