Burlington has proven to be an excellent choice for my parents
5 / 5 ★Burlington has proven to be an excellent choice for my parents - Dad is hospital level & Mum is rest home level care. The care, service & overall experience is better than we could've imagined. They are both so happy & very well cared for. Best choice - by far!
A five star village
5 / 5 ★our management listen and are very proactive
Four stars
4 / 5 ★The advertising indicates dogs are welcome, but, there are not facilities for them. A small area for a dog park would be ideal for small dogs.
The exercise facilities are too small. With classes limited to 16 people, a lot of people miss out. Only going to get worse as houses still being built and more people moving in all the time.
