Bradwell Court offers residential, dementia, and pre-bookable respite care in a warm, family-like setting, thanks to a devoted team - many with over 15 years’ service. The home features 27 spacious, beautifully decorated bedrooms with walk-in ensuite bathrooms.

Its large, enclosed gardens provide a stunning space for relaxation, with flower beds, solar lighting, a water feature, and rockery. Wheelchair-friendly paths and raised planters make them accessible to all. This summer, residents enjoyed a beach-themed day with an ice cream van, games, and sandpits, and have loved growing fruit and vegetables for the chef to use in home-cooked meals.
Residents play an active role in shaping life at Bradwell Court, giving feedback on menus and activities. Many enjoy baking, gardening, and helping prepare vegetables, fostering a sense of purpose and belonging. Meals range from roast dinners to stir-fries and curries, with home-baked treats for afternoon tea.

There’s always something happening - crafts, games, pamper sessions, music and movement, live entertainment, and regular hairdressing appointments in the salon. Families can stay connected through a private Facebook group, sharing in the joy of residents’ activities.

Proud to be veteran-friendly

The team is proud to achieve the Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF) status, which aims to better support the practical, emotional and social needs of the armed forces community living in care homes. The VFF is a collaboration between Armed Forces charities Royal Star & Garter and Royal British Legion and NHS Veterans’ Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA).

Our wonderful Mum, who has Alzheimer's, moved to Bradwell Court in September 2020. She couldn't have gone there at a more difficult time during the pandemic. Bradwell Court has kept her safe and well cared for during these extremely challenging times. She is very active and as it is a small home they
are more than happy to allow her to walk around as much as she wants. She is engaged in many activities, which is so important and is often seen smiling and laughing. The staff are very caring and go that extra mile whenever we have any concerns or requests, they are a great team. We are so delighted to be able to visit Mum in her room now and take her out in the car, always being very careful and safe, and following the rules.
Bradwell Court was recommended to us by a friend whose Mum was there a couple of years ago and we will always be eternally grateful and feel lucky to have found it.

Bradwell Court provided a kind and caring home to my father for the last six months of his life. They provided a varied and interesting range of activities to keep his mind and body active, were unfailingly attentive to his desires and needs, and went above and beyond to make his last few months as
happy and comfortable as possible. The staff were all excellent and the home maintained to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend Bradwell Court.

Obviously, due to Covid, I have not been able to go in to visit my mother at Bradwell Court but I have been able to "view" her through a window. Under the circumstances, this works quite well although she's not really sure of who I am and needs to be reminded several times during the visit she seems
to enjoy it. The staff there are fantastic, even through a window you can see that they are doing a good job and work well as a team. They are always very caring and loving towards my mum and are always very caring towards me too. If there are any problems with mum they ring up to inform/discuss them with me. Bradwell Court is the best place I could have taken my mum to as I feel the manager and her staff are all doing an excellent job of protecting the residents from Covid.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Bradwell Court Residential Care HomeThank you for your kind words about our home and team they are so appreciated. We do hope we can welcome you back to Bradwell Court properly soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to thank all the staff at Bradwell Court for the care they gave to my mother in the months leading up to her death. She arrived at the care home in February aged 91, a disorientated and very depressed lady suffering from mild dementia. She had lived alone for eight years after losing my
dad and was becoming a recluse - only wanting to see very close family.
Bradwell Court turned all that around and made her about as happy as anyone could be in these times of Covid. She often told me how kind the staff were and I could see that from the way they treated her with respect, dignity and eventually love. They encouraged her to make friends and were absolutely fantastic in trying to make her life interesting and mentally stimulating - their virtual tour of the world project was inspired. Being able to talk to her or the staff 24/7 also gave me confidence that they do their best for their residents every day. I don't think we could have asked for more. Thank you again.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Bradwell Court Residential Care HomeThank you for such kind words and what a wonderful review - I am so pleased to hear how well your mother was in our care; our team will really appreciate this. Best wishes, Fae.

Resident to staff ratio is good, and the staff are very helpful. Spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities give each resident a comfortable 'private area'. The food is very good and varied, each resident can choose from the main meal menu each day. Since moving to Bradwell Court, my mother has been
happier and content.

Bradwell Court, Congleton might only be small compared with other care homes, but the staff there are amazing. Since the problems of the lockdown, they have gone that extra mile, putting residents before their own family (risk-wise). Never, ever met such dedicated staff. I see Dad through a window and
I know how much pressure they are under to help family and do their job. Can't praise them enough, as a family member, it's always nice to see familiar faces.

After my mum going into a care home then nursing home, I was very nervous about putting Dad into a home. I only wish I'd chosen Bradwell Court for Mum. The staff make the home what it is, they are like family members, not carers. I know my dad is in safe hands, he's very happy as are we.

Mum has always been well cared for and loved by all staff. Whilst in lockdown due to Covid-19, we as a family have been kept up to date on all Mum's treatments/care. We've had Facetime, window time and updates either by phone or email. All staff have gone well beyond to maintain health and safety for
Mum. We couldn't have asked for anything better than she has received. Many thanks to all.

Mum was an emergency placing due to a rapid decline in her mental state due to dementia and after one short viewing, it was the best residential home we had seen - bright, light and welcoming. Staff are friendly, capable and the rooms are large and spacious and ensuite. I couldn't ask for a better place
for Mum.

When we were looking for a place for Dad to reside, we looked at Bradwell Court amongst others. We soon got a good feel for the place. The care and professionalism of the staff were excellent. Dad loved the food and all the extra activities provided. Bingo, cake making, sing-along and many more. Beautiful
gardens which could be accessed in the summer. Sadly Dad passed away 5th February 2020. Very sad but still left all the family with very happy memories. Many thanks to all the staff.

My father has been a resident for just a few weeks, and he has been made extremely welcome. He has received excellent care. His room is excellent, and everything is very clean. The food is excellent with plenty of choices. Very pleased with how things are going. We can’t wait for the summer months because
they have a large garden where I am sure it will be lovely to sit surrounded by lovely flowers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the rooms in Bradwell Court are comfortable being generously sized, with big windows and kept really clean. The Care staff are all very friendly and supportive, they work together as a team to provide dedicated and compassionate care. My father's preferences and needs were met on a daily basis,
he was encouraged and given the freedom, to do what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it. The home-cooked food was excellent with choices offered at every meal. The home is well managed and communication is good. The activity co-ordinator and staff put on a wide range of activities each week with the occasional day trip, visiting entertainers and seasonal events. Senior care staff are quick to respond to changes in resident's health and have a good working relationship with the local primary care providers. It is a team effort to provide excellent person-centered care and I would recommend this home for residential care.

When my Mother in Law decided that she wanted to go into a care home in Congleton, my husband and I knew immediately where we would prefer her to live - Bradwell Court. We had previously visited my grandmother, who was a resident for 7 years and having recently seen other homes, there was really only
one choice.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for Bradwell Court Residential 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.997 for Bradwell Court Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.997
  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 Bradwell Court Residential Care Home is based on 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
