Review from G I (Godson of Resident) published on 1 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our uncle was in your care for just over 12 months in that time he settled extremely well and we knew he was in safe hands.
He had lived alone for 6 years and was not very sociable before he joined you, so we had reservations about how he would cope with a care home environment. We did not need to
worry. During Covid, you made a great effort to get all the care into place that he needed.

My auntie has been at Bracebridge Court for two years since my uncle (her main carer) died suddenly and there is nowhere else I would rather her be. I dread to think what would have happened to her if she had been left at home, especially during the pandemic. Everyone here has worked so hard to keep
everyone safe and happy.

Review from Yvonne D (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Just visited my mum face to face for the 1st time in months. It was an exceptional welcome by the staff with chocolates, welcome back poster's, greetings and laughter. I was very impressed with the PPE and lateral flow testing. Made meeting Mum even more special. Staff have copied admirable throughout
this awful crisis; well done, and thank you.


My only negative comment would be; the group should consider employing staff specifically for the day to day testing of residents and visitors, PPE distribution. The day to day management by a specific individual(s) would free up the existing staff to carry out the normal jobs that they are employed to do. Whilst carrying out these additional duties, residents do not benefit from their employment role.

Dad became a resident in the home in November 2020 and despite the difficulties the virus has presented, from day one the staff have been excellent. Communication has been really good and they have welcomed window and pod visits along with Skype and telephone calls which have been a great comfort to
the family during these times. Dad is very content and is clearly very well looked after. The home is modern and very clean, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Bracebridge Court at the beginning of lockdown, I have nothing but admiration for how the staff and management have handled the situation. We are given so many opportunities to call, video call and window visit which not ideal in the winter is better than nothing. The manager updates
us with an email weekly, also always at the end of the phone and always appears to have the time to listen to my concerns. Mum appears to have settled and says the food is 5 star. She says her room is very clean and tidy and the staff are kind and caring which is all I can ask for. I can't wait to be able to go in and see it all for myself as it appears to be a very friendly place to be.

During the current Covid pandemic, Dad has been looked after by Deb and her fantastic team. I know we all get a little disturbed by these events but the home has been great in keeping the residents safe and well. Words fail me at times and thank you seems such a small reward but my thanks and those
of us that love Dad is genuine. If you have a relative that needs care, have no fear this home is just what it says a "home" so rest assured your loved one will be looked after by this dedicated team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having never had any personal experience of a care home, I was anxious and worried about what this meant for my relative living in one. I should not have worried as this care home and its staff are remarkable. My mind was soon at rest. It’s plain to see that the staff care about their residents and
their relatives. They appreciate the emotional strain it puts on families and do all they can to ease any worries. The staff endeavour to give each resident what they need and clearly understand the difficulties that each person has. Regular family Zoom meetings with the manager and regularly updated emails keep everyone informed of what is happening particularly during this time with Covid19. This care home has a great team working within it and I am so glad that we chose it for our family member.

Mom has had the best care in Bracebridge Court. She has been here for 16 months and has been very happy during that time. It is a lovely place to visit, very clean, nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Bracebridge to anyone who is looking for excellent care
for their loved one.

Well what can I say about this lovely care home? Staff are absolutely wonderful! So attentive and always have time for residents and their visitors. The management always make time to answer any questions or concerns I may have. They have been extremely diligent during these difficult times. Putting
themselves at risk to care for the residents. Remaining professional and keeping up the high standards they have always had.
The food provided is excellent, especially when your mother is a picky eater. Unless it's cake if course.
I can recommend this care home to anyone, especially if you have any concerns about making the decision for a loved one. They give each and every resident the respect and dignity they deserve.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.586)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.586) out of 10 for Bracebridge Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.586 for Bracebridge Court is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.586
  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 Bracebridge Court is based on 16 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
