Bromley Park have been amazing with my mother from the start. The staff have a genuine compassion and respect for her well being and comfort. They have an informed understanding of my mother's current state of health and needs and communicate to us any changes when they occur. Any time we visit, mum
looks smart and well cared for so we know her personal needs are being attended to very well, even down to the choice of clothes which have been chosen on her behalf, as she is no longer able to make those decisions. The meals are plentiful and just as my mum would have made for herself and the home is always clean, light. airy and warm.


This is nothing more than you would expect from a care home but it's the every day things that make Bromley Park a special home from home: the smiles from all the staff and their engagement with the residents, the knowledge of their personal likes and dislikes, the constant respect afforded the residents and family. We couldn't be more pleased.

Most impressive – staff; care standards; activities programme; welcoming, loving atmosphere. Going the extra mile, e.g. special chair so my mother can go downstairs and join in activities - delighted to hear she's had fun playing with a red balloon!


We hear of those who “dump” their elderly loved

ones. But I'm satisfied my mother's in safe hands, and benefits from professional levels of care and understanding that, as a layperson, I can't provide myself - would never have occurred to me to give her a red balloon to play with!


We also hear care is expensive - but worth every penny, I think. Your staff work round the clock - unsocial hours, weekends, holiday periods. Work that's physically demanding; and emotionally exhausting in that you must become very fond of people who you know are drawing towards the ends of their lives. I can see you all really appreciate what an intelligent, wonderful, extraordinary person my mother is, and that she is flourishing. Thank you to everyone involved!

My father has always been a difficult person to please and I can say that he is very happy at the home and has no complaints. The carers are all so kind and patient, there is always a friendly smile and greeting for him. He is very restricted as to activities, but he is encouraged to engage and to
exercise regularly. The food is cooked on the premises and a varied menu is offered. All of which is good quality and appetising. The home is clean and the rooms are large and airy.


It makes my life easier to know that Dad is being well looked after and is safe.

We came today to visit a very special lady who means so much to us and our family. The staff at this care home are so very polite, helpful and caring. It's so nice when unfortunately there are some homes that the care and attention are far from adequate. However, this is a home that cares for you from
start till the end and makes us feel that places like this restore our faith and trust in society. Thank you for everything you've all done for our dear friend who is a very special lady.

My father has been in the home for some years and I am pleased to say that over the past few years the home has become much improved by recruiting a better calibre of staff and management, which in turn has impacted on my father's wellbeing in a positive way.


The manager has done an outstanding

job of taking over management temporarily.
She is always attentive to any issues I have and deals with them timeously.
I am mostly very pleased with the way my dad is cared for at Bromley Park, and she is presently dealing with some issues of concern I have raised lately.


My father has a few carers who he likes to chat and banter with, which is really nice to know.


Over the past months, the home has undergone some refurbishment and it feels a lot more homely and practical.

The resident seems happy and well cared for.
There is always an activity taking place when I visit and residents are encouraged to join in. The home is clean and in good decorative order.
There is a large garden and the residents are encouraged to use it in the good weather.
It could do with some
tidying, but it isn't dangerous and is pleasant to be in.

Mum has Lewy bodies dementia, we cared for her at home for many years, in the end, it was becoming just too much.
I have found the staff at Bromley Park kind and caring, the lunches are always very nice with fresh vegetables and they have a range of activities which go on, some of which mum takes
part in.
They have a lovely garden and they make full use of it in the summer.
The management has always reacted to any concerns I have had (which happens because that is what life and dementia is like) promptly and professionally.
The manager has an open door policy and always makes time to talk.
They have excellent nurses who go the extra mile and work hard to support the residents and their needs.


There is no perfect residential home (if mum knew where she was, she would prefer to be in her own little annexe), but the staff at Bromley Park try their best to make it homely and cater to each resident's needs.
We feel very lucky to have found them.

My friend needed to stay in your care home for just two nights, in order to attend a family funeral some 200 miles from where she lives. Her care needs were complex, not helped by her almost total blindness. Being in a strange environment, surrounded by unfamiliar staff and residents, she was obviously
felt very nervous and in a very vulnerable position. Your staff coped admirably.


All the staff we met were friendly, helpful and kind. The decor was light and airy, and most importantly very clean. The service you provided to me friend was very much appreciated.

My husband was a resident for nearly 2 years. I loved the building and gardens and the space and freedom of the residents. I spent many hours there including frequent celebrations, entertainments and activities. There was always a lovely upbeat atmosphere. Residents were treated with the utmost consideration
and respect and carers were attentive, kind and very caring. Medical help was always available, diet adapted to tastes and needs. Staff were keen to help relatives, make them feel welcome, allay their concerns and support them in many ways. My husband was very well cared for. He always looked smart with freshly laundered clothes and his favourite things to hand. He responded when staff joked with him and was very relaxed and seemed happy within the limits imposed by his advanced dementia. Our family feels very lucky that my husband had a place in Bromley Park, it was the best possible outcome in the circumstances.

The staff at Bromley Park Nursing home are truly wonderful. During my Fathers time there they made sure there was always a happy lively atmosphere in the home. You could drop in at any time and there was always music playing and activities going on. Every attempt was made to interact with the residents,
encouraging them to dance and sing along. I could always tell which of the carers were my Dads favourites as his face would light up when they came in. He was often more interested in them than he was in me when I visited. Families were encouraged to come to events and get involved which was always good fun. As his illness got progressively worse it was a huge comfort to know that he was receiving the best possible care. The job they do is extremely difficult and I am so grateful to all the staff for all the care and love that they gave him.

How blown away I was to visit an old resident of mine today 3.2.2016, no one knew I was going a surprise for my lady. Pulling up looking around the car park 1st impressions count I thought "this looks very nice clean" etc. I went round the back to get in as advised on the main door, another visitor
let me in. I followed this lady, I could hear music playing and laughter all over the building. As I walked to the large lounge I saw my friend. She was laughing chatting away to another person, she saw me and straight away I could see in her eyes how contented she was, she had put on weight I am pleased to say, dressed nicely her nails painted which was strange to see as I have known this lady for 14 years never known her to have paint on her nails. She agreed how nice they looked. All the stories you hear or see on t.v / radio shocking most of them. This home was fabulous, I was invited to stay for lunch. Hats of to the chef, very nice, I am sure my hips wont agree though, we sat had lunch, pudding and a cup of tea. The staff have their hands full with some of the residents but so helpful speaking so nice to the residents. I met the manager again professional kind understanding, they couldn't do enough for you. I came away so happy and settled what a lovely experience the best care home I have have visited in years by far.
Its a shame the t.v and papers don't go and see these places, how lucky we are to have this care home for our local dementia patients. Keep up the good work people, what a lovely team you are.
p.s I have been in the care work from working in emi. to housing. care homes . nursing homes. carer as well. Now in the private sector. Believe me I have seen some bad run places and some very nice care homes, but this place was special, no horrid hidden smells, nothing false, the atmosphere was beautiful.

My mother in law was a resident for just over 18 months. In that time, she was treated with total dignity and respect, encouraged to join in activities, helped and cared for in every way possible. I cannot fault the care and love given to her.


She died after 3 weeks just before New Year, and during

that time, the support and care given to her and to us was impeccable.


Thank you.

Bromley park is a very comfortable care home, it is not clinical looking in anyway and has been adjusted to make all service users feel at home.all the staff are very friendly and approachable.
The management team are excellent, and always have time to discuss any concerns or issues that you may have.
The
activity staff are always lively and arrange fun and social activities throughout the week.
I feel maybe the day time staff could be more interactive at times with the residents, but overall they are always willing to assist if you need anything.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for Bromley Park Care Centre 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.762 for Bromley Park Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.762

  • 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 Bromley Park Care Centre is based on 12 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 12 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.
