Briarlea is an award-winning, family-run residential home. Catering to a maximum of 28 individuals, Briarlea specialises in the finest, person-centred care on a small scale. The home boasts 4 sitting rooms, a beautiful garden-patio, as well as a range of ensuite bedrooms to suit every budget. Briarlea seeks to emulate the same cosy environment that residents have enjoyed in their own homes; with rich, traditional interiors and plenty of comfy furnishings. All meals are cooked fresh, with an emphasis on local, seasonal ingredients.
The home also benefits from scenic surrounds, with residents enjoying 4 acres of scenic garden - including Briarlea’s private plum orchard. For nature lovers, Briarlea’s rooms command sweeping vistas over the surrounding countryside, which is often coupled with sightings of deer and other local wildlife. Meanwhile, a bus drop outside the home helps residents make the 1-mile journey into Evesham town centre when they desire. Bubbly, longstanding staff hail from the surrounding villages and run various initiatives to ensure residents stay connected to their local clubs, shops, and communities.
The home’s motto is ‘life is for living’ and high staff ratios ensure Briarlea hosts a lively social scene. There are plenty of activities for residents to enjoy, making Briarlea a wonderful place to grow old - although never old at heart!

I have found the staff to be caring and helpful at the home. My mother is 91 and needs help with all aspects of her life. I was pleased with the speed that the home acted when lockdown came. Although unable to see my mother, we were kept informed via the home's website.

She is 93 and after my father died 18 months ago she just wants to be with him. She wasn't very happy about having to see me outside and she only managed to stay for 15 minutes she wanted to go back in!

Thank you for your review. We know these are exceptional times and social distancing is keeping families apart when they want to be together, but it is only through working together and following what can be unpleasant procedures, that we can all stay safe... At the time of writing, Briarlea has remained Covid free throughout the pandemic and we have not lost any residents though the virus. Our focus has always remained the safety of those in our care and I hope that can be understood, while we steer our way through these difficult times. Kind regards, Mark, Owner.
Friendly, helpful, caring, every time you go, looking after the residents very well.

My mum is always treated with dignity, compassion and, above all, cheerfulness. The Briarlea staff make her laugh by jollying her along even when she is having a difficult day. Their care is outstanding, the home is always bright, fresh and welcoming, and the manager has done a superb job in preparing and maintaining a covid-19 free home despite the enormously challenging situation. Full credit must go to the manager and her staff for keeping our relatives safe and happy whilst under considerable strain from the ongoing pandemic.
Their professionalism, care, compassion shown towards my mother, communication to us as a family and the ability to create a safe environment for my...
Thank you Briarlea for making my mum smile again!

My mother has been a resident since April this year and after a tentative settling-in period, she has now settled in beautifully and has many friends here now. She feels at ease here because she knows if she is in trouble, then help is at hand 24-hours. She enjoys the events -especially the singers. She enjoys the meals. The carers are absolutely wonderful with her and the other residents and nothing is too much trouble, even though they are always busy. They are kind, caring and have a great sense of humour, which my mother appreciates. Her room and en-suite are gorgeous and she totally loves it.
My mother seems happy and contented at Briarlea. Her health appears to have improved since moving to the home. The staff are very friendly and there is a good rapport between them and my mother.

I began volunteering at Briarlea Care Home in January 2019, I attend the care home once a week to spend time with the residents. I felt very welcomed by both staff and residents when I first arrived at Briarlea and the quality of care for the residents is brilliant. All the carers work tirelessly to make the residents lives better and easier. The residents are all very kind to me and are so lovely. Briarlea is a great place to volunteer!

Though we no longer live locally now, we do try and visit our relative as often as possible. When we arrive, a cheery member of staff always greets us with a smile. There is quite often a lovely smell of home-cooked food (depending whatever time we visit). The furnishings are superb, like a hotel. Lovely, light airy colours, cheery silk flower arrangement in each window/table. Nice treats for residents each week (film night) impressive raffle prizes. A most pleasant, friendly atmosphere.
Mum was very anxious when she arrived in October 2018 and she has been helped and encouraged by everyone to join in.

I have been living at the home for almost 5 years and am very happy with all the care and support I receive from the staff here, they are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The food is very good, there are occasions when I don't like the food choices but I am able to speak to the staff and the cook and they help me to pick something else. I enjoy the activity programme and get involved with everything available if I can, especially enjoy the singers. I recently fulfilled my wish of going to a falconry display with 2 of the staff from the home, they even took me for afternoon tea whilst we were there. I recently had to go out to appointments for my eyes and the staff have taken me and supported me to ensure I can attend my appointments. I have many friends that I have made here and enjoy spending time with them.
I love staying here. I have been very happy. Lovely place. Thank you very much.

Mum has been resident here for almost a year. She has settled in very well and enjoys the company of the residents and staff. She has gained a little weight and looks better in herself than she has for a long time. The staff are very kind and helpful.

Joanne, or Jo for short, has been at Briarlea since 2003. In fact, Jo was the first person that Briarlea’s owners Mark & Sally employed when they first took over the business. Back then, Jo was employed as a carer & cleaner but growing with experience – becoming a valuable member of the care team, before branching out into management, firstly as care co-ordinator, the deputy manager and now care home manager.
As you might expect over her many years at Briarlea, Jo knows all our residents and the home inside out. She’s Briarlea’s biggest cheerleader – and has a real drive to make each one of the care team (herself included) the most knowledgeable, skilled carers they can be. As Briarlea’s residents deserve the best!

Lisa is Briarlea’s longest serving member of staff joining the team from leaving school – she’s been caring for residents since 1992! Over those years, we’ve all become familiar with the bright, cheery energy she brings to work each day. She’s has a wonderful, tranquil effect on the home. Lisa’s Mum, Val (now retired) also used to work at Briarlea. Lisa undertook a hairdressing course and is fully qualified, so on a Wednesday, Lisa and Val pop-in to do hair for any of our residents. But you have to book up fast - their perms are very popular.

Lisa B has been a much-loved member of Briarlea since 2018. She is one of our in-house chefs and makes all our resident's favourite meals, including home-made Shepherd’s Pie, Fish & Chips and wonderful Roasts. But it’s in the dessert department where Lisa truly comes into her own. She’s known for her birthday cakes. As whenever it’s a resident’s birthday, Lisa will treat them to a home-made cake topped with whatever ingredients they desire, recently requested were – chocolate Aero, plus Jelly Babies – you name it, she’ll make it! This cake tradition brings all of Briarlea together. For every individual who calls Briarlea home, Lisa makes sure they feel special on their big day.

Rob is our handyman here at Briarlea. Whenever our residents need a lightbulb changed, a wardrobe fixed or if we’re simply sprucing up the home – we call straight for Rob. He’s our in-house superman. He’s also got a wicked sense of humour. So when he’s not up a ladder, you’ll probably find him larking about with residents. Rob is married to Jo and as husband and wife, they make a winning duo at Briarlea. It all lends to the homely, family-vibe we like to cultivate.
