If you are looking for a care home for your loved one then Bracebridge Court is a perfect choice. My mother-in-law spent over 2 years at Bracebridge Court but sadly passed away just before Christmas, and the love and care she received were second to none. The staff are excellent, always friendly, caring
and supportive. The home is spotlessly clean at all times and the food is beautifully prepared and served to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Bracebridge Court to anyone, it is outstanding.

My mother is a resident at Bracebridge Court. Yesterday she was visited by four generations of her family. The most important one who she was yet to meet was her Great Great Grand Daughter. The family came just before lunch. They were made very welcome and the three care staff on duty offered a corner
of the lounge area for the family and my mother to sit in the comfort of her own armchair to cuddle this precious baby. My mother was offered to eat her lunch at a small table next to her which enabled her not to miss out on this special visit. We all felt this was just like a home should be. Thank you to ALL the staff.

Since August 2015 my nan has been a resident at Bracebridge Court and my experiences have been excellent, the love, care and support that my nan received has been outstanding.
The staff are so warm, friendly and welcoming and it couldn't have been such a lovely home for my nan to spend her final years.

My experience of Bracebridge Court has always been a welcoming one. Since August 2015 when my nan became resident, I have always been impressed with the level of care she received. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff have always been friendly and approachable. Bracebridge Court really did provide
a caring home for nan as she neared the end of her life.
Thank you for all you have done!

Bracebridge Court was a real gift to us after the two years my mother spent in a previous care home. Sadly my mother passed away on December 2017 after spending two years in this wonderful place.
The manager and her staff are all outstanding. The welcome, friendliness and the happy atmosphere is always
there. The home is always spotlessly clean and the food is superb and there is always tea and coffee available at all times. Most of all the love and care they have for their residents is clearly evident and the wonderful support they give to the families. Highly recommended.

My Friend and neighbour for 40 years has lived at Bracebridge Court for the last year and I can only describe it as excellent. The girls are amazing and I know my friend is very happy with the care they give. The home is beautiful and they always make us feel very welcome. The manager and her team do
a great job. If we have a query they will always try to sort.

Every time I go to visit my aunt (which is quite often) they're always doing some activity which is stimulating to the residents. The rooms are immaculate and all the carers are friendly to residents and those who visit.
First class care home.

Every aspect of our mother's six months at Bracebridge Court has been far superior to that which we could have imagined or hoped for. Every single member of staff we have encountered has gone way beyond their call of duty to ensure that our mother was treated with love and kindness. Furthermore, and
very importantly, the way in which they have dealt with and interacted with us on our visits has been efficient and heartwarming.

My brother moved into Bracebridge last month and what has been a difficult time leading up to has now resulted in myself and my wife having peace of mind that he is safe and well looked after.
The love and family feel of this home from the minute you are greeted at the door is wonderful. The rooms
and gardens are kept immaculate. The staff are a very friendly bunch. We recently had lunch in the café at the home and it tasted and looked lovely. The manager is very helpful and always available to chat to and has helped to reassure us that we made the right decision in choosing Bracebridge.

My mum moved in a few months ago and she has settled well. The staff genuinely care!


Her room is lovely and kept nice and clean.


The home has a lovely feel and is always lively.


Mum loves the chickens and can hear them clucking from her room. Mum has put weight on and I think this is due

to the lovely cake!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) out of 10 for Bracebridge Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.547 for Bracebridge Court is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.547

  • b) 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 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
