Reviews for Henford House Care Home

"My mother was a resident in Henford House for 20 months until at the age of 93 she passed away, I used to visit her every day except Sunday (that was my day with my husband). I knew a lot of the staff and knew how well my mother was cared for so when it was decided I needed a week's respite after losing my husband earlier this year Henford House was the obvious place for me to go."

The Athenaeum Singers always enjoy giving concerts; after all, singing for other people is the main motivation for joining the choir. However there is something special about the occasions when we are invited to sing to the residents at Henford House in Warminster. We are always given such a warm welcome so it has an important position in our events calendar. On our most recent visit in June this year ( 2025 ) about fifteen residents joined in with a medley of old and well known songs. We sang in their beautiful sitting room, full of light and surrounded by trees and smiles. It was eveident that everyone, staff and residents alike, responded to the joy of singing together. We look forward to our next visit.

"Mum has been in Henford House for a few weeks now - initially as respite care but is now a permanent resident with nursing needs. All the staff are very welcoming and the nursing care is second to none. They identified when she needed to go into hospital for a couple of weeks and she is looking better than she has done for a long time. Overall she is very well looked after."

"I cannot praise your staff enough. On every level they have provided our mum with the most amazing care. My mother has had a few months of respite and could not have been looked after better. Nothing is too much trouble ^ the knowledge of staff to help us get all the help mum needed. My mother hasn't looked as well as she does now for many years. She is on fine form now and her recovery could not have gone better."

A beautiful house and grounds with very welcoming staff. The Warminster Community Choir really enjoyed visiting to sing for the residents. A lovely time had by all.

"Since retiring at the age of 67, my husband, professional painter and decorator, has developed depression, followed by Alzheimer's, at first manageable, last two years have been very hard for me to care for him 24/7 with very little help from NHS. On 3rd Jan 25 admitted to hospital where stayed til 28th Feb 25. Henford House is my and his saviour."

"Staff always cheerful and helpful. Lovely with our mother."

"Initial fears and reluctance of putting my husband into a nursing home have been allayed. He is so well treated and looked after, I can go home each day happy that he is settled into his new 'home' and engaging with the staff."

Just been to visit an elderly friend who is a resident at Henford and would like to say how well the staff are looking after her. She looked fresh and clean and comfortable. Her room including the bathroom were immaculately clean.
The staff were friendly and caring and when I left during lunch the dining room was full of residents enjoying their meal and the decor resembled a high end hotel.
Well done for making the residents twilight years as comfortable and as happy as possible.

"I have only been here for eight days so I am still learning. I expect to be moved to the room of my choice when the heating is fixed."

"Friendly staff, comfortable, warm, my birds are happy."

"We have always been very pleased with the care my aunt received. My aunt was very happy at Barchester Henford House Care Home and being almost 3 hours away, it was a comfort to us knowing she was well cared for and happy. The staff were always friendly, helpful and very good with communication and updates. The staff were very respectful, informative and helpful when my aunt died recently."

We had a great visit to Henford house. All the staff were so welcoming especially Debbie who is in charge of events and entertainment for the residents.

"I visited my mother-in-law to attend the fish and chips club. It was a really enjoyable experience. Thank you to all the staff, including the chef."

"Good range of activities. Exceedingly welcoming room. Staff are lovely. Looking forward to moving in permanently."

"Mum came to stay on two separate respite occasions and had a wonderful time. She was very welcomed by all the staff and left each time feeling relaxed and happy."

"A really lovely care home. The staff were ever so kind to my dad who came in for some respite. The food was really good and so was his room. He really enjoyed the company of the other gents this time and made some friends. The staff were really kind to him and it felt home from home."
