"My wife and I have a Lasting Power of Attorney for a family friend who has been in Henford House for 3 1/2 years with early onset dementia, other mental health issues, severe leg ulcers, circulatory and respiratory problems. We chose Henford as we had previous experience with my late mother in law and knew their personal and health care care to be good. Our friend is insular and a very challenging resident but the staff still manage him with a cheery smile and he admits that the care is excellent. For the first 3 years he refused to leave his room and only left it for a shower or hospital appointments/admission. However, the Activities team eventually persuaded him to take escorted trips out and this has greatly improved his view on life. We made absolutely the right call in selecting Henford for our friend."

"Henford House is the most welcoming care home. It is 100% clean- no smells often associated with care homes. 100% professional staff. 100% caring staff. More like a real home than an 'institution'. Beautifully decorated. Rooms better than some hotel rooms! Food- amazing."

"From the moment we first visited the home we were impressed with the homely, friendly environment. All the staff we met were outstanding with their hospitality and care of not only Mum but any visitors! In Mums final days nothing was too much trouble and we were grateful for their sensitive, caring work ethic."

"Henford House Nursing Home is an exceptional care home with dedicated and hard working staff who are always friendly, helpful, kind and considerate. The care home is always spotlessly clean and warm and the food from the kitchen is first class with a great menu! There is always a member of staff available to discuss any concerns, either in person or over the phone. A model for all care homes - excellent!"

"My mother was admitted for palliative care. Her garden room is bright and cheerful, overlooking the lovely grounds. The modern ensuite facilities were essential for her comfort and dignity. My experience of her care has been excellent. She is well looked after by a friendly and attentive staff. Unable to eat very well, every effort is made to assist her to eat and the staff will cook anything that might tempt her. Her needs are quite extensive due to her illness and everything is done to make her comfortable and although not here for long, the staff have got to know her."

"A little wary to begin with due to a poor experience at a former nursing home. But four weeks into mums stay at Henford House and we've noticed a positive change in mum. She's comfortable and appears to be well cared for keep it up. The food though it could be better or at least hot!!"

"My mother-in-law moved to Henford to be near family. My background is in care and the home was the only one that I was completely happy with when viewing. Since she has been there, my first impressions have been proven to be right. Every member of staff welcomes us when visiting, nothing is too much trouble and my small grandchildren often visit with me and they are made very welcome and join in the activities which have been amazing. These last few weeks we have joined in with many Xmas activities and thee have been wonderful a truly caring, welcoming home that goes over and above to meet all residents and their family's needs at all times."

"I have been most pleased with the care my husband is receiving at Henford House. The staff are very kind and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, despite the fact that this is a very busy care home. The management are superb and don't make the resident's visitors think they cannot approach them. There are many activities for all if one wishes to join in. This particular care home is spotless and a joy to go to at a stressful time in our lives."

"Second time used this for respite from hospital for elderly mother. Manager compassionate and helpful, giving advice and assessing quickly and promptly to help relieve a stressful situation. Room and care excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for any of care staff. Both Mum and family felt well supported. The nurses, in particular, were first class in managing the medical side of things. Very efficient and caring and reassuring to both Mum and family. Gold star service in beautiful rooms and gardens."

"Kind and caring staff. Any problems encountered are dealt with quickly by management. A small, friendly place that actually feels like a home. The gardens are lovely and although some of the rooms are small and dark, there is ample opportunity to spend most of the time in a light, pleasant dining area or lounge."

"My mum has been a resident at Henford House since December 2021. She is very happy there. I see her twice a week, and she regularly tells me how lovely the staff are and says that living there is like being part of a big family. This is despite the fact that she stays in her room all the time (her choice). I find the staff very friendly and approachable. I am always made to feel very welcome when I visit. When there have been any issues regarding Mum's care or health, it has been easy to sort things out."
