Reviews for Henford House Care Home

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.

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."

"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."

"As an old friend and LPA for a resident who lived at Henford House for two years I have full admiration for the care and kindness given to him by the home. All the staff were friendly, caring, kind, helpful and when suitable, fun. They were always quick to respond to any incident and the nursing staff gave me complete confidence. There was always a welcome when I visited as well as tea, coffee and cakes. All in all a very run home which I would recommend"

"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."

"All the staff are lovely and many have worked at Barchester Henford for many years! Mum is very happy here and enjoys the social side of things. Always laughing and smiling. It's great we can bring the dogs in to visit."

"This is a fabulous home with wonderful nurses and care staff. With Mum here, I can resume a normal working and home life. The standard of food has diminished markedly since her arrival and I feel that more should be done as regards interactive involvement and entertainment rather than the merely passive. These observations aside, the venue stands out and above all its local competitors."

"My sister had tried three previous care homes but refused to stay, now at Henford care home. She has had the best care there in our opinion, all staff have been wonderful with her as she is not the easiest person to please. The nurses have sorted her medication as she was getting confused with it all and hope she continues to stay. Also must say a big thank you to the house manager who is always happy to help with any problems and make my sister very welcome."

"I came here after my hip operation for 2 weeks and I found it a lovely place. The carers cared kindly, the food was excellent and everybody was friendly and helpful. I met some lovely people who were living there permanently, the dementia patients upset them, I've worked with them. My room was good but very cold as the door to the garden didn't close. The organiser was also absolutely outstanding."

"The staff couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. All the staff introduced themselves to my Aunt June and took great care to make sure she had everything she needed. The home is sparklingly clean and the room she has is lovely, light and airy. We live a long way away and it is very comforting to know that she is in safe hands. She is looking forward to having a hair and Chiropody appointments."

"This care home was used for a period of respite care, the staff were very welcoming, friendly and approachable. My mother was treated with kindness, respect, and dignity and was well cared for throughout her stay. Any small issues identified were addressed. She tells me that the meals were delicious. Thank you to all for making this a positive experience for her."

"The staff here work extremely hard for us residents. The atmosphere between carers can be tense due to staff shortages. This isn't down to Covid or sickness. The majority of all the carers are extremely friendly, with nothing being too much trouble. I'm leaving here having had a very enjoyable time in respite, so much so, that 5/6 carers will be meeting me once I'm at home."

"My gran stayed at Henford for two weeks respite while my parents went on holiday. She still talks fondly about her own holiday there and playing Scrabble with a glass of wine! The staff were kind, the room was big, well decorated and airy, and she enjoyed the food."

"I was looking for a nursing home for my grandfather following his hospital admission. I found Henford House in the Warminster area, which was a bit further away than I wanted, but I was so overwhelmed with the dignity and passion the staff gave me and my grandfather, I knew I had found the right place, and somewhere he could call home. Admission went smoothly, and feel it's been the best decision we have made. Highly recommend the home."

"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."

"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."

"My husband has been in Henford House for two days, but we are both thrilled with the beautiful buildings, the room leaving to the garden space. The staff really cannot do enough. They are so professional and kind and are prepared to give us time to air views, assess needs etc. Couldn't be more impressed. There is a real "buzz" about the place. It's very person-centred. The lounge and dining rooms are inviting. I'm sure my husband will recover here, and we can get him to join in with staff and residents alike. Thank you."

"I visited a friend, accompanied by his wife, who had recently been transferred to this wonderful care home. The gardens and buildings are palatial, airy, spotlessly clean and beautifully laid out with amazing facilities and large rooms - in fact, the atmosphere was more like a very smart, comfortable hotel than a care home. All members of staff were friendly, welcoming, caring, attentive, informative and very professional. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Barchester Henford House Care Home to any potential resident or family seeking a vacancy for their loved one."

"The staff are kind and caring but I’ve had recent concerns that there are just not enough. I’ve brought this to the manager’s attention and she assures me there is, so perhaps it’s a management issue!! My husband is very happy with the staff and the respect he’s given. Recently he’s been enjoying the activities that are appropriate for him and the activities manager does her absolute best to include him wherever possible. His room is very gloomy and dark and does need freshening up."

"Good quality respite care. So helpful that there are no minimum stay requirements. This flexibility means my husband is happy to take a short break and I can make the most of his funding."

"A lovely afternoon in the garden for the pudding club in the sunshine. Cakes galore with some army soldiers providing interesting stories of their work. An excellent idea. Staff pulled out all the stops, providing delicious cakes. The gardens looked beautiful, full of colour."

"A friend of mine is staying in this care home and my wife and I visited him in June 2024. Together with his wife, we prepared a lunch of his favourite food which we ate in the home's private dining room. This is a lovely comfortable private space, large enough for probably 20 people but we had it just for the 4 of us. The home provided all the plates, cutlery etc... and set the table up. They also took it all away afterwards. Any resident can book this room to eat privately with friends/family: A great facility. The home itself is outstanding. Our friend tells us he gets good care there. And we've witnessed that. During our visits we have been struck by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness and freshness of the whole home and the overall facilities including the dining area, lounges and garden. This is clearly a well-managed, comfortable and caring home."

"I spent two weeks as a respite guest when my husband was admitted as a resident. We were both created with great kindness and respectfulness. I am confident that my husband is in safe hands. The staff were calm and efficient. I think they are slightly understaffed at weekends."

"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 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."
