Our friend has been at Broadmead Resthome since November 2024 and is gradually settling in. We have been so impressed with the care given by all members of staff, encouraging her to join in when she feels able but equally happy for her to spend time in her room bringing meals to her if necessary. It's
great to follow Broadmead on social media and see all the activities that the staff organise for the residents. The home is spotlessly clean, the food served is excellent and the birthday cake made for our friend was superb and much appreciated, especially as it was the Christmas party day so a lot going on for the staff.
The management is very good at keeping us informed regarding her medical care. Walking through the front door, one immediately senses a very happy and relaxed atmosphere.
I can highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a home for their loved one.

Mum has been at Broadmead Resthome for just over three months and has settled in extremely well. The staff are so kind, caring and always appear so jolly! Mum's participation in the numerous activities has increased significantly due to the encouragement of the fabulous staff. Whenever I visit mum,
always tells me that all the staff are so lovely and she is very happy. I am very impressed with all aspects of Broadmead. I always get a warm and friendly welcome whenever I visit and always informed on mum's welfare. I feel very reassured that Broadmead are caring for mum in a kind, compassionate manner and I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend it.

Dad was a resident for around two years and was looked after amazingly - when he passed away last December, not only did they treat him with the respect and dignity he deserved, they were so caring toward myself and my siblings, giving us as much time alone with Dad as we needed.
Dad was admitted to
the care home towards the end of lockdown, it was very rarely we were told we couldn't visit and they made sure that all their residents were kept safe.
The carers are all fantastic, very empathetic towards residents' needs and would let us know as soon as possible if there were any medical concerns or problems.
The food was good quality and there was always lots of activities and entertainment.

Reply from Amal Raja, Group General Manager at Broadmead Resthome

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you have been happy with the care we provided your father. Every resident is special to us at Broadmead and our care is centred around their individual needs. We work hard to ensure not only are our residents happy and safe at Broadmead, but always treated with care and respect. Thanks once again for leaving us a review, we will be sure to share this with our team. From all of at Broadmead.

My father was a resident at Broadmead Resthome for around three years. From the day I visited when searching for a care home, the place felt like a home, not a business. The staff throughout his time their were compassionate, caring and helpful. In three years, our family had some real ups and downs
with Covid and various issues with Dad's deteriorating health. At all times we were informed and updated of what was happening. The food was of good quality, lots of interactive entertainment (just check the social media page for a view) and a smile when you were arriving and leaving. With all the challenges the staff have to deal with in a care home, they have always done a great job in my opinion.

Broadmead Resthome is excellent in every aspect of cleanliness and care.
My mum has been with them for two years this month, l feel she is getting the best care from the staff who are kind, caring and compassionate and treat Mum as they are their family member.
There is always something going on at
Broadmead, whether it's singing and dancing dog visits or the local vicar.
As a family, we are always treated with a wave and a smile from the staff.
The staff encourage everyone to get involved with day-to-day activities.
They have the paper read to them, they get involved in the village and local celebrations. (They are always celebrating something, they like a good party).
I feel Mum is in the best place as Broadmead meets all Mum's care needs with compassion and kindness.

My mum is very well cared for at Broadmead Rest Home and I feel very reassured she is safeguarded in a lovely environment. All the managers and staff I have encountered and interacted with are very welcoming and helpful. I am kept informed and updated if there are any changes or situations that arise.
I am also able to call and speak to Mum easily. I feel safe in the knowledge that I can call or email the management team and they get back to me very quickly. Broadmead seems to me to be a modern, bright spacious accommodation with plenty of room to roam for the residents.

It is run like a cosy, loving family home. The care the residents receive here is extraordinary, treated with consideration, dignity, kindness and respect they feel valued and listened to.
Sometimes it’s the little things that matter to them like having their nails painted or on their birthday being
surprised by a dream. Recently an array of tractors visited one resident.
The food is outstanding a varied menu with a chef always happy to russell up something to tempt them individually.
The management and care team do genuinely care for the residents and can’t do enough to help them in any way. Records are kept meticulously on the computer. When visiting they are able to tell you exact details of your relative's day and what is eaten and drunk.
Residents are kept very busy with an incredible array of activities, often cleverly designed with their dementia in mind.
It is lovely just to relax in the knowledge that your relative is loved and so well cared for in such a homely environment.

Mainly happy with the overall care and support that this home gives. Sometimes communication can be rather challenging, me understanding what some of the carers are saying due to their accents. The carers do show understanding and care to the residents, nothing is too much trouble. They always remain

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Broadmead Resthome 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.813 for Broadmead Resthome is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 Broadmead Resthome is based on 21 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 21 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.

Stephanie Read

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2013

I have worked within the healthcare sector for over twenty years. My career started as a trainee healthcare assistant at a neuro-rehabilitation hospital in Wiltshire. I then progressed through the ranks working in varying-sized homes both nursing and residential with residents suffering from dementia.


I joined Broadmead Resthome in 2014 as a Healthcare Assistant on a part-time basis as I have two young children.


I then progressed to a Senior Carer and later to Head Of Care where I enjoyed taking on more responsibility and gaining knowledge.


I have successfully achieved my LMC Level 5 whilst at Broadmead Resthome and was promoted to Deputy Manager. As of March 2024, I have recently been appointed and promoted to Registered Manager.


Naturally, I'm proud of my achievements and experiences and enjoy using the knowledge I've gained to lead the team to help ensure we are always doing the best we can for our residents.
