AMAZING doesn't really describe the care my sister in law is receiving at Bryansburn. If I could give them 10 stars I would. We moved her there from another home in January and I cannot praise them enough. The staff not only care about the residents but visitors as well. My sister in law is now walking
with aids and rather than vegitating in a lounge she takes part in activities and even knitting again. More importantly she is SMILING and HAPPY. We cannot thank them enough for giving us peace of mind. We live in Wales and travel over once a Month. THANK YOU

Throughout my nanny's time here, the staff were kind, attentive and thoughtful towards both her and our family. On special occasions, we were given tea and treats and a room was set aside and decorated for us. The staff were always welcoming and always went the extra mile, right up until her final days.
She was very content there and enjoyed all of the activities they had to offer. We will be endlessly grateful for the care and support given to us from all of the staff at Bryansburn Care Home.

My mother suffered a stroke as well as being diagnosed with dementia. Such was her conditions, it was impossible to care for her at home and maintain her dignity. The first care home my mother was placed in did not take into account of her bespoke needs so the transfer to Bryansburn Care Home has been
a breath of fresh air. They look after my mum's needs without question and treat her almost like family. This is witnessed by us, as a family, and evidenced by my mother bursting into a smile every time a member of staff enters her room. We couldn't wish for our mother to be cared for in a better place.

We have been using Bryansburn Care Home for about a year now. From the beginning, I liked the venue, it was welcoming, clean and friendly. I liked the introduction we received from the manager at the start, this welcome has continued to this day. My wife, in my experience, is well looked after by the
staff, I find them all very helpful in relation to both her and my needs. Everyone uses my wife's name when they see her and this helps her to relax when she comes in. She enjoys the food there and I feel safe leaving her there. No more space but I like Bryansburn Home, the staff and the experience there.

The place is bright and welcoming with a homely atmosphere. Any perceived concerns are dealt with promptly and efficiently.

My father has been in this home since July 2024. The home is willing to listen and respond to any concerns or problems. Staff are friendly and there is always someone around when you need them. The home is clean. Residents are well-fed. There is good communication from the home to all services and a
willingness to work with other professionals and adapt if necessary.

I wanted the best care for my husband and at Bryansburn that's what you get. My husband has settled in very well and that is all down to the brilliant care, compassion and hard work from all the staff and management, they are a credit to the place. Bryansburn has a lovely homely feel which also makes

My mother has only been living in Bryansburn Care Home for two months but already we are seeing signs of her settling in well! That is down to the excellent care that she has been receiving from the staff who are warm, respectful and attentive. The residents in the home are treated like family and in
the most dignified manner and in the most clean and comfortable environment leading to them feeling safe and secure. Something that is most important to someone living with dementia.

My mother has been attending the Bryansburn Care Home for day care for a few months now. She is happy and content and always has a smile on her face when I drop her off and again on collection. All the staff go above and beyond to ensure she receives the best possible care. The staff are attentive and
care for Mum in an excellent, professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend the Bryansburn and when the time comes for Mum to attend as a full-time resident, the Bryansburn will be out home of choice.

As a family, we have found Bryansburn Care Home to be an amazing place. I will always remember the warm, friendly welcome we got when we arrived to put Mum into their care. They treat each resident as an individual and cater for each person's specific needs in a caring, thoughtful way. They organise
lovely activities to keep Mum stimulated and she particularly enjoys getting her hair and nails done - they even put her make-up on her if I am taking her out so that she looks her best - this was always important to her. I can relax knowing that Mum is so well cared for. Thank you to the team at Bryansburn.

It was Mum's first birthday without Dad and not in her own home.


The staff went out of their way to ensure her birthday was celebrated, involving us and changing planned timings so we could be part of it. A happy birthday sing song, cake and tea were provided.


Was just lovely to have Mum and

us considered in such a personal way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Bryansburn Care 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.854 for Bryansburn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.854

  • 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 Bryansburn Care Home is based on 18 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 18 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.
