From the day my mum arrived at Brighstone Grange to the day she sadly passed away, every single member of staff showed her care, kindness and compassion, nothing was too much trouble for them to sort out or arrange for her. They took time to get to know her as a person, not just a resident. I feel...
Living overseas, it was an enormous comfort to know she was surrounded by people who genuinely looked after her especially when I couldn't be there. That is something I will always be thankful for and I only wish she had moved there sooner.
I could write volumes about Brighstone Grange, even though she was there for only 3 months. The staff kept us informed and updated about everything, from important medical decisions to funny moments and anecdotes they shared with her.
Brighstone Grange is so much more than a care home - it truly is a home from home and we will always remember the love and exceptional care they gave her.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, especially at such a difficult time. We are so sorry for the loss of your mum, and we're glad that the months she spent with us meant so much to you both.It means a great deal to know our team took the trouble to get to know her as a person, not just someone to look after. That's exactly what we hope Brighstone Grange offers every family - a place that feels like home, and a team that feels like family, even from a distance, as it was for you.
We'll share your words with the whole team who cared for her. They will be touched to read them.
Thank you again, Kelsey. We were honoured to be part of her final months.

Every member of staff on duty was warm and welcoming and made us feel at home. Lots of smiles and fun.
The leadership and management of the home over the festive period was excellent. The teams working together were organised and everyone's individual needs, including my mums were seen to be catered for.
The provision of excellent festive food was done in a non-institutionalised manner by the catering staff. They always have a smile and take pride in the food they have cooked and deliver.
I can go to sleep at night knowing my mum is very well cared for, happy and safe.
Thank you.

Mum has loved every minute of her stay at Brighstone Grange. All of the staff are professional, caring and nothing is beyond the call of duty whoever it may be!

Mum has loved every minute of her stay at Brighstone Grange. All of the staff are professional, caring and nothing is beyond the call of duty whoever it may be! The food is excellent and the Grange is warm and clean. Mum would be taken to a community choir once a week, which she thoroughly enjoyed, as she loved to sing. When visiting there is always a friendly face to greet you and an offer of refreshment. The standard is definitely 5 star.
The food is excellent and nothing is too much bother for the staff who do everything in their power to ensure the residents are all happy and comfortable.

They always offer to help or make a cup of tea etc. Mum absolutely adores all staff at Brighstone, she loves them like family which is really special!
They have an activity calendar with a different activity every single day which is amazing and impressive, especially for Mum who is a younger resident. The home is lovely, always clean and tidy, Mum's room and washing are also kept clean and tidy also. The food always smells delicious and Mum loves, so that's a good sign! Management to housekeeping staff, everyone is friendly and always up for having a laugh with Mum, which she really needs. Thank you guys so, so much!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so happy to hear that your mum feels so at home and that our staff care and friendliness make a real difference. It's great to know she enjoys the activities, the delicious food and the warm atmosphere. Your kind words mean so much to the entire team, Thank you!
Could not rate Brighstone Grange more highly. The staff are kind, compassionate, funny and make my step-sister's life as good as it can be. Am thinking of booking a place myself!

She did not want to leave her home but her health had deteriorated necessitating more care than could be provided at home.
She settled really well but had a few ‘blips’ where she asked to go home and didn’t want to stay.
However, I am delighted that she seems now to be content. She is a private person who likes her own company but she spends all her time in the lounge with others.
I find the staff really pleasant, respectful and kind. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and they create a warm, friendly and happy environment for all residents, despite some challenging behaviour at times! My aunt seems to be very grateful to all carers and I am so pleased for the warm welcome I am always given.
I couldn’t speak more highly of the surroundings in which my aunt lives, her bedroom is always spotlessly clean as are all areas. The food always smells and looks delicious.
Thank you very much.

I find the staff to be really nice and they really care about my father and always keep me informed if there are any problems with his health. I am very happy with Brighstone overall. It is set in a lovely location and nothing is too much for them.
I would like to see more entertainment in the home for the residents as they seem to spend a lot of their time not doing much and it would be nice if they could go out or have more people come in to entertain them.

Thanks for your response, Julie, I'm delighted that your experience has been so positive. Your feedback regarding the activities offered at Brighstone is welcome; I will pass it on to the team. The Vital staff have put together and activities plan for August, which is on top of the outings and religious services which people are supported to attend. They have also started devising our activities wall so there will be visual photographs of the activities we do in the hallway alongside the activity planner so families can see what we do. Thank you again for your feedback, it's always welcome and helps us to improve where we need to! Ian

I began my care journey in 2008 caring for my grandfather who was living with Dementia. When my grandfather passed away, I knew that I wanted to continue providing support in a caring environment and applied for a care assistant role in a residential care home.
I am passionate about supporting individuals in a personalised way, ensuring they live life to the fullest. I progressed through my care journey completing my level 3 and 5 diploma in health and social care developing my skills and knowledge. I have been working at the management level since 2017.
