My husband went to Brunswick Court for nursing and palliative care. Sadly he was only there a couple of weeks before he passed away. I am just so thankful that we managed to get him into Brunswick Court as the care given was second to none. From the interim manager, HCA's, nurses and cleaning staff
who were all amazing, caring and supportive not only to my husband but to myself and all our family and friends. Thank you from us all.

Review from Leigh M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Nicely presented accommodation but which unfortunately does not make up for the general lack of care my mother experienced, eg staff either washed and dressed her before 6.30am or after 10 am. Once no one came at all. Staff did not refill the water jug despite frequent requests. The quantity of food
was insufficient. There was little communication between staff and my mother, despite her being fully compos mentis. My mother simply wasn't checked on often enough by staff or management and any requests she made were simply ignored.
She was generally neglected. The care group is definitely not value for money.

Since being transferred from hospital in November 2018 I have found the staff at Brunswick Court most helpful and they have always treated me with care and dignity. My room is excellent as are the facilities and the food and drink. The meals are excellent. I would recommend this care provider to friends
if they were to need similar care or treatment.

Review from Regina N (Mother-in-law of Resident) published on 30 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Brunswick Court showed such empathy and love for my mother-in-law from the day she arrived to the sad day she passed away.
She struggled with the diagnosis of terminal cancer and the staff especially the two carers who continued to show her such compassion.
As a family, the pressure of
watching a loved one die was made easier knowing she was receiving exceptional care.

My sister-in-law was made very welcome here. She loved her room. It was very easy to visit at any time. She enjoyed the activities, having her hair and nails done. All gave her self confidence and she liked to look nice. The staff, nurses and above all, the cares took great care of her. Thank you all
for the kindness and care you showed her.

Overall care good, but would be better if a little more personal care could be taken. Cleaning needs to be a little more thorough eg, behind chairs at the edge of the carpet.

My Mother was a resident at Brunswick Court from February 2017 until April 2018. Her care during this period was exemplary! The staff from management to the lovely lady who kept the home clean were respectful, caring and loving in some cases. We were always greeted with a smile, a hug when needed, no
matter what time of day we visited. Mum was happy at Brunswick and looked on her key workers and nurses as her family. If I were ever incapacitated I would willingly be at home there. If you are looking for a Care/Nursing home for your loved one look at Brunswick!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.541)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.541) out of 10 for Brunswick Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.541 for Brunswick Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (32 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.541
  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 Brunswick Court Care Home is based on 27 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 27 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.
