My mother was a resident at Brandon Park for the last six years of her very long life. The home was able to grant her final wish, which was to die peacefully and comfortably in her own bed. Thank you so much for the sensitive and caring way you treated Mum during her last days. I was kept informed at
every stage and your care also extended to our family during that emotional time. All the staff including management nurses and caregivers showed genuine affection for Mother. Thank you so much.

My mum was looked after here for 4 weeks, she was treated with utmost kindness and care. All the staff were very professional and treated my mum with dignity at all times. The atmosphere here was homely and friendly. Mum's room had a beautiful view of the garden all the rooms were amazing. They provided
care for me and my sister during the last few days of Mum's life, which helped us immensely. Thank you everyone at Brandon Park Nursing Home.

My mother was a resident in Brandon Park for the last 4 years of her long life.
She had a very happy time and enjoyed everything. She especially enjoyed the company of the carers who loved to spend time laughing, joking and singing with her as well as looking after her every need. Even when her health
and mobility was failing, they managed to put a smile on her face and she felt very much at home until the end. As I don’t live nearby it was a great comfort to me to know she was being well looked after.

Everybody at Brandon Park was friendly and helpful. My mother was kept comfortable and well looked after in the difficult last few weeks of her life. Nurses and carers would always say hello and smile and the management staff were exceptionally good and always had time for me if I needed anything, or
just needed some comforting words with regard to my mother's condition. They went the extra mile, if there was anything that my mother needed for her care. Finally, they were extra supportive, when the time came for my mother's passing and I needed a bit of looking after too. They were wonderfully sensitive, caring and helpful with what is one of the hardest transitions we are faced with in our lives. Their experience and know-how and willingness to see through processes thoroughly, without drama, were exemplary and it would be hard for me to imagine a better environment for my mother in her last days. Thank you, all of you, at Brandon Park.

Thank you to the staff of this establishment that were outstanding and enabled her to see out the last few weeks in total comfort and care. The staff are by far the best I have ever encountered, they are a pure asset to your home. Could my mother-in-law have wished for anything else? No, they go above
and beyond what the person needs. I understand this task is trying, but they turn up and provide for those in their care. One thing further, thank you.

My Dad spent his final days at Brandon Park where he was always treated with great respect and dignity. All the staff are so caring and compassionate and nothing is too much trouble for them. Dad was always clean and shaved and even though he wasn’t fully aware of what was happening, the staff always
spoke to him to explain what they were doing. My family couldn’t have wished for a better place for him to be in his final days. Can’t say enough good about all the staff.

My father was only in Brandon Park for two months but the care he received was second to none. The staff were wonderful to him and although he didn't always know what was going on he was treated with respect at all times. The home is set in beautiful grounds and is always spotlessly clean. My dad was
happy and content and his family could not have wished for a nicer home for him to see out his final days.

My father has been in Brandon Park for just over one year, moving there directly from West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds. He has made wonderful progress in his time at Brandon Park and is much fitter and healthier than he was before entering hospital. He feels valued and cared for by the staff and
regards them as his friends. He enjoys the interactions with the wide variety of staff and residents. His quality of life now is an improvement upon what he experienced before. I am very happy that we chose Brandon Park to be my father's home.

My mother sadly moved here over a year ago, but only sadly, as she is not with us, instead she is currently living at a fabulous place, that being Brandon Park Nursing Home. She is treated well by all the staff, who are all friendly, attentive and very professional, going above and beyond. This was
especially appreciated when my dad visited and became unwell, due to his own condition. This is like a family looking after my parents, with the extra benefit of being friends too. It is often said that friends are family you choose for yourself, here at Brandon Park, they are friends who treat you like family, yet remaining professional respectful and courteous at all times. I never wanted to put my mother in a home, but this is a home from home and my mother's condition is beyond normal care for non-professionals. It is a pleasure to go to the wonderful setting that this place is and meet the delightful staff. I have nothing but praise for them and the service provided. Thank you, is not enough.

Mum has been at Brandon Park since June 2021. Prior to that Mum was living by herself, when it became apparent Mum was struggling to look after herself. Brandon Park was our first choice and since Mum has moved there, she’s gone from strength to strength, which has been fantastic to see. Brandon Park
is located in a beautiful woodland setting, the view from Mum's room overlooks the gardens onto the park. Mum was encouraged to bring items from home, which has made her room very homely and comfortable. The staff are amazing they treat Mum with care, love and dignity, providing a safe and secure environment. Mum has Parkinson's, so it was very important that her medical issues were addressed. The nurses provide an invaluable service, which allows us peace of mind knowing Mum is well cared for. If you were to ask Mum what she likes best about Brandon Park, she would tell you… the staff, my room and the food. The transformation of Mum has been remarkable and it’s all down to the wonderful staff at Brandon Park.

I have already submitted a review, but since then my mother has moved from the main home setting to the new Memory Centre at Brandon Park. She has dementia and was finding the main care home routine frustrating. She is relatively fit and healthy and needed to be able to do things that were 'normal'
for her at home, but were simply not possible in a general care home setting, such as helping with the washing up, making a hot drink etc. The Memory Centre allows my Mother the freedom to have a say in what she does, as the daily routine is more relaxed. If she wants a lie-in and a late breakfast, she can! The staff are extremely attentive, but at a distance so the residents feel they are more in control of what they do and when. My mother has gone from strength to strength at the Memory Centre, with the close attention of all the brilliant staff. She is happier than I could ever have expected her to be and I put this down to the excellent care the staff in the Memory Centre give her.

My mother moved to the Maple Memory Centre at Brandon Park, when it had just started taking family members in June 2021. We were very impressed with the philosophy of the Maple Memory Centre and felt that this would enable her to be as independent as she would like to be. The staff are brilliant and
work consistently hard to meet the needs of the family members and to encourage them to do as much for themselves as they can (or are happy to do), to maintain interests, skills and mobility, showing great patience and empathy. The Maple Memory Centre, homemakers, family members and their families, are like a real family unit. As well as some planned activities, staff observe the family members and will then find activities that that person enjoys doing. My Mother has cooked, gone for walks (with a stop at the cafe for a cuppa), done gardening, washed and dried dishes and much, much more. The staff are well trained and I enjoy my visits greatly to see Mum and everyone at the Maple Memory Centre.

My mother went into Brandon Park Nursing Home in December 2019 after being unable to go home after a stay in hospital as she could no longer be left alone. It was a very hard decision as she had been so independent prior to her hospital stay. The manager and her team assured us that she would be well
looked after which she was. She had a number of health issues and was not expected to live long. The care she had was excellent and she did not want to take part in the activities but with persuasion by the carers, she eventually did and really looked forward to taking part. March 2020 Covid decided to make an appearance and a very tough time for everyone. My mother struggled with lockdown as she was used to seeing us regularly. The staff were very good and made sure that she kept in touch with us and she would always say they were her extended family. Sadly my mother passed away in October but grateful we were with her at the end. Thank you to everybody who made her final months comfortable.

Back in November 2020, the time had come for my 87-year-old father to be admitted to a nursing home as he suffers from Dementia. My mother and myself like anyone else wanted to find dad the best possible place but with a Pandemic upon us, this we thought wasn’t going to be easy. Then we had a recommendation
for Brandon Park House. Four months on, my Father is as settled as he can be with his illness. He is being looked after by a fabulous team of caring and loving staff. I wouldn’t wish for my Father to be anywhere else. I would also recommend Brandon Park House to anyone.

My Dad was a resident at Brandon Park for roughly 18 months. In this time Dad was treated with dignity and respect and I cannot thank the staff enough for the wonderful care they gave him. He was happy there and we had peace of mind knowing he was safe and well looked after. Although Dad was quite content
to stay in his room most of the time staff still included him in activities and crafts. We sadly lost Dad last November but even through these terrible terrible times Dad was not alone which meant the world to all his family and friends, and I cannot rate Brandon highly enough, it is set in a beautiful country park which residents love to see. I’m so glad Dad was able to enjoy his last months in this lovely place, thank you to all staff for your care and compassion, you will always be a part of our family.

When my mother arrived at Brandon Park she had given up on life and just did not want to go on.
In the time that she has been there, the change and improvement have been huge.
She has regained a healthy weight and now enjoys her food.
She is relaxed and her blood pressure is at a normal reading.
She
is keeping herself occupied and busy doing reading, puzzle books and handicrafts that she has not bothered with for many years.
Until Covid - she had friends and family visiting her regularly as if she were at home. Even the family dog visited.
The care staff are very good and have really made a difference, and great improvement, for my Mother's quality of life.
It is not just a nursing home - it is her home.

My mother moved into Brandon Park in October 2019 due to very poor health. She was very well looked after. The care given to her was brilliant. Mum had a number of health problems and these were all taken care of. She eventually, during her time there became stronger and enjoyed joining in with the
many activities that were held in the care home. The care home staff kept me informed all the time as to how she was doing. The staff were cheerful and friendly. Mum sadly became very ill and the care she was given was kind and amazing The care staff were also very kind and supportive to me. I cannot thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.669)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.669) out of 10 for Brandon Park 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.669 for Brandon Park is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.669

  • 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 Brandon Park is based on 22 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 22 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.
