Review from Karen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This purpose built family run business has been my Mum's home for the past 3 years. Everywhere is immaculately clean and all the staff are extremely friendly and very caring towards my Mum. Rooms are well designed and very light together with comfortable lounges and dining rooms. The regular hairdresser
is also a bonus. I feel Mum is being very well looked after and is happy and settled. Meals are good and the laundry is carried out very professionally. Regular entertainment for the residents is also very welcome.
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you Karen, your kind words are very much appreciated.

Review from D S (Son of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been a resident of Briadene Care Home since June 2023, in that time I haven't had any issues with her care whatsoever, despite her deteriorating Vascular Dementia condition the staff and management have taken the utmost care of mum and kept me informed of every detail of any change in her
condition and wellbeing.


Before we chose Briadene as a care home residence for my mum we viewed and inspected every care facility in the Scarborough Filey and Bridlington area and it immediately struck us that Briadene was an immaculately clean care home with kind, considerate and professional care staff while mum stayed as a respite residence as a trail for me to assess how she would be looked after and her own reaction to moving from her home into care, this was a positive period for mums welfare and I took the decision to place mum in Briadene's full time care.


After 2 years 5 months of residence I could not wish for a better care home for my mum.

Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you D, all our lovely staff who look after your Mum really appreciate your kind words.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Briar Dene were so friendly, caring, and attentive with my Grandma. She was always treated with kindness and respect, which meant a lot to us. The home itself was modern, spotless, and felt more like a luxury residence than a typical care home. We're incredibly grateful for the comfort
and care she received and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for exceptional support for a loved one.
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you for your lovely review Abbie - it is much appreciated by everyone at Briar Dene.

Review from Carole R (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was forced to move my mother from her home in Stalybridge to Briar Dene just under four years ago, when she was no longer able to care for herself. She was anxious, almost frightened by the prospect, but any fears she had were soon seen to be unfounded. The care and attention she received from all
the staff, throughout her near four year residency was outstanding. Carers became friends, and her quality of life was improved to a degree that I could never have foreseen. The purpose built facilities are of such a high standard that I often joked about booking a two week stay there myself. It is a five star organisation in every respect.
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you Carole for such a lovely review.

My mum, who has dementia, recently stayed at the Briar Dene for respite care. The staff were lovely and very caring. The whole place was spotlessly clean. I believe they have two activities a day, which mum enjoyed. Even the tea-lady gave her a big hug when we left! Many thanks to all the lovely staff!
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure looking after your Mum and we are glad that she enjoyed her stay with us.

Review from Janette R (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 9 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My step mum lived at Briar Dene for over 5 years, throughout this time, the family owners & staff have been exceptional looking after her, caring, empathetic, always approachable & available, working in the residents' best interests at all times.
It was always a welcoming happy environment, beautifully
clean, really good meals. It is a bright & attractive property, purpose built, in fact home from home, if not better.
I really can't praise this business enough & I am incredibly thankful to them.
When my step mum was nearing her last days just before Christmas last year, due to old age, the carers overwhelmed me with their kindness & expertise in looking after her & keeping her comfortable, day staff & night staff, they were all absolutely marvellous.
I feel Briar Dene is a unique beautiful residential care home, this from what I have witnessed over many years & most importantly what my step mum felt too.
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you for your kind words Janette - we are fortunate to have a great team of staff here and your words will mean a lot to them.

Review from Lynne F (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been a resident in Briar Dene Residential Care Home for the last fourteen months and I have been so happy with the care she has received. During that time the staff and management team have been absolutely amazing. No request has ever been met with a negative response but only with enthusiasm
and a can-do attitude. Everyone is friendly and the environment is calm and welcoming on every occasion I have telephoned, contacted or visited. My mum has been treated always with respect and love and for this, I am so grateful. Keep up the good work. Just a further note, my mum thinks the meals are fabulous!
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeThank you for your kind words, which I will relay to all our staff.

Review from M P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The home is not adequate for people with dementia or poor mobility as residents are often left unattended in the lounge and dining room. Mum fell unwitnessed by any careworker whilst in the dining room and sustained life-changing injuries after only 10 days in their care. I arrived one day and the staff
did not even know where Mum was! I found her in the toilet in the dark on her own. I had to clean her up and asked that the staff shower her that evening. It did not happen until the next day. Although the home is new and looks good the service it offers does not match up with hardly any activities for residents. Also, the only home I have come across (and having volunteered with an Alzheimer's charity for years I have seen many) that does not allow residents' or visitors' dogs into their private rooms.
Reply from Mark Kelly, Manager at Briar Dene Residential Care HomeWe are sorry that your Mother had a fall, however, this was an unfortunate accident witnessed by a member of staff just metres away who was unable to prevent this happening. As you are aware from the falls that your Mother had whilst in your care, the risk of a fall can be minimised but sadly not eliminated.

Unfortunately, it was clear from day one of your Mother arriving into our residential care home that you were aggrieved at the fact that your siblings had chosen a care home in closer proximity to them than you. Clearly, this vitriol has resulted in you making comments which are quite simply false and defamatory.

Sadly, you have decided to tarnish the good name of a care home that has provided care to the highest standards for nearly 40 years.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.108)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.108) out of 10 for Briar Dene 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.952 for Briar Dene Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Briar Dene Residential Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.556
  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.
