Mum was in Brabourne for just over 2 years. We found every one friendly and helpful, nothing was too much effort. All the staff spoke when you visited. When mum passed we were still welcomed and everyone offered their condolences. Mums care was excellent and she was treated with dignity. Cannot comment on value for money as mums care was paid for by a third party.
Thank you for your kind comments. It has been our privilege to care for your lovely mum. Our heartfelt condolences to your family.
Am very pleased with the care that Brabourne Care staff have given to Mum. Mum and us have been treated with dignity and respect before and after her passing.

My mother came to Brabourne Care Centre at the end of her life in December 2024. From the moment I met one staff member in particular who showed me around - completely unannounced - to the time my mother passed away, I have been treated with such kindness and compassion. The care given by the staff to my mother has been excellent. Every single member of staff, including reception, catering, well being, nursing and care assistants all should be commended.

My aunt recently died suddenly after 8 years in Brabourne Care Centre. I have nothing but praise for the time she spent there and the wonderful staff who gave so much more than their care! Having retired from the NHS after 41 years in both nursing and managerial roles I can say without question the Brabourne Care Centre is the best home that I have ever visited or worked in over those years! All of the staff give so much more to the residents and the welcoming and professional way in which they all perform their duties is absolutely amazing. My aunt loved being part of the Brabourne family and both myself and my family were all included in that. Thank you Brabourne Care Centre for providing such a memorable time for the last years of her life.
Thank you for such wonderful comments. We pride ourselves on commitment and compassion for all our residents, and their families, and it has been our privilege and joy to offer this to you aunt during her time with us. She will be greatly missed by all the team here at Brabourne. I will pass on your kind words and thank you again for taking the time to post such a lovely review.
My mother-in-law celebrated her 87th birthday on the 11th January 2025, we wanted to organise some music and have her family and friends attend for the music and an afternoon tea. The request for this to happen was welcomed and encouraged by the manager. All the staff became part of the celebration...
Regards.
We are always delighted to support celebrations and do all we can to make these days special. I'll share your kind words with all the team.

After several falls and a stay in hospital, I moved Mum from South Wales to Brabourne Care Centre to be near us. It was a very stressful time as Mum hated losing her independence and moving from her beloved home. She was very frail when she first moved there but within a few months, she was eating well and starting to enjoy life and particularly enjoyed sitting out in the garden and joining the activities. I cannot fault the care Mum had in the time she was there. There was always a warm welcome from the reception staff. Sadly, Mum's dementia deteriorated but the care she had in the last few months of her life was outstanding.
Thank you for your kind words. It has been our privilege to care for your mum and make the time she was with us enjoyable and comfortable, she will be sadly missed.

I've been coming up here for a year to visit the family and the staff are excellent there is one member of the care staff that is outstanding. You should be very proud to have him working for you. From my experience, he is the soul of the top floor care staff. You should be proud to have someone like him working for you. He is very professional in the job he does and the way he joins in, helps and plays with the other residence on the top floor is amazing. You should reward him and others like that for the way they are to the residence. If I had a Care Home and I had someone working for me like that, I would be extremely proud to employee people like that. Keep up the good work. You are a good example to all the other carers.
Thank you, I'll ensure your comments are shared with top floor and all our team. We are very proud of all our staff who contribute so much to the lovely atmosphere of our home.
My overall experience has been excellent. I feel included in everything. The staff are wonderful and so professional. It is a positive experience. I am happy.

My mother has been resident since February 2024, and is bed-bound with dementia. Every single member of staff, from management to nurses, catering staff to cleaners to admin, treats not only my mother with the greatest care, dignity and respect, but also us as her family, whenever we come to visit her. They are always cheerful and welcoming, and absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is beautifully clean, the food is plentiful and delicious, and there is a wide range of activities available for residents. We are made to feel as though they truly care about us all as much as they would a member of their own family. I cannot praise them highly enough, and I would recommend Brabourne Care Centre to anyone looking for top-quality care for their relative.
Thank you for such lovely comments. Our team take great pride in all they do and will be delighted to know they are making such a positive contribution to you mother's time here at Brabourne.
I am so pleased how my parents have settled into Brabourne. They have been here a while now and every care need is met with respect, dignity and care. The staff are so understanding and caring and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend this home to anyone.

The whole team have gone above and beyond whilst caring for my dad during his time at Brabourne. They helped me during my dad's deterioration and were always available for me to talk to. All of the carers had so much patience during my dad's unsettled periods. The kitchen staff recognised his change in eating habits and always made him food he would eat. Everyone is so friendly.
Thank you for your kind comments which mean so much to all our team here at Brabourne.
