Broomhills has an idyllic rural location looking over the river estuary, which can be viewed from the conservatory. A peaceful setting for a nice cup of tea and a chat with families or friends. Broomhills boasts of 3 large gardens, one with a patio, so there is always a nice area to walk or sit and relax.

Broomhills is a delightful older style building full of character, homely and comfortable. Although rooms are furnished items can be brought in to ensure you are as relaxed as possible. There are always activities for you to join in if you wish, it is your choice.

There are country and river views from all aspects of the building.

Due to the rural setting there are lots of opportunities to see wildlife and for bird watchers.

Broomhills sits back from the main roads, so there is a peaceful and tranquil feel.

Review from Julie W (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing a care home for my loved one, is one of the hardest tasks I've undertaken but I needn't have worried. I can't believe the difference in mums wellbeing since joining Broomhills. The staff have bought out the very best in her and she enjoys the weekly trips out, craft activities and the coffee
and quiz mornings.
Nothing is too much trouble for the new manager and her remarkable team. They are very kind and caring but more importantly, they know their residents and meet their needs. The home is currently going through refurbishment and it looks amazing. The gardens and grounds are incredible and are a beautiful place to sit whilst visiting your loved ones.
A weekly visit from the hairdresser means mum feels pampered, a doctor's service is available should she need it and the monthly chiropody appointment keeps her feet in check. The access to a NHS dentist who also visits, has been a welcomed addition. Thank you for caring for mum so wonderfully, I really appreciate you all.

I find Broomhills care home very friendly and professional. Staff are caring, and approachable and treat each resident as an individual. The activities provided are excellent. My mother in law was taken out on the day before her birthday and had a fish + chip lunch, and even a swing on a disability

We transferred Mum from a different home and she has settled in very well. Staff have made her very welcome in a very caring environment.
She will never improve as she has dementia but she is very much enjoying herself and participating in all the activities.

Review from Kate A (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to Broomhills in June after a decision to remove her from the home she had been a resident in for a year and a half.
Broomhills came highly recommended from a friend of mine whose mother-in-law resides with you.
My mum seems to have settled in very well now after a small hiccup that set
her back a bit.
I cannot thank the staff enough for being so kind and attentive to her needs and making her feel so welcome.
I am of the understanding Mum is eating well and joins in the activities. There is always something going on to keep the residents occupied and a good deal of thought into what activities they do.
I am very impressed with The Tools Down idea as it gives each resident some one-on-one time with a carer to do something they like, it's a great idea.
Nothing is too much bother for the staff and they treat the residents with the kindness and care they individually deserve.
Keep up the good work.

The staff at Broomhills are always friendly and welcoming when we visit. They have taken the time to get to know my father-in-law and have gone out of their way to ensure they have his favourite snacks for him. He is well cared for and comfortable and has a clean room. We feel really lucky that he has
a room in this excellent home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law became a resident in early December and we can honestly say her quality of life has improved dramatically. She settled so quickly which was down to the care, understanding and commitment of all the staff and management to give their residents a happy, safe and warm environment fulfilling
the social interaction, trips out for lunches, walks, shopping and bingo and a constant entertainment facto with singers and dancers, by staff as well and even yoga classes, cake making, the list is endless. Going from a lonely, solitary existence causing depression and anxiety and progressing the dementia, she is now happy, content, settled and enjoys her new way of life. This leaves us, as a family, happy and relieved she has taken to her new life so well and in all down to the staff of the home.

When visiting Broomhills, the staff are always very welcoming, the general environment is clean and tidy and looks as homely as possible. Staff are always aware of my friend's health and well-being when I ask questions and keen to share activities she has participated in. My friend is always in clean
clothes and looks well cared for. She is happy and settled, loves the food and I have always noticed how kind staff are to all residents.

My husband came to Broomhills from another care home after suffering from illness. The staff are truly amazing, I cannot thank them enough for the care and compassion they demonstrate every day. My husband isn't an easy person to care for, but they are so patient with him, encouraging him in all aspects
of his daily life. He loves the food and personal attention he receives. Full marks and would absolutely recommend.

My mother-in-law spent 2 years 4 months in Broomhills Care Home. She received excellent care during this time. The manager and her staff supported my mother-in-law with patience, understanding and dignity. As a family, we always felt we had the staff's support in some very difficult situations. It is
a very homely care home with a friendly atmosphere. Well done everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Broomhills is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.947 for Broomhills is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.947
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Broomhills is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
