Braeburn Home

I've not given 5 stars for 'rooms' as mum's room was quite small but nicely decorated with a couple of windows. Also I've not given 5 stars for 'value' as I can't compare to other facilities. If you would like to discuss my/mum's experience, please don't hesitate to get in touch (I've got to put a rating for all items otherwise my review will not be accepted!)

My mother was a resident at Braeburn Home for the last four years of her life. On first viewing Braeburn, the family decided that this was the perfect place for our mother to spend her most vulnerable years. Braeburn is well appointed, clean and accessible whilst maintaining a traditional family home atmosphere. Its relatively small size adds to its appeal in this respect. Braeburn also has a good schedule of activities for residents. Over the four years, I got to know the long-standing staff who likewise got to know my mother well and always treated her with dignity and respect. I cannot fault the care and kindness she received at Braeburn and the family look back on this as a happy time for our ailing mother.

When my ninety-five year old aunt could no longer manage to live on her own at home we were recommended to consider Braeburn Home. We were so pleased that my aunt was accepted and immediately took to her new home. Braeburn has the feel and atmosphere of a peaceful family home. The care and attention of the entire team is second to none. With only eighteen residents and top quality management, nurses and carers, excellent attention to detail and a variety of activities to keep residents fulfilled and amused, Braeburn really is one big family and a home from home. My aunt spent her final twenty-one months in Braeburn and was extremely happy and fulfilled among her newfound caring friends and Braeburn family. My only hope that it is still thriving in the future when it is my turn to be cared for.

Braeburn Home is an excellent care home. I was really pleased to get my mother a place there because I know the home from having had my aunt (my mother's sister) there for nearly ten years. Everything about Braeburn is great, food, professional staff, friendliness, beautiful house with beautiful decor and furniture and good activities for those able to join in. It's a lovely place to visit, and while my mother is extremely frail, she has even got better while in Braeburn, sleeping at night, calm during the day, now on fewer drugs, and looking more rested.

My sister has been resident at Braeburn Home for over three years and has received excellent care. I live at a distance so visits are infrequent, but I have always found the staff to be considerate and caring towards her. It is comforting to be assured of her well being there.
