  • Breme Residential Care Home, Bromsgrove
Providing residential and dementia care, the home has launched its beautiful eight-bed Mulberry Suite offering respite care breaks, which can be pre-booked up to six months ahead. This unique service means that family carers can have some ‘me time’, whilst their loved one is being cared for in wonderful surroundings. The suite has beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite wet rooms, a communal lounge and dining area, kitchenette and a quiet study area.

And person-centred day care sessions are also provided on Tuesdays and Thursdays (9.30am to 4.30pm). These sessions include fabulous activities, a delicious lunch and afternoon tea and refreshments.

The gardens at Breme are a beautiful space for the residents to grow their own fruit and veg, which they pick for the chef to use in the kitchen, giving them such a sense of achievement.

There are visits from local nursery children and volunteers, a local vicar who holds religious services, animal visits, pamper sessions, weekly community coffee mornings, live music, baking, fitness classes and so much more! There is also a minibus, for regular day trips. The home also has fantastic links with Bromsgrove Library, keeping the residents regularly supplied with reading materials!

The beautiful gardens are perfect for summer picnics, parties and relaxing with family and friends, who are welcome to visit at any time. The home also has its own private Facebook group, so loved ones can stay connected and see what the residents are enjoying, even if they can’t be there that day.

Breme has beautiful bedrooms, with ensuite wet rooms, several of which have patio access to the gardens. There is also a salon, for weekly appointments with a mobile hairdresser.

There are lovely lounge areas and dining rooms, where residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked food and home-baked treats for afternoon tea. The residents also enjoy regular cheese and wine nights.

I have day visits weekly and have stay as a resident once for 10 days. My day visits are very good and I enjoy my stay.
But on staying as a resident for the 10 days 2024, I felt the provided activities were not available. Before staying I believed several activities would be available to me. I came
away dissapointed, but enjoy and continue with the day centre. I would only like to stay as a resident for a week if activities (some) are available for me to take part in.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Breme Residential Care Home

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're delighted to hear how much you enjoy your day visits, but we're sorry to learn that your recent stay did not meet your expectations regarding activities.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I've been taking my mother, who suffers with Alzheimer's dementia, to the day centre twice a week for the best part of a year regularly. It's been a game changer for us both in a positive way. It gets her socialised, occupied and above all, makes her feel part of a friendship group that alleviates her
anxiety, makes her feel safe, welcomed, useful and doesn't highlight her condition. She feels normal and not compromised which is extremely important to her overall mental health. She loves being there, her mood lifts consistently and gives her purpose for those two days. As her main carer, this positively impacts our relationship and alleviates my own stress, giving me more time for me, knowing she is happy and safe and well cared for. The staff are exemplary. Warm, inviting and constantly providing activities. I cannot recommend the day centre highly enough.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Breme Residential Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt review for Breme day care. We're so pleased to hear how much this has positively impacted both you and your mother. Knowing she feels safe, valued, and uplifted while forming friendships is wonderful to hear. We're also glad it provides you with some peace of mind. Your kind words about our staff mean so much, and we'll be sure to share them with the team.

My wife, of sixty-two years, is well looked after and that's the important consideration when I left her there. She seems happy, smallish room but compact, friendly staff. Hardworking but almost always a smile. When I take her out for a meal to a restaurant, she always has a smile on returning.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Breme Residential Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback for our team at Breme. It means so much to know that your wife is so happy and so well cared for.

Thank you for entrusting us with her care and for sharing your experience.

My mum went into Breme Residential Care Home yesterday. All the staff were so kind and helpful. A room was arranged so quickly, in less than an hour, so that we were able to take her in on the same day.
It was very traumatic for my dad and I but all the staff were so supportive. The reception staff
went above and beyond to help us.

I have attended Breme Residential Care Home since last year. I have stayed for respite and now I have come to live at Breme. I have stayed on Mulberry Suite which is beautiful and I now have a room on the ground floor. I feel very safe and everyone is very kind to me. The manager is very good and spends
time to chat to me and listens.

Breme Residential Care Home provides excellent care and accommodation. Since my sister has been a resident, she has been looked after by all the staff. They have been loving and caring on a daily basis. I have nothing but admiration for all of them, as I know this cannot be an easy job.
The knowledge

The reason for four stars.
If there is no one on reception at the weekend it is almost impossible to phone my mom. So much so I have given up trying to ring at weekends. Maybe more of the staff could be trained on how to transfer calls?

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Breme Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.731 for Breme Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.731

  • 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 Breme Residential Care Home is based on 19 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.
