Review from Paul D (Son of Resident) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff and management are great, they are always helpful and keep me informed of my mother's conditions. The care that they give my mother is extremely good. Management has always informed me and worked with me to ensure my mother gets the best care available at all times.

Review from Ellen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care provided to my mother was very good, any problems got sorted out quickly the staff, in general, acted in a professional manner.
The food was good and varied so I would recommend the Brambles.
The downside to this experience was recovering monies owed back to us after five phone calls and
a letter of intent I have still not received payment after almost 3 months. This leaves a sour taste after the previous pleasant experience especially when you are dealing with a bereavement.

Review from Fiona M (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who was in her 90's, was a resident for 2/3 years. Being rather quiet and independent she preferred going to her room rather than "joining in" so having her own space was ideal. She also received newspapers which were delivered by the local newsagent.
Since she developed Alzheimer's she
tended to forget things and the manager used to tell us she often enjoyed more than one breakfast - having forgotten she'd already eaten two or three.
We were sad when she suddenly went downhill before Xmas but had no hesitation in requesting that she remained at the Brambles.
We felt quite certain that spending her final days there was preferable to a hospital ward.
She was given excellent attention by staff during End of Life, and then Palliative Care.
The manager supported us all the way through the process, and the local GP and district nurse were frequent visitors to my mother.
We are grateful to all. Even the cleaning lady cheered us daily.
Thank you to everyone, and especially the manager.

Review from Pauline A (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother who is 97, has been a resident for 15 months. She was very poorly on admission but with prompt attention by the manager and GP's she regained her former health and was able to join other residents in the lounge and for meals.
She is always treated with dignity and is clean and well dressed.
The staff are always attentive to her needs and are very kind and caring.
There are a few activities at the home and I know the home is trying to rectify this and have more permanent activities in place.
But I do notice the difference in residents when their minds are stimulated with song and crafts etc.

The Brambles have given my aunt a safe environment to live in and the care she has received has been superb. We are always treated with a friendly smile when we ring the door bell and nothing is too much trouble for anyone.

Review from Elizabeth L (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is well run and we are confident that mother is safe and well cared for. Staff are well motivated and friendly and well aware of the needs of residents. The building is well maintained and welcoming.
Contact with local GP's is good. Necessary treatment happens very quickly compared to trying
to get a visit at home.
We have been promptly contacted about important issues - usually with steps already taken to resolve them, all of which have worked.

The staff at the Brambles are very welcoming, professional and give you complete peace of mind. My father-in-law spent a week on respite care and he enjoyed his stay which was his first experience of a care home. I highly recommend The Brambles Rest Home, lovely home and in a beautiful setting.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for The Brambles Rest Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.633 for The Brambles Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.633
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Brambles Rest Home is based on 14 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 = 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.
