Overall Experience

I have only been coming to Bryony Lodge Care Home for about 10 months, in that short time, there is a tremendous difference in my sister. I can relax in the knowledge that my sister is being well fed, looked after and had constant care.
I have been to the home today (Valentine's day) and was pleased

to see that entertainment was surprised. I enjoyed it myself as well as the residents.

My mother-in-law has recently moved into Bryony Lodge and now that she has settled and got used to being here, I'm pleased to say she is happy and I feel she is well cared for.
The staff have been helpful and caring.

Overall Experience

My mother was only a short time in Bryony Lodge.
At Christmas time she was to be discharged from a hospice and could no longer be cared for at home due to complex nursing needs.
I spoke to the manager and one of her nurses and she went on to make a comprehensive assessment and assured me her staff

could care for Mam.
It was so difficult for us all to accept that care at home was no longer an option but all the staff on the nursing unit made the process as easy as possible with their efforts.
After extensive disease progression, Mam died this morning. My daughter and her young children were visiting and the nurse was wonderful. She called me in then went on to take the children into her care while my daughter sat with her grandma in her last moments.
In Mam's last hours the nurse had given her appropriate medicines and, most importantly, spent time with an anxious and dying lady.
There is only one chance to get it right and I shall always be grateful for this care.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident here for a short period of time but the care she received was exceptional. The managers, nurses, carers, housekeepers, admin staff, treated her with great love and affection. As a family, we can't praise them enough and made her recent passing so much easier for us. She died

peacefully and with dignity.

I am happy with the staff and manager. 2 weeks into my stay I am enjoying my time here. I have enjoyed activities, cooking, pamper days. I like sitting in the garden. I used to own my own home but now I have a lot of friends around me.

Overall Experience

I was so anxious that my Father was going into residential care but was totally amazed at the excellent standard of care, staff compassionate, caring and professional, every need was catered for to the highest standard. They treated him like a family member. I couldn't ask for more. Would recommend

most highly.

Overall Experience

Bright surroundings with a good, positive atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and able to be personalised. Staff are exemplary from management, nursing and care assistants. All have a bright, positive can-do attitude and they seem to understand the needs and feelings of family and visitors as well as the

resident themselves. We chose Bryony Lodge for its modern outlook and our sense of how the staff would respond to and handle my brother's needs and we have not been disappointed.

Overall Experience

My visits to Bryony Lodge Nursing Home in recent months have always been a pleasurable experience. The staff are polite and helpful and appear happy in their working environment which promotes a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Obviously, this contributes to a positive experience for all involved - staff,

visitors, and especially residents who respond well and evidently have good relationships with a member of staff who in my experience always display a caring attitude. The manager is positive and interested in the home being run to a high standard and committed to providing the right sort of care to any who come to stay. I highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at Bryony Lodge Nursing Home since February and I have had no complaints at all. She has Dementia and is pretty much bedbound so her use of activities/facilities is somewhat limited. Having said that the Activities boards are full and there is always a buzz. The team ask me what

I think mam would like to do.

The staff make me feel welcome and always treat my mother with a great level of care and respect, my mam cannot communicate but seems very settled. There has been a recent change in ownership and with that comes a change in Management/staff. I have been asked to join a recruitment panel to help with the intake of new staff, this I think is an excellent idea and the inclusion of families a big plus. Her room is nice and is always spotless, the food is varied and of a good quality.

My score of satisfactory for Value for Money is not a reflection on the charges Bryony has in place which are very competitive, but more that as a self funder I find ALL care fees extortionate
