Review from Debbie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Dad moved to Bradbury in July 2024. I was appreciative that Management and Staff members worked with me to ensure he could remain in the area he had lived in for so many years and also be close to my Mum while she was alive. Bradbury house is light and clean and rooms are of a very good standard.

There are 2 lovely outside areas where residents can sit and enjoy the gardens.Food is of a good standard and Dad eats and drinks well.
The Management and staff are cheerful and caring and are responsive to any questions or requests I have. At his last birthday they decorated the room I had booked for family - without being asked to - this was much appreciated by us all. I appreciate the many demands on Management and Staff members who maintain professional and non-judgemental at all times. Activity schedule is varied and includes special activities around seasons/holidays/national days.
Reception staff are welcoming and excellent ambassadors for Bradbury House.

Reply from Jane Holden, Home Admission Manager at Bradbury House Nursing HomeDear Debbie,
Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that your Dad has settled well at Bradbury House and that both he and your family have felt supported since his move in July 2024.
Your lovely comments in regards to our staff, facilities, activities, and hospitality are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the whole team. We are especially pleased that your Dad's birthday celebration made the day extra special for you and your family.
Thank you again for recognising the hard work and dedication of our staff. Your feedback means a great deal to us all.

Overall Experience

I find Bradbury house to be very friendly and my husband is happy to be there. He likes the familiarity of the staff and that seems to have been more stable of the past few months. I have occasionally had to query some of his medical issues. Prescriptions being delayed. I wish the irritation he has

with his skin had been prioritised sooner. This is probably more to do with the GP.

Reply from Jane Holden, Home Admission Manager at Bradbury House Nursing HomeDear Kathryn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are delighted to hear that you find Bradbury House a friendly environment and, that your husband is happy with his care. It is pleasing to know that he values the familiarity of our staff, and we are glad that the recent stability within the team has been reassuring for you both.
We also appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention regarding the medical matters you have had to follow up. Please be assured that we take this feedback seriously and will review our processes to ensure we are supporting residents and families effectively.

Overall Experience

Dad moved into Bradbury House in August 2025 as he was no longer able to receive the care he needed in his own home. Although initially he was not keen to be there, the staff made him feel very welcome and helped him settle in. They continue to be very friendly, helpful and caring, and there has always

been good communication between myself and the staff.

We also appreciate your comments about communication - keeping families informed and involved is very important to us, and we're glad you've felt supported throughout.

Staff do an excellent job and offer support to family of resident as well as the residents themselves. Mum feels settled and I know she is well looked after. Although with all dementia patients you are aware there is going to be a decline in their health but staff and management always listen to your

concerns and try their best to implement any requests relating to your relatives care. Sometimes staffing levels do seem to be at a minimum but everyone does their best to attend to residents needs

We are delighted to hear that your mum feels settled and well cared for, and it is reassuring to know that you feel supported as a family member. Providing compassionate care for both our residents and their loved ones is extremely important to us.
We appreciate your understanding of the challenges that can accompany dementia and are grateful for your recognition of our team's efforts to listen, and tailor care to individual needs. Your comments will be shared with both our care and management teams, as positive feedback like this is always encouraging and meaningful to staff.
We also acknowledge your comments regarding staffing levels. Please be assured that we continually review staffing to ensure residents' needs are met safely and respectfully. Thank you again for taking the time to review us.

My 98 year old mother was transferred to Bradbury House from Hospital 10 days ago. This is a big challenge for my mum as until 2 months ago mum was mobile and enjoyed trips out. Now mum is bed bound. This is all new to me and the family too. The staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble, they

are like extended family. Mum's room is lovely and cosy with a lovely view of the trees. The whole Care Home is kept very clean. Thank you for welcoming mum and for the really kind way that you look after her.

My husband moved into Bradbury House Nursing Home, Aylesford in August 2025 for respite care whilst I was having chemotherapy treatment and necessary recovery. He was there for 5 months. Whilst there he was extremely well cared for. The staff were so kind to him and made him very welcome. His room

was well equipped with everything he could possibly want and was always kept so clean. The meals were varied, suiting all tastes and the Christmas lunch was superb. Activities were varied and a lot of fun, some being cleverly devised to give residents some exercise as well as enjoyment.
I would highly recommend Bradbury House.

I would like to share my positive experiences regarding the care my partner is receiving at Bradbury House Nursing Home, Aylesford.
It truly feels like living in a four-star, fully inclusive hotel. The food is excellent-well-presented, home-cooked, and served in the dining room. The rooms are all

very airy, featuring large windows and en-suite facilities, each equipped with a television, making them very comfortable. The care home also offers a variety of full activities throughout the day, and the cleanliness is consistently excellent, maintained to a high standard.
All of the staff are incredibly friendly and approachable. They genuinely care for the residents and create a warm, welcoming environment. My partner is very happy there, and I am more than satisfied with the level of care and support he receives.

My dad moved into the home in December 2025. All staff from day one have made him and us feel welcome,safe and cared for. They go above and beyond on a daily basis. The activities calendar is excellent and varied. My dad eats well, always tells me how good the food is.
And when he's sundowning at

4am, the night team get him a cup of tea. Knowing he's safe means I can finally get sleep too.
The laundry is super quick, the care team make dressing and showering a nice experience for him. And reception staff are great. The admissions team made it feel more like a chat and helped with the forms.
It's been the best thing for my dad.
I have no complaints.

Review from Keith B (Husband of Resident) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Bradbury House is clean and run by friendly staff. The downsides are waiting for staff to attend when buzzed. An hour or more is not uncommon especially in the early morning hours. My wife is bedbound and unable to help herself and, despite promises, no one has yet sat her in the comfy chair in her

room. Several times I have been "trapped" in the foyer in trying to exit the building because the reception was unstaffed. Even trying to go from upstairs to downstairs or vice versa is difficult when needing passing staff to assist. Overall not a bad place but the edges need a polish.

Reply from Jane Holden, Home Admission Manager at Bradbury House Nursing HomeDear Keith,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind comments about our staff and cleanliness.

We are genuinely sorry to hear about the concerns you have raised regarding staff attending when called, moving to a more comfortable chair and exiting the building. This is not the level of experience we aim to deliver, and we take your feedback seriously. Our team is already reviewing the points mentioned to ensure communication and support remain consistent for all residents and families.

We greatly value your input as it helps us continue improving the quality of care we provide. If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Registered Manager directly.
