We have a lot to be thankful for what his generation sacrificed for us to have today.
The staff were all brilliant and exceptionally well...
Mum particularly enjoyed days out in Bradfield's modified wheelchair friendly microvan. The management are outstanding and very highly qualified. They are so interested in their work. Their advice, support and guidance to relatives is timely and brilliant, whether face to face or on the phone, whether writing Care Plans or liaising with local doctors to ensure the very best service to their residents.

My mother-in-law has been resident at this home for 5 months. My husband and I have been very impressed with the level of care she receives. She was previously living by herself and now loves the company and social interaction, which also helps her dementia. There are daily activities and she particularly loves the singing and creative ones. She has put on the weight previously lost and thoroughly enjoying her food. I even heard the cook offering to make her a different dish as she didn't want the dinner option that day. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. We feel that the move has given her a new lease of life and we have peace of mind as she is so well cared for. Led by a great management team, Bradfield is 'head and shoulders' above the rest.

She is cared for by the kind staff, who are efficient, friendly and cheerful. The owners are so helpful and, without a doubt also kind. Mum is known by her first name and I am confident she could not be better looked after.
It's a huge step for anyone to decide to go into residential care and also for the family trying to cope with all the worries and cares of their loved ones. My mother has received the highest level of care, everything is outstanding and we can't thank Bradfield Residential Home enough for also...
Staff, home, food, grounds and activities are simply outstanding.

My mother had been very anxious and demanding before she went to live at Bradfield Residential Care Home. She was hardly eating and becoming seriously underweight. At first, she told me, as her daughter, to let the staff know at Bradfield that she did not wish to join in any activities. Now four months later her life has been transformed. She is laughing and joking with the staff, enjoying her meals and entering into the spirit of whatever activity is on offer at the care home.
It is an enormous relief for her family to know that she is happy, settled and well-cared for. Whenever I visit my mother at Bradfield, I am always made most welcome.
Not only that but they have been...
Thank you, Bradfield.
Seems very nice, I feel welcome. I feel happy and relaxed when visiting. Good activities. Always offered a tea and coffee.

During the seven years that my mother lived at Bradfield, her dementia became worse until she was totally dependent on staff for her personal care and feeding. The management and staff were excellent, adjusting the level of care as her needs increased. I was always made welcome at Bradfield and felt able to visit my mother at any time of day. The wider family was always welcomed to celebrate birthdays and Christmas. Bradfield was run as a big family home and everyone felt part of the family. At the end of Mum's life, staff were kind and professional, enabling her to have a peaceful and dignified death.
It has been a privilege to have been able to care for your mother who had lived such a fulfilling life. David & Rebecca.
