I can't praise Bryher Court Nursing home enough. The care my sister has received since being a resident in the home from the nursing staff, housekeepers, health care assistants, caterers & admin staff has been great all round. My sister is truly happy, in an amazing room, with round the clock care if
needed.
The gardens are lovely to sit out in to enjoy the sun. Afternoon tea & cake & the living room is there to sit & chat with some of the other residents if she so wished.There is a choice of food, to suit all dietary needs.
It's always a worry when looking for nursing homes, as a family we are so very happy, that our sister has settled & is happy too in her new home. Thank you all at Bryher Court.

My Dad has been in this nursing home now for six months and he, my whole family and I, feel so very lucky to have found this home for him. From the moment we first walked in six months ago, we knew that this was the right place for him because we were immediately struck by the wonderful welcome afforded
to us by the staff, and the friendly and very warm atmosphere that pervaded the whole place. Dad has felt truly cared for by every member of staff, and he knows the name of each of them! I visit my Dad everyday so I truly know that he is well cared for, and I can't thank the staff, the management, the nursing and indeed the catering staff enough. Knowing that Dad is so well cared for gives me, and my brothers and sisters such comfort and peace of mind. Thank you all at this marvellous nursing home!

Staff from the management to carers are extremely helpful in all aspects of their dedicated work.
We were always greeted by a member of the management team and well informed on the current health of my father.
My father's room is very airy with plenty of natural light, he has at his disposal all his
needs.
Recently we requested help for a minor medical need , a nurse came immediately and assisted my father.
My Dad loves the staff and they also are very respectful of him.
Although not seen by my father I have witnessed the activity staff in their roll. The residents all appeared to be enjoying the play roll of the staff who were very cheerful. I did join in one game whilst my father was being attended to by a nurse.Yes we had a laugh.
Food seemed plentiful but not always liked by my Dad.

My Grandfather is well looked after here by the attentive and caring staff who are polite and friendly. Bryher Court is clean and well kept, and the home cooked food is popular.
Our family were concerned about choosing a care home when Grandad needed full time care, however we have no such concerns
now that he is settled. Thank you to all staff members for what you do!

As a family we are so pleased that Dad is in such fantastic caring hands. The staff are so attentive to all Dads needs. The quality of food is nutritionally balanced and if any choice of Dads is not suitable they are quick to find a suitable alternative.
Dad's medical care his personal requirements

An excellent care home, facilities, staff and all round care.

The local hospital told us that we needed to choose a nursing home for my father-in-law as soon as, and we set off that same day with a list of local ones. Being at the top of the list we went to this one first. Having been to a few over the years, what with my own close relatives, and those of close
friends, where, to be honest, I wouldn't have left a pet to be looked after, let alone someone dear to me, I was quite fearful of what I might discover. I needn't have worried because I was absolutely knocked off my feet as soon as I entered Bryher Court. The staff were smiling, the residents I saw looked very happy and content, the hallways and rooms were well decorated and so clean, cheery notices were on the walls, there were flowers in vases, and everywhere smelt so good; it was like everybody's idea of a home! After just a few moments I was whispering into my wife's wear "Say Yes! Take it! This is a great place!" She did and her Dad has been here now for 6 months and he adores it!

We have found all the employees very helpful and knowledgable, and they perform a difficult job with the upmost professionalism and in a happy manner. They are very welcoming to myself and my wife when we visit.
We have seen a marked improvement in both Mums physical and mental health, and for that
we thank the home and the staff. The social interaction of the residents is a key part of this, and the two young ladies who create and implement the activities are worth a special mention.
Thankyou all.

The standard of care my step father received was of a very high standard. The care, compassion and dignity given was amazing!
Staff were so caring and we were always contacted when we had questions regarding my step father's health & wellbeing. We felt so supported as a family.
Room was always clean
and bed linen was always clean & fresh!
The facilities within the nursing home were brilliant but unfortunately we didn't get to use. Special attention was given around birthday & anniversary's, this was so appreciated as we knew as a family they would possibly be the last! Seeing the fireworks from my stepfather's room was very special and won't be forgotten..
Food & drink was very good and there was no problem changing afew things so my stepfather could enjoy the tastes of foods he enjoyed. We felt very safe that we could leave my stepfather in your hands when we couldn't be there.
Just keep doing what you're all doing, would I recommend, YES!
Thankyou .. Thankyou

I and the family are very pleased with the care given to my sister at Bryher Court Nursing Home. The staff are endlessly patient with her and she seems to be very happy there, having been a resident for three and a half years. She couldn't be better looked after and we are so grateful for the kind treatment
that my sister receives at Bryher Court. (She is unfortunately unable to partake in any activities hence the 'don't know' rating).

My mother was moved under a free 'discharge to assess' scheme from hospital. She spent seven and a half weeks in a second-floor room with a high window she could not look out from - so could only see the sky. The lift was next to her room and it made the floor shake. She kept asking about all the doors
that were banging (fire exit doors for staff to go between floors). She was very frail and unable to take part in any activities. Thankfully, her daily carers and the nurses did their best to raise her spirits.
I decided to move her nearer to family where she had a ground-floor room with a view. She is still immobile but can now be put into a wheelchair and recliner! Her general interest has now returned.
Thanks to staff at Bryher Court Nursing Home.

Treated my dad with respect and kindness for his end-of-life care. My dad was kept clean, and the room was always spotless. I got a great feeling from all of the staff that I met whilst he was being cared for, and can't thank them enough for their kindness in his last few weeks of life. Would recommend
this care home without hesitation.

Mum is a stroke victim, paralyzed down one side. The care at Bryher Court is excellent and appropriate. The staff are extremely caring, thoughtful, and compassionate. Mum is often moved to tears of gratefulness for their care when discussing how she is looked after. Facilities and property are old and
constructed accordingly, but are always clean, hygienic, and appear well maintained. Food is exemplary and we often eat lunch with Mum in a family and homely atmosphere, and always made to feel very welcome during our visits. The atmosphere is such that we now consider many of the staff and residents our friends.

It is lovely that you are happy to visit and appreciate the staff so much. It is good to know that your Mum is so pleased with her care. Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts about the home.

My mum has been at Bryher Court for four months now and is very happy and settled in her new surroundings. My mum came here from hospital with a grade three pressure sore which has now virtually healed. That's due to the dedication of the staff. They are excellent, very approachable, kind and caring.
I can't praise the whole team enough. Thank you all.

My brother (who is dyslexic) tells me that all the staff at Bryher Court Nursing Home are wonderful - very kind and attentive. Even as a shy, insular person he was made to feel at ease. He was pleased to be able to stay in his room as he is not used to socialising. He appreciated the food choices and
having freshly cooked food, a treat after his frozen convenience meals at home.

My brother has been a resident at Bryher Court for five months now, and he's settled very well into his new surroundings. All of the staff are fantastic, very people-focused and approachable, and seem genuinely happy in their roles. The environment is a friendly one, a cheerful one, and the interactions
between staff and residents are plentiful and caring. My brother has improved both physically and mentally during his time at Bryher Court, and he enjoys his daily chats and interactions with the staff. As visitors, we're always welcomed and made to feel at home; we've been really pleased with our experience so far.

My aunt stayed here for six weeks between hospital and a permanent residential care home. She was looked after very well by the friendly caring staff. As she was not so well she wasn’t able to take part in many activities although was taken out for a pub lunch which she really enjoyed. I would recommend
this for nursing care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Bryher Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.887 for Bryher Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 Bryher Court Nursing Home is based on 21 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 21 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.
