My mother in law has lived at Brackley Care home for nearly a year. She settled extremely quickly which was down to the amazing staff and other residents who made her so welcome. The facilities are superb. My mother in law loves all the activities and the weekly outings. The family are happy with
the knowledge that she is being cared for by such wonderful staff.

Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Care Home

Whilst visiting my wife who is a resident on the rainbow suite I was invited to join in the seated exercise session which was been run by the customer relationship manager I enjoyed it and I still had enough energy left to do some work on my allotment afterwards. I was impressed by the encouragement
the customer relationship manager gave to the less able participants

My Mum has been in Brackley Care Home for 9 months. She has dementia. Moving her to a care home was a big but essential decision for us to make and I can't praise the staff enough for how caring, welcoming, thoughtful and fun they've been with my Mum, literally from the minute we arrived. She has settled
so well and is so happy there, constantly telling me how lovely it is and how friendly all the staff are. It's an absolute pleasure visiting her in such a wonderfully happy place.

I have visited my father-in-law on a number of occasions since he became a resident in August 2024. We have always found the staff supportive and polite, more importantly they always take time to discuss things when visiting. I am very happy with the professional standards of the staff at the home,
the warm welcoming environment and the fact that my father-in-law is safe and well cared for.

My husband had to move in to Brackley Care Home at quite short notice due to increasing difficulties with his condition. It was not an easy decision to make but as soon as the family met the staff and witnessed the care and attention he was given we knew we had made the right choice. As his wife I have
felt as supported as well as he has been. There is a huge amount of empathy coming from all the staff, whatever their position in the home. They are also always polite, positive and happy which creates a lovely, warm, homely atmosphere. I would have no hesitation recommending this home to anyone.

My mother in law was treated with the dignity and respect she deserves from the moment she arrived. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful and can't do enough for her or us as guests. We eat with her sometimes which she enjoys and the food is superb. The new chef even made a special cake for her
late husband. The activities are varied and she is beginning to join in with some which is lovely to see. We love seeing what she's up to on the social media page!

My father went into hospital unexpectedly and sadly was no longer fit or safe to go home alone. The social care package in place for discharge was not sufficient or safe for his needs and I was on a race against time to get him discharged promptly into suitable residential care that would cater for
his rapidly changing dementia needs.
I found gold with Brackley Care Home.
From start to finish they have been efficient, informative and helpful and no task or conversation is undertaken without empathy and care.
I couldn't recommend them highly enough, the stress and worry that has been taken away is immeasurable.
The staff are delightful and hard working and the environment is faultless. I can't imagine him being anywhere else.

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.

Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. It was our pleasure to look after your mother and she is welcomed back at any time. Knowing our staff have had such a positive impact on her stay is lovely to hear and I will be sure to feed this back to the team.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) 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 59 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 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 4.919 for Brackley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (640 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 690 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 59 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 59 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.
