My sister stayed at Braeburn Lodge for two weeks respite care, this being her first experience of such a stay. She settled in well as the staff were all very welcoming and understanding. She enjoyed the activities provided especially trips out in the minibus. Thank you to everyone who made her stay
so enjoyable and for looking after her so well.

We feel we have landed on our feet with Braeburn Lodge. It's been an emotional time having to put our relative into a care home. The care industry is like the wild west so to find Braeburn Lodge has been a happy accident. All the staff are so caring and the place is clean and welcoming. My step-mum
seems really happy and there's always a cup of tea for me when I arrive. It's the true meaning of a "care" "home". It's definitely both.

The team at Braeburn are just BRILLIANT they do a wonderful job of looking after each and every person in the home. It is like a home away from home. My great-grandfather has really settled in and is very happy there. The staff know what he loves and what he dislikes and they take care of all his
needs. We know he is in safe hands - given my great-grandfather is 103 years of age it is such a relief to know he is looked after. A big thanks to the team.

All staff are very friendly and already have gone above and beyond in welcoming Mum into their care. In particular, during a recent room swap, a member of staff rearranged the new room upon request (the same day) to provide more space and to also help reduce Mum's anxiety about change. It is still
early days but presently I feel very happy with my Mother's care and surroundings.

Since my mother became a resident, she has been surrounded by the best care and ultimately, love.
Nothing is too much trouble, ideas, plans and needs are often suggested before I ask.
Staff are so friendly to the guests, families and visitors. The manager, senior carer, chef,
maintenance, housekeepers, everyone is involved with the residents and treat them with dignity and respect but also laugh with them and have fun.
Residents are entertained on a daily basis with in-house activities, crafts, baking and a 'theme week' occurs nearly every week of the year! Trips out are a frequent occurrence, treats are encouraged.
This is now my mum's safe space, she is happy and content and wants for nothing.
A brilliant place, five stars from me!

My grandmother has been a resident at Braeburn Lodge for nearly four years now.
The care she receives is exemplary and second to none.
The home is small, so it really is like a family home, all the residents dine together round a large dining table which really adds to the family feel.

The home is small, so it really is like a family home, all the residents dine together round a large dining table which really adds to the family feel.
The residents
lead such an active lifestyle, going out to various clubs and activities multiple times a week and if they're not on a trip out, there is always something going on in the home to keep them busy.
The food is beautiful, homemade every day, including fresh cakes.
As relatives, we are really made to feel part of the family and there are several events each year where we all come together as families with staff to spend time together, having a BBQ or other event.
My grandmother is so happy and truly loved and exceptionally well cared for.
I wouldn't consider anywhere else to look after my loved one.

The care and support my mum has received since moving to Braeburn Lodge has been excellent. The staff and management have gone over and above in taking care of my mum and helping her to adjust to being in residential care. Nothing is too much and I am very happy that my mum is in such a lovely and well-run
care home.

I would definitely recommend Braeburn to anyone needing the facilities, care and comfort they offer.
P.S. Thank you for all you do for Grandma!

A superb care home. Only 12 rooms so plenty of individual attention. Although monthly fee may appear on the high side, note that cost of toiletries, newspapers, all outings on mini bus, coffee and cake at cafes, the occasional meal out and the wonderful meals and snacks are all included. Everyone has
a fuss made of them on their birthday and all events big and small are celebrated. Home from home, the best you could want. We are so happy to know mum is so well cared for.
