The whole home works as a team even though who are not carers (e.g.cleaners) take great care and attention to the needs of each resident. My mother who was living alone has gaine a greater quality of life and made many friends and has had every need met. Communication with myself and family is very
good, the home keeping us up to date on her health and wellbeing. This place is a joy to visit not only to see mym but to catch up with staff who have become friends.

My mother has been a resident at Bramwell Cre HOme for approx 3 1/2 years. Sadly she passed away last week. On behalf of her family, I cannot thank the staff highly enough for the love and care they gave during her stay here. I cannot recommend the home highly enough. XX

The last couple of years there has been a considerable improvement in the atmosphere and cooperation between staff and residents. The staff have engaged with the residents on a regular basis which makes the resident feel far more settled and secure. The environment is very clean and spotless. The staff
appear far happier and content.

My Godmother decided she needed to go into a home after struggling to manage after her discharge from the hospital. She was aware of Bramwell as a friend had stayed here. Since moving into Bramwell her appetite has improved and she is looking better in herself. She has also taken an interest in her
appearance by having her hair and nails done.

My mother spent the last 2 and half years of her life at Bramwell Care home until she died a few weeks before her 93rd birthday. The care she received was exemplary and the support she and the family received from the staff there is very much appreciated.

After visiting various care homes around where we live, we decided that Bramwell care home, although a little bit further to travel to, is worth the distance to have Mother have the best service possible. Very pleased with the care that she is receiving.

Review from Geoffrey W (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am an only child. I live in Norwich. My mother, (98) first went into a residential home in January 2016; it was not the best but was the home of her choice. She fell on Boxing Day 2017 and fractured her pelvis and went into hospital for approximately 8 weeks. Whilst the hospital attended to her medical
needs (she contracted flu and a clot on her lung in there), her nursing care was very poor; long and dirty fingernails, unkempt hair and lack of oral hygiene. It was obvious nursing care was now required.


I contacted Bramwell and was immediately impressed by their professionalism. They agreed to take her in. She arrived there on 14th February and within 12 hours, my mother was a different woman; hair washed, fingernails cut and spotlessly clean, her oral hygiene attended to. Since then my wife and I have been very impressed with her standard of care. The nursing staff treat her with dignity and utmost attention. Her room and facilities are second to none. We now have peace of mind.

I am generally satisfied with the service of this care home, however, more staff would improve conditions. Laundry services could be improved. Value for money is an issue as the fees are very expensive.

My mother will have been a resident for three years early in 2018 and will be 98 years of age in January 2018.
I can honestly state that the care she has received at Bramwell is a major factor in her good general health. Bramwell Care Home also provide excellent care for her dementia and regular activities.

Bramwell has provided excellent care for my mother over the last year. She has a lovely clean and tidy room with marvellous washing/toilet facilities. The carers have treated her with compassion and dignity, and she has been extremely happy with her stay in Bramwell. Mum loved the food at Bramwell,
and really enjoyed all the activities that were laid on by the staff.
All the staff I have dealt with have been extremely helpful, and only too willing to make sure my mum had a comfortable stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother 94 has been a resident at Bramwell Care Home for just over a year now, having lived alone for over 27 years previously. Moving into Bramwell Care Home has been the best move she could have made. Having had dealings with a few other residential homes in the past my family and I are extremely
happy with my grandmother's health and wellbeing. She seems happy and content joining in with some of the many activities. The actual home itself is not showy but there is always a warm welcome from all members of staff, which when leaving a vulnerable member of your family is most reassuring.

My mother did not want respite care. Bramwell provided that care to a very high standard. The home was exceptionally clean. The staff were always very helpful and kind to my mum. Her care needs were studied and they provided the specific needs.


The whole experience was excellent for carers as

Mum has been at Bramwell for just over two months now, we were dreading how she would be after we had left her there, but the staff each and every one of them spoke to her as if she was special, she loved this, it makes her feel important. The staff definitely bring the best out of her. Mum seems so
much happier being at Bramwell than she was before, she is entertained daily with a range of activities. She loves the food! The good and kitchen staff are also delightful.

My mum moved to Bramwell Care Home in March. Staff are brilliant, it's clean, well maintained. My mum is 92 years old, she is very happy and she is being very well looked after. All the staff cannot do enough for the residents and are always at hand if residents need their assistance.
I have had no
cause for concern on how this care home is being run, by management or by the staff. I know my mum and if she wasn't happy then I wouldn't be, but she is happy and at 92 years of age, that's what you wish for with your relative.

I would just like to say how my mother-in-law is well cared for at Bramwell. The Manager arranged a wonderful party for her birthday, for all service users and family. It's so nice to be able to take my wife on holiday and not have to worry, as she knows my mother-in-law will be ok.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Bramwell Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 107 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 107 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Bramwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (1226 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 1279 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bramwell Care Home is based on 107 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 93 registered maximum number of service users is 18.6, which has been reached with 107 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
