My husband, who has Alzheimer's, and I cannot thank or recommend Borage House enough. He spent his first-ever respite care there last week, and the care, attention, food etc, he received were excellent. The staff were attentive, caring, obliging and very genuine - even the chef took time to sit and chat with him. He was treated continually with t… Read morehe utmost respect. The room was light, well fitted out, clean and airy; in fact, one of the staff went to the trouble of changing the curtains before he arrived so that they were more suitable for a man. The staff took time to listen to my concerns before he spent his first days there and took as much time as I needed to explain and reassure me. I felt able to contact them at any time. We both feel more able to look to the future, knowing Borage is there for us. Our most sincere thanks and appreciation to you all. May you continue your much-needed and excellent work.

My Mum arrived early July at Borrage House after a long battle with frailty and poor mobility, for her safety as a family we chose Borrage House. We were very reluctant to make the decision but so pleased we chose Borrage House after doing lots of research of care homes in the area. Mum has settled in well and is doing so much better. She is well c… Read moreared for, has a lovely room and loves the food! The staff are caring and helpful from the cleaners to the carers, the admin and the management. As a family we now have peace of mind and that is priceless for us. If Mum is happy then so are we. I absolutely recommend anyone to consider Borrage House and their wonderful team if they find themselves in the position of looking for a care facility that really does focus on care of their family members.

Mum was in Borrage House for nearly ten years. She was happy and settled there, mainly due to the dedication of the staff and the consideration of Mum's needs. The activities she enjoyed most were the weekly quiz and the visits from the animals and birds.

Our mother recently joined Borrage House, having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She has been taken under the wing of the staff who have been very kind and welcoming.

It was a difficult decision to put her into a care home but we couldn't have chosen a better place for her. A real home from home where she is safe and very well looked after.

Mum has been looked after by Borrage for over 8 years and we could not have found a happier and more comfortable home to suit Mum’s needs both medical and for day-to-day care. The staff throughout that period have been diligent, friendly and cheerful even when Mum could sometimes be quite awkward. Their ongoing communication especially with the m… Read moreanager has been so helpful at often difficult times. I would happily recommend Ripon Anchor Home.

Our step-mum was a resident of Borrage House for five years, sadly she had been diagnosed with dementia, just annoying to her at first, but as things progressed she needed more and more help to maintain a lifestyle of some dignity and comfort. All of this was provided by an excellent team of carers. She was a determined and outspoken lady who had b… Read moreeen an R.A.F. officer, but at all times she was shown utmost respect and understanding. No more praise can be given for her care. Finally when it came time to say goodbye, once again the carers rose to the occasion and provided a calm and peaceful setting in her own room. Again words cannot say our thanks.
