Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for six and a half years and has been treated with dignity and compassion over the years.
I'll also mention the wonderful entertainment programme when she is well enough to participate, this made such a difference to her life. Many outings and social events.

Fantastic care home. Not only give great care to my mum but if any member of staff sees a visitor in distress they are always there to offer support. Always feel very welcome any time of the day or night I visit. I have no worries leaving my dear mum in the care of the manager and her care team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bryony Park have been looking after my mother for almost 12 months. The standard of care has been exemplary and far exceeds the care has been exemplary and far exceeds the care she received at her previous care home. The accommodation is meticulously clean. The staff are responsive at all times. They
encourage carers to contribute to the overall well-being of inmates.


I am happy that my mother has found a place at Bryony Park.

Bryony Park provides a clean, safe and caring environment for my mother and the other residents. All of the staff are both professional and approachable, and provide a high standard of care. The home is also decorated and maintained to a very high standard. My mother has been a resident here for a number
of years and we have never had cause to regret our choice of care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for over 6months and feels this is a second home. I feel I can trust my mother to them entirely and they keep me informed of all details. I feel this has removed the stress levels I used to have over her care.


I decided on this home as my mother in law resided here

2 years ago, the standard has remained high on a consistent basis and other than meal times I have access all day, at any time to suit family or work patterns.

I have only good things to say about Bryony Park. The rooms and facilities are first class. The staff are excellent, friendly and caring not only to the residents but to families and friends.


There has been not one minute of the last one and half years my mam has been a resident we have had any concerns.


Thank

you all so very much to all the staff.

Review from George W (Husband of Resident) published on 14 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my wife became a resident, I certainly have no need to complain in any way with regard to her care. She certainly seems to be happy here and is treated with great respect by all concerned. Staff cannot do sufficient for my wife and I certainly do not need to worry about any care she receives here.
The home is always clean and tidy and everyone concerned here do their tasks in a very professional manner. It is nice to know that my wife is in 'safe hands'.

My father has been a resident at Bryony Park for about 18 months and I've been very impressed with the standard of care he has received. All of the staff are very friendly and professional. Activities are organised on a regular basis for the residents to enjoy as well as trips outside in the minibus.
The cleanliness of the building is exceptional and my father loves the food. Overall, I have no complaints at all and would highly recommend this nursing home.

My wife was moved into Bryony Park Nursing Home to receive palliative care. Since moving to Bryony Park the level of care and support has been outstanding. The staff are extremely professional and supportive. My wife is now in a much more comfortable environment.

Review from David H (Husband of Resident) published on 6 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been attending Bryony Park Nursing Home for more than 2.5years now and I cannot praise the facility too much.
The level of care, compassion and empathy towards the clients and families is both remarkable and brilliant.
Having been in the position of having, out of necessity, to place
elderly family members in numerous care homes in the area, I can categorically state that this is the best home by far, that I have seen.
The professional level of management, administration, nursing, care, activity facilities, cleaning and quality of food provision is exceptional and it is little wonder that this is a gold star rated facility.
It is my considered opinion that this home should be used as the standard to set for other homes in the area and possibly a training base for staff from other homes to improve their skills, although I'm not sure if this would possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother fell in love with this nursing home as soon as she walked through the front door and was greeted by the senior nurse and manager. She felt it was the perfect place to spend her last days it was comforting to know she was in a loving environment as we live overseas, we have since returned to
spend more time and are impressed each day with the carers and nurses attitude towards the residents.
I couldn't ask for a better result thanks to CQC quality audits which we used to pick this home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Bryony Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.874 for Bryony Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.874
  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 Bryony Park Nursing Home is based on 29 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
