Very lovely staff. I was in pain when I came but staff were very attentive to my needs providing me comfort. Very good respite. My back is now less painful.

My wife and I feel so refreshed and much, much better for our respite break in Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home following discharge from three weeks in hospital. I have had a bladder cancer operation. We both had heart failure. The management and staff have been so friendly and caring. I would come again and recommend it to others.

My dad has been at Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home for a little over seven years now and I can honestly say what a lovely home it is. All of the staff are lovely, very friendly and caring with a great activity team. The home does everything to make the residents part of the community too by inviting everyone in, i.e. Halloween trick or treat and pumpkin carving which my dad's great-grandchildren loved doing with the residents, big smiles all round with the little ones all dressed up. The home also does toddlers once a month which is great seeing the residents interacting, I'm not sure who has the most fun, and talk about Christmas, they had Santa visits, a donkey come to the home, my dad loved this, they had a competition who could decorate the best lounge, school children came in to sing, the local choir came in as well as other singers which come in all year round, the activities team make sure all the residents go out on trips too, there is something every day and no one is left out. Well done Kingfisher.

I cannot be happier for Mum, she is safe, looked after well. Staff are amazing, food is delicious. In a short space of time, Mum has transformed into an extremely happy 97-year-old. Thank you all.

My mother has been, happily, a resident for over six years. She has received excellent care and support from the staff and they encourage her to socialise with the other residents and seems to benefit from the company. Thank you to all the staff who work so well and caringly for the residents.

I can't praise Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home highly enough. Originally, I came without an appointment and the manager was very welcoming and showed me around. A room was available and Dad arrived shortly after. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and made welcome. The nurses checked Dad over and then settled him in. All the staff treat him with dignity and respect and nothing is too much trouble. When I leave after each visit, I'm comfortable leaving him in their care. Thank you all.

Excellent! The level of care and attention given to my mum throughout her time here was wonderful. Every member of staff treated Mum so personally, having spent a number of days staying with Mum, I was able to see this was reflected throughout the home to all the other residents, some of which were challenging. The friendliness and support afforded to Mum and my family were wonderful and so supportive at a difficult time as an organisation you should be very proud of this care home. I would have no hesitation to recommend them to others.

We sadly lost Mum at the end of June. She deteriorated over a period of months and during this time, she was so well looked after. The nursing care Mum received was exemplary. Her room was calm and peaceful. We were fully supported by the nursing staff who ensured her departure was gentle. There are no words to express our thanks to all the staff at Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home and we are so grateful this was our home of choice. We could not have wished for more.

Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home is well-run, the staff are exceptional. My father is always happy, well-dressed (occasionally the wrong clothes!) Recent improvements meant the reception area is modern and welcoming (very good, homemade cake and coffee always available). The home is a home from home and I enjoy coming to see my father. The garden is excellent.

Mum seems to be happy at Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home. She is not very sociable so doesn't leave her room but she enjoys her artwork and the staff.

I was invited to coffee with the acting deputy manager which was a lovely experience. It was nice to have a tour of all areas as I had not seen some of the areas. It was nice to see the home being spruced up bt would be nice to see some new furniture in the rooms. I feel that there is a shortage of staff on the floor, more funding should be provided for the home.

We are so happy with the car that Nan is given. She is always clean and tidy and treated with such kindness. Her bedroom is always clean and tidy. The staff are so amazing, always polite and the care is excellent. In my nan's words, "Everyone is brilliant and so kind and she can't praise the staff enough". Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

My sister and I had the misfortune of the loss of my father. With my mother having dementia, we could not look after and had to find a suitable care home. We thought this was going to be very traumatic. We had a recommendation. We chose Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home, Saltford. From the very first day. we could not have been more pleased with all staff at the home. Everybody within the first few days knew Mum's name. Whenever we too her out, all staff wished her well and would see her later. THe room was always clean and tidy but the best thing, for us, was Mum was happy to return, it made her short stay very easy. Big thank you.

Barchester Kingfisher Lodge Care Home has given excellent care for my husband on a number of occasions for different reasons, including recovery from serious illness and most recently, respite for myself having undergone minor surgery. The staff have given him excellent care at all times - always with good humour and a smile. They have kept me informed of how each day has gone and how my husband is getting on. The meals have been excellent and are the highlight of my husband's day.

Staff are always friendly and helpful - and cheerful (most important!) Cleanliness and facilities, food and activities are very good.
