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.

My brother has been in this home for a few months now. He feels very comfortable with his surroundings and staff. He tells me the staff are friendly and very supportive with his needs. All staff encourage him to get involved with all activities they put on. Any questions or support that I need, management

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has just moved into Broomhills as she has MS and unfortunately getting progressively worse. We have found the staff very helpful and kind and willing to make my sister as comfortable as possible. It is always lovely and clean and there always seems to be staff around if you need them. My sister
is completely bedridden and incontinent so needs special care which she is getting! She has lived on microwave meals for the last few years having carers four times a day But now she is already looking better for the fresh food and variety she is getting. It all looks really appetising when she gets it having been there visiting at meal times. So far we are very pleased with her care and cannot fault the staff.

Overall, we have nothing but praise and thanks to the whole team at Broomhills Care Home. During one of the most difficult times and decisions we had to make regarding Mum's ongoing care, the staff have supported both Mum, my dad, who had to take her in, and me during the transition - she has settled
well and is living safely, with dignity and above all, care. We are so grateful that we found this wonderful place for her.

My aunt has come into Broomhills from a warden controlled flat. She is bed-bound due to multiple sclerosis and the transition in moving her was excellent. She has settled in nicely at Broomhills and is enjoying the food and has also commented that the staff are very attentive and friendly. All in all,
we are very satisfied and hope the level of care continues.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Up to November last year both my parents were residents at broom hills, the care my mum received after her passing was extremely exceptional. She was thought of as everyone's family member. My dad is now alone, but i never feel he is ignored he is taken out and always treated with dignity respect and
affection. Brim hills is his family and i can see he feels safe and cared for 24/7. Thank you.

The manager is very passionate about her job and her team are amazing. The staff go beyond the call of duty to care for their residents.
I would highly recommend Broomhills Care Home.
The home is clean and maintained very well, the gardens are colourful.

My grandmother became a resident in December 2022. She came in from a hospital stay and was struggling to walk. She was eating poorly and was withdrawn. In the time she has been here, she has transformed in lots of ways. She attends knitting club, has her hair done, has started walking again and has
gained weight. We are very pleased with the care she's received.

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.
