Branksome Heights is a warm and welcoming care home with exceptional staff who truly care for the residents. The home is spotless, comfortable, and has lovely gardens. Meals are excellent, and the activities keep everyone engaged. We feel completely reassured knowing our loved one is so well looked
after here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan came into this home in April and I must say I was a little hesitant and nervous.
The staff at branksome have changed my Nan's quality of life for the better and have put mine and my family's mind at rest. My Nan was at home alone with a care package but was unfortunately not able to get out
and see people. She was missing that social aspect and interaction with people other than her carers. The transition into the home was seamless.All the staff are really friendly and have made her feel so welcome. The activities in the home are great and although she may not always feel like joining in she is always invited. The food looks amazing and nan said it's tasty so that's a plus too. Overall a great experience so far.

Prior to my relative becoming a resident of Branksome Heights, he would take respite breaks there. He was always very complimentary about the care he received. He is now a permanent resident and on the occasions I have visited I have always been made to feel welcome by any staff member whom I happen
to come across. My relative is always taking part in activities - as seen in photographs on social media - and I think that is brilliant and more to the point he is well cared for. The food is exceptional for a care home. I really do think it's a lovely care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Branksome Heights nine months ago, having decided she wanted more social contact and less responsibility. After visiting several local homes, she could not have made a better choice. From the moment Mum moved in, she has been made to feel very welcome, is looked after, treated with dignity
and feels very at home.
The home is light and airy, always clean, and has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The whole team is very friendly, helpful, caring and go over and above what we expected. Everyone takes the time to welcome and engage with you.
Mum enjoys taking part in the daily activities, which are inventive and fun. The food is great and I enjoy joining her for the occasional meal.
My sister and I feel very content knowing Mum is in a safe and secure home where she still has the level of independence she wants but with the care and support of the team around her.
Well done Branksome Heights!

Dad came to stay here for a couple of weeks and ended up extending his stay for a few more weeks. From the minute he arrived until he left, the care and attention he received was wonderful. Everyone who works here gives 100% to the residents, nothing is too much and everybody is always smiling and happy.
Any request I had for Dad was always given the utmost attention and followed through. As a visitor, I received more than I would have expected and treated with kindness and it was a pleasure to visit my father every day. I have nothing but praise for the staff and would highly recommend this care home.

My mother has been a resident for over two and a half years and I've been very happy with her care over that time. We have good communication between the home and me. I like the fact that they retain staff and my mum has familiar faces around her and her care is personalised to her individual needs.
The facilities and activities provided are good and although Mum doesn't always join in, they appear to be wide-ranging to appeal to all of the residents.

The home is very much a home from home.
Everyone is welcomed with open arms and the staff are very friendly and help out with anything we ask. You can see and speak to the manager if she's in or if not, there's always someone to talk to.
It's always kept very clean and the residents are kept entertained
and busy every day, the food is lovely and if you go out and come in late, they will always have something for you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There is a very welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk into the reception area. I have visited my friend (a resident) more than once and each time, the staff greet you with a smile.
My friend needs a lot of support and it was very clear to me just how much care and gentle attention he is given.
Staff seem to know his needs and preferences so well. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
The premises are kept beautifully and the variety of thoughtful and engaging activities is wonderful. I can see a real improvement in the physical and emotional health of my lovely friend since he moved there. Another fabulous thing is how my friend's wife, one of my closest friends, is so relieved that her husband is so well cared for. It's such a blessing for her to know that her beloved husband is happy.
Should I ever need that level of nursing and care, I would count myself very lucky to stay at Branksome Heights Care Home.

I cannot praise this care home highly enough. My father stayed for a few weeks in November and December and everyone made him feel welcome and cared for during his entire stay. All of the staff are amazing, kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Being a fussy and plain eater, anything my
dad asked to be cooked was catered for whenever requested.
The cleanliness of the place was second to none and plenty of staff on hand to assist, day or night. I cannot thank them all enough for caring for my dad and would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a care home for their elderly loved ones or just for respite care.

Branksome Heights is like a luxury hotel. You are always welcomed in a warm, friendly manner by all of the staff. The lounges, restaurants and other rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. There is a wonderful feeling of serenity and all the residents look so relaxed and happy. The food is outstanding
and beautifully presented. My father's health has significantly improved since being a resident at Branksome Heights due to their high level of nursing care and kindness. I have total peace of mind that my father is being looked after in the best possible way. A big thank you to everyone at Branksome Heights.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident at Branksome Heights since March last year and I have been consistently impressed and reassured by the high standards this lovely care home provides.
The home feels more like a hotel with personal and extra special touches (like daily cakes in reception and beautiful,
seasonal floral displays and decorations) and is absolutely spotless everywhere.
The rooms are of a high standard and the communal areas, such as lounges, dining rooms, quiet areas and the garden and extensive terraces, are all superb.
But above all, the staff are wonderful; whether it's the care team, reception team, housekeeping, maintenance team or management team, everyone has time to talk and always gives a warm welcome.
I get great communication on my father's health and residents are encouraged to be engaged in activities and entertainment. It really has the personal touch. And to now have a dedicated specialist dementia nurse available, plus a nursing team is such a luxury.

Having spent a huge amount (daily)of time at Branksome Heights visiting, all I can say is fantastic. Apart from the daily activities, entertainment, food and parties, the care is second to none. My friend calls it the 'best hotel' in Bournemouth. I have visited at all times of the day and evening and
it's always the same. I speak regularly to the staff and management, and can say every single one are fabulous. My friend went for 2 weeks respite, she loved it so much she decided to make it her permanent home, the best decision she has ever made. 4 months in, she is loving every moment being there.

It was time for Mum to have some extra support and we chose Branksome Heights after viewing several homes locally. We really like the atmosphere - more like a small hotel than a care home and the thought that has been put into both individual rooms as well as shared areas. We have been able to help
Mum customise her room with pictures and some furniture to make it feel as much like her own home as possible. She is well looked after and loves the staff and the food in particular. I love the respect that the team show Mum, allowing her to retain as much of her independence as possible. Everyone - the reception team, the carers and the leadership team - have made us all feel very welcome. We're all happy that we chose here for Mum's next chapter.

I was really sad that my husband had to go into residential care at a comparatively early age. However, I couldn’t have found anywhere better for him if I tried! My long list of concerns and queries have been met and my expectations have been exceeded.
The home is clean, bright and spacious and has
a warm, inviting atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. The staff are wonderful and the food is very good which is a big plus for my husband. For the first time in almost a year, I can start to relax knowing that my husband is in a lovely place surrounded by kind and caring staff and is being really well cared for.
A huge thank you from me to the Branksome Heights team!

From my first visit, I knew that Dad would be happy here and this was the home for him.
All my questions and worries were answered (and I had lots!).
The staff and management are caring and friendly.

As visitors we are always made to feel welcome and no matter how busy
the staff are they will find time to chat with me about Dad’s day.

Mum was very independent before she went to Branksome Heights. After a health scare, it was decided she needed more care. She soon adapted to the change and now realises it was the best decision for her. The staff are very friendly and helpful and very approachable. Although she doesn't interact much,
she is very happy and I know she is very well looked after.

My mother has been in Branksome Heights since August 2021. It is, by far, the best care home in the area, chosen by my brother and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she has been given. Her room is beautiful and always clean and tidy. She is cared for by the staff with the utmost respect
and dignity and is always dressed well despite her condition. The reception staff always have a smile and greet you very nicely and you are introduced to everyone. There are always tea and cakes available if you are visiting. The menu is varied and of excellent quality, well done to the chefs. The daily activities are well-organised and varied. The manager is excellent in responding quickly to any questions and has arranged video calls for me to stay in contact with my mum as I’m overseas. Couldn’t wish for better care.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Branksome Heights Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Branksome Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (454 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 475 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Branksome Heights Nursing Home is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I particularly love the Care Home environment and feel right at home here at Branksome Heights, helping to create a warm friendly welcome to the home. I enjoy meeting new people and building relationships with residents, families and staff.


Branksome Heights is only a short walk from my home and is in such a lovely area surrounded as it is by woods, and parks and close to the sea. It is a joy to see residents’ families coming along to take their loved ones for local trips out and for walks to Coy Pond and through the Chinese to the seafront. I enjoy being creative and love producing menu designs, writing our newsletters, and sometimes the occasional poem
