My husband, who has severe dementia, spent three and a half days respite at Barbourne Lodge. I was struck by the efficiency and cleanliness of the home. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff and the attention to detail to ensure my husband's visits went smoothly. They were very kind and caring people. It was a very safe and realiable environment.
Thank you for taking the time to share such lovely feedback. We pride ourselves on offering the highest standard of care and are delighted that this was your experience when your husband visited, our team will be really pleased to hear your kind comments.
A big thank you to all the staff involved with my dad.

Thank you for your kind words, it has been our pleasure to look after your dad and we're delighted to have been able to settle any worries you may have had.
The best thing about Brabourne Care Centre is the carers who work to learn what you think and try and help me.

Have been very happy with the care my mother has received. All the staff are friendly and caring. When I leave mum I know she is being well looked after. The most valuable asset the home has is its staff. Thank you all.

The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate our needs especially arranging visits. They made me cups of tea while I waited for the Covid results. The room had a smell of urine although it was always clean.

My mother is fortunate to be in Brabourne Care Home. I always find the hard-working and dedicated staff very helpful, friendly and easy to deal with. Care homes have been placed under considerable extra pressure by the pandemic but it appears to me Brabourne has coped very well and professionally in a difficult situation. I believe my mother is happy in the home. I and my family are very grateful to the staff and management.

As mum's dementia has deteriorated her needs have changed but this has been handled with sensitivity and full communication with the family.
During these difficult and unprecedented times of Covid-19, we have always felt she has been kept as safe as possible and been reassured by the protocols which have been put in place.
Bravo Brabourne and the entire team who work there.
My mother has been at Brabourne since February this year. The home is always clean and tidy and the staff are excellent. The staff always have time for my mother and I and they are very friendly. The food is excellent according to my mum.

Since arriving at Brabourne, all the staff have been approachable, helpful, bright, friendly and always accommodating for my mother and the whole family.
The environment is clean, light and has a lovely feel to it, the staff are very informative, caring and will always adapt any visit where they can, their understanding and compassion is outstanding and the duty of care is of the highest standard.
I would like to personally thank every member of staff who works there regardless of job as they are a lovely team and it is like a family working together to care for our loved ones.
In the times we live in at the moment with the added worry of Covid and limited time and availability to see my mother, I can't express the thanks first-class treatment she has received from all staff, so again Thank you all so much.
I have been very well looked after both night and day. The staff are excellent carers, very capable and sympathetic to the resident's needs with medical staff who are efficient and vigilant in their care of those who need their help and medication. Food is cooked in-house and is very appetising....
I have been very well looked after both night and day. The staff are excellent carers, very capable and sympathetic to the resident's needs with medical staff who are efficient and vigilant in their care of those who need their help and medication. Food is cooked in-house and is very appetising. The rooms are cleaned every day by a team of excellent carers.
I would like to have said that following some six weeks in Brabourne Care Centre my wife's rehab was a great success, but sadly I can't. My wife has Parkinson's and was struggling to walk, so she was taken here for rehab to improve her mobility. Unfortunately, she was left in bed for days on end...
I would like to have said that following some six weeks in Brabourne Care Centre my wife's rehab was a great success, but sadly I can't. My wife has Parkinson's and was struggling to walk, so she was taken here for rehab to improve her mobility. Unfortunately, she was left in bed for days on end with just occasional rehab input. If you know anything about Parkinson's you will know the patient needs to exercise at least once an hour during the day otherwise they seize up and reversing this is very difficult, so to be left in bed for most of the time over a six week period is extremely damaging. To say this is heartbreaking for me would be an understatement as she can't even stand now let alone walk, in just six weeks. I found the staff pleasant enough but there didn't seem to be enough of them and the ones I spoke to really didn't understand Parkinson's. It would have been better if they'd refused to take her because at home I could get her to move a bit. Heartbroken!!
My aunt went into Brabourne after a hip operation in February 2020 for rehabilitation and was stuck in there due to COVID-19. Unfortunately, we were duped into thinking this was a good care home for my aunt by the good reviews already posted here. But it is not a good care home and the lack of...
Find another care home if you want your relative to come out thriving after an operation. There is only one good thing about that place and that is the receptionist.
We are extremely disappointed with the care and would never recommend anyone to go there. Let's see if this posted as a review or they just post the good ones.
Since my father was taken into care from day one up until he passed away on 30/06/2020, I can only say that everything and everybody at the care home were caring, sympathetic and always very polite. It wasn't only the care of my Dad's well-being, it was also shown to his family members when they...
I myself am extremely grateful for the last 2 weeks he was with us, that I could be with him to comfort him, thanks to all the staff involved. We cannot thank you enough, even in my Dad's death, they all showed him so much dignity and respect.

My elderly mother has been in Brabourne Care Centre since December 2019. During this time she has experienced a very high standard of professional, compassionate and understanding care form all members of the team. She is treated with dignity and respect and the carers have a sympathetic and kindly attitude to her needs, combined with a high level of professionalism. I recommend Brabourne without reserve.

From the moment my mum entered the care home we felt so comfortable with the care she received. Nothing was too much trouble. They looked after her and made myself and my sister very welcome. From the nursing staff, the carers and the cleaning staff they showed my mum such kindness. They always kept my mum clean and comfortable and her room was spacious, bright and clean. Unfortunately, my mum was very poorly and her stay in the home was only 6weeks. When she passed away they were genuinely saddened. We thank all the staff at Brabourne Care Centre for making our mums last few weeks as comfortable and pain-free as they could. We will always be grateful to you all.
I am confident that my husband is having the best care and that he is happy to be resident in Brabourne Care Centre.
