Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved in to Brownscombe Care Residences in early November 2024 with advanced vascular dementia. Sadly, she passed away yesterday. But my family are comforted by the fact she received such wonderful care during her short time at the home. All the staff were kind, empathetic and professional at
all times. They have always been so welcoming and accommodating to family and friends who have visited Mum. We could not have chosen a better nursing home for my mum to end her days in. Thank you Brownscombe.
Reply from Rebecca Connolly, Regional Manager at Brownscombe Care ResidencesThank you for the lovely review. I will ensure this is passed on to the team at Brownscombe.

Review from Nigel L (Son of Resident) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very first there was a feeling that all the staff really did care about all the residents, as apposed to caring because they were supposed to. Not one single time did I visit my mother and not think she wasn't being looked after impeccably. She was looked after in a way quite impossible at
home, and it was never lost on me that the staff treated her as I would. It was reassuring that any issues there occasionally were (as indeed you would expect there to just occasionally be given the nature of a care home), were always addressed and resolved. I have nothing but praise for all the staff and would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone needing to find a safe and caring environment for their loved ones should it become necessary. When my mother died she did so as peacefully as imaginable, and to the very end was cared for. The best I can say really is that 'care home' actually does apply, as the staff care and it does have a home feel.

My mother was a resident from March to August when she sadly passed away. The care she received at Brownscombe Care Residences was absolutely fabulous throughout her stay but the care she received in her last few days was so dignified and professional. The staff were very dedicated and their care and
compassion was very much appreciated by all of her family not only did they look after mum but us too making a very difficult time a little more bearable we will forever be grateful for all of their care and would highly recommend this home.
Reply from Rebecca Connolly, Regional Manager at Brownscombe Care ResidencesThank you for your kind words, we will pass this onto the care teams. It was a pleasure looking after you mother.

I visit Brownscombe most days and am greeted in a friendly manner by all staff.
I am pleased that concerns are listened to and acted on promptly. On some occasions, there is a delay when personal care is requested and sometimes my husband has not been shaved.
Activities have improved during the past
few months.
There have been few relatives meetings during the time of my husband's occupancy but I understand this will improve in future.

When my nan first came to Brownscombe Care Residences in April, after an experience we had at another place, we didn't know what to expect but we are very happy we found Brownscombe. They are all really amazing, everyone is so friendly and makes you feel so welcome. Before my nan came here, she was
in bed 24/7, she ow does a little walking and sits in a wheelchair and at a table and chair for meals. She is so happy here. Everyone takes the time to support her needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister is in the loving care of the Brownscombe Care Residences and I could not think of anywhere I would rather have her.
The home is beautiful and it has been a pleasure to see its development over the past couple of years.
The care, attention and dedication of the care staff is fantastic.
The
manager is approachable, friendly and quick to act with a real passion and love for the home that radiates.
The addition of the new clinical lead has been invaluable to my sister's care, he is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and supportive to both her needs and that of us, as a family.
Thank you Brownscombe for making this journey in our lives a seamless one.

I stayed at Brownscombe House Nursing and Residential Home following a short spell in hospital and the team at Brownscombe supported me to get back on my feet and return home.
I'm so grateful for their care and support from the management right through to the chef and housekeeping, at every level I
was well cared for.
Activities kept my young mind active and I really enjoyed making new friends in both staff and fellow residents.
I can't praise the whole team more and would wholly recommend Brownscombe to everyone.

I came to Brownscombe House as a temporary resident after a long spell in hospital and ended up staying over a year...out of my own choice!
The care, love and friendship I recieved allowed me to regain my confidence to go home, something I never thought I would do.
The manager supported my every decision,
even last-minute changes in my mind to not go home because I wasn't ready, she reassured me it was no trouble and it was all in my own time.
I made friendships to last a lifetime and recently went back to visit for a party. If I ever need care again, I know exactly where I will be going! Thank you for everything.
Reply from Alison Packham, Service Manager at Brownscombe Care ResidencesThank you so much for you lovely review of your time with us at Brownscombe.
We were so happy to support your decisions and to see you achieve your goals.
The team all miss you very much but the door is always open for a visit or two!
All the best from the whole Brownscombe team.

My father was a resident of Brownscombe House for many months. From day one, he received first class, nursing care. He was treated with dignity and compassion from very professional staff and excellent management. Our family feel very fortunate that Dad was a resident here and I would wholeheartedly
recommend Brownscombe to anyone, of any age, requiring residential and/or nursing care.
Reply from Alison Packham, Service Manager at Brownscombe Care ResidencesThank you for taking the time to provide such a kind review.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Brownscombe Care Residences is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.724 for Brownscombe Care Residences is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.724
  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 Brownscombe Care Residences is based on 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 31 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.
