My father was only in the care home for a month but in that time we got to know the staff well and to trust their ability to lift and care for him. He quickly came to like a number of them very much and received very good care from all the staff. He sadly died far more quickly than we anticipated but
right to the end his care was excellent and he was treated with dignity.

My father started in the upstairs flat for respite but steadily deteriorated and moved downstairs to a normal room where he died a week later. The staff were fantastic and made my father feel really special. A very private man my father did not engage in any activities and stayed in his room the whole
time. Both rooms worked very well and we were very fortunate that the home was able to transition him to the best room for his rapidly changing needs. The staff were thoughtful and jolly throughout and made my Dad feel safe. I am a GP and work with care homes regularly. Arbrook is unusually good. The staff really care and work as a great team.

My mom was admitted towards her end of life, sadly passed away with love and care from all caring staff of Arbrook.

My mother felt as though Arbrook House was a family, she simply loved it there as the staff are so caring and give loving care - right to the very end of my mother's life there.
The home always feels full of life with many activities for the residents and many activities for the residents and many
entertainment and educational visitors.
The food is extremely good.
Above all the staff care for you as, I believe, they would want to be looked after themselves.

Management not here at weekends. There are 42 rooms and staff under pressure to cope with all the residents and agency staff have to be called in. The staff are caring, some exceptionally so. I have had to order some agency staff out of the room. Maintenance in bathroom very poor, washbasin sink plug
has broken chain, cupboard doors do not fasten. It takes some time to heat the water and more time to transfer water to the shower, hot water only lasts to 11.30am. Ordering of supplies very slow, frequent shortages of flannels, serviettes, drinks etc., told they will be here tomorrow. Summoning help by pressing 'bell' very slow. One can wait up to 1/2 an hour, one occasion I had to call "Help"!. It was another resident who got help for me. Chiropody service seen 23rd January and 18th April. Some night staff wear gloves to empty a commode, others do not, washing machine broke down January. Delay getting part, further delay for fixing.

Our friend was with your friendly home staff for about a month. He found the staff really helpful and caring. His friends were listened to and treated with respect.


The staff could not have been more accommodating as my friend sometimes got a little agitated, to say the least!


We have enjoyed

visiting my friend in these beautiful surroundings.

I found the staff very friendly and accommodating. A particular mention to the manager for his kindness and enthusiasm in caring, also the senior carer, a fantastic person where words are not enough. A shame I can't take her home with me! The grounds are beautiful, well kept but look natural.

I have now had two relatives who have chosen Arbrook House for respite after extended stays in hospital.


The surrounding beautiful gardens are well tended, the rooms are designed for comfort and offer privacy or a place to entertain family or friends.


But the staff, from the carers and support

staff to the chefs and nurses are the jewel in the crown! Professional, kind, supportive and dedicated to their patients.

My husband came to Arbrook House only 3 weeks ago having been in various hospitals for the past 9 months. I can only say that every single person, from the moment we arrived, was shown such kindness, care and total dedication. It humbles us as a family to witness this and we are so happy that we chose
Arbrook House for my husband.

Reply from Jayne Duck, Customer services administrator at Arbrook House Care Home

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that your husband has been shown nothing but kindness and care since he came to stay with us. I hope is is settling in ok and that you and your family have peace of mind knowing that he is well cared for.

After one week, I am very satisfied with my choice of Arbrook for my mother-in-law who has heart failure. The manager has been impressive, caring, swift to act and good in communicating, from hospital discharge to care home admission and in subsequent attentiveness.


Staff are courteous, patient

and helpful. They have such a tough job but manage to do it with a smile on their faces.


The care home has pleasant gardens, corridors can be noisy - but on the whole, we are satisfied, very much, at this point. Thank you.

We were called to Arbrook House as my husband was dying in a Friday evening.
After he had died, we went home.
No contact was made to us until Monday evening. We didn't know what had happened to his body or where he was.
The funeral directors subsequently told us he had been collected at 11pm Friday.
It would have been nice if the care home had phoned us on Saturday morning.

My husband came to Arbrook as he has advanced MS. The home is very comfortable and friendly. The staff are very kind and helpful. The surroundings are totally beautiful, with enormous landscaped gardens, complete with a lake. The accommodation is very comfortable with every need seen to. The food is
prepared by an excellent chef and is wonderful. Altogether, the best nursing home possible.

My husband was a redient at Arbrook House Care Home from 28th July 2016 until she passed away on the 27th September 2016. I cannot fault the care he was given. Arbrook House has an amazing team of nurses and carers who go above and beyond to look after both resident and family.

Some of the staff are excellent and very conscientious, whilst others seem to avoid their duties if they can. It would be nice if some members of staff showed a bit more charm and enthusiasm for their jobs and that includes the receptionist, who can at times veer
towards being grumpy and down right
rude which is not very welcoming. It does take quite a long time for staff to answer the bell. If possible it would be a good idea to get the council to install traffic lights at the gates.

I have had parents resident at Arbrook House since September 2013. Initially I had some concerns about staffing levels and communication both between staff at the home and with myself. In the past year there have been significant improvements in the physical environment and staffing levels and I feel
much more able to work in partnership with the staff about my parents care. This is now a warm, caring and supportive environment in which the recent death of my father was handled with great sensitivity and I have confidence that the future care needs of my mother will be fully met.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Arbrook House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.757 for Arbrook House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 481 Ratings = 4.757

  • b) 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 Arbrook House Care Home is based on 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 41 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Resident Experience Manager

Joined: 2012

I joined Bupa in June 2012 as a weekend receptionist at Wingham Court care home and stayed until 2017 when I was promoted to financial administrator and relocated to Arbrook House. In January 2024, I was promoted to resident experience manager and financial administrator at Arbrook House.


I enjoy working closely with residents and colleagues as well as meeting and supporting friends and families. It's fulfilling to be able to make a positive impact on their lives and create a supportive and caring environment.


Outside of work, I am very family-oriented and enjoy spending time with my loved ones. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as walking and meeting my friends for a catch-up. I also enjoy cooking different dishes for my family. I live locally and I appreciate the close-knit community and the opportunity to be involved in local events and initiatives.
