Review from Graeme S (Husband of Resident) published on 22 June 2021

Overall Experience

My wife suffered a severe stroke back in November 2019 at the tender age of 46. After 4 months recovery in our local hospital it was decided to try and gain private rehab and a care package. Looking at the options Bramshott Grange was the ideal solution albeit some 100 miles away. The care, compassion,

professionalism and love shown to my wife and the family by all the staff from the cleaners, carers, therapists and right to the manager means there is always a special place in our hearts for them all. It was during the pandemic that my wife was there and it was made even harder when the care home had to shut to all visitors. Yet they went out of their way and we were able to continue our communication through FaceTime calls and videos. My wife was there for a lengthy period but thanks to the guys and girls at Bramshott she came home a far stronger person. I can’t say enough about the team and the care given and what they did for my family during what was a terrible time. Thank you.

Thank you for this lovely review. During the pandemic it has been extremely important to us that our families and residents continued to feel connected to each other, we tried to find as many options for communication as possible and I am so pleased to hear that this worked for you both.

Overall Experience

As a family we are so pleased we chose Bramshott Grange for our father's care and would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful care home.
Staff at all levels are friendly, approachable and genuinely very caring. It was a comfort during lockdown to know that Dad was being well looked after and cared

for by staff we knew we could trust.
The home is in a lovely quiet setting with beautiful gardens. Dad enjoyed having a room with views of the lovely garden, providing plenty of visual interest outside. His doors opened to the garden so that he could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.
An extensive and very imaginative range of activities are provided for residents covering varying hobbies, interests and abilities. Being able to watch major sporting events in Bramshott Grange cinema was of special interest to Dad, he also enjoyed the films shown. The library provides a perfect setting for tea, cake, reading and jigsaw puzzles.

Many thanks to all at Bramshott Grange.

Overall Experience

Initially, our mother's stay at Bramshott Grange was only ever intended to be temporary whilst she underwent rehabilitation with the excellent Hobbs team following a stroke, however, due to the pandemic, together with the implementation of home's well considered safety procedures and excellent care

our mother received, her stay was extended for several months.

The location and facilities at the home are exemplary. Our experience during this difficult and challenging period was made a lot easier due to the exceptional care, empathy and professionalism we received from the entire staff. This is the standard of care we should come to expect when selecting a care home. We as a family would have no hesitation in recommending Bramshott Grange to anyone who asks.

Our mother recently moved to a nursing home closer to family and friends and is settling in nicely.

Reply from Maggie Griffith, Family Liaison Manager at Bramshott Grange Care Home

Thank you for this lovely review! 2020/21 has proved a difficult time for all care homes, so it is very reassuring for us to learn that our efforts helped not only your mum feel safe, but the family had complete confidence and peace of mind during the last 18 months.

Bramshott Grange provided my brother in law with an exemplary level of care and kindness throughout his short stay and the unbelievable level of compassion shown was next to none albeit throughout this time we were in lockdown. As a family, we were made welcome at all times and nothing was ever too

much trouble. Thank you all. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others in a similar situation.

Reply from Maggie Griffith, Family Liaison Manager at Bramshott Grange Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It was an absolute privilege to care for your brother in law and support you all as a family. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

My brother spent the last 5 months of his life in the care of Bramshott Grange, he saw it as his home and was treated as one of their family. During this period he received outstanding rehabilitation treatment from the Hobbs team together with exceptional personal care from every member of Bramshott

Grange Care Team.
His well being and dignity was maintained throughout a very difficult time for the family. My thanks to everyone.

Overall Experience

My husband came to Bramshott initially for therapy, however sadly, this became end of life care. Throughout his time here, which started just after lockdown, my husband was treated with the utmost care and attention and with gentleness and dignity at all times. Hobbs Rehab Services provided therapy.
Every

single member of the team is fantastic, his room always spotless, he liked the food. Towards the end of his life, he was always clean, dressed and kept comfortable. We were kept informed on his health, the team looked after the family as well.
I am so grateful that he had come to Bramshott, he called it 'home'.
He was fond of his team, he had trust and respect for them all, which for a man that did not give his trust easy this is amazing, it speaks volumes about each and every person that works here and at Hobbs.
All handled our calls with dignity and empathy. The people here make Bramshott and Hobbs what it is, they are the core of this wonderful home. Above and beyond expected. Thank you, team.

Overall Experience

Bramshott Grange were very accommodating when it came to relocating our 95-year-old Dad in mid-March. All members of staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly. Sadly, Dad’s stay was so short as his health declined rapidly so wasn’t able to make use of or enjoy any of the extra-curricular activities

provided due to lockdown occurring just a few days after he moved in. However, the staff managed well under extremely trying circumstances for them. We appreciated their help in ensuring we were regularly updated as to Dad’s health and circumstances. The rooms and facilities were clean and tidy, and the garden is well laid out with a small greenhouse and raised veg/flower troughs. One small gripe Dad had was the fact that his meal order would sometimes be incorrect. When this did happen, it was always corrected immediately and without any hesitation. We never worked out where the error occurred. I would definitely recommend Bramshott: the staff are exceptional and the setting is calming.

Reply from Maggie Griffith, Family Liaison Manager at Bramshott Grange Care Home

Thank you for your kind review and also the feedback regarding meals. This observation is greatly appreciated, as we can ensure the necessary tweaks are made at meal times. Thank you for sharing both your father's and your experiences of Bramshott Grange.

Overall Experience

Bramshott Grange provided our late father with an exemplary level of care and kindness. The home itself is delightful, modern, clean and hygienic surrounded by lovely gardens. All the staff, management, nurses, carers, catering staff and cleaners are extraordinary people, committed to providing a quality

service to residents and their families. Dad moved in just before the COVID-19 lockdown and was looking forward to a comfortable residency for his latter years. Sadly his health failed sooner than expected (not COVID-19 related) but throughout his stay he was cared for with unbelievable compassion which he was truly amazed by. Considering the home found themselves having to deal with the extra burden of lockdown as well as the anxieties surrounding their own health due to the pandemic, I am eternally grateful to them for all they did for Dad. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bramshott Grange to anyone considering a residency for themselves or their loved ones.

Overall Experience

My father was with Bramshott Grange for both respite and palliative care. Due to his condition, he was unable to access activities but these appeared to be varied and plentiful. The staff were consistently good and went above and beyond 'a job' in many cases. As a family we were made to feel welcomed

and cared for - it didn't just end with the resident's needs. The environment is purposeful, homely and calming. The food was good and varied. Most of all it is the staff that stand out. Money well spent.

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident of Bramshott Grange for almost 18 months during which time he has received consistently good care. There always seem to be plenty of varied activities, the atmosphere is relaxed and there is a good level of facilities for residents and their visitors. I have visited unannounced

at all times of the day and evening (weekends and weekdays) and never see any significant changes in standards. The staff are friendly and I have received no feedback from my father suggesting that the good care standards I see differ when I am not present. Like many who will read this review, I looked at numerous care homes before choosing Bramshott Grange and after 18 months experience, I am sure that I made the right decision.

Reply from Maggie Griffith, Family Liaison Manager at Bramshott Grange Care Home

My Mother has been a resident at Bramshott Grange for over a year now. It was a difficult decision to make, but the staff at the home have supported my father and my family. They have ensured that my mother is well cared for; they have responded to any questions that we have had and have kept in constant

communication with me. A difficult decision was made as easy as possible.

Overall Experience

Due to advancing Dementia, my dad spent the last 6 months of his life at Bramshott Grange, he thought of the place as home almost from day one.
This was because, without exception, the staff made him and us, as a family, feel so welcome.
When he first arrived, someone said that they thought of it

as a 5-star hotel with care, that is a good description and up to a point.
Where it differs from a hotel is that the staff treated my dad as if he was a member of their own family and he thrived in the warm and homely environment they create.
Particularly in his last few days, he was treated with such dignity, respect and at such a difficult time for us, it was a real comfort to know how well he was being cared for. Everyone was also, extremely considerate to us as his family and did everything they could to make the situation as bearable as possible.
All the staff should be very proud of themselves for the personal care that they offer at Bramshott.

I stayed at Bramshott Grange care home for four weeks while builders were building me a wet room at home. I got a lovely warm welcome from the staff. I also included physio in my package. This was very professional and I feel I improved a lot in my self-confidence and strength. The activities were fun

and varied. Thank you all very much.

Thank you for your review. I am pleased there was much about your stay that you enjoyed and you would want to return to us if there were ever a future need. However, I was concerned to learn of your experience regarding food and in particular your favoured product not always being available. Please be assured that we are reviewing our ordering system for food items currently, to ensure that all resident preferences are always catered for.

My father, aged 92, came to Bramshott Grange for a shortish stay to receive Neurological Rehabilitation from the Hobbs Staff.
Bramshott Grange staff, facilities and setting are excellent.
The Hobbs Rehabilitation team were superb, treating my father with care, respect and tact. They brought him to

a good point where he was able to leave and return to a care home nearer to where we live. We cannot express how highly we regard them.
We would highly recommend a stay here.
