Review from Mandy B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My dad moved into Breach House in March 2025 until July 2025. The home seemed okay at first, it looked clean and there were no bad smells like most care homes. The staff were friendly. The food was great. We visited Dad on different days. Most of the time, he was unshaven and did not look clean he looked
a mess with creased clothes. My dad was always clean and shaved and took pride in how he looked. I felt sorry and sad for my dad. But the downfall was that he was unable to go into the garden. My dad is an outdoor person, so he got very frustrated over time (we were told he was able to go into the garden anytime he would like). After the first week, my dad had an accident and ended up in hospital, where he had a hip operation due to him being able to get into an unlocked medication room and trying to climb out of a window, to which he was able to open (the security latch was broken), and he fell. Management did not tell us about the investigation or what the outcome was.

My sister and I moved our mom into Breach House Care Home after being unhappy with her previous home. It was the best decision and we are very happy with her care and surroundings. All the staff go above and beyond and our mom is so much happier in herself. We feel very fortunate to have found such
a good and caring home for our mom.

The location and overall environment are lovely, quiet, peaceful and relaxing.
Staff are very attentive and caring, and this is a great reassurance to me and the rest of the family. With so few residents currently, it's very quiet, and the addition of new residents would enhance the atmosphere and
social environment, including activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience of Breach House has been excellent. We have found it to be clean, well equipped and homely. Dad has settled really well, despite not wanting to go into residential care. He has found the care to be really good and is obviously enjoying the social interaction he didn't have at home. We
were recommended to Breach House for respite care, but we have since decided Dad is much safer and happier here and have decided to make his stay permanent. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to other people.

My mum has been a resident at Breach House for three years. During that time, her mobility has decreased and her needs have increased. All the staff at the home, care for her with the utmost professionalism. She is treated with dignity and consideration and in addition to our weekly visits, the staff
always keep me informed of any changes to her well being. I have the utmost confidence in the decisions made concerning my mum's care and the staff always discuss any concerns they may have, with me.

I am involved in "care" and have been for over 10 years so I am aware of most care homes in the area. When it came to finding a care home for my mother I knew it had to be Breach House. The residents are well cared for with dignity at all times. The staff are friendly, caring, patient and considerate
to residents and their family or friends. I would have recommended Breach House to others.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Breach House since Feb 2020. The staff and the quality of care they provide are excellent, she's treated with such kindness and dignity. We are so pleased that we found Breach House after looking at a few other homes in the area this one was outstanding the best
obvious choice. My mother-in-law is happy and settled always smiling when we visit her and is always apparent that her needs are being more than met. The staff have done a fantastic job during these difficult Covid times. We are so grateful and will never be able to thank them enough.

My mum needs 24/7 care due to severe dementia. Due to Covid restrictions, it has been hard to visit as regularly as I would like. However, I have no concerns about my mums care. She is as happy and content as she can be with dementia. I have always felt welcome and there is always someone to speak to
and answer my questions. My mum is always clean and tidy. The home is also kept very clean and the staff are friendly.

Mum was put in Breach House for emergency respite care last November. When the decision was made that mum needed permanent care, she was clear she wanted to stay at Breach House. After being very frightened at the idea of being in a "home", she had really settled. So far I cannot imagine my mum being
in a better place, now she needs 24hours support.

My mother has recently died, 3 weeks before her 100th birthday, as a resident at Breach House since February 2014.
My husband and I have visited her over 500 times over that period, and have NEVER seen anything at all that has concerned or upset us in any way, with regard to the happenings at Breach
House and have only very good things to say about the staff and carers.
We are both elderly and my husband and I have joked with the Principal that we may be booking in there ourselves in due course as we are so very impressed with the whole set up at Breach and would be more than happy to spend our last days there.

When you and your family have to make the decision about your loved one and full time care, you wish with all your heart that they will be looked after with the love, care, respect and dignity that they deserve. We found all of this at Breach House! Thank you to all of the staff and management for your
dedication!

When I first signed the contract for mummy to stay at Breach House I felt like I had signed her life away and was pretty upset. The Manager took me in her office, gave me a huge hug and told me to just wait & see ... She couldn't have been more right! After a couple of weeks mum was playing bingo,
snap with another resident, having singalongs with the musicians that come in on a regular basis and doing exercises! She has always been a social character & very rarely spends time in her spacious room (where she has a lot of her own furniture & paintings), she prefers the company of the other residents and staff who couldn't be more helpful or caring. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, from ensuring mums visitors have tea & biscuits/cake when they come to visit to doing their nails and hair to make them feel special. I know that at Breach House my mum is being truly cared for, I can visit on a daily basis at any time & now when she comes out with me after a few hours she looks at her watch and says "isn't it time to go home now?"

Review from Gail H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A lovely home in beautiful surroundings. The care provided for my mother was fantastic - she was fortunate to be able to walk in, and beyond, the confines of the home and grounds at Breach House which gave her a feeling of independence. My mother was in good health and she did not suffer from dementia
or Alzheimers. She found it difficult to find companionship with the residents in the home and preferred to spend time in her room. This, however, is not a criticism of Breach House staff in any way. Simply that mother was a very independent soul and had lived on her own for over 20 years before moving to Breach House at the age of 98. Initially, mother did not need any close personal care, but during the last few months she was totally dependent on the staff. The commitment, love, time and understanding all the staff showed to my mother could not be faulted. The staff were superb. During mother's last week at the home, she was kept spotlessly clean, fresh and totally at peace with her surroundings. Almost every time I visited, a member of staff was with her and she could not have received more attentive care. I shall remain eternally grateful that mother died in her room with music being played and was totally at peace.

Current Review Score: 6.6 (6.647)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.6 (6.647) out of 10 for Breach House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 3.500 for Breach House is calculated as follows: ( (3 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 3.5
  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 3.147 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Breach House is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.147
  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.
