I have found the staff here were excellent in the care and support of residents. They are friendly and go out of there way to help and support you and residents. The food is sublime and the staff offer you tea and drinks when ever I have visited normally every day. I cannot thank all staff enough for what they do, and I recommend anyone to stay if the need is required. Thank you so much to all staff. Thank you.
Very good. I am very happy my father is in good hands. I found the staff extremely kind and caring. I feel they have gone above and beyond to help my father who is a very difficult person to be dealing with, and I would strongly recommend this nursing home.

I visit regularly and I am always received warmly and respectfully - made to feel welcome. My sister seems will-cared for and always looks clean and healthy. She responds well to the carers and genuinely is fond of them. With prompting her memory of parts of our past is good and she is settled here. When she first came into Brenalwood, she was very agitated - this only happens occasionally nowadays.
Staff are lovely caring + kind. I feel very peaceful when I come there.

The care is of a high quality on a 24/7/365 basis. If at any time there has been a problem, the care home has always telephoned me with an update of the problem, care and well-being. Day and or night time it gives me peace of mind.

A very nice care home with patient staff that keep all the residents healthy and happy. I have seen a few care homes, and Brenalwood makes every effort to ensure good stimulation in addition to rest and relaxation.

I am the Care Home Manager at Brenalwood, bringing over 20 years of management experience in both Nursing and Residential homes. As a trained geriatric nurse, I have extensive experience supporting individuals with learning disabilities, dementia, and chronic illnesses. My deep understanding of CQC regulations and legislation ensures compliance and the highest standards of care. I am a highly professional, dynamic, and detail-oriented leader, known for my easy-going nature and strong ability to build and maintain positive relationships with colleagues and senior managers alike. My leadership extends across multiple sites, where I proactively manage daily operations and address challenges effectively. In 2015, I was honoured with the ‘Carer of the Year’ award by Richmond Council, who described me as “an exemplary home manager whose professionalism and management skills have benefited many residents over the years. He makes a personal commitment to improve the level of care offered wherever possible.”
