Brierfield House Care Home

Mum seems to be happy here so we are happy she is being looked after well by staff. The staff are always very helpful and welcoming. They always inform us immediately if there is anything we need to know.

My sister has been in the care home for around five years, the care has always been good and the staff are very caring. In the last year, it has been very difficult as we haven't been able to visit with the complete lockdown, but when we did all the covid PPE was there for all our protection. There seems to be a lot of painting and decorating going on since the new owner took it on. I would highly recommend this home it is a happy home and residents are looked after well.

Offer good care in difficult circumstances. All carers appear kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable bout my mothers care and progress. I am very thankful to all staff for their care.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Dad enjoyed his stay.

The room is excellent. Food is excellent. Staff are excellent. My husband is settling a lot better now. Better with pads under the bed and pillow.

I would class the home as being among the best that we have come into contact with. Our need to get my wife properly looked after meant that we visited many homes to asses their standards, Brierfield was certainly up at the top of that list.

I find the staff extremely pleasant and helpful in all aspects of their work in caring for my brother. Since he has been here he has gone back to his old self that we all know and love. He has company and is a lot happier in his self.

I have nothing but the highest praise for the staff. Thank you.

My Grandad lived here for 12 months before he died. I visit residents occasionally who knew my Grandad. The atmosphere within the home is magical and overall it has pleasant surroundings. Even though my Grandad no longer lives there, the staff always make you feel welcome and I feel his spirit is still there. If I ever end up in a care home later in life, I hope it is Brierfield House Care Home.

In my opinion, things are alright when you think about what the staff have to do with the people they have to deal with.

Friday is fish day, fish fingers, fish cakes are not acceptable. The staff are very kind and it always nice and warm. Very sorry that the manager has resigned through family reasons.

It's ok living here.

My dad was in Brierfield House for the last 12 months of his life, it was a very hard decision to place him in a care home. Our first choice was not right for him so after 3 weeks we started looking around several care homes and looked at the pros and cons on 4 care homes Brierfield House came out tops. It's purpose built so very roomy and plenty of space in the day rooms for movement, quiet areas and TV area or even the conservatory. We used it for his 89th party . The staff were trained in looking after residential/ dementia. They made him feel at ease and after a few weeks he was settled. They had good family communication with any slight illnesses and excellent care commitment when it came to serious matters. District nurse/doctors always available when needed and even they have contact with the Tele nurse via IPad so no unnecessary trips to the hospital. Bedroom with their own toilet and basin. Shared showers/bath rooms which are adapted well. I would highly recommend . Good all round.

My wife has been in this care home for four and a half years and since Four Season took over, myself and my family have been very pleased with her care. All the staff rom the manager down are very caring and considerate with all the residents and relatives/visitors. The housekeeping is very good the cleanliness of the rooms, the care of clothing and the catering. I want the best care for my wife who has severe dementia and this home provides this for us both.

My mum has now been living at Brierfield House for about 3 months following a move from her own home to an almost catastrophic/disastrous admission to another local care home a couple of months earlier - and I haven't seen her as happy for a good 2/3 years! She can find nothing to suggest as an improvement and neither can I. Since being admitted, she has not needed to go to hospital and this is the longest time for many years. She is even putting on weight - which is a bit different from a woman who, prior to her admission, was all but refusing to eat and who was regularly admitted to hospital with dehydration. The staff across the board are a credit and are responsible in every respect for the fabulous and quite dramatic turn around in my mum's life.
