Thank you for taking your time to offer your feedback. We always value both positive and negative observations. We are sorry to hear that we haven’t met your expectations and it would be most helpful if you could meet with our Home Manager to discuss this.
We have recently reviewed our staffing levels and are working above the required staff to resident ratio. We have also undertaken a successful recruitment campaign and have had a number of new starters join us. We will look at the food offered and will undertake a survey of the food and dining experience and will make any improvements that we can. Our Home Manager has an open-door policy and encourages time with residents and families and we do hold regular meetings.
Once again thank you for your feedback.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.730) out of 10 for Bradbury Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.730 for Bradbury Grange is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.73
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 Bradbury Grange is based on 10 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 10 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.

Job Title: Administration Manager
Joined: 2019
Paula has been the Administration Manager at Bradbury Grange since 2019. She enjoys her role, in particular using her skills and experience to solve any issues as they occur. One of the best aspects of her job has been getting to know both the residents and staff.
Previously Paula was in the Women’s Royal Army Corps and also worked for the MOD and Kent Police in the Criminal Justice Unit.
She has two grown up children, enjoys coastal walks with her dog Oscar and socialising with friends.
Job Title: Housekeeper
Garry was a self-employed plasterer for 47 years before joining MHA to work as Housekeeper at Bradbury Grange where he leads the team of domestic and laundry assistants.
Working at Bradbury Grange has been the best possible change for Garry. He enjoys every aspect of his role and has real job satisfaction by being able to help or change any aspect of the residents’ day.

Job Title: Activities Co-ordinator
Joined: 2023
After completing her education in health and social care, Olivia joined Bradbury Grange as a care assistant before moving into her current role. As an activity coordinator, she enjoys taking residents out, having a laugh with them and making sure they are happy and comfortable.
“In the two years I have worked here, it has taught me a lot, especially on how to stay patient, calm and most importantly look after the needs of the residents. When I first started, I was immediately looked after and I want to credit all those who gave me help, advice and allowed me to shadow them. I love working at MHA Bradbury Grange, it's a great place to work and I like being the youngest at the home. One of my colleagues has been here for more than 40 years so the experience you get is second to none."
