My nan has been a resident of Brakenfield Hall since October and I couldn't wish for a better place for her to live, it was such a hard decision to place my nan in residential care but the staff at Brakenfield made the process so much easier. The home itself is clean, well-maintained and smells lovely,
the staff are absolutely amazing and treat every resident like family. I truly couldn't wish for a better place. My nan is so happy and has improved so much while being here.

The home is beautiful. I attended the Christmas party on the 10th December and I really enjoyed it. The entertainment was smashing. The staff could not do enough and really got involved. My cousin enjoyed it a lot and her friends did as well. The home is very nice and decorated well and just has a home
from home feel. I enjoyed my afternoon in the home with my cousin who lives there.

My mum has been in Brackenfield Hall a little over a year now and couldn't be happier, she is eating well, joins in all the activities, likes going to watch the singers and has her hair done every week in the salon. The home is well decorated, very clean and all the staff are friendly, I'm glad Mum
is in a home where she is well looked after but most importantly, very happy.

Mum has been in the home since January 2024 and it did take a while for her and us to settle in but it is like a second home for us now and Mum sees this as her home. The staff are polite and any issues we have are dealt with. The staff are polite and caring and Mum seems very settled now.

I have visited my friend now in Brackenfield Hall for the past year and I have to say this home is amazing. The home is so welcoming and the care staff are above the rest. The home manager cannot do enough for everyone. The activities are brilliant, there was a singer on last week and she was fabulous.
My
friend just loves it.

Mum had been through a very difficult time recently and it became apparent that she was now in need of 24/7 care. We were very concerned for her well-being but when Mum was accepted as a resident at Brackenfield Hall, our relief was overwhelming. The staff have made Mum so welcome and she now feels
safe and comfortable and has improved so much under their care, she is like her old self again. Mum has her own room with en-suite facilities and everything she needs. We can't praise the staff at Brackenfield high enough - they have made life for Mum and her family so much easier.

Mum has been a resident at Brackenfield Hall for several weeks now and she is very happy there. The care provided by the staff is excellent and we, as a family, feel very relieved to know that she is both safe and comfortable. In particular, we would like to thank the staff for making her 95th birthday
celebration so special. She is already looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday there!

I looked around for somewhere I thought would suit my mother. I am glad that I chose Brackenfield as it really has everything I was looking for. She has a really nice large room which looks out over the entrance so mum can 'neb' at all the comings and goings whilst in her room. The staff are really
attentive and regularly make drinks and nibbles available. Today they organised a game of skittles in the lounge using empty plastic bottles.
My mother had a go and knocked them all down. She looked very pleased with herself. The staff keep the place meticulously clean on a regular basis obliterating any nasty smells that some homes have. Every week they have singers and other entertainment with occasional tea parties and fetes. My mother was very frail when she moved in almost six months ago but she has improved no end under their care. Well done each and every one of you.

Brackenfield Hall has been a blessing for my very elderly mother-in-law. Before being admitted she was deteriorating rapidly but since being a resident she has responded well and is as contented as I have seen her in a long time. I put this down to the staff who provide varying degrees of activities
and entertainment to keep her mind active. She has a large room with en suite toilet facilities with plenty of space for her clothes and belongings. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and do their utmost to solve any problems that may arise. The whole building is always spotlessly clean and does not have any unsavoury odours that you sometimes associate with care homes. There is a regular programme of events such as entertainers, coffee mornings, fayres, fetes and raffles plus indoor activities organised by the staff themselves. Today the weather allowed us to sit outside in the landscaped gardens and if this continues we plan to take her on an outing of her choosing.

Although I was apprehensive about placing my mother-in-law in a home, Brackenfield Hall is proving to be a great choice.
The staff show they really care for their residents and the weekly activities, along with the visit from the hairdresser have really helped her to settle in quickly.

From our very first visit to look around Brackenfield, we were impressed by both the kindness of the staff and the home in general.
My mum was made to feel most welcome and in such a short time has settled in nicely. The positive attitude of the staff, weekly activities, and facilities in general have
enabled my Mum to feel comfortable.

Mom needed to move at quite short notice. Brackenfield Hall helped make the move quick and it went without any issues. Staff and residents were supportive helping Mom to settle. Staff are friendly and regularly check on her if she is on her own. The food is of a high standard and residents are encouraged
to join in activities. Mom settled in after a couple of weeks and it is nice to see her with a smile on her face.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Brackenfield Hall 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.943 for Brackenfield Hall is calculated as follows: ( (483 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 Brackenfield Hall is based on 43 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 43 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.
