About Burford House Care Home
Burford House Care Home is a nursing home in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, providing nursing and personal care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs go beyond what can reasonably be managed at home. We care for residents living with dementia, residents with physical disabilities and residents with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. Having qualified nurses in the team means a resident whose health becomes complex or changeable does not have to move on again. We work closely with doctors, district nurses and therapists when someone's condition alters, and clinical care is given with the same attention to privacy and dignity as every other part of the day. Dementia care shapes much of what we do. Knowing a person's history, the people and places that matter to them and the rhythms that suit them is what allows us to reassure someone who is anxious instead of correcting them. For residents with sensory loss we adapt how we communicate and how rooms and shared spaces are arranged, so that nobody is quietly left out of a conversation or an activity. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We are regulated by them and are building the care planning, records and oversight that a good inspection outcome requires. Anyone considering Burford House is welcome to visit and see the home on an ordinary day.
