The Brambles has provided mum with excellent care. Mum has settled in really well, entirely due to the caring environment and staff who are are extremely kind and thoughtful providing regular updates on how she is doing. The manager is kind and thoughtful and very approachable with it being clear that
the best interests of residents is paramount. The finance staff are very approachable and answer any questions I may have. Certainly the Brambles was the best decision taken regarding the care of mum.

My wife has been in The Brambles for 18 Months, in that time we have experienced a very high level of Care, Attention, Friendship from the Management, Carers, Admin staff and Chef
The meals and snacks provided have been excellent. Doctors visit on a Tuesday and it's easy to make an appointment to discuss
my wife's state of Health and Medication and any concerns I have.
We have found any questions to Management are promptly answered and help given to complete forms etc.
The Carers are always on duty in the Lounge and Dining room and any one of them can answer questions relating to my wife.
The Brambles is a Safe and Secure home within a large countryside plot of land with parking.
In the time we have been visiting we have become to treat it as an extension to our home.
We are so pleased we chose The Brambles to look after my wife who has Mixed Dementia.

I visit my wife each day. Fortunately she is happy at The Brambles and enjoys all her meals, always home-made food. Her medication is well taken care of and staff are vigilant in all medical care aspects (she was recently taken to hospital after a lump was detected in her breast, fortunately just a
cyst which was easily drained). She cannot walk so is wheel-chair bound, but on fine days I take her out into the garden, or push her back to visit our house nearby or to a local park. Today a small group of us (4 residents, 3 in wheelchairs, plus staff and myself) visited a nearby village tea shop obviously beneficial for and enjoyed by all. Other activities and entertainments are also arranged by activities staff.

I don't often write reviews, this being the exception. Brambles was always welcoming. Staff very caring, considerate and treated Mum with respect and dignity. It is a clean home and does not have that 'old person's home' aroma. The food was well-prepared, plentiful and wholesome. We were kept up to
date with Mum's condition on a regular basis and safeguarding was paramount. Her room was homely with its own ensuite and always tidy. We would not hesitate to recommend The Brambles Care Home.

It's wonderful to know her room felt homely and was kept just how she liked it.Your recommendation is deeply valued, and we wish you and your family all the very best.Warm regards,The Brambles Care Home Team

I found the care home clean, and the staff were courteous, engaging and ready to support. From the door, they directed me to an appropriate place to sit and we discussed extensively about the residents and the needs, and this gave me ample information already. They supplied all the administrative and
clinical information about the resident, and the medications chart. The resident appeared well looked after, and reflected this in my assessment also. That was helpful and the resident also happily contributed to this in my questioning. I see that the home is well-staffed and well-managed and that offers quality support in the manner of approach and this is well suitable for the resident's healthy living.
Reply from Muneer Nazarudeen, Home Manager at The Brambles Rest HomeThank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the home clean and the staff engaging and supportive.

My father lived in The Brambles Rest Home for eleven months and was happy and settled there. I appreciated the fact that you could visit the home at any time you wanted and this also gave me confidence in how the residents were being treated, as staff couldn't 'put on a show' for visitors. I feel there
has been an improvement in the running of the home since a change of management a few months ago, the young deputy manager being particularly impressive. When Dad became critically ill, they looked after him so well and supported me during Dad's end-of-life process. In the early months of Dad's stay, I had a few issues but the management listened to my concerns and for the most part, they were resolved. The Brambles is not the swishest of care homes but the staff are caring and respectful and that is the most important criteria for me. Thank you to all involved in Dad's care, your kindness, patience and respectful treatment of him was a great comfort to me. Keep up the good work!
Reply from Samantha Pilkington, RM at The Brambles Rest HomeThank you for taking the time to share your experience regarding your father's stay at The Brambles Rest Home. We are deeply touched by your kind words and grateful for the trust you placed in us to care for your father.
It is heartening to hear that you found comfort in our open visitation policy and that our staff's dedication and respect made a significant impact during your father's time with us. Your recognition of the improvements following the change in management, especially the contributions of our deputy manager, is greatly appreciated. We strive to continually enhance our services and create a warm, welcoming environment for both residents and their families.

I can't thank the staff at The Brambles Rest Home enough, they went above and beyond to look after my mum. My mum went to Brambles in January 2023 with dementia, she was 90, from the first day she went in I knew I had no worries about her care, the staff treated her with dignity and respect, the staff
always informed me if there was any change in Mum. Mum had her 91st birthday, the staff were amazing, a lovely cake was made for Mum with everyone singing Happy Birthday, Mum loved it. Mum became ill in November and had to go hospital, I was told she only had a few days, The Brambles let me take Mum back to the home where I spent five days with Mum before she passed away. The staff were amazing and not only looked after Mum but also helped me get through the last few days with Mum, I can't thank you enough for what you did for my mum.

From the start of the process of finding a care home for my mother-in-law, The Brambles Rest Home were excellent. From ringing to enquire about a vacancy to going to have a tour around the home, they were so welcoming and explained in detail their services.
The management came to our home to assess
Mum's capabilities at this stage of her dementia, they were with us for about an hour going through in detail all the requirements for the stay at The Brambles Rest Home - very professional with that friendly touch.
Mum moved in two days later, into a lovely en-suite room with a beautiful garden view. The team at The Brambles were both warm and welcoming. Also, what impressed me, they were all very smart in their uniforms.
Overall, I highly recommend The Brambles Rest Home at New Longton

The Brambles is situated in a quiet, rural location in pleasant grounds. Access and parking is good. It is a fairly modern home with purpose-designed facilities. The management and staff are kind, caring people who take good care of the residents in a dignified and respectful way. Visitors/relatives

    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 = 3.85
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
