  • Breme Residential Care Home, Bromsgrove
Providing residential and dementia care, the home has launched its beautiful eight-bed Mulberry Suite offering respite care breaks, which can be pre-booked up to six months ahead. This unique service means that family carers can have some ‘me time’, whilst their loved one is being cared for in wonderful surroundings. The suite has beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite wet rooms, a communal lounge and dining area, kitchenette and a quiet study area.

And person-centred day care sessions are also provided on Tuesdays and Thursdays (9.30am to 4.30pm). These sessions include fabulous activities, a delicious lunch and afternoon tea and refreshments.

The gardens at Breme are a beautiful space for the residents to grow their own fruit and veg, which they pick for the chef to use in the kitchen, giving them such a sense of achievement.

There are visits from local nursery children and volunteers, a local vicar who holds religious services, animal visits, pamper sessions, weekly community coffee mornings, live music, baking, fitness classes and so much more! There is also a minibus, for regular day trips. The home also has fantastic links with Bromsgrove Library, keeping the residents regularly supplied with reading materials!

The beautiful gardens are perfect for summer picnics, parties and relaxing with family and friends, who are welcome to visit at any time. The home also has its own private Facebook group, so loved ones can stay connected and see what the residents are enjoying, even if they can’t be there that day.

Breme has beautiful bedrooms, with ensuite wet rooms, several of which have patio access to the gardens. There is also a salon, for weekly appointments with a mobile hairdresser.

There are lovely lounge areas and dining rooms, where residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked food and home-baked treats for afternoon tea. The residents also enjoy regular cheese and wine nights.

My father went into Breme on 9th May 2018 (I was very nervous). After the first month it has changed his life completely, he is happy, settled and looks very well. On visiting he is always clean, well dressed and looks amazing. I feel this is all down to the staff, always a smile on their faces, ready
to help and support and nothing is too much trouble. I cannot thank them enough, staff/management are always there to help. Thank you.

Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Care is very inconsistent. My Mother stays in her room so is often forgotten. For example, she has a weekly hair appointment but sometimes they don't come to fetch her to go. The other day she didn't get any breakfast, she was asked what she wanted but they didn't come back with it and it wasn't until
they came round with her tablets that it was realised. She doesn't always get what she has asked for and I have seen food dished up which looks like its leftovers slopped out. She should get a cup and saucer and teapot but that doesn't always happen.
I am very angry at the rise of £50 per week as I don't see why she should pay to subsidise council paying residents. Training, I should think in this care home, is minimal and the matter of kindness needs to be rethought.
Reply from Rebecca Rudge, Home Manager at Breme Residential Care Home

It saddens me to read these comments as when I speak to your mother she does not pass on these concerns. Some residents prefer to spend time in their rooms rather than socialise with their fellow residents and we need to respect their choices - that doesn’t mean they are forgotten and we constantly visit their rooms to have a chat, do individual activities if they wish, and of course meet any care needs they have. If you would like to come and speak to me I would be very happy to talk to you to about any concerns at all.

For approximately a decade my mother, now 99, has attended Breme Care Home in Bromsgrove. The staff are aware of her needs, are supportive and reassure her. During the periods of respite, I know my mum will be well looked after and I am able to have a break from the intensive caring responsibilities
at the family home in Redditch. This review is submitted with thanks.

Since my mum has been a resident at Breme she has been extremely happy and settled. The staff who care for her treat her with the utmost respect like they would there own mum. Losing her independence had been difficult for my mum but Breme have helped her immensely.

This is a good home, however, I feel that floors are often understaffed. I also feel that meals could be more geared to what they would be used to at home which was a cooked meal in the evenings rather than at lunchtime.

Breme is perfect for my mother, her own space when she wants as she is a private person. The staff all seem to care and have a good attitude to the residents and are friendly. It's recently been refurbished and is clean and modern. It has the feel of a "bed and breakfast" with care rather than an "old
people's home" I'm so glad I found this place, it puts my mind at rest that my mother is safe and well cared for.

I have been at this home for 3 months. I have been looked after very well. The staff are kind and treat me with respect. I enjoy the food mostly.
Although I don't want to be here it's the best choice.

My family and I are extremely happy with the care and support given to not only our Mom but us too. Bream House is a clean, bright and happy environment. The staff are always cheerful, caring and they treat residents with dignity, they try hard to encourage independence although not always accepted
or welcomed. They treat all visitors with respect, welcome input on Moms care, we get constant feedback on her progress, listen to our concerns with empathy and understanding. Activities are ongoing and key calendar dates are celebrated, we have nothing but praise for Bream's staff.

Breme Residential Care Home is best of its class in Worcestershire. The staff are very kind my mom could not get any better care than if she was in a nursing home. The staff work very hard keeping the home clean and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are lovely with their own bathroom and everyone
is treated with dignity value for money and is excellent I can really recommend Breme no doubt in my mind 5 star rating best home in the area

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Breme Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.714 for Breme Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.714
  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 Breme Residential Care Home is based on 18 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 18 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.
