My mother has been a resident of this home since June 2018 and I cannot fault anything about Little Bramingham Farm.
My mum has settled in very well and that is all down to the wonderful staff/management who all go "the extra mile" to ensure the residents are happy.
My family are exceptionally pleased
and happy with Little Bramington Farm.

Following a traumatic and frightening illness, I can't describe how good it feels to wake up to each day, knowing I am in a safe place, well cared for and with help always close to hand. This has been my experience this past year and as a fellow resident put it 'you can't get better than this', sentiments
with which I fully agree and for which I am personally deeply grateful.

I do not live in the locality and whenever I visit I feel welcomed and cared for myself! I am confident that the care given is kind and efficient. This is greatly reassuring knowing that my relative is safe and being well looked-after. I always look forward to visiting Little Bramingham Farm - it is
like visiting a country hotel rather than a care home. Congratulations to all concerned. When asking my relative about the food she says 'it's all right' ... I hope that Luton is proud of this wonderful care home.

My mother has been in the home two years in May - she is very happy there and tells us the staff are very caring and kind to her which is clear to see when visiting mum.


We think the facilities there are good and the surrounding area outside gives the appearance of being in the countryside.


Well

done Little Bramingham Farm.

Although Mum is not a permanent resident, and only comes for respite care, I know she gets the same lovely care as the permanent residents. She is a very anxious lady but said she felt safe and well looked after when she stayed. I am happy and confident to bring her back this summer for another stay.
Her room was bright and sunny with a nice en-suite. The home is comfortable, homely and clean and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. I went to view the home unannounced and the lovely Manager still took the time out to show me around and chat about things.

My mother has been living at Little Bramingham Farm for just over 2 years. Throughout this time her care has been second to none and whilst family visit frequently and are involved in all the major decisions relating to my mother's care we can go about our ordinary lives knowing that she is extremely
well looked after. Staff are always friendly, approachable and take time to explain any changes in my mother's condition. In the last few months especially her needs have increased greatly but the carers have taken this all in their stride, liaising with doctors and other healthcare professionals to ensure she receives the best treatment for her condition. They care for her every need professionally but with tenderness and genuine concern. At a particularly difficult time, one of the carers commented that they do their best to always see the individual person behind the needs. I would warmly recommend Little Bramingham Farm to anyone looking for a care home that truly cares.

The management and staff were very helpful and available at all times. The carers were extremely pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. The way they provided my medication was always prompt and correct. I stayed in respite for 2 weeks and they would be pleased to welcome me back. In all, I enjoyed
my stay there.

When I had to choose a care home for my father, this was the only one where I felt confident he would be well cared for. Two years later I know I made the right decision. My father is warm, well fed and loves his weekly yoga class.
All staff are kind, friendly and helpful.
There is no place like
your own home but Little Bramingham Farm is a family and everyone is made to feel at home and part of that family.

We have found the home to be very caring and supportive to the needs of my mother. They have looked after her from day one and she has settled well into the home. They are very open to relatives visiting and always take the time to talk to me about how my mother is doing.


The home has a really positive

feeling and you can see how the residents enjoy living there. they have set a high standard in residential care.

This is a 1st Class Care Home and I wish I had found this when first searching for a home for my mother who is 94 years of age. I had to move mum from another care home in Dunstable back in November 2015. The manager and the staff are excellent and will help you with anything if you have a problem
or issues. The home is very well kept, clean, bright and friendly. Always a warm welcome. Lots of activities, entertainment and outings are available for the residents which is good to see, and which I have also attended when possible.
The staff are all helpful and friendly.

I have looked at many homes and price to Little Bramingham Farm. My father was in a nursing home. The standard of care at Little Bramingham Farm is excellent. The home/staff are excellent, supportive, caring and care for the residents in a caring dignified way. They are certainly overworked as the residents
needs change often for the worse, due to age, but the staff cope. They work without breaks but they are always pleasant, patient and helpful. There's always a warm greeting whatever the day or time. The only concern I would have is food, during the day there is a good wholesome meal. Breakfast is cereal or toast never bacon, eggs or a bacon sandwich. Tea time is poor, soup, toast pate, scrambled egg, yoghurt, ice cream. The meals are often cold. There is no offer of supper and although you may be told the residents can ask, residents often do not like to. Tea trolley is at 7pm after that will not be until morning.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Little Bramingham Farm is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.781 for Little Bramingham Farm is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.781

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Bramingham Farm is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
