My mother spent 15 days at Brackley Care Home as a respite stay, while I went on holiday.
She was very pleased with her stay, her first in a care home. She felt that she was listened to and cared for.
She said that all the staff had a big smile as they greeted her, and at no time was she made to feel
a nuisance.
She is quite willing to go again, should the need arise.
Her only complaint was that she would have liked more baths! A novelty for her these days, but she had to admit that they kept her very clean anyway.

Fantastic stay, feel like part of the family (the bigger picture, sort of).
Living here, I see everything though sometimes difficult to stop myself making suggestions to make things easier, forget I'm a resident.

My mother was not in the home for long but during this time, she was very well looked after, in every way. We were able to relax knowing she was being monitored very closely and her needs met. All members of the caring staff were always bright and cheerful no matter what their role. Mum's room was light
and spacious with a nice aspect. She was unable to use the extra facilities/activities but it was nice to see them going on. Overall, as mum couldn't remain in her own home, this was an ideal place for her to end her days in.

Our relative moved into Brackley Care Home a week ago, we, as a family, are so impressed with the care and compassion that has been shown to our relative and indeed, us too.
The staff are very efficient and compassionate in what they do. We would particularly like to thank management for their support
and also one of the care assistants, in particular, who, without a doubt, has been amazing and one of the trained nurses.
Thank you all so much.

From the moment we looked around Brackley Care Home we knew we had found the right place to look after Dad. Rainbow is so lovely, It has such a calm and peaceful atmosphere, with the odd impromptu sing song or dance led by the wonderful staff. So much joy and laughter we witnessed.
We can't thank you
all enough for the love and care shown to Dad but also to us.

My wife has been here since September 10th. At first, she was extremely anxious and was very unsure of what was happening.
Slowly but surely, she started to settled down and is now starting to get involved in the activities and getting to know other residents.
For me, seeing the house for the first
time gave me the confidence to let my wife come to stay here and I know she is being looked after in the best possible way.
Our son and daughter are happy that Mum is being looked after and staff are on hand to help.

Brackley Care Home has been a godsend for our family, they literally make us feel part of their family. My wife was in hospital for sixteen weeks prior to arriving at Brackley Care Home and although she is suffering from advanced dementia, they have provided the care and peace of mind we all hoped for.
We can't pick out a particular member of staff as they have all gone out their way to help my wife and support her family, it really is a lovely care home. The standards are really high around the home for both care and cleanliness.

Brackley Care Home is warm and friendly, wrapping its arms around you. The Brackley team make this such a comfortable place to be in and visit, treating everyone, not just the residents but family and friends too, with warmth care and respect. It is light, airy, clean and beautifully appointed. The
food is like homecooked and appetising with friends and family being able to join the resident for meals if they wish. I have experienced that the team go above and beyond to make residents' stays as enjoyable as possible. For example, it was their idea for my dad's biker friends to take their bikes to the home so Dad could see them all. Also, they arranged a trip to a local aerodrome cafe where a friend and I joined Dad and a carer for breakfast. I cannot praise the Brackley team enough for all they have done during Dad's stay. I visit knowing that I will be welcomed warmly and that Dad and I have such amazing support and care. It is truly a home from home in many ways.

I am very pleased with the progress my mum has made since arriving at Brackley Care Home. My mum was very thin, bedbound and anxious but has since then barely skipped a meal, is now walking with the help of a rollator and is now more engaging, this is I believe a direct result of the care and attention
she has received at the home which is second to none.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Brackley 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 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.909 for Brackley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (546 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 594 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Brackley Care Home is based on 51 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 51 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.
