Our mother had to leave the hospital on 16/7/2017 and spent 10 months at Bradfield. I had no idea how care homes operated. I was shown around by a weekend senior care lady and subsequently met the owners. My mother and all the ladies and gents at Bradfield were always treated with respect and kindness.
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.
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.
Thank you, Bradfield.
Seems very nice, I feel welcome. I feel happy and relaxed when visiting. Good activities. Always offered a tea and coffee.
Bradfield care home offers a friendly, supportive high standard of care for the elderly. It feels like a home from home and the service users are treated with dignity and respect. It is very clean and the staff on friendly and work to a very high standard. When we visit, we are always made welcome and kept up to date with my relative's progress and care. It feels safe and secure, one or if not the best care home I have visited.
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.
There are a number of areas/places/rooms to meet and chat with residents, such as if an activity is on-going in one, another will be quieter for a chat.
Bradfield Residential Home cared for my mother in a professional and exemplary way during her four years stay. We have no complaints.
My mother-in-law was at Bradfield Residential Home for a few years and was very ill before passing away. During her time there she always had a rapport with all the staff. Always sharing banter and a good laugh with them. Staff and management were always attentive to her needs, always checking she was OK. She was treated with consideration and respect at all times.
After seeing how happy my nan is after only a few weeks in the home I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for somewhere for an elderly family member. The staff are all lovely and can't do enough for the residents and for their visitors. The home is spotless and you can see great care is taken to keep the home that way.
My mum was in Bradfield from June 2014 until Aug 2017. The care and attention she received was outstanding, the management and staff were very helpful, caring and made her stay very comfortable. They were amazing and looked after her when she needed end of life care. We as a family could not have chosen a better place.
The bosses and staff could not do enough for those in their care. I cannot thank them enough for all their kindness.
Mum came to Bradfields for a period of respite, initially for two weeks, however she felt so at home and so well looked after - she stayed for four. Her care was absolutely marvellous and meant that the whole family was able to relax completely reassured that she was in the best of hands.
The whole team were caring, confident and welcoming. Mum is a very private person, however the personal care offered was done in such a way that she relaxed and made the most of being looked after.
From our initial telephone call when we were invited to 'just drop in at any time' (always a very good sign) to seeing how the team at Bradfields looked after their residents and the quality of the house, from the food to the warmth just told us that mum would be well looked after. So much so that she has regained her strength and independence.
Many thanks to all.
My mother was a resident of Bradfield Residential Home for just over three years and during this time she was very happy and content. She was extremely well cared for and treated with great kindness/ dignity by all members of the staff.
She enjoyed the daily activities organised by the home and appreciated the many musicians who came to the home on a regular basis to entertain the residents.
She very much enjoyed her meals.
She felt very safe and secure in the home and if she felt unwell, the staff treated the situation seriously and sought the correct remedy.
The staff were fantastic, caring and helpful. Very clean and food very good. Couldn't ask for a better care home.
My mother, at 104, needs a good deal of help, especially after falling and breaking her hip last year. The help is cheerfully given and her condition carefully monitored. Her quality of life is inevitably much diminished but she always seems happy; this must be down to the care she receives from the staff. As a visitor I always feel welcome at the home, tea or coffee is always offered.
