We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible team at Bowburn Care Home for the exceptional care and compassion shown to our beloved dad during his 8-year stay with you. As a family, we were fortunate to witness firsthand the love and dedication that the four particular carers and all the other staff involved with Dad, poured into their work every single day. Throughout his journey with dementia, our dad was treated with dignity, patience, and an abundance of kindness that brought us immense comfort. It was clear that every interaction was filled with genuine care, and the relationships formed were truly special. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the care home manager, for her professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to providing outstanding care. Under her leadership, Bowburn Care Home has been a place of comfort, compassion, and excellence for our dad and many others.

Dad was placed in Bowburn Care Centre in November 2017 with vascular dementia. The staff are all very friendly and caring and built up a friendship with most of them, they treated Dad like their family which was lovely to see. As the years passed, Dad became unaware of any of us and didn't respond to me calling him "Dad" which was heartbreaking but calling him his name he responded to, so I just accepted that. His care was always very good, kept him looking clean, well groomed and he was happy. As the years passed, he declined more and more and end of 2024, he was at the end stage of dementia which he stopped eating and drinking and was in bed and the staff always made sure he was comfortable and not in pain. The staff were amazing with him, he was looked after immensely and made his last days nice and dignified, we were with him right until his last breath and the staff could not have helped us any better. We were offered refreshments and support, they all were amazing until the end which was lovely.

Mam came into Bowburn Care Centre after a fall and hospital stay, it is clean, airy and provides a relaxed and safe environment. All the staff have been approachable, kind and efficient. Many thanks to all at Bowburn Care Centre.

I am so relieved that we found a facility as good as Bowburn Care Centre for my 90-year-old father. My brother and myself do not live in the area so we were worried about what to do. The care team at Bowburn put us completely at ease. Just watching how the carers interact with each other and the patients was very reassuring. This is a kind, caring environment for anyone with problems to live in.

Uncle came to live with yourselves after several weeks in hospital. Staff are beginning to build relationships with him and organise his day around activities of his choices, engaging him to be independent as allows for his his own safety. He is looking forward to warm weather to get out in the garden. From reception staff, activities coordinators and staff on his unit and managers and cleaners, all keep us informed of his presentation and all pleasant and approachable and nothing is a bother. Thank you.

My father came to this home on end-of-life and was only here for one week. In that week, he was well looked after and made very comfortable. The home and staff looked after us every time we visited him, especially the night before and the morning he died. Would like to thank the home and all the staff for everything they did for him and us in that week.

My mother has just returned from her second respite week at Bowburn Care Centre - this five-star facility has been my saviour. The staff are incredible - so positive and friendly. The home is spotless and always has a wonderful smell. The food is excellent, and the kitchen is pristine. I can't say enough about this care home. It's fabulous. Always a joyous experience for my mother.

Tremendous care home. My mother-in-law recently stayed there for a week. My wife is at total ease knowing her mother is being well cared for at Bowburn Care Centre. Excellent, five-star rating from me.

Managers and staff at Bowburn Care Centre provided excellent care for my aunt, showing her respect and giving very personal support to make her feel wanted. I found the home took time to understand her medical conditions and dealt with these with sensitivity and thoroughness. It was only when my aunt's needs moved into the nursing level that she had to leave and ultimately pass away. We in the family will always be grateful to Bowburn Care Centre.

Extremely happy with the home. Staff are extremely friendly, happy to help and support the family and residents in their care. I've been in many care homes as a professional and I have to say, this one is top of the list for the presentation of it's main entrances and friendliness of staff. It is also a safe and warm environment for residents and family to visit, so well done and thank you.
