She was treated with dignity and respect at all times and has settled very well.
When we first looked at this care home, we were very impressed by the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff.
We chose this care home for the staff, we loved that several generations of related staff worked here.
The standards of cleanliness continue.
There is never any unpleasant smell - it smells clean.
Mum enjoys the food, looks forward to her meals.
There is always staff in attendance and they are all very diligent and caring.
I could not be more impressed with the service provided by this care home so far. Looked at several and this was the only one who showed a genuine interest in my aunty, wanting to understand her condition and her likes/dislikes.

I could not be more impressed with the service provided by this care home so far. Looked at several and this was the only one who showed a genuine interest in my aunty, wanting to understand her condition and her likes/dislikes. Yes, it's not brand new and sparkly but it has a warmth we didn't find anywhere else. My aunty is settled, was making friends with other residents in the lounge yesterday evening and seems settled already. Thank you to all the lovely staff we've encountered so far, from the lovely lady who showed us round to the manager for assessing her so quickly and to the guy who lovingly unpacked and put away all of her things last night - you have made a difficult time so much easier xx

We were relieved when Mom went into Brimington Care Home as it's only down the road from where she lived. She's still able to recognise the area when she goes out, which must be a comfort to her as she still remembers things. She's been resident there for almost a year now and seems largely...
We were relieved when Mom went into Brimington Care Home as it's only down the road from where she lived. She's still able to recognise the area when she goes out, which must be a comfort to her as she still remembers things. She's been resident there for almost a year now and seems largely settled. She's treated with great respect and is able to maintain her dignity. Despite showing some challenging behaviour at times, she is skillfully dealt with by the staff and always returns to her cheerful self with their careful handling. They do a great job overall.
It takes a certain kind of person to care for people with such sensitive needs and there are lots of lovely people at Brimington Care Home. There is always a cup of tea offered to visitors, and the meals that come out of the kitchen look beautiful, freshly-cooked and wholesome. The activities co-ordinator is always looking for new things to stimulate the residents and she is lovely with them. Various singers and artists visit the home regularly. Great job.

My mother was a resident here for over three years. I found both management and staff to be both reliable and co-operative. Care was tailored to need and administered with professionalism and with great respect for my mother's needs. Communication was prompt and very effective. The care during my mother's last weeks of life was nothing short of superb, and the support and help that was given to me I shall ever be thankful for. This care home may not have the nicely manicured gardens, but it does possess something far more important. A staff that show genuine care and concern for the residents. My sincere thanks goes to each one of them.
The home is very nice, the staff are caring and helpful, they fetch me prawns and do me a prawn cocktail at weekends because they know it's my weekend favourite. I love everyone who works at Brimington.

We are very happy with the home, we are not always able to visit as we live away and it is so reassuring knowing my auntie is safe well cared for and happy. The home has a lovely friendly atmosphere and we are always made to feel welcome and offered refreshments. A real gem of a home.

I was very happy to let my mum come here upon our first visit. There is such a light lovely friendly atmosphere compared to others we had viewed. The staff were very helpful at helping mum get a place. Although mum had a few settling in problems, they were soon helped and calmed down by staff....
I was very happy to let my mum come here upon our first visit. There is such a light lovely friendly atmosphere compared to others we had viewed. The staff were very helpful at helping mum get a place. Although mum had a few settling in problems, they were soon helped and calmed down by staff. Mum seems happier the longer she's here.
The staff are wonderful with my mother who is not easy to look after, but they give her everything she wants. The staff have just got Pearl specialised dementia services. I know they have worked very hard to get this. Manager's door is always open.
