Care Homes Owned by Brunelcare in Bristol

home and not in a home. There is a very evident effort to have daily activities that engage the residents and the activities organiser is so enthusiastic and clearly puts a lot of time and effort into what happens.
The set up of staff is also far better than we have experienced previously, with a dedicated unit leader who knows their residents really well; it is very person centred care. On his unit there are 12 residents so having a dedicated manager who's office is right in the middle of it is brilliant as they are in the thick of it and not tucked away in an office somewhere else in the building where you cannot see them. The continuity of care is so much better.

and the system stinks. There should be more help or tax breaks for people who have saved all their lives. The home is very convenient for me and although mum is asleep a lot in the days, she goes on some fab trips organised by the team who are amazing. Also the food and kitchen staff are great. I am happy with it now as didn't feel it was being managed in past year very well. Would recommend.

also be nice for Mum to have at least a weekly bath.
Food is always good, sometimes a little repetitive. For a small charge relatives can also eat, a daily menu of soup , choice of two main courses and dessert is always confirmed in advance and the kitchen staff can be flexible if necessary and able to offer an alternative to the daily menu.
Activities are varied including occasional trips out and monthly entertainers which Mum enjoys. Relatives can join in too. Sadly in the last few years both the tea room and quiet room have been repurposed.
Care is good but staff levels seem low which, in my opinion, feels staff no longer have time to just sit with residents for any length of time.

been there for 3 weeks but looks better than she has for ages. She's clean, food is excellent (we have even been offered a meal if we ate there at the time. The staff are lovely, friendly and very helpful.
Would recommend it to anybody looking a home for a loved one. X

were not passed on to my brother until after the arrears had built up over 12 months. He never received notice of increase.

mind that my husband is receiving the best possible care.

not wish for a better place for mum.

and friends of the residents. If you have any queries the manager will always make time for you.

when I ask dad his views he says "brilliant" "adequate".
