Review from Linda C (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Dad had emergency respite for twelve days. He's had this before and hated the home. This time, he loved it! Says it's a 'beautiful place' with 'lovely staff' and food is great. This is amazing coming from my dad.

Where I have given satisfactory ratings, this is down to lack of knowledge really.

Reply from Leanne Armstrong, Home Manager at Braywood Gardens Care Home

This is wonderful. Thank you for the kind words of our home. I am so happy that he had a very good and wonderful experience for his time spent in the home.

Review from D C (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was in the home for six weeks respite care, after a fall and subsequent stay in hospital. On admittance to the home, she was weak and confused. Due to the care and encouragement of the staff, as well as the excellent food and medical supervision, Mum was able to gradually regain her strength and mobility. The small unit enabled her to receive individual attention, and the kindness of the staff played a big part in bringing her back to life.

Reply from Leanne Armstrong, Home Manager at Braywood Gardens Care Home

Thank you for the kind words and we wish your mum the very best. We truly are dedicated to our residents and helping them through all tough times.

Review from Patricia B (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This care home from walking in the front door for our first walk-around visit, I knew straight away the homely feel this care home gives to everyone. My mother has been a resident here since last August after two falls. The care she has received is absolutely outstanding; she looks like a totally different person from when she arrived. The nursing care and the aid she has received to help and support her medical conditions are amazing - they go above and beyond.
The daily entertainment encourages all to attend and socialises everyone. Weekly trips out and about. There is always something to do - baking and crafting. These ladies are absolutely angels, and they love their jobs and the environment they work in. A true breath of fresh air. When we walk to the cafe, everyone asks how my mum is - their manner is so naturally friendly.

The endless support the staff and manager have shown us with support and guidance has been incredible, helping us every step of the journey. As a family, we can’t thank them enough.

Reply from Leanne Armstrong, Home Manager at Braywood Gardens Care Home

This is an absolutely beautiful review. We are so proud to have been a part of your mum's recovery and being well. Many thanks for your trust, support and being wonderful.

Review from Lorraine C (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum moved here from a care home where we had raised numerous concerns over the years (some more serious than others). Yes, there are issues in most care homes, and Braywood is no exception, but the manager (who has an open-door policy) and her staff will always listen. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and treat Mum with dignity and respect. She seems so much happier and healthier since moving here.

Have received excellent service from the care home from the initial contact with the home to move-in day. The staff have been friendly, happy and professional throughout. They have provided a perfect room for my mum, taking into account her needs. My mum seems settled in her new home, and the carers attending to my mum are lovely with her.

Overall Experience

My friend has recently become a resident at Braywood Gardens Care Home and is very happy to be there. She tells me all the staff and residents are friendly, and show respect and great care for each other. I have witnessed this on my visits to my friend. The rooms are comfortable clean and spacious. The furnishings are all attractive and the whole place seems clean, tidy and attractive I have only seen the gardens through the windows but they look attractive. I am so grateful to see my friend so happy. Also, she tells me the food is good and she enjoys the activities.

Review from Helen G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has resided at Braywood for over 6 years now, I know the team really well and to be honest it’s my second home as I visit mum most days. Mum is 89, frail but with, and I am blessed, a strong will. Over the past couple of weeks, things have been tough and we thought it was Mum's time. Again Mum has pulled through, as best she can, but without the support of the care home team, I genuinely believe we would not be where we are today. They are a special team and I give them the utmost respect, grateful thanks to all, today and the days going forward.

We had no idea what care would be like for our dad. It was so comforting from the start of the whole process. The manager was very attentive, patient and kind and made us feel at ease. The staff were so kind and welcoming offering drinks as if they had known us for years. Dad settled immediately and watching him now smile, makes us happy to know he is cared for.

We booked a short stay for my mother in December and as a family, we are all in agreement that should and when, the time comes, Braywood Gardens will be our first choice for our mother's permanent home. The staff, from the front of house, to carers and cleaners, were all personable and friendly. Our mother was very happy when we picked her up and said that she would like to stay again.

Review from S P (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandmother was recently admitted into Braywood as an urgent placement. She was suffering at home without 24/7 care. We honestly felt that we were going to lose her. The team at Braywood, from management to cleaners have dedicated so much time to her that she is finally feeling a little more like herself. They truly are angels and are so welcoming and helpful. I can't thank you all enough for helping my grandmother. The activities team spend 1-1 time with residents and are so gentle with them all. It's a magical place where everyone cares.

What a lovely and calm environment. Emergency care for my dear friend. As this was a big shock to us all, we can honestly say this was the best decision made. The food they provide is excellent. Lots of choices throughout the week. Great activities happening all the time around the home. Staff are easy to approach. Management, friendly and always there if I need to query anything. Lovely reception team. Always smiling. Great work all round. Thank you, Braywood Gardens.

My wife has been at Braywood Gardens for around six months. In this time she has been looked after and loved by the staff and management and I have even had the privilege of meeting the owner. It is well run and everyone is a friend, not just a visitor. I highly recommend this home if you're looking for that family feel.
