The manager and staff at Brimington Care Home have been providing excellent care for my mum for the last two years. The home has a very welcoming and warm atmosphere with nothing being too much trouble for the staff. As a very grateful daughter, I would highly recommend this home. Thank you to everyone.

The care home is warm and welcoming. Staff have been supportive and understanding to mum and her family during the period of transition from home to care home.
The home is always clean and warm and has a really cheerful atmosphere. Meals are cooked onsite with a varied menu. There is always something
to entertain, singing, bingo, and an activity organiser. A hairdresser visits weekly.
Moving mum into a care home has been difficult for the family but we don't feel we could have found a more suitable environment.
Can't thank the staff enough.

Although my mum has only been in this care home for a few days, I felt compelled to write a review, as from the first time my sister and I popped our heads into the care home, unannounced, to now, I have absolutely nothing but praise for the home, the manager, and all her staff. They make this home
into a very caring home, where nothing is too much trouble and they bend over backwards to make sure Mum is happy. I feel very relieved to have been fortunate enough for Mum to come here, now her dementia has got more challenging and I feel like we have welcomed a whole new family into our lives, when they welcomed Mum into their home. It is clean, comfortable, genuinely caring, great food according to Mum and loads of activities and lots of staff. Keep up the good work. You are ace.

The manager is supportive and empathetic. She identified an ideal room for mum, it was decorated to suit her and we were able to personalise it. The cost of £1000 a week is expensive, although it could accommodate two people (self-funded). All the staff seem to work together well and they are very friendly
and approachable. They listen and respond to any queries I may have. Staff interactions with mum seem genuine and very caring. She is happy to see them and is comfortable receiving personal care. Mum choses to stay in her room and the activities coordinator spends time with her.

When Mum's Alzheimer's/Dementia which became rapidly worse, I found that carers weren't enough to keep her safe. I visited a couple of homes but couldn't envisage Mum in any of them as she's still relatively young (77 years) until I got to see the manager at Brimington Care Home. I was in awe of the
place, it seemed so lively, felt full of love and I could see straight away that the staff really cared. Both the manager and deputy manager came to Sheffield to assess Mum in her home and Mum agreed to give the home a go. A week later she was in and from the first hour there, I could see she felt at home. The staff are all wonderful, there is a real family atmosphere to the place and when I visit, everyone makes me feel at home too. Mum never asks to go back to her home, she is unable to express much in words but I can tell she is happy. Since May 2021 Mum now has company and friends and I no longer have the stress about Mum's welfare.

When my Mum’s dementia deteriorated to the stage where she was no longer safe at home we had to look for somewhere where we felt comfortable to place her. From the first visit, the lady who showed us around made me feel that this was the right place, and we never looked back. Any concerns and these
were very few, were dealt with straight away and we always felt that mum was safe and cared for. My mum lived in Brimington Care Centre for just over 4 years and sadly passed away on Christmas Day. I never once regretted choosing this home. Mum was looked after with love, dignity and respect, and all her needs met to the best of their ability. The staff team are friendly, professional, caring and well-led and it was always a pleasure to visit. On the day mum died we were so well looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Brimington Care Centre is not just a care home, it is a family through and through and I would highly recommend it, especially for people with dementia.

We would like to congratulate Brimington Care Home and all the amazing staff for the professional and caring manner in which they have dealt with covid-19. The test results were an example of this! I know my mum is safe and in excellent care because she's still singing. The staff know exactly how to

My Mum went into this care home in February 2020, initially for three weeks respite. I had been my Mum's main carer for the past 6 years and found it very difficult to place Mum in full-time care. I work in a specialist palliative care unit and my standards are very high. As soon as I entered this home
I felt the love. I knew instantly this was the place for Mum to spend the rest of her time left. This home excels. The care, love, respect, and dignity for Mum is 100%. During the lockdown, they have all gone above and beyond to care for my Mum and keep her safe, even admin staff.

from the first time we walked through the door with my Father, we have been overwhelmed by the care and friendliness shown by every single staff member at Brimington Care Home, not only for my Dad but also for my Mum as well. As a family, we love visiting Dad. There is space to socialise with a beautiful
garden at the back which will be lovely to sit out in on warmer days.

Mum came into Brimington Care Home from the hospital after being treated for fractured vertebrae in her back. She was struggling to move and walk the day she arrived. By the end of the three weeks respite, she was almost back to her normal self, walking alone and toileting independently. This is all
thanks to the kind, attentive staff at Brimington Care Home. It has a friendly, clean, bright atmosphere resembling a homely home rather than a care home. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and I want to thank them all for giving mum the confidence to be herself. Mum enjoyed her time here but is happy to be back home.

My dad was resident at Brimington for almost 3 years and I have always been happy with the home, the care and the staff. Staff are caring and committed to their roles, showing interest and concern for all the residents under their care.
Their professionalism and caring approach, was all the more apparent
when my dad recently passed away. I could not have wished for better support, both for my dad and myself, they advised me, supported me and held me together through some heart-aching times - I didn't feel supported by "staff" but by friends.
It saddened me that my dad had so little family to attend his funeral but on the day, seeing so many of the carers present, I realised they had become part of his family too and they had paid the greatest tribute possible to him by being there and caring. Thank you.

Reply from Jasmine Bracken, Marketing Administrator at Brimington Care Home

Thank you Margaret, for your kind comments about our Care team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Brimington Care Home. We understand how upsetting it must have been, and are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectation and treated your dad with dignity and the compassion he deserved during his time at our home. We hope that his time at Brimington did see some friendships flourish with both the Care team and residents. Thank you again Margaret and if there is anything more we can do please do not hesitate to reach out.

Cosy bedrooms. On first arrival at the home, the staff were extremely efficient and made things personal for our mum and took care in labelling clothes and welcoming us and mum. The staff always make us welcome and spend lots of time with the residents. Previously in 2014, we have had another family
member here and felt comfortable visiting so this was an obvious choice.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Brimington 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 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 4.876 for Brimington Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 Brimington Care Home 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, 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.
