I have found that Bradbury House is a very well-equipped, clean, safe and fully supportive nursing home and has looked after my very elderly father suffering from advanced dementia very well and has adapted to his changing needs.
There are staff available to talk to and to assist with any requests
made.
I would not hesitate to recommend Bradbury House to anyone needing such a facility.

The home offers a safe and comfortable environment for my sister. I have found the staff caring and attentive to her needs. They put significant effort into recognising an individual's needs whilst encouraging them to do what they can for themselves. The staff are very proactive in encouraging my sister
to participate in the regular afternoon activities which she mostly enjoys. They understand the challenging needs that dementia can present to a resident and provide care with compassion.
The home has always been clean and tidy when I have visited. I feel it offers a very good care model for residents with dementia. I think the home is well-organised and managed with committed members of staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

At first we were pleasantly surprised with the care my husband was receiving. However, there were a few occasions when I had to ask about personal care especially teeth cleaning was lacking. Unfortunately, my husband was taken into the hospital and was there for 5 weeks. During this time I had no contact
from the home enquiring how he was. Then unexpectedly on 30/3/24 my husband passed away. Still no contact expressing condolences. His funeral was held 18/4/24 and 2 night carers attended who I had never met the whole time he was there. (I’m grateful for their attendance but the only reason they knew when the funeral was is because my sister phoned them to inform them) but still no communication from the management, not even a card or phone call. They all knew my husband very well and apparently liked him very much but he had very complex health issues. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of compassion and communication while my husband was in the hospital and when he passed away.

Reply from Jane Holden, Admissions Manager at Bradbury House Nursing Home

Dear Marion, thank you for your recent review of Bradbury House. We have read all your comments and taken these on board. I am so sorry to hear that you did not receive the communication and condolences for the sad passing of your husband. This is something we always try to do for our families and I'm sorry on this occasion you have not felt supported at this difficult time. The care for our residents and families at all stages is important to us and in particular at the end of their life. I am sorry on this occasion you feel we haven't met your expectations, and therefore we have raised your concerns under our complaints policy and will be in touch in due course to discuss this further with you.

We moved my mum to this home last month as we had concerns with the previous care home.
We found this home and went to visit and immediately knew this home is where I wanted Mum to be.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, the home was modern, clean and just felt right.
There a many lovely
touches for the residents, each room has its own front door with a knocker on the outside and the communal rooms are great spaces to be.
The end-of-life care was also excellent, the staff were warm and caring to the resident and family.
My only regret is we didn’t find this home earlier as it is truly outstanding.

My mother moved into Bradbury House in August. It was a pretty traumatic move for her due to her dementia, but the staff understood this and made her feel welcome; they are very understanding. It is taking a bit of time for her to settle, but she is getting there with the help of the staff. The care
home is very nice, light and airy, with various sitting areas for the residents, outside space for them to enjoy, with a small woodland walk, two courtyards, and a very nice, friendly feel to it. Highly recommend this care home.

My mum has recently been unwell and now requires full-time nursing care. She has been at Bradbury House for almost 3 weeks and seems to have settled really well and wants to stay. We cannot fault the kindness and care of all the staff here, they are friendly and helpful, with lots of things provided
to do. Mum still likes to go out and Bradbury provides a safe environment for her to live the best life she can. Thank you to everyone for making her transition into a nursing home so nice and easy and everyone being so kind to us, I really hope she will be able to stay as I feel she is safe and well cared for.

You need to be certain that your relative has the very best of care. At Bradbury House every single member of staff, without exception, have nothing but the resident's best interests at heart, not just in their role of ‘caring’ but also in the way they engage with them. They are always happy, they will
always listen and they will always spend as much time as the resident wants to ensure that they have no causes to worry or be distressed. The facilities are excellent and the activities varied. The overall environment is one of positiveness and happiness. Any concerns or feelings of guilt were quickly extinguished by their attitude to the residents. The question I asked myself constantly is “Is it in my relatives best interest?” In the case of Bradbury House, undoubtedly it is.

Our mum had already experienced respite care at Bradbury House and already as a family, we viewed that as caring and supportive and Mum was always happy there. Consequently, we considered Bradbury House without any hesitation for respite again this August, with a view to settling our dear mum there
for long-term consideration. Once again, she settled promptly, was relaxed, less anxious, smiling and happy whenever any family members visited. The staff warmly introduce themselves, commenting on her progress without hesitation. We are delighted! Again!

This is a good nursing home. However, I feel that the area of palliative care needs improvement. My stepfather, I feel needed faster interventions when it came to pain relief and just general human contact in the last 2 weeks of his life. He was a character and could moan but I felt that it was not
until I intervened that finally regular pain relief was issued - even then not through a Driver and his final prescription never made it to him from the pharmacy. Two nurses saved the day by being on the ball and checking to give him regular injections of morphine and other forms of pain relief. He died in the morning. I am not sure if he was alone or if someone was sat with him. Nobody told me. I collected his belongings and nobody came to see me or offer condolences other than the receptionist on arrival. I made 3 trips in the lift alone to remove his things. Never saw or spoke to anyone. Just feel a more human approach is needed.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Bradbury House Nursing 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.748 for Bradbury House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 135 Ratings = 4.748

  • 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 Bradbury House Nursing Home is based on 11 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 11 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.
