Review from Glenn A (Brother of Resident) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother recently went into Braywood and although this was a shock to me and my family, the homes management and staff were exceptionally caring and informative. Upon entering, we felt completely at ease and welcomed with the warmth of a family member or long-lost friend. My brother who was very unsettled in hospital is now at Braywood and is thriving and doing better than ever. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

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

Review from K J (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum was in a short stay, two-week respite at Braywood. Her first time in a care home. She loved every minute of it, praising all the staff and how she was looked after by them. She loved the food and activities, especially the exercise class! She's now looking forward to going back, hopefully in the next six months. A big thank you to everyone at Braywood.

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

Thank you so much for your kind words. We always strive to give all our residents the very best experience and care, when in our home. It is so humbling that Mum is looking forward to returning to Braywood Gardens in the future and we graciously thank you for being a part of the Braywood family.

Review from Sharon B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum moved into Braywood Gardens a couple of months ago and is very content here. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't recognize anyone, but we're happy that she's being well looked after by the warm and friendly staff. She has a large, beautiful room, which is kept spotlessly clean and plenty of company, so she's never lonely. As the home is quite spacious, she enjoys walking around chatting to the staff and other residents, plus taking part in the activities. The family also enjoy seeing what she's been up to on their social media page. Would highly recommend as we now have peace of mind that Mum's safe and being well cared for by an excellent team of well-trained staff.

During the time mum spent at Braywood we found the staff to be very attentive and always approachable. The rooms are well equipped and cleaned daily. The facilities within the home are very good and mum was always asked to join in on the activities. We would definitely recommend Braywood Gardens to others.

Review from Moira C (Friend of Resident) published on 20 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been visiting my lifelong friend in Braywood for a few years now. Whilst she doesn't always remember me, the staff support me to maintain my friendship and are always on hand when I feel overwhelmed. The management is so welcoming as well as the staff, and the residents always look so happy and jolly to be there. It's always a pleasure to visit, and I often don't get there as often as I like, but I am always welcomed when I go.

Reply from Lydia Morris, Customer Relationship Manager at Braywood Gardens Care Home

Thank you for your review. It's so lovely to hear that you feel welcomed at Braywood Gardens and you feel supported to maintain that precious relationship with your friend.
