Everyone at Braemar are amazing and my mum receives excellent care. The only thing I struggle with (as must the residents) is remembering all of the staff members names. I appreciate that they have 'swipe' ID cards on them bu tnames are not easily visible. It would be so helpful if staff wore the dementia friendly yellow 'Hello my name is ...' badges. I for one feel embarressed to keep asking names - I'm sure staff must get fed up wtih it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. As you say, we do all wear name badges but have taken on board your feedback that they are not visible enough and are looking into solutions. :)
My father in law has been a resident at the braemar for a year now and we could not be happier with his placement and his on going care. The carers are friendly and supportive always greeting our visits with a smile and conversations. Georgia the manager goes above and beyond to accommodate the...

In addition, the management at Braemar is brilliant at running the home yet approachable and has met any requests we have made during this time swiftly and efficiently.
Based on our experience, we thoroughly recommend Braemar Care Home to other families who find themselves in need of a placement for a loved one.
Thank you again for your recommendation it is very much appreciated.

My brother has been living in Braemar for the last 12 months. He was very ill when he moved there from hospital, and he has been nurtured and cared for by the kind and considerate staff. They have spent time encouraging and supporting him to be as independent as possible, and nothing seemed too...
He always looked clean and well presented whenever I saw him. Activities were arranged, which he thoroughly enjoyed. His room was always clean, and in all the times I visited the home it always smelled fresh.
He left recently to start a new life, and already has told me he misses everybody at Braemar. They are all amazing, and we as a family are eternally grateful for everything you did, we will never forget the kindness you showed to our loved one.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Tracey. We all miss J and his lovely smile. His presence really brightened our days here at Braemar. We truly hope he'll come back to visit us soon, it would be wonderful to see him again. We're so proud of everything he's achieved and wish him all the very...
Thank you so much for your kind words, Tracey. We all miss J and his lovely smile. His presence really brightened our days here at Braemar. We truly hope he'll come back to visit us soon, it would be wonderful to see him again. We're so proud of everything he's achieved and wish him all the very best as he settles into his new independent home. May he continue to grow and thrive, just as he did during his time with us.
We have never had any concerns about her care, and are confident she is happy & well looked after here.
Thank you!

She has memory loss, which can be challenging, but the staff are endlessly patient, kind and understanding - not just with Mum, but with us as a family too.
They always keep us updated on what she's been up to, which gives us such peace of mind.
Mum has the freedom to walk around and sit wherever she feels comfortable, and she especially loves spending time in the beautiful conservatory.
Her room is bright, cosy and welcoming, and she feels very much at home there.
Bath time can sometimes be tricky to get mum to bath but the carers always manage it with sensitivity and a gentle, reassuring approach.
We're also so grateful for Georgia, the manager, who is always there for us - whether by phone, email or in person. She's so lovely and caring, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
All the staff are cheerful , caring and welcoming .

Mum enjoys her room, the food, the entertainment but most of all she adores the carers. I am always struck by how kind, caring and fun the staff are despite working in what must be very stressful jobs. I can honestly wholeheartedly recommend Braemar as a lovely home.
Thank you so, so much for your thoughtful comments. I have shared with our team who work very hard.

When we had to find respite care for my brother at extremely short notice, Braemar pulled out all the stops to accommodate him the same day, for which we are eternally grateful. The staff, led by Georgia and Hannnah, are extremely professional, personable and really care about the residents' well being. They have taken the time to understand my brother's needs and nothing is too much trouble. The chef introduced herself at our first meeting to ascertain any allergies, likes and dislikes, and, having a healthy appetite, the food has been one of my brother's daily highlights. Had it not been for the fact that I wished to find a permanent home for him closer to me, and had the average age of the other residents been a little closer to that of my brother (he's only 65), I would have had no hesitation in making Braemar his forever home.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, I have shared with the team who will be so pleased to hear it.
