Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident at Broadlands Park since December 2021. Since then, it has become increasingly clear that the staff here are truly remarkable: incredibly patient, kind and dedicated, always going above and beyond to ensure that Mum is safe, comfortable and valued. Genuine compassion and respect

are evident daily. There is a strong sense of community and a family like atmosphere that is incredibly comforting. Broadlands Park isn't just about delivering physical care; there is a true emotional connection which makes all the difference!
I have been consistently involved in decisions regarding her care plan and other routines. It is clear that everyone has taken the time to understand Mum's unique needs and personality which has made a positive impact on her life and our family's peace of mind.
I cannot express my gratitude for the wonderful care that Broadlands Park provides. I can honestly say that I sleep better at night knowing that Mum is in a truly special place. Thank you.

Overall Experience

The staff at Broadlands Park are just wonderful. They treat my mum with respect and the utmost kindness. In fact, I think they regard her as one of their own family.
Not only do the staff care for my mum, they take an interest in my family and are supportive of me at difficult times.
The home is always

clean and there are always plenty of staff around.
The management have taken on board any queries or concerns I have raised and have acted upon them.
The only criticism my mum has had is about the food. I think, at times, the food could have been a bit warmer or the choices slightly better. She is always grateful, however, for the extra portion of cream she is given on her puddings!

Overall Experience

I visit my father on average, every fortnight and overall my experience is very good. On arrival all staff are friendly, everything is clean, tidy and warm and I'm often offered a drink, which is nice. I am pleased my father is with you and I don't have any concerns or worries about his care.
The star

system below does not allow me to select 'don't know' for the likes of management, which I am unable to comment on.
One thing to add, is that my father has said that in his 10 months of being here, he has not been visited by a senior member of staff or management to enquire on his opinion on things.

Overall Experience

As a family we never really wanted our mum to go into care unfortunately we had to make that decision after Mum's health declined. As a family we cannot thank or rate Broadlands Park enough the way they have cared for Mum is outstanding, warm friendly welcoming the staff go above and beyond for Mum

and we couldn't have asked for more. Mum's health has now declined further and is now palliative again the staff have gone beyond to make Mum comfortable and relaxed, the way they have supported us as a family is outstanding and they deserve more than 5 stars.

Overall Experience

I have always found the staff at Broadlands Park to have a very professional with a kind approach to the care of my mother. I am always updated by phone of any doctor's visits or health issues that have arisen, speaking with friends I have found that not all care homes provide this information. My

mother has been at Broadlands Park for five years becoming a resident on leaving hospital after having a stroke. She was unable to walk but the staff worked with her doing the daily exercises given by the physiotherapist and after a few weeks mum was able to walk again with the aid of a frame. My mother has been very happy at Broadland Park and has been looked after very well.

Overall Experience

Both Mum and Dad have lived at Broadlands Park. Visiting is very open and I am warmly greeted by staff whenever I visit. I feel looked after too. I have seen kindness and calm professionalism across all staff teams, housekeeping, kitchen, maintenance, care and managers. I can have open discussions about

care including by phone. Collaborative working includes excellent access to medical staff. I have been helped as an attorney and by the finance team. Staff took time to listen to Dad and engage him in conversation about things he has done in his life and was proud of. His compassionate end of life plan took account of his wishes. A focus on what an individual can do is shown differently with Mum. Her care plan has included accompanied walks round and supports her ability to be safely independent e.g in dressing, making her meal choices and walking in the secure garden. Mum tells me they're well looked after. The food is good and there's always someone to talk to.

Overall Experience

My mum has been at the home since October 2024. She has mobility issues but does not suffer from dementia. She has a beautiful room which was very well presented and she is very comfortable there. The staff are extremely attentive and very caring. They really get to know the residents. This is important

to my mum as she is very keen to have people to talk to. I understand that the conservatory is being made into a second sitting room and I am sure this can be put to good use by the residents. Whenever I visit the home I am made to feel very welcome and again the staff are very friendly and have time to chat. I am kept very well informed about any issues concerning my mum.

Overall Experience

Absolutely excellent Care Home, my Aunt had to move from her previous Care Home because of closure. My Aunt is 93 years old and I know it was going to be a huge upheaval for her. I contacted Broadlands Park to ask if they had any room for my Aunt. I spoke to two members of staff and I must say they

put me at ease immediately. They visited my Aunt at her Care Home she was leaving to assess her and straight away the way they greeted her and spoke to her was 100%. She moved in 1 week later and the care and support she gets from everyone too many to mention just thank you. One member of staff in particular is always in touch with me as she has been poorly in the last few weeks but they keep me updated with all her care. Broadlands Park you have an amazing team, thank you so much.

Overall Experience

My mother and father have both been residents at Broadlands for the past 18 months and overall I am very happy indeed with the care and genuine affection they have received from the small and dedicated team there.
Many larger care homes use a proportion of agency staff but at Broadlands the staff

are nearly all permanent and this has been a great help in helping my mother and father forge relationships with them and help them settle in.

Overall Experience

My mum stayed at Broadland Park for 2 years as she had Alzheimer's, so my review is what a fabulous life she had being a resident at Broadlands Park.
The management and staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. The cleanliness's was 100% perfect especially with two members of staff in particular

keeping everyone in order including my mum!
Mum's clothes were always clean with the ladies working very hard in laundry, the team looking after all the residents amazing.
The office staff always kept me informed with anything regarding mum which made me always feel mum's in good hands and I didn't have to worry.
Mum passed away 2 months ago but I really miss the whole team as I class them as friends. I shall be popping in just to say hello. I do hope this helps families if you need to put your loved ones into a care home.

Overall Experience

Broadland Care Home is in an excellent location and has its own beautiful gardens with furniture to sit out and enjoy the fresh air.
My dad has been in there for 9 months now and is very well looked after. The staff are caring and give my dad that extra care. He tells me of the conversations he

has with the staff about where he grew up and football, they always end up having a laugh.
The room he has is very clean and a good size, he has furnished it with some of his furniture and lots of family pictures which makes it feel like home from home.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. My brother who lives far away, he phones the care home and the staff takes the phone to my dad so they can talk together.
I highly recommend Broadland Park Care Home 110%.

Overall Experience

Having a parent in a care home is emotionally demanding for families, more so than is often acknowledged. So, in my experience, I too feel cared for by the staff at at Broadlands Park. With all the changes which come with the approach to the end of one's life, it reassures me that they keep me updated

on Mum's emotional and physical condition and the details of what they are doing to care for her and time allowing, they always welcome phone calls to chat or answer questions if I have any concerns. Being involved in this process helps Mum and I stay close, gives me peace of mind and - best of all - a good night's sleep. This is worth more than gold.

Overall Experience

The staff give excellent care to my brother who has now been with them for over a year. The staff know how to deal with him and can tell if he may have an infection as he at times may not be able to express how he feels. He has formed a bond with staff and clients and seems to be happy in using the

activity board which has games etc. I cannot fault the home in any way and as I live in Scotland I am very happy to leave him in their care. On a scale of number out of 10 I award 10 out of 10 and a full 5-star rating. I was there for the Christmas party it was well enjoyed by all. Merry Christmas and New Year to all.

Overall Experience

The staff at Broadlands Park looked after my Mum for ten years until her recent death. The progression of her dementia was a difficult journey, but her care was excellent. They always met the considerable challenges of her illness in a caring and professional way. The staff are lovely caring people,

many have been working there for a long while which I think is an indication of a well-run home. The home is situated in an attractive village. When Mum was able to it was nice to take her out for little walks around the village or surrounding countryside. Her ground floor room in the home was modern, clean and cosy. We added some personal items to it to make her feel more at home. Obviously in the last year visiting has been restricted due to Covid, but they did remain Covid free - quite an achievement. To the very end, Mum was treated with respect and dignity and kept comfortable. We feel lucky to have had the care and support of such a lovely home throughout these years.

Thank you Liz for such lovely words, it has been a pleasure knowing your Mum and hopefully making her final destination in a long life a happy and settled one. I will make sure the staff read your lovely words.

Overall Experience

Broadlands Park is an excellent care home in a lovely setting. The professionalism and kindness that the team has shown to my mother and to our family has been constant over the many years that my mum has been a resident. They have supported us all every step of the way through a very difficult journey

with Alzheimer's disease, giving us confidence that Mum was in expert, capable hands. As she reached the end of her life they bent over backward to give us the time we needed with her - without compromising the Covid-free status of the home. Now that this chapter in our lives has come to an end, we move on with a feeling that the team was Mum's second family and we will always be grateful for their hard work and dedication.

Reply from Susan Hollyman, Owner at Broadlands Park

Dear Fran,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will ensure the staff see them.
It has been a pleasure knowing your family, your Mother will be greatly missed.
