A massive thank you to all the staff at Burford Nursing Home. My father and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon celebrating the Queen’s platinum jubilee at the garden party. It was wonderful to see so many family/friends sharing the occasion with their loved ones who are residents and also the staff. There
was bunting, sandwiches and treats, Pimms and an excellent singer who led some nostalgic songs, all recognised. A memorable day for all.
Thank you again for making the day special for everyone.

Mum has been in Burford just over a year. In that time we can see she is well looked after, which is a comfort, and we are always made very welcome. Mum is very deaf and a bit vague and doesn't always remember the things she has been doing, but the staff are always chirpy with her and tell us about
the cakes she has helped make, or the songs she has been listening to. Last year they allowed our wider family to use a room to celebrate her 90th birthday and provided a fantastic cake and refreshments. It was a very happy day. More recently several of us went to the Jubilee garden party, which again was a fabulous event. Everyone was happy, the catering was amazing, with so much food (and Pimms!). Well done everyone for all that effort and generosity.

At Burford Nursing Home we know our brother is in safe, caring hands. His profound deafness means he enjoys little social interaction but it is obvious from his reaction to staff on our visits that he is treated with respect and extreme patience by them and the family is so grateful for that. Contact
with Burford Nursing Home is always very positive with queries and issues responded to efficiently and with courtesy and care. Our visits are limited by distance so it is important to us that there is usually a staff member well known to us who goes to great lengths to put our minds at rest in-between visits. The recent Jubilee garden party was a triumph and the management and activities teams are to be congratulated as is every member of staff involved. There wasn't a weak link and all went out of their way to help and serve residents and visitors. Thank you to every member of team Burford.

Quality of care is 100%, absolutely. The ability of staff, through to management is 100%. Cleanliness is, spotless. Would I recommend

Up until recently, my dad was a resident here and he was really well looked after in his final year during the lockdown. I was really impressed with the work that went on, even when we weren't allowed in for long periods. Today I met up with the residents for a Love Songs themed singalong session. They
had just enjoyed a special Valentine's lunch and the new dining area walls were decorated with homemade love hearts. There were around a dozen residents and several staff members with me for the singalong and they all seemed in a jolly mood happily joining in with singing and a few funny stories. Afterwards, the residents stayed in the new dining area for a well-earned cup of tea and some love themed macaroons! The residents tell me that they look forward to our weekly singalong sessions and know the day and times that I'm due to be there. It certainly seems to brighten their day and I always get smiles and laughter. Great fun!

We are so incredibly grateful to all of the staff at Burford Nursing Home for the wonderful care that they provided my grandparents in their final years. They respected and treated them with dignity and as individuals getting to know their interests and personalities and linking this to the care that
they provided. The home itself has lovely facilities and the programme of activities was always varied and engaging.
In their final days and hours the team went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to say goodbye for which we will always be thankful. We really could not have wished for them to be in a better place.

My wife has been a resident in Burford Nursing Home for the past 2 years and we have been pleased and impressed by the way in which mangers and all staff have worked to keep everyone safe and as contented as possible , given the difficulties created by the Covid restrictions. They work together to maintain
a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere whilst keeping to the standards in a caring nursing home, The recent acquisition of a minibus for transporting residents-including those in wheelchairs-has been a resounding success as it has provided visits and activities away from the Nursing Home, especially important given the restrictions since the start of Covid. This is overseen and driven by the Activities Organiser on a reservable basis and works extremely well, We are happy with the individual care and attention my wife receives ,delivered in a friendly and caring manner.

I would highly recommend Burford Nursing Home, both my parents have settled in well and are happy at Burford. I feel secure in the knowledge that they are being looked after well and have everything that they could need. The staff have been both friendly and proactive, identifying and raising any changes
in my parent's wellbeing that may require attention. The staff have also supported my sister and I, enabling a smooth transition as our parents moved from their own homes into a nursing home.

Your care during locked and now as things start to change has been great with updates being sent out often.
The Addition of the garden room has been good as we have
been able to visit.
Seeing photos of events is lovely and the effort by staff to make things fun and interesting for our loved ones makes me smile.

Both parents went to the nursing home in May 2020 couldn't ask for better care for them both so kind, made the family feel part of their very special family kept us updated the whole time during lockdown which was so important. Sadly both parents have passed away now, but the last period of their life
was made so special by such kind compassionate carers and staff. They were all so kind thank you for the amazing care you gave them.

The care afforded to my mother, who received end-of-life nursing care at Burford Nursing Home for the last six months of her life, was superlative. The individual care package she received was kind, considerate, flexible, compassionate and appropriate throughout her time at the home. The carers and
nursing staff befriended her and did their very best to allow her to end her days as she wished, responding to her requests for anything she wanted.
Personal cleanliness and the care of her private room was excellent; meals and refreshments in-between meal times was plentiful and she was accompanied outside into the garden and grounds by staff whenever she wished - which could sometimes be numerous times a day!
As someone who visited almost every day, as a close relative, I was made to feel 'part of the family' and always treated cordially by friendly faces. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I will be eternally grateful to Burford Nursing Home for the degree of care they provided.

Just thank you for taking the care and attention with my aunt, who has lived with you now for - ? 3 years, to be honest, I have forgotten. She always appears cheerful and pleased to see me and never complains of needing anything. I feel all her needs are met and my brother and I are very grateful
for the excellent care you provide as well as understanding that she is a very private lady, a spinster who does not relate well to men. I feel this aspect has been well respected.
I congratulate you on your very good communication through the emails you are sending keeping us updated on the Covid19 situation and this enables us to feel more connected together with the advent of the use of the video calls whereby I can now see her on the camera more regularly.

I have been visiting my friend on a weekly basis for over 5-years now. Ever since the home was extended (very tastefully I might add!), I have felt that the staff themselves have become more caring, more reliable and friendlier.
The management is excellent, trustworthy and efficient, and the gentle
banter and fun that exists throughout the day between staff and residents; makes the home 'alive'.
Visitors are always treated with respect and a cup of tea. I feel that the residents are listened to, and their particular preferences are accommodated.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to those who are in need of this type of nursing care.

I really feel it is important to leave a review and comment on the courage, bravery, professionalism, compassion and total selfless way the management, administration, nursing, carers, assistants and support staff are handling this Covid-19 Global pandemic attacking the population, particularly the
ageing and most vulnerable among us.
The manner they have all handled this terrifying situation is almost beyond words and all of our heartfelt thanks go out to each and every one of you for ensuring the safety, dignity and clinical care is still provided at the highest level. When you all worked out how to handle this situation in the most unassuming professional way by announcing the security and safety of the residents, we all knew that in you we could trust the well-being of our loved ones.
Thank you form the bottom of my heart for what you've achieved so far and what you will achieve going forward. Your personal sacrifices will never be forgotten.
God Bless you All.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Burford Nursing 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.843 for Burford Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 Burford Nursing Home is based on 11 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
