We were very pleased to find Brimington for my aunt last year. We only visited 2 care homes but after seeing Brimington we decided it would be the one. The staff always know what is going on with her, they seem to be very caring and have endless patience. There are lots of activities which keep them busy. I really like the video clips on social media. Would highly recommend.

My Dad spent the last 12 months+ at Brimington carehome can i say the careres were brilliant with him and us during his final hours the care was great over the last 12 months would 100% recommend if your looking for a place for your loved ones .However what we feel was very poor was the financial side as we found fees not being taken on time resulting in 2 months at once being taken at 1 time (£9000) also when my dad passed away still charged for that day and also 3 days after even though we emptied his room the day after at £150 per day which i thought was very heartless bearing in mind over the last 12 months we had paid over £55000 for his care

The meals are very appetizing and there is a good variety of food daily.
Residents are well entertained and motivated with daily activities and craft making, singing mornings and visits out.
The care home is excellent in every way and I can rest assured my mum is well looked after, treated with dignity, safe and most of all happy in her new home.
I would definitely recommend this care home.

My mother-in-law has always been treated with respect and has been cared for really well. Medical care has also been really good. The staff are hard-working and always do their best to make the residents feel at home and their visitors welcome.

Reputation says a lot when it comes to caring for your parents, and whilst there’s not much positivity to be said about other care homes in the area, Brimington Care Home shines brightly in comparison.

I find the staff are always very caring and helpful. If I ever ask for help while I’m there visiting, they are always happy to oblige. My parents are as happy as can be under the circumstances of their condition, they are loved and cared for. My parents always smile at the carers, they wouldn’t do that if they weren’t happy. The care home always smells nice and clean, which is very important to me, the bedroom/bedding is always clean.

Where do we start with the journey with Brimington Care Centre? We cannot thank the manager enough for the care, compassion and knowledge she gave to the two residents in their hours of need. It was without a doubt priceless. The home, the staff and the love and dignity that they provided in one resident's last days with us were special. They are angels without wings on earth. These ladies were given the best care, the most amazing love and a whole new outlook towards the inevitable. The other resident has decided to stay and make the care home her home after losing her life-long best friend/sister and soul life traveller. The carers, manager, the cook, the cleaners, the ever-extended family members of residents, they are now her new home. The resident thanks you all from the bottom of her heart for making the worst day of her life a bearable situation, she wants to let you all know she’s full of such gratefulness to you all. It’s not your job, it’s your life! Thank you.
Thank you so much for these wonderful comments. It really was an honour to be able to support the ladies. I will ensure I pass this on to the team. Once again, thank you so much.
