  • Bradwell Court Residential Care Home, Congleton
With a team of devoted staff, many of whom have been there for over 15 years, Bradwell Court has a warm, family feel. Providing residential and dementia care, they also provide pre-bookable respite care breaks.

The 27 bedrooms are incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated, with walk-in ensuite bathrooms.

The large, enclosed gardens are stunning and are a wonderful place to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. This summer they have had a complete transformation and feature beautiful flower beds, solar lighting, a water feature and rockery. There are also wheelchair friendly pathways and raised planters, so they can be enjoyed by everybody.

This summer the residents and their loved ones enjoyed a beach-themed day in the gardens, with an ice cream van, beach games and sandpits.

And the residents have loved growing their own fruit and vegetables, which the chef has used in the kitchens. They have grown everything from tomatoes and runner beans, to celery, carrots and broccoli.

The team are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, who have a very active role to play in how their home is run, providing feedback on everything from the menu to the activities.

Many of the residents enjoy baking and gardening with the staff, or helping to prepare the vegetables for dinner, as many would have done in their own homes, giving them a sense of purpose and belonging.

And the chef makes delicious, home-cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings, to stir fries and curries, with home-baking for afternoon tea.

There is so much going on at Bradwell Court, from crafts and games, pamper sessions and music and movement, to live entertainment. And a hairdresser visits for regular appointments in the salon.

The home also has its own private Facebook group for family and friends, so they can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the previous review, I still can say that the care given to my dad at Bradwell Court is excellent. When I visit I am kept up to date with my dad's health and possible needs if required. I am made to feel very welcome, nothing is too much trouble for the staff when a request is asked.
Long may
it continue for particularly my dad and the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazed with the care home, the facilities are excellent along with the staff. The amount of time that the staff give to the residents is exceptional and are very compassionate. The welcome that my wife and I received on our first visit was unbelievable and has been the same every time we
have visited my mother. The difference in my mother's welfare and health has improved quite significantly since she became a resident in this care home. We have been somewhat taken aback by how all the staff go out of their way to tell us about everything that happens in the care home and have all introduced themselves to us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with my father in laws room - huge and comfortable. Always clean and tidy, with a great view of the garden.
Communal areas are well set up and the staff are attentive and take an interest in all the residents.
Safety is very high in staffs minds ( I accidentally set off a door
alarm and three or four staff were there in seconds).
Very happy and father in law is too.

Review from B K (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother transferred to Bradwell Court from another residential care home in September 2018. Since her transfer, I have noticed a great improvement in her demeanour. She is brighter, more talkative and looks very well. Although I was anxious about a transfer at her advanced age, she settled in very
quickly and I have not heard her complain about anything. The staff are kindly and encouraging. The lady who runs the activities has managed to involve mother in them and particularly in the lovely parties which are held at the home.
I am very pleased. The only criticism is the size of the public rooms which are too small for the furniture.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Bradwell Court Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It is lovely to hear about the change you have noticed in your mother; our staff do strive to enrich the lives of our residents. I hope she continues to be very happy with us, I will be sure to pass this onto the team at the home. Best wishes

Mum moved into Bradwell Court in October 2016.
Her time there was a good experience for all of us.
The carers are so very kind and the size of the bedrooms are really big.
The manager hires great staff and manages the home in a very efficient and tidy manner.
We were constantly grateful for all
the genuine care that mum was given and the thought put into making her comfortable.
We were sad that Mum had to leave for nursing care.

Extremely pleased with all aspects of care.
All staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and caring. My aunt is as comfortable and content in Bradwell Court as she could be.
We are extremely pleased that the Methodist minister recommended Bradwell Court to us, My aunt's room is large and comfortable
and reminds her of her own home.
Thank you for caring so well for my aunt.
Keep up the very good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at the above care home since March 2013. I have been totally satisfied with the quality of her care, the flat she occupies and the staff. I have always found the staff treat my mum (who has dementia) with empathy and dignity and are very kind and considerate with her. In
the event of her needing medical treatment I am kept informed at each stage of her care. In my professional career in the NHS I have had reason to visit many care homes and Bradwell Court is definitely an excellent example.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff; they are wonderful, kind and caring. They attend to individual needs, providing activities and special events to encourage the residents to become interested and involved. They are good humoured and exhibit warmth and patience to the residents. Also, as visitors, we have always felt very welcome.


Rooms

and the communal area; they are clean, airy, and spacious. The enclosed garden area is attractive and provides an easy way to enjoy the outdoors.


Meals; they are excellent in terms of quality and the options given at each meal time. The cafeteria staff also are very welcoming to visitors offering tea and biscuits and, if needed, even a meal for distant visitors!


Dad has been treated with respect and in a very compassionate way. I believe he is happy there.

Staff are all very caring and because it is a relatively small home, know all the residents and their family history and interests personally. This makes a lot of difference and means more than fancy furnishings. Rooms are large and bright.

My criteria for finding a care home for Dad was to find somewhere in which I thought I would be happy myself. After looking at many homes and being disillusioned, we finally found Bradwell Court and knew that was the place. It has everything we could wish for.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 5.000 for Bradwell Court Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 5
  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 25 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
