Hi. My mum was resident at Braeburn for almost 5 years until she passed away last October. I live close to Braeburn so I was a frequent visitor. The care my mum got was fantastic! The carers really care and my mum considered them friends (as I did through my visits). My mum was very happy there.
I've
not given 5 stars for 'rooms' as mum's room was quite small but nicely decorated with a couple of windows. Also I've not given 5 stars for 'value' as I can't compare to other facilities. If you would like to discuss my/mum's experience, please don't hesitate to get in touch (I've got to put a rating for all items otherwise my review will not be accepted!)

My mother was a resident at Braeburn Home for the last four years of her life. On first viewing Braeburn, the family decided that this was the perfect place for our mother to spend her most vulnerable years. Braeburn is well appointed, clean and accessible whilst maintaining a traditional family home
atmosphere. Its relatively small size adds to its appeal in this respect. Braeburn also has a good schedule of activities for residents. Over the four years, I got to know the long-standing staff who likewise got to know my mother well and always treated her with dignity and respect. I cannot fault the care and kindness she received at Braeburn and the family look back on this as a happy time for our ailing mother.

When my ninety-five year old aunt could no longer manage to live on her own at home we were recommended to consider Braeburn Home. We were so pleased that my aunt was accepted and immediately took to her new home. Braeburn has the feel and atmosphere of a peaceful family home. The care and attention
of the entire team is second to none. With only eighteen residents and top quality management, nurses and carers, excellent attention to detail and a variety of activities to keep residents fulfilled and amused, Braeburn really is one big family and a home from home. My aunt spent her final twenty-one months in Braeburn and was extremely happy and fulfilled among her newfound caring friends and Braeburn family. My only hope that it is still thriving in the future when it is my turn to be cared for.

Braeburn Home is an excellent care home. I was really pleased to get my mother a place there because I know the home from having had my aunt (my mother's sister) there for nearly ten years. Everything about Braeburn is great, food, professional staff, friendliness, beautiful house with beautiful decor
and furniture and good activities for those able to join in. It's a lovely place to visit, and while my mother is extremely frail, she has even got better while in Braeburn, sleeping at night, calm during the day, now on fewer drugs, and looking more rested.

My sister has been resident at Braeburn Home for over three years and has received excellent care. I live at a distance so visits are infrequent, but I have always found the staff to be considerate and caring towards her. It is comforting to be assured of her well being there.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.713) out of 10 for Braeburn Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Braeburn Home is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.713 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Braeburn Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 17 registered maximum number of service users is 3.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.4 = 0.588

  • 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.
