from the first time we walked through the door with my Father, we have been overwhelmed by the care and friendliness shown by every single staff member at Brimington Care Home, not only for my Dad but also for my Mum as well. As a family, we love visiting Dad. There is space to socialise with a beautiful garden at the back which will be lovely to sit out in on warmer days.

Mum came into Brimington Care Home from the hospital after being treated for fractured vertebrae in her back. She was struggling to move and walk the day she arrived. By the end of the three weeks respite, she was almost back to her normal self, walking alone and toileting independently. This is all thanks to the kind, attentive staff at Brimington Care Home. It has a friendly, clean, bright atmosphere resembling a homely home rather than a care home. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and I want to thank them all for giving mum the confidence to be herself. Mum enjoyed her time here but is happy to be back home.

In my experience, the staff have been absolutely brilliant with my Mum. The care and compassion they show towards my Mum means that although I worry about her, I know full well that she is in the best possible place she could be which is a great relief to us all.

Their professionalism and caring approach, was all the more apparent when my dad recently passed away. I could not have wished for better support, both for my dad and myself, they advised me, supported me and held me together through some heart-aching times - I didn't feel supported by "staff" but by friends.
It saddened me that my dad had so little family to attend his funeral but on the day, seeing so many of the carers present, I realised they had become part of his family too and they had paid the greatest tribute possible to him by being there and caring. Thank you.

We understand how upsetting it must have been, and are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectation and treated your dad with dignity and the compassion he deserved during his time at our home. We hope that his time at Brimington did see some friendships flourish with both the Care team and residents. Thank you again Margaret and if there is anything more we can do please do not hesitate to reach out.

Cosy bedrooms. On first arrival at the home, the staff were extremely efficient and made things personal for our mum and took care in labelling clothes and welcoming us and mum. The staff always make us welcome and spend lots of time with the residents. Previously in 2014, we have had another family member here and felt comfortable visiting so this was an obvious choice.
Thank you for your feedback following your recent experience at our home. We are happy to learn it has been a positive one. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing. Have a wonderful day.
The staff from kitchen, cleaners, carers, reception and management are extremely pleasant, helpful and appear happy in their jobs.

My mum seems to have come out of her shell and is talking and smiling once again.
It was a difficult decision for our family to make but we think how mum is now, it was the right decision.
She now has a quality of life and not just an existence.

Our residents’ wellbeing is our main priority and it is great to hear that you were so pleased with the quality of our care. We are delighted that your mum has become part of the family here at our home and look to make everyday just as special as the next.
We have been very pleased with the standard of care given to Mum. She always looks clean and tidy, as does her room. Mum appears mostly happy and interacts well with staff, who always appear very caring. The home has a very homely atmosphere and is welcoming to visitors. Well done.

A lot of the staff we know personally from when our daughter worked there. If any problems occur, the staff approach the relatives and discuss them. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

Mum and Dad came to this home in 2016. Dad passed away in January 2018. I could not be more happy with the care they receive. It is first class. When I am away, I don't have to worry. When I visit I feel welcome. If anybody wants to contact me, do not hesitate.

My father moved to Brimington Care Home in March 2018. All the staff have made him and all the family feel at home and he settled very quickly. They always notify me if they have any concerns regarding his health and do not hesitate to contact the doctors when required. All visitors are made welcome and the home is always vibrant. The care staff are always in the day rooms talking and interacting with residents. They treat them all with dignity and respect. They are always eager to learn more about the personal life, their likes and dislikes so they can provide person-centred care. The management team and all the staff are very helpful and approachable.

After losing my Father I was at my wit's end. The only person I could think of contact was the manager. The help and advice I was given was fantastic and helped me in every way possible. Helping my Mum to this fab home and settled her in and the care she receives is second to none.

Dad was very unsettled when he first arrived but the staff were very good in making him feel settled.
The home itself is clean. Activities are arranged and dad seems to be eating well which he wasn't when he was at home.

As a family, the decision to place Mum in residential care was one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make, but from the moment my brother and I stepped through the door we knew this was the right place for her. Each member of staff greeted us with a warm welcome. It is such a friendly, welcoming place and all staff and management are fantastic. They sensitively relate to mums needs with respect and are skilled at maximising her independence. All staff and management show genuine care and concern for all of the residents. They are always approachable and nothing ever appears to be too much trouble for them. The daily activities are great as are the trips out on the minibus. Mum looks well, is happy and I know that she is in safe hands, being cared for in such an amazing, supportive and stimulating environment.
