Julie has been in Brackley nursing home for over 2 years. She seems very happy and contented and joins in lots of activities. She has her hair done regularly, and our daughter lives nearby and sees Julie regularly with our grandchildren. All in all, we made a very good choice picking this care home
for Julie.
The staff are all wonderful + helpfull.

I arranged a weeks respite for my husband i was anxious about leaving him as it was the first time he's been out of my care The staff and residents made both him and myself feel very welcome. His room was lovely with a view On to the courtyard gardens. I stayed for lunch the food was tasty and there
was plenty of it. he had a bit of a wobble when it came time to leave and the staff were very reassuring and I was happy to leave him in their care. I was updated on how he had settled in and on the couple of occasions when he got confused they called me and we had a chat. He seems to have enjoyed himself and made himself known to everyone. Overall it was a positive experience for both of us and I will certainly send him there for more respite weeks. I would fully recommend brackley care home there's plenty of daily activities and many community afternoons and the residents all seem settled. Visitors were welcomed and theres coffee and cakes always available. Thank you

My husband was a resident in the Brackley Nursing Home from December, 2025 until just before his death in hospital in April, 2026. He had vascular dementia with increasing mobility problems which eventually left him bedridden. He had had previous respite care in the home and enjoyed the relaxed surroundings
and the care he received. So becoming a full-time resident wasn't a problem for him. Over the months of deterioration until his death, my husband received loving care from all the staff, nurses and healthcare assistants. He wasn't able to take part in most of the variety of activities offered - but he was given the choice. He enjoyed the atmosphere and surroundings. He felt both valued and safe.
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeI wish to thank you for your very kind words as I know this will mean a lot to my team.

My mother has been a resident of Brackley care home for several months now and I have found the staff to be caring and supportive. My mother has had some challenging times and I have found the staff supportive and caring. The facilities are modern and well appointed. The GP support is excellent. The

Brackley Care Home provides a wonderful respite home for my sister from time to time. The care & support they provide enables her to rebuild her strength & confidence after medical incidents, in a friendly and inspiring environment. The dedicated team are always responsive to my sister's specific needs
and this allows us to relax, knowing she is being expertly cared for by her second family!
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeI would like to say thank you for taking the time to write this review.

My father entered Brackley Care Home for respite care, following our mother having contracted pneumonia and she wasn't able to cope with his daily care requirements.
My brother and I were at a loss, we knew that the day would come when we would need to find care for our parents, but two Thursdays before
Christmas took us by surprise.
Having spoken to several local homes I contacted Brackley and was overwhelmed by the initial response, my brother was impressed with the standard of the facilities and the warmth and care practices evident with all staff.
Dad absolutely loves being there, raves about the quality of the food, and is an active participant in many of the activities.
Whenever either my brother or I visit we remain hugely impressed by the staff and the absolute quality and cleanliness of the site, Dad could not be happier, and is delighted to see Mum when we take her in as she continues recovery from a series of health issues.
Thank you to ALL staff for your care and skill
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to complete this review. We are pleased to hear your Dad is settled with us and enjoying life here at Brackley Care Home. I will share your kind words with our team.

My wife has now been in Brackley Nursing Home for 18 months and right from the start she has received a high quality of care from all the nurses and carers.
She likes to be involved in the daily activities, especially the arts and crafts. The minibus outings are another favourite. When problems arise
they are sorted out quickly. Anniversaries and birthdays are remembered and the cakes are delicious. Eating is not high on her priorities, but the carers always make sure she is provided for. The whole house is very clean and tidy.
I now don't have to worry so much and a huge weight has been lifted.
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeI would like to thank you for taking the time to complete the review. I am happy to hear you are pleased with the care we provide for your dear wife. Your daily visits brighten up our day and you are just as much part of the Brackley Care Home family. I will share your words with our whole team.

We moved my elderly mum into Brackley Care Home recently and can say that all the staff at Brackley have been wonderful. Particularly, Julie who handled all the onboarding and smoothed out the process. The facilities are all modern, the staff courteous and helpful and the food is excellent. It's a nice
and peaceful environment even if it appears close to an industrial estate!
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to complete such a meaningful review. It is a real pleasure to look after your Mum, she is a true delight. We have a dedicated kitchen team who work tirelessly to ensure our residents are happy with the level of food provided, I will be sure to pass on your compliments.

My Father has been in Brackley Care Home since December 2025, we had a family crisis and the staff at the home really helped us to get him some for respite care initially. This has now become a permanent care home for his ongoing care. At home Dad was quite sedentary and had lost his zest for life.
The care home has been giving him stimulating exercises and classes and he is absolutely thriving on them and his sparkle is back in his eye.
The level of care he gets is incredibly high and we drop in on him unannounced and always find him clean, comfortable and he absolutely raves about how good the food is.
All the staff I meet are incredibly helpful and we are kept informed of any issues that need dealing with straightaway.
My father is a very happy man in the home and we feel he is in the right place for him.

My wife has been in the Brackley care home for approximately 20 months now. She has advanced dementia, and was very poorly when admitted due to unsatisfactory care at a previous home. The staff at Brackley have done wonders, and I can only say the level of care is superb.
When my wife was admitted
into Brackley I was told that both her and myself would become part of the the Brackley family, and they have been true to there words. They have given me so much time and support. Every member of staff that I have talked to has shown me kindness and empathy.
God bless all of them.

Mum was very happily resident in Brackley Care Home for just two months. She went in to trial respite care but amazingly, she had decided in days that this care home was where she wanted to live out her life.
I have to say the whole process of admission was very straightforward and rapid from the
first phone contact to her arrival five days later. What I thought might be a difficult transition for her morphed into the easiest decision of the last twelve months.
Your main asset is your brilliant and committed staff right from admin, Nursing and all support staff - I dread to make a list or name names because I'll miss someone out! Mum enjoyed the social side of the home and support of other residents. Sometimes phone access was tricky.
Mum was given end of life care at the home - as a retired GP, I can vouch for all the effort, attention and commitment from day and night staff. You kept the family going with kindness and perfectly timed offers of sandwiches. Thank you so very much.
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to leave a review. In the short time we got to know you all, it was so nice to have you as part of the Brackley Care Home family. My team really do care about what they do which allows them to provide such good care to our residents. Thank you for also mentioning the admin team, they work so hard to provide the support needed. We understand how difficult it can be moving into a care setting and its lovely to hear how supported you felt. Please do come back and join in any of our community events, or just to pop in for coffee and cake, it would be lovely to see you all.

My mother moved into Brackley Care Home in October 2023. To be honest, we initially looked at it due to it's proximity to family, but then discovered it was by far the best we could find. We anticipated mum being in the dementia care ward, but were delighted when they said she could be in the main nursing
care area. Having said that, we know that the dementia care is superb so we know that mum's future is in safe hands. She is so well cared for and we love that she is taken out on trips. The security of the place is excellent, with the need to sign and out. Mum loves the entertainment that is laid on, the different guests and visitors who attend to provide all sorts of stimulation. The facilities are excellent, the staff caring and friendly, and we are so happy that mum has such a fabulous place to live.
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeI would like to thank you for taking the time to complete the review. At Brackley Care Home we like to make our home as welcoming at possible and provide a wide arrange of activities to cater to all.

My mum has been at the Brackley Nursing Home for over a year now. I have always found the staff to be exceptional in so many ways. They always go that extra mile, making sure nobody feels left out in the multitude of activities that take place. I must especially mention Kat & Debbie who are the activities
staff. Mum was very poorly when she arrived but the care she has received from day one has been second to none and she has thrived since then. Highly recommended.

All staff very welcoming and despite being modern, it feels very homely compared to others I visited.
Food is excellent - and as I live so far away, I am grateful for the opportunity to eat with Mum at no cost when arranged in advance.
There does seem to be a staff shortage at many times (Mum generally
requires 2 carers for mobilisation and toileting) - but again, it seems an issue with this sector.
All staff approachable and the home has also arranged transportation to funeral and social events outside of Brackley.
Reply from Stephanie Eley, Manager at Brackley Nursing HomeThank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found the team welcoming and approachable, and that the home feels both modern and homely, that is exactly the environment we strive to create. We are especially pleased that you have been able to share meals with your mum and enjoy the quality of the food together. We know how important those moments are, particularly when you live some distance away, and we are glad the arrangements have helped make visits more special. We appreciate your understanding regarding staffing pressures within the sector. Please be assured that we continually review staffing levels to ensure residents' needs, including support requiring two carers, are met safely and with dignity. It's also lovely to hear that the transport arrangements to funerals and social events have been helpful in keeping your mum connected beyond the home. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
