Brambling House Care Home

Overall Experience

Choosing a care home is a daunting task. Brambling House was recommended by friends, who had previously used Brambling for their parents, also having discussed placements with Social Care. My 'relative' resided at Brambling for over 2 years. The care received was unwavering from the very beginning.

Although the primary need being Dementia care, his personal care and physical health needs were addressed with significant improvement. He always looked clean & tidy and thoroughly enjoyed the home cooked food, puddings and snacks on offer. Brambling is a homely, comfortable environment with a stable, ever attentive staff group. Bedroom and communal areas were always clean with activities on offer or quiet spaces. Staff always open the door with a friendly welcome, answering questions or concerns in an appropriate, well-informed manner. As next of kin (non-family) I always felt kept informed and involved in care decisions. I am totally appreciative of the care and compassion shown.

Overall Experience

My mum was a resident at Brambling Lodge Care Home from October 2024 to January 2025. Mum was initially admitted for respite care following a couple of falls at home, but was subsequently given a full time placement. My mum, sadly, passed away on the 12th January 2025. I cannot fault the care she

received from the start right to the very end. Nothing was too much for the team!
I was always treated very well too, was always offered a cup of tea and they even provided sandwiches for my daughter when she was hungry. During my mum's last few days the care team were incredibly supportive and compassionate which was very much appreciated.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Brambling Lodge for anybody looking for a care facility for a loved one.

Reply from Christina Clark, Home Manager at Brambling Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much Janice for taking the time to do this review, it was an absolute pleasure you choose us to look after mum. i will pass on your kind comments to the team. thank you again.

Overall Experience

My dad had been living at Brambling Lodge for over 4 years. He had mixed dementia aswell as being completely immobile. He sadly passed away recently.
Over the years you get to briefly meet staff but over the few days of my dad's decline the staff were amazing, the care and compassion they showed to

my frail dad was amazing to see. My sister and I stayed over night and the night staff that evening were amazing and we really got to know a few of the carers better over the few days we had left, it is just sad it takes a relative to be end of life to really have the time to chat with staff and get to know what your loved ones likes and dislike are, but also comforting to know they think very highly of them and look after them as one of their own. They have all been amazing and Abode should be proud of all the team they have working for them because all the staff you meet greet you in a kind and friendly way. Thank you Brambling Lodge. xx

Overall Experience

My dear mum was a resident at Brambling House Care Home for six months, Mum had to go into residential care after a fall and being discharged from hospital could not go home
My mum, sadly, passed away on the 18th of November 2024, the care that my mum received, from the management to the care team,

was so kind, caring and treated Mum with the dignity and respect that a 96-year-old, very frail lady deserved.
As a family, we were also treated very well, always the door was opened with a friendly face and we were always offered refreshments, was there for us when Mum was very poorly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Brambling House for anybody looking for a care facility for a loved one.

I am so pleased to say my husband has settled very well in Brambling House Care Home. He is kept clean and tidy by the kind, caring staff. They are always welcoming to me and friends who call in regularly to visit.
I love the way the staff make such a fuss of the residents on their birthdays and Christmas,

wow!
The residents enjoy making decorations with the help of a kind volunteer who spends Tuesday afternoons showing the residents how to make them. It's so lovely to see the concentration on their faces.
I am pleased with the care my husband is receiving on this terrible journey of dementia he is, unfortunately, on.
The caring staff are angels!

Overall Experience

My brother had previously had respite care in the past year so, on arrival, he was greeted warmly by the staff. He appreciated the good food and looked forward to his meals. Staff were very busy but they had time to make contact with him in his room. In his flat, he had become very reluctant to leave

his bed and have help with personal hygiene. It was a great relief that staff got him back on his feet and allowed them to help with a shower and bath.
I really appreciate the support and relief that my brother's respite care has provided for me.

Overall Experience

My dear wife has been a resident for over seven years and there is not a day goes by that she doesn't have the loving care of all the staff. Like me, she is treated like one of their family. I visit every day and help where I can and it's more like a second home for me. The staff are not only caring

but you can feel the love and dedication they give to the residents and visitors alike, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The meals are varied and served to individual requirements. The rooms are what you make them, my wife's room is comfy and homely, decorated with lots of personal things, which you are encouraged to do. The rooms and social areas are kept immaculately clean and tidy. The residents are entertained with live music, also arts and craft. I never hesitate in recommending Brambling House Care Home and a relative of mine has used it twice recently for respite. I call all the staff... "angels in uniform".

Reply from Jenna Solly, home manager at Brambling House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to the team, our staff are dedicated to providing the best possible care for your loved one and we are very grateful that you wouldn't hesitate to recommend us to others and feel part of our family.

Words are not enough to express my thanks to the manager and her amazing team for the fantastic care my husband received in Brambling Lodge Care Home over the past couple of years until he, sadly, passed away on 19th July this year! My husband had dementia and Parkinson's but thanks to the staff's hard

work, care and kindness, his time there was enjoyable, happy and second to none. I shall miss him greatly but I shall also miss my lovely friends at Brambling Lodge who made me feel very welcome and always had a ready smile, thank you. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brambling Lodge to anyone who is looking for residential care that really means care!

Losing my mum to Dementia has been traumatic and heartbreaking but I find comfort and joy in knowing that she is happy, safe, and well at Brambling House. The Staff are not only professional but kind, caring, and sensitive to Mum's and my needs. Mum enjoys the company, activities, food, and surroundings.

I feel so lucky that in finding Brambling House I have been able to make Mum's time at this point in her life happy, comfortable, and secure.

Overall Experience

My father came to stay at Brambling Lodge in January 2020. The Care Home Manager came to meet Dad and I. As soon as she met Dad she showed empathy and kindness. She fully understood Dad's needs and understood myself and my family's concerns. Dad stayed with the manager and her colleagues till he sadly

passed in January of this year. My family and I could not have wanted better staff. They do not have a high turnover of staff which is fantastic for consistency and routine for my father. The staff were amazing with my father and met all his needs. He needed help bathing, all personal care, eating and getting dressed etc all of these were done to a high standard. My father's Dementia journey ended this year. He was on end-of-life care for 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I would have made it through that time if it wasn't for the manager and her staff. I wrote in my eulogy for Dad 'The manager and her staff showed love and kindness day after day. They were simply the best.'

Mum came to live in Brambling Lodge Oct 2023, when we arrived with Mum we was warmly welcomed and settled Mum into her lovely room. Mum soon became a part of one big happy family, we could not be any happier than seeing Mum smile all the time. All the staff, from the cleaner to the manager, had total

respect and care for Mum. On our visits to see Mum, she always looked lovely. Mum would have her hair and nails done and the chiropodist came in too. The activities held there are amazing, there is nothing they left out. On Mum's birthday, we had balloons and banners put up which made it very special, nothing was ever a problem. Mum's favourite song she always sang was 'You Are My Sunshine', which the staff would often join in with her. If anyone is looking to find a care home then this is the place. A hidden gem in Shepherdswell. At the end, the dementia had taken control, Mum's last few days were made very comfortable. We were with Mum right up to her last smile. Thank you to everyone.

Reply from Christina Clark, Home Manager at Brambling Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and praise, we are truly humbled and would like to thank you for choosing us to care for Mum. You are an amazing family and our memories will be forever with us. Thank you, Home Manager and Team.

Overall Experience

Sadly, Mum passed away a short time ago, aged 97 years.
Having been in Brambling Lodge Care Home for eight years and nine months with dementia, where she was so well looked after by wonderful, caring staff. We, as her family, cannot speak highly enough of the standard of cleanliness in the whole of

the home itself and her room and Mum, herself, always looking nice and fresh. She had her hair done and the chiropodist came too which she always enjoyed. Sadly, the last years she has been in her room more due to age, becoming more frail. But her care never changed up to the day she passed away peacefully with staff around her. We feel that Mum lasted as long as she did because of the care and love given to her all that time.
It was shown to us, her family, when my husband suddenly was taken ill and taken into hospital and passed away four months later. They were there for us too. An amazing home, so happy we found it, the best thing we ever did for Mum, she was so happy, bless her.

My wife and I have been visiting our friend since she was first admitted. We believe she was very fortunate to obtain residence here because of the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the wonderful care team. They take great pains to stimulate our friend's interests with painting and jigsaws. Her

appearance has improved, her skin and hair looking revitalised from the care and attention she receives. We can definitely recommend Brambling House Care Home and indeed have mentioned it to a couple of our friends.

Mum has been with Brambling House for at least two years now. I can’t fault the care and attention she has received. Despite her deterioration, the staff have completely supported her every step of the way, making each transition in her care as comfortable as they can. They’ve also made my visits to

see her easy and kept me informed of her health and capabilities. For me watching, the staff always managed to make my mum smile, which means the world. Having to watch a loved one suffer from dementia is heartbreaking, but has been made so much easier by the team at Brambling House.

Overall Experience

My father suffers with dementia and was in the later stages. He has lived with me and my wife for the past 3 years and we have placed him in respite for a week at a time, (two to three times a year) in Brambling Lodge Care Home. His care was exemplary and could not have asked for better respite, the

staff were brilliant with him and the management made this process stress-free. He always seemed to enjoy his holiday there, giving us peace of mind knowing he was getting the care I would want him to receive.
He is now beyond the need for respite so I would like to thank all the staff at Brambling Lodge for making my father's last few years happy, also supporting me and my wife keeping my father at home with us until the end. Thank you.

Brambling Lodge is a very lovely home. The staff are lovely and friendly. We had to find a home while in the covid-19 pandemic and I know we could not have found a better place for my sister. She was very happy there. The room we saw her in had a lovely outlook onto the garden. They provide various

activities and appropriate exercises, with willing smiles and lots of encouragement. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home and have indeed done so, to my friends. Unfortunately, my sister went in, in the November, as we were coming out of lockdown. But her illness took her from us in the March and the staff, again, could not have done any more for her than they did. We were able to be at her bedside till the end. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for her and for looking after us as well.
