My mother has lived at Brambles for several years and throughout this time she has been content and happy. She always tells me how well the staff look after her and the other residents, and also recommends Brambles to all her friends who call and visit her. My own experience of Brambles is extremely
good. The staff are extremely helpful and hardworking. This is a very well-run care home.

Mum has been at Brambles for just over a year; it was recommended by my sister’s friend.
It is a wonderful care home. Mum gets her needs met in every single way. Everyone gives 100% to looking after the residents; it truly is a lovely home, and so glad we found it. Thank you for looking after Mum.

In 2019 I found myself in the position of having to find a care home at very short notice for my mother with Alzheimer's. On entering The Brambles I intuitively knew it was the perfect place. I was impressed with the cleanliness, efficiency and welcoming attitude of the staff, and I have nothing but
gratitude and positive memories of my mother's life at the home.
More recently, therefore, with my father requiring full-time care, it was without any hesitation that we chose The Brambles. The staff have been wonderful in supporting his transition from home to care home and ensuring all his needs are met. The manager and her team consistently deliver a very high quality of care, with just the right balance of professionalism and compassion. The management of the Covid situation has been outstanding.
The home is well run, with excellent levels of cleanliness and has a beautiful garden.
I would highly recommend The Brambles to anyone who is considering the move to residential care.

Mum is suffering from dementia and when she entered the home she was also unwell. This was during the height of the pandemic, so she had a real problem settling in due to isolation etc. She has since settled in well and made friends there. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating,
the gardens are lovely and the home itself is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and the team keep me informed of what’s going on with mum. Highly recommended, if I need a home when I get (more) elderly, this is where I would like to be.....
Keep it up, to the manager and all the team, well done...

Mum has been here for 6 years, the staff are kind, caring and it is well led by the management, who are friendly and approachable and the communication is very good.
Mums care has been excellent, I feel she is very well looked after and I do not need to worry about her.
The home itself is well kept,
nicely decorated and clean and the food always looks good!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Brambles Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.879 for Brambles Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 Brambles Care Home is based on 18 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
