Viewed several care homes and none came anywhere close to the assistance we received at Bryansburn Care Home. They were so helpful and informative at a very stressful time. My mum has been a resident for almost 2 years now and everyone has been on the ball. If there is any sign of infection or change
of mood we are informed immediately and doctors contacted as well. Excellent staff. The activities are great as all the residents can interact and mix. Well done everyone.

From day one my husband was very settled in Bryansburn care home. Since, he has been well cared for, been allowed to be in as and when needed and any medical attention has been delivered speedily. I have been kept up to date on any difficulties or medical attended by my husband. He thoroughly enjoys
his painting, the Christmas dinner get together and is always willing to join in with any activities organised. He gets on well with all the staff and residents. I have always found the management and staff to be very caring and helpful. I am happy to entrust the care of my darling husband to the Bryansburn care home.

My father has been a resident of Bryansburn Care Home for the past 18 months. During this time, he has been cared for with the utmost kindness and dignity. Each and every one of the staff are caring and considerate. The nursing staff anticipate any medical issues promptly and the daily care Dad receives
is excellent. As a family visiting Bryansburn Care Home, we are always greeted in a warm and friendly manner. My father celebrated his 90th birthday recently and with the help and support of staff, we were able to join with him for a very special day, which we appreciate so much.

Until her recent death, my mother had been in Bryansburn Care Home for 8 years. She was cared for with kindness and respect. The standard of food and cleanliness and her personal care was excellent. In her final few weeks, the staff did their utmost to keep her comfortable and showed us (the family)
much consideration and support. My heartfelt thanks for all their care.

Looking after my wife for 15 years it got too much for me. I was so glad to get a place in Bryansburn Care Home for her. I only live about 15 minutes from the home so I can visit every day, which makes my life a lot better.
Many thanks and God bless.

I am profoundly impressed by the standard and quality of care at Bryansburn Care Home, Bangor.
The staff are very well trained and very caring.
They treat my mum (and all of us as a family) extremely well and are very good about the medical side of things as well.
They anticipate problems and take
action to prevent future difficulties if at all possible.
I cannot speak highly enough of their care and dedication.

I cannot recommend this Nursing Home highly enough. Since my mother was admitted she has been treated with the utmost kindness and dignity. All of the staff are excellent. They are very considerate and caring. They take the time to talk with the residents and we are always kept informed of any developments
or changes in Mum's condition. The home itself is always warm and cosy.

My Mother has been resident in Bryansburn Care Home for over four years now.
During that time she has been very well looked after.
The home is clean and well run and the staff are friendly and take a personal interest in all the residents.
I can certainly recommend it for anyone.

My mother is profoundly deaf with Alzheimer's, yet the staff all manage to communicate effectively with her. They are all very pleasant and make time to communicate with her and my dad (also profoundly deaf and visits every day) on a personal and caring level. They are quick to contact us over any issues
and offer resolution or advice. If we have any issues they are very responsive. My only concerns relate to my mother's hygiene but this is due to her Alzheimer's and I understand that they are reluctant to force anything upon her.

The care in Bryansburn is top notch. Every time we visited my granny, she is happy and seems very content. Staff are very welcoming, understanding and helpful. The food is great. The hairdressing room is a great idea to keep the old people feel they are still part of the community.

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.
