Brambledown staff looked after our mum with such care and dignity, November she was end of life and we were so pleased she was back at Bramble Down after a long period in the hospital, everyone was brilliant, especially two ladies who went above and beyond to make her final days more cheerful for all
of us. The manager also played a big part as did nurses, everyone was so kind.

A fabulous nursing home who gave my mum excellent care. Mum moved to Bramble Down following an illness in April 2023, we had visited several care homes but felt Bramble Down was the right choice for her, her welcome on the first day and continued care over the following months saw her go from strength
to strength. The excellent food, and care she received gave us the opportunity to share many more special moments with her. The care team provide exceptional care with dignity and respect and whilst Mum did not always join in on many of the activities, still felt included and enjoyed trips out and about including some in Denbury. Our whole family always received a warm welcome.

Exceptional care on every level. Beautiful, quiet location and grounds. Rooms and facilities are comfortable, adjusted for the individual. Residents have access to a range of activities, depending on their interests and abilities. Caring staff are kind, warm, patient and cheery and gentle and respectful
to residents. My mum has lived at Bramble Down Nursing Home since January - and has been cared for so well.
Management of Bramble Down, nursing staff, carers, cooks and cleaners are passionate about keeping this as a wonderful place to live. I feel so welcome as a visitor, supported and part of this 'big family'. If only all of us could find such care late in life. Thank you all.

After one week in respite care in a residential home resulting in repeated falls and leading to five weeks in the hospital, we finally managed to get Dad discharged into Bramble Down Nursing Home, but all very late for him to get the care he deserved. But the care he did get while he was there for his
last 4 days was wonderful. He had a warm and comfortable bed and wonderful doctors, nurses, and carers whom I cannot commend highly enough. His last days were peaceful and he died with great care and dignity. If only we could have got him out of hospital and into Bramble Down weeks earlier, it would have been so much easier for him and us. The nurses and carers who cared for Dad also showed the same care and kindness for us, and his family, which was moving and helped us tremendously. We are so appreciative of the staff there and thank them with all our hearts.

My father came into Bramble Down Nursing Home on the 30th October, he had a fabulous warm welcome from all the staff who made sure that he was comfortable and settled in ok.


Dad would spend time in the canteen area having his lunch, having a laugh with other residents and staff. He loved the food,

but mostly the puddings and cake every day and the odd G&T ice supplied by kitchen.


Dad's health sadly deteriorated rapidly and after only 1 month he passed away on the 25th November 2023.


I would like to thank you all so very much for looking after our dad. You gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being looked after and cared for with the utmost respect.


The Bramble Down staff also welcomed us in as if it were our home, offering comfort and reassurance, sandwiches and loads of cups of tea, the cheese toasties were amazing and well needed.


Thank you all so very much.

Truly amazing, every single member of staff are on another level when it comes to the love, care and respect that they show to the residents here, that also extends to the facilities and the six weeks that our dad spent here were happy weeks, enabling us to laugh and make memories with him. On the odd
occasion, when there were tears, they were all there to love and support us through, all the while remaining professional. You have nothing to fear if your loved one is in the care of these people.

Our father was a resident at Bramble Down from Oct to Nov 2023. He sadly passed away at the end of November. He received the utmost respect and high-quality care from all staff.
We can not thank you enough knowing Dad was being well looked after and your kindness and hospitality towards all his family

Bramble Down Nursing Home is comforting and homely. My aunt had a large, airy room with lovely views over the quiet countryside and village. The communal areas and gardens are very pleasant.
The carers and the nurses were friendly and willing, always smiling and patient. They built a good rapport
with my aunt which was really important as she had never experienced personal care before. Her health issues were carefully assessed and have been solved.
Thank you to the manager for taking my aunt in at short notice when I had other family issues to attend to. On the occasions I was able to visit, I felt included in the care and support ethos and was grateful. All in all, a very positive experience and outcome. I happily recommend Bramble Down Nursing Home.

My family and I were very pleased with the care our aunty was given. Some members of staff were outstanding and treated her with deep dignity and respect. We couldn't have asked for more. Covid reduced activities that she would have enjoyed. She had a complex problem with swallowing and so providing
the correct food was challenging, but the kitchen did extremely well.

Following a long, lifesaving time in hospital, my mum went to stay at Bramble Down Nursing Home for a four-month period of recuperation.
This was a very scary time for my brothers and I. We didn’t know how we would feel about letting go of our mum’s day to day care.
Our mum was given a beautiful
room with glorious views over the surrounding moorland. The food was fabulous! Freshly cooked on site by passionate chefs!
All the staff involved with my mum’s care were warm, friendly, compassionate and at times very funny; they became like family to us.
The manager was always popping in to see my mum, listening to her and making her laugh!
There is a relaxed atmosphere at Bramble Down, created by happy, very caring staff. We had absolutely no need to be afraid of this next step in our mum’s life.
Although our mum now lives in a home that specializes in dementia care, everyone at Bramble Down Nursing Home played a huge part in helping us all towards the very best future for our mum.

We have always been treated with respect and warmth and amazingly so, during lockdown. The manager and staff were very professional in all actions to us as visitors and our friend who we visited almost every week. The standard of care to our friend is exceptional. Bramble Down's standard of cleanliness
is excellent. No odour. We would recommend to anyone seeking a care home for a loved one. Our friend has been in Bramble Down for nearly three years and the above still holds.

The staff at Bramble Down look after my 95-year-old mother, very well. My mother has Alzheimer's, which means her behaviour can be very challenging at times, but the staff are always caring and patient with her. My mother appears to be very happy and content. Her room is nice, with a lovely view of
the gardens. My only complaint is that they seem to lose Mum's socks on a regular basis. Other than that, I have no complaints at all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Bramble Down Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.860 for Bramble Down Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 171 Ratings = 4.86

  • 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 Bramble Down Nursing Home is based on 15 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 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.
