I cannot recommend Brackenfield Hall Care Home highly enough. My mother-in-law has dementia and Alzheimer's, and as they specialize in these areas of care, they were recommended to us. She moved in last January, but not long after she settled in, Covid hit. Brackenfield have allowed weekly visiting.
When government guidelines allow, which is really appreciated. The fact they have been Covid-free during the global pandemic is also a great comfort. The home is managed really well, with separate living areas depending on the needs of the residents and they have regular activities, which have continued during the lockdown. They post regular photos and videos on Facebook. Seeing my mother-in-law and the other residents happy and smiling is lovely to see. We phone her daily, and the staff are so kind and considerate, nothing is too much trouble. A big thank you to the manager and the team!

The staff were very caring and helped my mum when she was poorly. Thanks to them she pulled through. They sat with her for long periods in between our visits. They went above and beyond the call of duty made sure she was well.

The letter from Brackenfield Hall came jus at the right time as our family were really missing mum who had just settled into Brackenfield Hall before lockdown. The garden/tea room visits are so well organised and I look forward to my weekly visit. It's so nice to see mum looking so well and obviously
has been well looked after. She usually shows me her nails that have been newly painted. The staff are lovely and usually update me on what mum has been doing during the week.

First impressions when we came to Brackenfield Hall was very clean, welcoming, homely and very well kept. All through my father's stay, my feelings have not changed. Everything about this place is wonderful. If we ever need help in the future, I would not hesitate to ask to use this place again and
would highly recommend to others.
Thanks to all the staff for all the loving care.

We chose Brackenfield Hall after visiting several care homes. Excellent care home, bright, clean, good upkeep, the rooms are bright, spacious, en-suite and fridge. Mum could personalise her room by taking her own memorabilia, TV etc.
Brackenfield Hall provided a very secure and caring environment for
mum. The staff were very kind, compassionate and excellent in caring for mum. They were very friendly and approachable. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful work they do.

My mum has gone from saying I'm not going into a care home to saying I like it here, I'm happy here I've made friends here and I don't want to go back to my house and she has started smiling again. The lovely caring staff at Brackenfield Hall have made my mum so at ease, safe and happy there and mum
says that the staff are so lovely and caring and nothing is too much trouble for them and she says she is well looked after and the food is lovely here. We find the staff very pleasant, approachable and friendly, always got time to talk to us about my mum. I can honestly say we have found a good care home here where mum is well cared for and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I chose Brackenfield Hall after an extensive search. The staff are excellent, kind, caring, friendly and approachable.
The care my mum receives is second to none, she feels safe there with friends around her who provide the total support that family would like to give but which is not achievable with
other commitments and limited accommodation. Well done Brackenfield Hall.

Mainly good care given, problems solved but some problems re-occurring as sometimes have to ask more than twice for things to be done. In my opinion, not enough staff sometimes.

Reply from Jerome Wright, Digital Marketing Apprentice at Brackenfield Hall

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on Brackenfield Hall Care Home. We regularly review staffing in all our homes, based on our resident’s dependency and, when required, we increase this accordingly to ensure they receive the appropriate level of care.

Excellent care home, very clean, excellent building upkeep and maintenance. Got 4 stars for food. Mum has got dementia but is very happy and cheerful. Mum is 94 years old. They have games and karaoke regularly and a singer/entertainer regularly. They are taken out for a meal or other suitable venue
regularly. They have coffee mornings.

My friend was lonely and confused and a danger in her own home. She was terrified of going into care but she is now relaxed fit and happy. She is well fed, she was living on chocolate and buns before she moved so she loves the 'proper food' she talks to everyone and they talk to her. She has her own
room with en suite but she spends most of her time in the communal lounge, she forgets most things but meal times but the 'girls' gently jolly her along. She is relaxed and contented for the first time in years. Thank you all.

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.
