The care provided has been of a good standard and the food makes Dad very happy. The communal areas could do with sprucing up and the garden requires a complete overhaul to make it an accessible pleasant space. All the staff are friendly and helpful do their very best. However, there does seen to be
an issue with their number.

My husband arrived in April 2025 ( permanent) he has settled very well, the staff are (in the most) excellent. The actual home could do with a make over as it is extremely shabby. But as I say he has settled and has accepted that he is a permanent resident. 10/10 to all the staff - you do such a
fantastic job.

My mother came to the home after a stay in hospital and was very weak. The improvement in her condition over 5 week period was impressive due to the care, kindness and good food provided. My mum felt treatment like being in five star hotel.

A warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere and environment, Staff pleasant, caring and friendly, good, spacious surroundings. Ideal for rehabilitation and walking. Far too many ridiculous Bupa policies. In house doctor prescribes resident general creams to be used as and when daily, Bupa however lock them
into a cupboard without providing mentally capable resident with a key, so unable to use as prescribed. Staff have something better to do than run up and down to individual cupboards all hours of the day and night. Far too much medical waste regarding above mentioned creams which are discarded despite clear manufactures guidelines and instructions. and far to much.

A lovely spacious building with very large rooms. A good level of activities during the day and a lovely variety of meals each week catering for all.
The staff, though possibly a few too few, are friendly, helpful and personable to residents and family members alike.
So far our stay has been very

Possibly understaffed in some areas. Not sure if this is down to manager or management. Both reception

Mum was returned to Brunswick Court Care Home for her final weeks. The team were truly amazing, all the staff popping in to see Mum when she was on her last days, so caring and thoughtful, arranging for me to stay with Mum overnight. They arranged sandwiches and drinks for us in a lounge to give us
a change from sitting in Mum's room. When she eventually passed, they treated her with loving care and great compassion.

My father was looked after by your staff for the last five weeks of his life and I would not have chosen any different. The staff were all very professional and caring and I was kept informed at all times, especially one member of staff, it was her kindness and professionalism on my visit to find somewhere
for my dad to end his days that told me, I did not need to look elsewhere.
Thanks to all the staff.

My father found it hard to settle and accept that he could no longer live independently at home. The staff and everyone at Brunswick Court Care Home worked hard to help him settle in and moved him to a nicer room. He is now more settled, loves his food and joins in all the activities. It is such a relief
to his family to see him well looked after. We are always made welcome when we visit and find the staff very friendly.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.616)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.616) out of 10 for Brunswick Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.616 for Brunswick Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (288 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (29 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 411 Ratings = 4.616

  • b) 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 Brunswick Court Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
