I spent the week at 'Burcot Grange' for respite while my family were away. I was well cared for and enjoyed the company. I enjoyed playing skittles. The staff are all very nice and friendly.

Following the sudden death of my mother, who was also my fathers carer, we needed to find respite care urgently. My father suffers with dementia and his needs are challenging.
The staff at Burcot Grange helped us to manage my fathers illness giving him his medication, caring for his personal needs
and making sure that he moved there as seamlessly as possible. It was an extremely difficult time for my family, but with their help and support we got through that initial period that was so traumatic.

While both parents were living at Burcot they felt it was just as though they were in their own home then in October 2015, my mother died suddenly and all staff and residents were very supportive indeed just as a large family would be and we couldn't have wished for more than that at such a very sad
time. Since then my father has continued to be cared for at Burcot as one of the family and has thrived well with all their help and support. He particularly enjoys all the activities although at the moment the activities team are overstretched and we feel that they are doing a really superb job with help from the care staff, so maybe one more member taken on for the activities team would be of benefit to them all.

Reply from Vicky Osborne, General Manager at Burcot Grange Care Home

Burcot have recruited another team member to join the activities team, who will start at the beginning of August.

My brother-in-law has been residing at Burcot for several weeks following the death of his wife. He has seen this as a temporary measure until care can be put in place at his home in South Wales. During his time at Burcot Grange I have visited him 2/3 times a week. I am always welcomed by a staff member
in a friendly and caring manner with an offer of tea/coffee and cake. The common areas of the home are bright and airy and give residents rooms are well furnished and allow for them to have some of their personal belongings with them. Overall a very well maintained and run care home.

I have always been more than satisfied with the care given to my mother. The staff are patient and compassionate and treat the residents with kindness and respect. Any queries or problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently and I am always kept up to date with any matters concerning my mother.
Medical help is always sought immediately if there are any concerns so I feel totally confident in the care given.

The staff at Burcot Grange who cared for my mum did so with love and compassion whilst she lived there for just over two years. Nothing was ever too much trouble, I was notified if there was a problem and always kept informed. Mum sadly passed away in January 2016 with dignity.

There are many reasons why I recommend Burcot Grange to anyone looking for residential care. Since becoming a resident mum has often spoken of how good the staff are (for example she completely relies on caring staff to administer her various medicines) and of how much she likes her accommodation. It
is comfortable, warm and clean with beautiful views of the extensive well established gardens. She values her quiet privacy when she wants to rest but has only to step out of her door to enjoy an active social life. Knitting groups, yoga classes, games afternoons, film showings, entertainers and quizzes are but some of the many activities she enjoys on a regular basis. The activities programme is varied and impressive for a care home. Mum has always enjoyed her food and has described all the meals as "very good" and "more than enough". Mum usually eats meals in the dining room with other residents. The catering staff (as all the other staff) are helpful and will happily serve meals in her room if she is not feeling well. Coffee, tea, cakes and biscuits are always offered to visitors whenever we go (highly recommended!) Mum tends to wake up during the night and has spoken warmly of the care night staff have shown her at these times. The professional support given by the many hard working teams at Burcot Grange helped mum enormously. As a relative i value my contacts with staff who listen to my requests and queries with cheerful courtesy and seek to deal with them promptly and honestly. It seems to me that the prime concern of the staff at Burcot Grange is the welfare of my mum and the other residents. For this i am profoundly grateful!

I viewed several care homes in my area and Burcot Grange was by far the best in my opinion. The buildings are immaculately clean and well decorated, The bedrooms are spacious and light and the residents lounges are homely and welcoming. Meals are nutritious and well presented and most importantly the
staff are kind and respectful. Burcot Grange is like a home rather than an institution and we are so glad that our mother can live there.

Burcot is a wonderful home. The staff are very attentive to the needs of the residents and guests. The surroundings are quite beautiful and a joy to walk around, especially in the good weather. Although it is quite expensive, the home is value for money.

My mother has been in Burcot Grange just over three years. The staff have always been very caring, helpful and friendly. The food is to a high standard and a hot drink is available at any time. As a visitor I am always made very welcome and I can visit at any time of the day or night. Whilst my mother
chooses not to take part in the activities provided there is always something going on to occupy the residents.

Our aunt has been a resident at Burcot Grange for 14 months. We were so thrilled when she was offered a place. She has a lovely room which is always kept extremely clean. The staff are all very pleasant and we know she is well cared for. Whenever we visit we are welcomed with enthusiasm and tea and
coffee are always offered. Considering out aunts advancing years we have peace of mind that she is happy in her environment.

My mother became a resident of this care home following a week in hospital after she suffered a stroke. The staff were very professional and efficient admitting my mother as well as showing great kindness and empathy for her condition. The original room was small but well equipped. The care of the staff
is exceptional. The meals and activities are well thought out and professionally provided. The grounds are an outstanding feature of the home.

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.

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!!

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!
