Really happy, caring staff. Always a warm welcome and they always have time to talk or care for my mum.
Activities are brilliant and the activity ladies encourage the residents to join in which is so important to keep residents' brains stimulated. A warm welcome from reception staff is also really
important.
Mum has settled in well which is down to the incredible staff. Thank you.

My mum came to Brunswick in November 2018 she remained there until she sadly died in January 2023, my sister and myself couldn’t of been more happy with the care, respect and dignity our mum was given by all who cared for our mummy. She was always happy and the team always gave 100% to her, they showed
compassion and were always attentive to her needs.
We were sad to not be going to Brunswick as we regularly did before our mum's passing and couldn’t thank them enough for how they cared for our mum and always made us feel so welcome, nothing was ever too much.
A huge thank you to Brunswick, we will always be grateful to you all.

Mum was discharged from hospital to Brunswick Court Care Home after a sad diagnosis. We weren’t sure if we’d done the right thing but I can honestly say from the moment I arrived with Mum a couple of weeks ago, we’ve been shown nothing but care and kindness from each and every member of staff, from
reception to carers to management. Nothing is too much trouble. Staff have made huge efforts to make Mum feel safe and that is something we are very grateful for. Lovely surroundings, gardens and communal areas. Wide variety of activities, open door visiting at any time which for us has been brilliant. We are always welcomed. Food is excellent with lots of variety and again, everything has been done to make sure Mum has all she needs. We are a visible, ‘hands on’ family and visit every day (sometimes twice a day!) and all I see are happy residents and caring staff. Cannot fault this nursing home.

When I first arrived by ambulance from hospital for respite care, I was very impressed with what I saw and felt that I would be comfortable here. The staff have been very helpful and attentive and create a very friendly atmosphere. There is a good variety of fresh healthy food and snacks are also provided
if desired. I have not yet had any reason to complain. If anyone has funding, I would be happy to recommend this home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Brunswick Court 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.716 for Brunswick Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 352 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 Brunswick Court Care Home is based on 29 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 29 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.
