Review from Sylvie H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 8 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

From the initial day of viewing the home and being shown around by a nice long standing member of staff, who was happy to open every door, albeit, store cupboards with a 'nothing to hide' attitude, which we liked. She was honest in answering our questions to the fact, of also showing us the old, outdated

areas, which were 'work in progress'. Before and after we could see the way forward with this happy caring home.
The staff went about their daily duties in a professional happy manner. At times we do feel there isn't enough staff on duty, especially as many of the users have more challenging behaviour. More so, I think more staff are needed for the meal times so that all users are having their meals whilst still appetisingly hot.
Overall the food looks good, which our relative enjoys.
The room is more than adequate and we spend most visiting days staying in there with our family member. There's always time for passing staff to say a friendly hello, along with asking if we need anything.
We feel nothing is too much trouble. Both management and staff are totally approachable and I wouldn't hesitate to raise any issues as I know it would be dealt with effectively and professionally.
At the end of the day, we all have the relatives best interests at heart.
We would not have any doubt in recommending Brambling Lodge to others. Out relative has been made welcome, kept warm, safe, clean and comfortable along with needs met with dignity for personal care and attention.
With the new owner and new management we look forward to seeing continued 'team building' and plans evolve for the future.

Overall Experience

The residents of Brambling Lodge are treated as they would be in their own home where possible. The atmosphere is usually happy and relaxed. There is always plenty of beverages provided on a regular basis, and fresh food always available. There is always activities for the residents who can participate

which helped to keep them occupied. Entertainment is provided on a number of occasions during the month with the residents singing along. For personal needs, hairdressing and chiropody are provided on a regular basis.
