Brymore House Nursing Home in London is a large Edwardian detached property with its own drive and attractive enclosed gardens at the rear of the house.

Brymore houses two separate units; an Elderly Frail Nursing Unit and an Intermediate Care Unit. Both units have their own spacious lounges and sitting areas, kitchen facilities and en-suite bedrooms.

The Nursing Unit provides nursing care, residential care and palliative/continuing care for individuals who have complex medical conditions.

Brymore House staff in the Intermediate Care Unit work alongside social workers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists from Lewisham Intermediate Care Team to provide care for individuals who are requiring rehabilitation before returning to live safely at home.

Individuals have access to a varied activities programme which aims to promote social interaction in keeping with the cultural, generational, physical abilities and life experiences of each person. All activities are need-based and supervised by two activity co-ordinators.

Review from Kiran S (Niece of Resident) published on 23 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt was transferred into Brymore House residential care for rehabilitation following a long stint in hospital. The staff and entire team were so welcoming. Upon admission, her physio contacted me to explain the level of care that she would be receiving. The conversation was so thorough. I was so
happy that this professional took the time to explain to me how Brymore works and how the team can support my aunt on the day that my aunt was admitted. The level of care and support in Brymore is high. Throughout the weeks that my aunt has been a resident at Brymore, I am given regular up to date information on how she is progressing. When talking to my aunt she warmly mentions the care and support that she receives from her physio team and the staff.
I booked a visit to see my aunt in Brymore (as I hadn’t since she was discharged from hospital). My aunt looked incredible. She was alert and her mobility had improved significantly. There was such a positive difference.

I cannot put into words that would explain how I felt about my stay at Brymore House. I arrived after a 3-month stay in hospital after contacting COVID. To say I was petrified would be an understatement. The staff immediately made me feel welcome and special. I had very little feeling around my middle.
The physios explained to me what my rehab would entail, they, worked with me twice daily. After 2 weeks they took me to the gym and I continued to progress. All the staff I came in contact with were friendly. When I returned home after 4 weeks all feeling had returned to my body. I was walking with a Zimmer frame and crutches. I am now managing to walk a little unaided. Thank you Brymore House from the bottom of my heart.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent just over 3 years in Brymore House. She was always very well looked after by the nurses and carers who treated her like family. She was very happy there and joined in with all the various activities timetabled every day. We were always kept informed about her health and notified quickly
of any changes or treatments that might be needed. She had a small appetite but enjoyed the food, especially Friday's fish & chips. It was hard not to visit during pandemic but staff did their best to facetime us regularly and we did visit in the grounds when she was well enough. She always knew she was safe and among friends - people that cared for her.

My brother was in Brymore House for 1 year and in that time he had the best of care given to him. When we visited the staff always greeted us with a friendly welcome. The staff were always very kind and helpful. They always had time to talk to us about him and offered us refreshments while we were there.
If his doctor prescribed any medication for him they always rang me to keep me informed. I am very grateful for all the care and attention he was given.

Wow! What an experience. On arrival, did not know what to expect. Staff very efficient. As for the physios, their diligence towards getting me on my feet was like no other.
Everyone was excellent in their role.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely pleased with the care and support provided by staff. All have been welcoming, friendly, helpful, compassionate, respectful, caring and mindful. My father received excellent care and wanted for nothing. All aspects of his care were considered. Communication with staff was clear and open.
All aspects of his care were discussed and explained to my satisfaction. The environment was kept very clean and tidy. The most important asset at Brymore House is the staff, from receptionist, nursing staff to cleaners. They all demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and deep, caring, compassion.

My mum has been in Brymore for a few years now. The care she has received has been amazing. The chef will cook anything she would like to eat if she is off her food. The carers are friendly and helpful, in fact everyone at Brymore seems to work as a team so it makes a happy home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to give a huge thank you to the wonderful staff, carers and nurses at Brymore. My mum, Ellen Curzon, sadly passed away last week following a stroke in Lewisham hospital but she was at Brymore in June for rehab following a bad fall where she was undergoing physio to regain mobility.
Mum
was looked after so well by everyone at Brymore and she made lots of friends there, not only with the other residents but with the wonderful staff too. In particular mum loved the food which she praised every time we visited her.
My family and I visited her at Brymore on many occasions and I too found it to be a lovely friendly place for her to recuperate and gain her strength back. I too found the staff to be exceptional.
Brymore really does care about their residents and when I returned after mum passed away to pick up her belongings some of the staff were in tears.
Thank you Brymore for making mums stay there as comfortable and friendly as could possibly be.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.518)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.518) out of 10 for Brymore House Care 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.575 for Brymore House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.575
  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 4.943 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brymore House Care Home is based on 10 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.943
  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.
