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.

Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Care Home

My mother appears to be incredibly happy at the care home and, in fact, seems to have become a lot brighter in recent weeks. She receives excellent care from the well-trained staff and is treated with complete respect at all times.

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.

My mum was in hospital and deteriorated badly over a six-week period. The staff came to a decision that she was not going to improve as she was not eating or drinking at all and, as such, her body was shutting down. As a family, we believed the hospital environment and care had been detrimental and
given the right place, she would improve. She was discharged on an "end of life" plan - came to Brackley Care Home, where five weeks later, she is eating, drinking and starting to thrive. Thank you to the customer relations manager for helping me sort this.

My father-in-law moved into Brackley Nursing Home in February 2024 where he continues to be extremely settled and very comfortable. When we were looking for a home we were advised to 'not be swayed by glitz and gloss' and I am delighted to confirm Brackley Care Home offers a fabulous setting, a low
turnover of staff and fabulous home management. Daddy is treated as an individual and his various and ever changing needs both health and personal are managed and addressed very very well. Brackley Care Home have done a great job in keeping a close check on his health and helping us to manage frequent NHS appointments and admissions. For myself and my husband, we feel all the staff really care for Daddy and we feel happy him being there. Not to mention, we love visiting, it is comfortable for us and we always feel welcome and have joined him for meals which is a lovely thing to be able to do. The activities they offer are brilliant and there are always fun activities happening to keep him interested and stimulated.

I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did for my Mother. They were all superb!
The manager is exceptional; she has such empathy and understanding for both the residents and the families.
All the staff we met were respectful, and kind and obviously cared so much for the residents.
I
looked at a few care homes before I decided on this one because it stood out head and shoulders above any of the others. I can highly recommend it!

Brackley Care Home did my mum a lot of good and I believe gave her three extra years of life. I used to enjoy visiting her, as we would have a good gossip and a laugh, something we had struggled to do before, when she lived by herself in her own home, with no help. She told me repeatedly that she felt
safe, cared for and loved in the care home. She knew she wasn't alone, with someone always on hand if she needed help or support.

Our family member was in Brackley Care Home for end-of-life care for nearly 2 weeks. We could not have wished for a nicer environment for him and he was given the best care and attention by all members of staff. You get the impression that they are all one big family. They are all so helpful and cheery
and everywhere is bright and beautifully decorated. We only wish all care homes were as nice.

My sister came to the home from the hospital requiring full nursing care and rehabilitation. With the care, support and encouragement from the wonderful team (nurses, carers, catering staff and management) she has made wonderful progress. It is fantastic to see her back on her feet, re-energised and
joining in the various activities.

My husband arrived at Brackley Care Home from hospital needing full nursing care. He has taken time to settle down but all the staff, from the customer relations manager, at the top, to the cleaning staff, have been lovely and very helpful in a stressful situation. We can fault the care my husband has
received and are very pleased he is with you. The home is also a very nice place to visit.

I came to visit my friend who moved in on the 15th of January 2024, unfortunately, her health took a turn for the worse upon arrival. Your staff in all departments have been absolutely wonderful. The male nurse caring for my friend went above and beyond in her care. I was made to feel welcome at all
times and found all but one member of staff so helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) 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 61 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 61 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 4.922 for Brackley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (664 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 714 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 61 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 61 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.
