My respite room was very comfortable and spacious with plenty of space for my wheelchair. It had a wonderful view of the grounds overlooking countryside. There was ample room for guests to sit and also a dining table where I could take meals if I wished. The home had arranged a pressure mattress for
me as per my needs.


The home is clean and tidy and does not smell.The dining area is always set up like a restaurant and I was able to choose meals from a daily menu. Lots of activities to take part in. There is a visit by a hairdresser. The staff were courteous and kind and always willing to help. I do not like to take respite but going to Burcott makes it all a little easier as it's so nice there.

My experience is limited by one week of rest care having only visited other care homes. It was very beneficial for me and much better than many, but understandably expensive. As I was mobile with a rollator, 81 years and mentally alright, I walked in the outstanding, beautiful extensive gardens.
The
grand old house, real log fires and happy atmosphere, welcoming yet warm and homely with caring staff, a good variety of public and personal rooms with views. Activities where residents could join in with - music, singing, dancing, reminiscing, poetry but I was not there for outings or crafts. With some, I had very interesting chats, and the less able were included well.

I didn't have the best bedroom
but that was understood before I came in at the last minute.

My mother has recently experienced a week of respite care and has returned home full of praise. She like me finds the staff extremely pleasant and always finding time to chat. The activities are very much appreciated and I consider them to be an important part of the day. I am always happy for my mother
to go for respite care and so is she.

On the whole, we are really pleased with the care Auntie is receiving. There have been a few issues with Aunties breakfast times, but these seem to have been resolved, by waking her earlier. It means she is able to enjoy her dinner more whereas before she was finishing breakfast as late as 12pm.


The

staff treat my Auntie really well with patience and kindness. We feel so lucky to have Auntie living in such a wonderful environment. Thank you to all the staff at Burcot Grange, who continue to do a wonderful job.

This is an excellent care home for the very wealthy. Most people needing care would be unable to fund their stay. The facilities are very good and the staff are very caring. We have been very happy with the care received.

My mother recently spent a week's respite at Burcot Grange.
When we arrived to pick her up after the week she greeted us happy and smiling.
We found she was very bright and alert and said how much she had enjoyed her stay.
We sat in the garden room with another lady, during that time they had become
friends.
The operating manager came and said it was a pleasure to have Mom and how happy she had been joining in with activities.
It was Mom's birthday and all the staff greeted Mom with a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday.
That was certainly the icing on the cake.

Beautiful building in lovely extensive grounds. Very comfortable interior all fitted carpets. Many different general rooms to suit the tastes of all users. Many cheerful carer staff who always greet each person with cheerful smile and concern for someone needing any help. Each room can be customised
to each individual, even if they need maximun nursing aids.
The activity programme each week was varied with appeal to everybody. The whole atmosphere was calm, peaceful, watchful and clean.

I have found access to short stay respite care for my father-in-law very difficult as understandably, full-time residential care takes president. The assurance of a short stay bed can only be given a few weeks ahead of a requested date, thereby making holiday plans very difficult without firm confirmation
of a booked bed. Burcot Grange has been extremely helpful and I feel have gone out of their what to accommodate my requests. My father-in-law who is not a keen advocate of living anywhere other than home, settled in well during his stay, giving me peace of mind that he was safe and well cared for.

My mother required some time to recover following a hospital admission. Having viewed the home, I could see that the other residents looked well cared for and the facilities were just what we were looking for. My mother has been there for just over a week now and she tells me that she is well looked
after and that all the staff have been kind and caring. I can see for myself the difference coming here for a short stay has made to her. She looks much better and is getting back on her feet again. The food is all home cooked and my mother has enjoyed all the meals. As a relative, I have been welcomed by name when I visit by the staff. I would recommend Burcot Grange to others if they were looking for residential care for a loved one. This two-week stay will have enabled my mother to convalesce ready to live independently at home again.

Burcot Grange is an attractive residence which achieves its aim to resemble a country house hotel. With well-decorated lounges, pleasant dining room and bedrooms and well-maintained public areas and grounds.
In my experience, however, what is most impressive is the genuinely caring atmosphere which
prevails. The tone is set by kind, approachable senior management and permeates everyday relationships between staff and residents. Minor incidents (falls, nosebleeds) have been dealt with promptly and sympathetically.
A staff member has frequently provided transport to enable my parents to attend a local church and this has been much appreciated. A recent cheese and wine evening for residents and their families was a pleasant and relaxed social occasion.
Staff do not simply provide a high standard of care but actually do care, as is clear from their daily conversations and involvement with residents and their families.

Burcot provides an excellent level of care. All staff are professional and very caring and treat residents with respect. Visitors are always made to feel welcome.
Residents can take part in a broad range of activities if they so wish and visits outside e.g to garden centres, musical events etc are
regularly arranged. Relatives are supported too with social events such as garden parties, cheese and wine evenings and a recent very informative "dementia friends" evening.

I was very welcomed upon arrival and immediately put at ease, as I was as you can appreciate, very apprehensive. My carer had been a manager of the community, so I had, had a brief understanding of the needs required. All my needs have been met above and beyond my expectations. Activities have been
varied and enjoyable, along with understanding of my background and personal needs. I would not hesitate in recommending this residence and care to others looking for suitable care.

My wife has stayed at Burcot Grange for periods of respite care over the last couple of years. The home offers a caring and friendly environment. It is quietly and effectively managed and all staff appear to be fully engaging with their guests and all are thoroughly caring and professional in their
approach. The facilities of the home are excellent and residents can choose between a variety of activities - or a quiet corner in the house or gardens. My wife is positively bored when she returns to our quiet home! The meals and snacks have been very well received, with plentiful and tasty food. We will have no hesitation in using Burcot Grange again.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Burcot Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.777 for Burcot Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.777

  • 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 Burcot Grange Care Home is based on 24 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 24 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.

Victoria Osborne

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2001

I am passionate about providing outstanding care for all our residents and creating a luxurious atmosphere in which the team can give their best. I believe Burcot provides a home from home to enable residents to feel comfortable with their surroundings. I love the fact that every day is different, with a new challenge to be met in the most open and professional manner.


I believe that the team and I go the extra mile for the residents and relatives to make them feel part of the ‘Burcot’ family.


I take time to get to know all our residents and for us to share our life experiences with each other. I took time out on my wedding day to pop in, so that the residents could see my dress and share part of my special day.


Lisa

Lisa Tooker

Job Title: Deputy Manager (Grange)

What I do:
I am here to support the home manager and our team to ensure our residents receive outstanding person-centred care in our beautiful care home, also that our residents feel supported and safe in their new home by the people who are caring for them. I am also here to support our loyal team who on a daily basis endeavour to give the best care they can to the residents who call Burcot Grange home.
I feel that myself and our team always go the extra mile to try and ensure our residents and relatives feel part of the Burcot family.
I feel very lucky to be able to look after residents who have had such life experiences and are willing to share them with myself and the team.


My experience:
I have 25 years’ experience in the care profession and in that time have worked in several places and gained lots of experience from nurses and other health care professionals I have been lucky to work with. I am also a qualified NVQ assessor which enables me to pass on my knowledge to new members of our care team who are looking to forward their career. I have also completed the level 4 in leadership and management programme.


About me:
I live locally to Burcot with my husband and my two dogs who are like my children. In my spare time I have lots of crafting hobbies that I enjoy doing. I am also mad on Disney and regularly enjoy trips to Florida were I can indulge in my passion.


Kiran

Kiran Chagger-Smith

Job Title: Home Admissions Advisor

What I Do:
The main part of my role within the homes is to meet families who are making enquiries for loved ones. A very sensitive time for most families and friends when choosing the right care home. I take time to understand why we are looking for a care home and to find out about the person, what they are like and their history, where they came from. It’s so interesting to hear about people and what they have gone through in their lives. I also go through managing the assessments with our teams and the paperwork before I hand over to our amazing care team and your new family.
I also work at the marketing for the home, arrange events and network within the local community.


My Experience:
I came into care by accident in 2015, however it’s the best thing that has happened. I love being in care. Although I’m not directly supporting our resident with their care needs, I can do other things like having a coffee and a chat or supporting a resident with a bit of shopping or going for a walk. I also support our families during what can be a difficult time for them.


About Me:
I love living and am always meeting family and friends when I can. They are my everything, I am very grateful for the family I was born into. I love to travel as much as I can and aim for at least 5 holidays a year. The other half and I have just refurbished our first home together which has been a very interesting experience and a learning curve for the next one!!

Ailean Henry

Job Title: Head of Activities

Joined: 2015

What I Do:
I see my role as making people smile, laugh and have fun! I fully believe that positive, physical and mental well-being comes from feeling content within yourself and your surroundings. laughter, feeling happy & secure’ is the best medicine there is. I passionately believe that the whole team has the remit of empowering our residents to feel this way & be part of the Burcot family’.
We ensure our residents’ needs are met by carrying out ‘Life History’ assessments, enabling us to fully plan each resident’s individual needs; intellectual, self-esteem, creative, social and spiritual to name a few. From these histories, I can organise and facilitate the many varied activities we have on offer here at Burcot and within our local community, with whom we have close links.


My experience
I started my working life as a WPC in the Metropolitan Police Force before changing career and going into Nursing (Learning Disabilities). This led me, in turn, to complementary therapies within the NHS. I was the first full-time complementary therapist in the country, and I was privileged to work within peoples’ homes, inpatients units, day centres, hospices and, latterly, chemotherapy units to reduce stress and anxiety for patients. I am an honorary member of a National Complementary Therapy association on whose committee I served. This involved setting national standards, writing more policies and organising national conferences. I achieved my long service medal of 20 years within the NHS.


About me
I enjoy travelling adventures with my family & sport too. My son enjoys & plays American Football, my daughter’s hobby revolves around horses & she show jumps (currently she represents her university) & my stepdaughter is a keen trampolinist! We’ve had a few visits to A&E over the years, as you can imagine with hobbies like these! We all ski or snowboard too, when we get the opportunity. My husband & I enjoy weekly Ballroom and Latin dance lessons, walking, socialising with friends and making the most of our National Trust membership. I try & get to the gym three times a week, to I enjoy Yoga & spin classes & try to get to the gym, although I sometimes swap it for a sit down with a book and a latte!
