About Burrows House

Burrows House is a residential care home in Bromley supporting older people, including those living with dementia. Younger adults whose needs are best met in a residential setting are welcome too, and we offer respite stays. The weeks after a move matter more than anything that follows, so that is where we put our attention. We want to know what somebody did for a living, who is important to them, what they like to eat, when they prefer to wake, what unsettles them and what puts it right again. None of that comes off an assessment form. It comes from sitting down with a person and their family and actually asking. Dementia care here runs on constants. Familiar faces, a predictable shape to the day, meals at the times the body expects, and music and food from the right part of a life. We do not hurry and we do not correct. We look for what somebody can still do and build around it rather than keeping a tally of what has been lost. Respite stays give a family carer a break that is genuinely a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome. Please come on an ordinary day.
