I have been very impressed by the way Brampton Lodge is run. The carers are all angels. Very patient and helpful, always with a smile. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for short term or long term care.

Lovely, caring staff, my mother was bed-bound but they looked after her so well. She enjoyed the food, the company and the care. Nothing was too much trouble and we will have no problem recommending Brampton Lodge.

My dear mother had a fall in her private room at Brampton Lodge. Unfortunately, she broke her hip, the staff were really fabulous as we waited for the ambulance so attentive and kind. Mum has since had hip surgery in hospital and has now been welcomed back to Brampton -"back to her home and people who love her". Nothing is too much trouble, I would recommend their care to anyone.

Whenever I visit at any time I am always welcome. My mother says how happy she is being cared for at Brampton Lodge. The staff are very caring. The home gives the guests plenty of activities to keep their brains active.

I am happy here. The carers are wonderful. A beautiful garden and internal comfort. Thoroughly recommended.

We chose Brampton Lodge as it was a very comfortable and convivial home with a lovely garden, friendly staff and lots of activities for residents. It has not disappointed in any way. The staff are amazing - very kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious, with access to the gardens. There is lots to do, including a wonderful summer garden party for residents and their families. Food is great, and there is always a choice. My mother frequently refers to Brampton as a hotel!

The resident moved from a nursing home to Brampton Lodge as it was smaller and more user-friendly. Although the resident has only been there for a short time, we have been very pleased with the care and attention and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. As the home is smaller than before, it is much more like a home from home with the bonus of a beautifully kept garden.

I feel I have made a home here and I am very happy. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The care staff are kind and nothing is too much trouble for the manager.

Our mum has been in the home for nearly 1 year now and she is better and more alert than she has been for years. I cannot fault anything at the home; staff, food, activities and cleanliness are all fantastic. In particular the staff are so friendly and wonderful with Mum. They are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The carers are also excellent when it comes to duty of care and sort out medical issues.

I have been in this care home for four months. I came for respite care after having a couple of falls. I have been very happy and all the carers and staff have looked after me very well. They have given me lots of care and would do anything for me. I will come again if I need to be looked after again.

Since realising this was to be my permanent home, I am now very settled here and happy. The staff are kind and caring and always ready to listen. The management are prepared to resolve any issues.

I come and visit my nan every week. The staff are very caring and helpful. My nan really enjoys staying at Brampton. A home away from home.

When moving my dad down to Folkestone, we researched the care homes locally and visited many. Brampton Lodge ticked all the boxes and offered a lovely room with en-suite facilities. Reviews were great and the CQC rating was good. Dad is very happy in the home and enjoys the care and attention from the staff whom treat him as one of the family and often enjoy a joke with him. The staff are lovely and very caring, making me welcome also, often with a chat and an offer of a cup of tea. The food is excellent and there is a great choice. It's great to see dad happy and content, and so well looked after. Dad's been in Brampton Lodge for three years now and it's a great relief for me knowing that he is happy and well cared for in the home. We definitely made the right choice.

Moving a loved one from a residential home to another is hard enough but worse during a lockdown and twice as hard for all involved. Providing a virtual tour enabled our parent to decide independently where to move to. Since the difficult day, we parked the wheelchair and suitcases outside the Brampton door and waved our loved one off, the staff team have shown kindness and compassion. They played a vital role in settling someone into unfamiliar surroundings, whilst liaising with concerned relatives. Ten months since the move, throughout unprecedented times the staff and management have remained professional, sensitive and available. By following strict protocols, Brampton had no covid positive residents until late in 2020. Those unwell were shown warmth at the darkest of times, those scared and confused offered kindness and patience and relatives given reassurance. We are so grateful to have found Brampton, our parent is happy so we know it’s a good place to be.

It’s not like a care home it’s more like a hotel. No nasty smells and quirky innovative touches. Managers are welcoming and seemed committed to getting visitors back into the home which is so important for my grandmother. Covid measures in place felt reassuring but didn’t ruin my visit. Staff on hand and nothing was too much. The Garden was impressive too.

After viewing many care homes in the local area when looking for my friend, after entering Brampton Lodge, I just knew that I had found the right place. The welcoming and friendly staff from the very start, put my mind at ease that both a high standard and a professional service would be provided. Although my friend was only a resident at Brampton Lodge for eight months before we sadly lost her, it became her home and I know that she felt both comfortable and safe in their care. 2020 has been a very difficult year for many many people, and I would like to say a big thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond to keep everyone safe.
