My grandmother has been a resident at Bramley House since 2014 following the hard decision that she could no longer support herself at home. Bramley House is an exceptional homely home. It is clean and lovely, bright rooms with plenty of space. The staff at Bramley House are just wonderful. Very caring
and nothing is too much trouble, they listen to the needs of its residents. Could not thank them enough and all the support they give to both my grandmother and us as a family.

Moved my mother here from "sheltered" flat in July. She had started to have repeated panic attacks and spent most of her time in bed. Refused meals and was generally unhappy and lonely. Since moving to Bramley House she has had no panic attacks, eats everything (all freshly cooked) in the dinning room.
Participates in afternoon activities with the activities manager and watches tv in the evenings in the lounge with her friends. The home is just great and turned her life around, Encourages her to dress and get up, help with her clothes and shower. Mix and enjoy what time she has left. Cannot praise them enough all the staff are good.

My father was fortunate enough to be moved to Bramley House. I have found the staff to be always very helpful, considerate and caring, prepared to put themselves out even in small ways. The standard of care given to my father is excellent. I would highly recommend Bramley to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Bramley House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.567 for Bramley House is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.567

  • 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 Bramley House is based on 12 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 12 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.

Anna Dunford

Job Title: Registered Home Manager

Joined: 2025

I am passionate about providing the best possible care for our residents, supporting their families, and fostering a happy and dedicated team. I am thrilled to join Bramley House as the new Care Manager. With extensive experience in the healthcare sector, I bring a well-rounded skillset and deep knowledge to our team. My journey began in GP surgeries, followed by a role as a pharmacy advisor. From there, I progressed from senior carer to care home assistant practitioner to deputy manager. This comprehensive background has equipped me with an excellent understanding of all aspects of care, fulfilling my long-held goal of becoming a care manager—a role I'm truly passionate about.


Outside of work, I love to indulge in fine dining, travel abroad, and immerse myself in different cultures. Cinema outings are also a favourite pastime of mine. When I’m not exploring new places, I enjoy relaxing breaks in my caravan, always in the company of my family, loved ones, and my beloved red Labrador, Marley.


One of the most exhilarating experiences I've had was swimming through the deep caves and sacred cenotes of Mexico.


In my free time, I cherish cosy Friday winter nights with a Chinese takeaway, a true crime documentary, or a good film, surrounded by family. During the summer, my perfect Friday includes a meat and seafood BBQ, a hot tub, and playing cards and games with friends and family.


One of my favourite films is "The Shawshank Redemption".


I take my coffee white with one sweetener, though I do have a soft spot for a caramel latte.


I am excited to lead our team at Bramley House with enthusiasm and dedication, ensuring we continue to enhance the lives of our residents with person-centred and high-quality care. My goal is to ensure that their home and life are always their choice and that they feel supported, respected, and valued.
