From the moment he arrived, the staff were welcoming.
My husband struggled to settle for the first few days and the staff were very patient kind and caring.
They took the time to get to know him and made sure he felt comfortable and settle.
Thank you to all the staff for making his stay a positive experience. I would happily recommend the care home to other families looking for compassionate and reliable respite care.
Thank you for your kind words which I'll share with our team. Should the family need support in the future we would be delighted to be able to help.

I cannot fault any of the care she received while there, all the staff are always kind, friendly, helpful & supportive. The food always looks lovely & fresh. And everywhere is kept spotlessly clean. Any questions or concerns were always quickly addressed & we were always kept updated.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We were privileged to care for your mother and to support your family during this sad time. She will be missed by all who cared for her during her stay here.

The food is lovely, the afternoon tea is wonderful and I think the events that the home hold, incorporating the family, are well done.
Thank you for your kind words which I'll share with the team. Its lovely to know that their care and compassion is acknowledged, not only by our residents but also to family and friends who visit.

My mother was only meant to go in for restbite for 3 weeks while I had a holiday, she had been having TIA's which she happened to have the night before I left, making it very hard to go or not. Our mother was well looked after resting in bed, then getting into a chair then a wheelchair and leaving her room, finally getting her strength back to use her walker and walking stick a little, the staff through there care, regular meals, creating games in the dayroom, singers coming in having her hair cut, and making some new friends. Mum became well enough to return home. We cannot fault any staff from cleaners, Catering, Nursing, Entertainment through to a welcome on reception.
Thank you or your lovely comments. We are delighted to have welcomed your mum to our home and to have assisted in her recovery
I moved into Brabourne Care Centre on the 2nd February 2026. From the moment I moved in, I became alive again. I have such a lovely room, I have my own toilet and sink and can shut the door.

I moved into Brabourne Care Centre on the 2nd February 2026. From the moment I moved in, I became alive again. I have such a lovely room, I have my own toilet and sink and can shut the door. The wardrobe and cupboards are lovely, and new curtains. It is just like a hotel. I cannot fault the carers or staff, they are all just wonderful. The food is fabulous, there is such a lot that I can't have, but they have all sorted out my needs, which is lovely. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone here. We have either activities or well-being twice a day, everyone joins in, I can't fault the staff, cares or the home, it's all just magnificent.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is our privilege to welcome you to our your new home, here at Brabourne Care Centre.

Thank you for entrusting your sister into our care. We are pleased to be able to care for her and support your family at this difficult time.

As a daughter I am assured that my mother is receiving the very best care.
Everything about Brabourne is excellent, the attention from the staff, the communication. From walking through the front door to the carers on the Dementia floor.
The residents are treated with care and respect. The staff also treat the families with the same care and respect.
Sonia looks after everyone in terms of food and refreshments.
It feels so reassuring to know that mum is with people that genuinely care.
Thank you, we are delighted to welcome your mum back to Brabourne and read your lovely comments about our team.

My father was a resident in this care home. He was on the dementia unit of the care home. The staff here were extremely good at looking after my father and dealing with specific needs that arose from his diagnosis. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I was kept up to date regularly on how my father was doing. All of the staff had a lot of time for the residents there, which was really good to see as a previous home did not seem to be as attentive towards their residents. My father spent around two years in this care home and I believe that he received the best possible care that he could have for his duration. I can only thank the staff for all of their hard work and dedication.
Thank you, I'll share your kind comments with our team.

Today was Christmas Dinner with mum and was superb. Mum is not the greatest lover of food but ate well. My husband and I had a super meal with all the extras to make it perfect. Care home is exemplary. Carers, nursing staff and hostess team are all caring, cheerful and always encouraging. Patience and gentleness is seen everywhere. Brabourne Care Centre is spotlessly clean and the friendly support staff seem to take a pride in their work and rightly so. Great place!

Thank you for your lovely comments, we're glad our Christmas lunch impressed!
Although my mum in law was only here for a short time we couldn't have asked for better care. It is lovely here, nice and clean and the staff are amazing, and really take their job seriously. The food was very good too. We have nothing but good words to say about this home.

The facilities are very good and the home is kept spotlessly clean at all times. I also appreciate the effort the staff make to put on extra events and visitors for the residents.
My only reservation is the cost but I realise that this is beyond the homes control.
We appreciate your comments and our team will be pleased to know that they provide the important peace of mind that your mother is well cared for. We continually strive to maintain our costs, whilst providing the highest quality of care for all our residents, and thank you for acknowledging that many overheads are a necessary part of this provision.

Such an amazing transformation in my father in law since his arrival at Brabourne from his previous care home. He is now cleaner, always shaved and constantly smiling which was very rare before. All of the staff are so friendly not only to the residents but visitor's too. I am never concerned about him when I'm not there. I know he is safe which was a big issue in his previous home.
Thank you, we are delighted to see your father smiling and enjoying life with us at Brabourne, and to be able to offer you peace of mind is our privilege.
