My father stayed here for about five weeks and was treated and looked after very well by all staff.
Nothing was too much trouble, and I was informed of any changes and concerns about my father. I would highly recommend it.

The care of my mother at Bryher Court Nursing Home has been exemplary. Very good service with very kind, compassionate and caring staff. All members of staff have treated my mother and me in a very compassionate and sensitive way under the saddest of circumstances.
I am hugely grateful to everybody
working in Bryher Court Nursing Home and I will never forget all the very kind people I have met there.
I will remember everybody there as if they are my friends. Thank you so much to all involved in my mother's care.

Although the home looks dated and a little tatty in places, the care as patients appears very good. Staff are kind, attentive and always willing to engage with visitors. Patients are clean, tidy and treated with warmth and respect. The food is excellent. The nurses are always ready to answer questions
and take care to support relatives in difficult times.

All staff at Bryer Court are very dedicated to making the lives of residents as comfortable as possible. All support, ranging from admin through to nurses in charge are excellent. When visiting, we are always welcomed and made to feel as if we're 'home from home'. Mum is always clean, tidy and well

Although my husband was only at Bryher Court Nursing Home for one week before he passed away, he could not have been cared for better. All the staff involved in his care were gentle, caring, compassionate and understanding. Our family will be forever grateful. Thank you.

Bryher Court is a very welcoming care home. The staff care a great deal and many are longstanding. The rooms are spacious, light and airy. The communal lounge and large conservatory are used for activities. The garden has been a great pleasure for my mum and a place to meet other residents and enjoy
joining in. Definitely recommend.
Reply from Paul Barron, Director at Bryher Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our nursing home. We try to make Bryher Court a friendly, welcoming place - a "home from home" where visitors are always welcome. Your kind words are encouraging for our staff and will be seen by others who could benefit from our service.

Although Mum was only with them for six weeks (end-of-life care), the staff were wonderful. Allowing us to make her room like home, always available to speak to members of the family and made us very welcome. I felt they did a fabulous job to make Mum's last weeks as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

The Bryher Court Nursing Home is very well thought of by the local hospital and the staff do a fantastic job, from the cleaners to everybody who is involved in the management of the nursing home. I would not hesitate in giving my support to a fantastic home with a fantastic staff who makes every effort
to make a patient's stay, a happy one.
Reply from Paul Barron, Director at Bryher Court Nursing Home

We are pleased that this gentleman has enjoyed his time with us as a temporary resident. He came to us from hospital following an accident and had never needed assistance from a care home before. He has been pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the activities, the food, our large lounge, which is all very gratifying for us.

I visited my friends mum regularly at Bryher Court Nursing Home during September and October. I found all the staff, whether they were answering the telephone or helping run the home, to be very professional, courteous, friendly and informative.
I have seen a fair few Nursing Homes and I found Bryher
Court to be a very well run home with a friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend using them.
Reply from Paul Barron, Director at Bryher Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our Nursing Home. We greatly appreciate your thoughts - particularly as you have visited other Nursing Homes.

My husband was placed in this home by the NHS due to the virus situation. Even though I am unable to enter, the staff have been very helpful during these difficult times. I ring to get news on my husband and recently have actually spoken to him through the window. As I have not entered, I cannot comment
on other matters.

My mother has been at Bryher Court for over two years. Generally, I am happy with Mum's care. However, two things worry me about the home. Firstly, whenever I visit at weekends it takes a long time for a member of staff to answer the door. I have waited for five minutes which is unacceptable. Secondly,
when visiting I do notice the call alarm seems to ring a lot. Is there a staff shortage? On a positive note, Mum is happy in her room. She likes to see people coming and going through her window (not literally!).
Reply from Paul Barron, Director at Bryher Court Nursing Home

Thank you for giving our Care 5 stars and the Staff 5 stars - they deserve the praise - particularly whilst having to wear masks in the hot weather during the crises.
Family and frequent visitors may enter quickly via the security keypad at the front door - no waiting!
The nurse call can ring continuously but it doesn't mean it isn't being answered! As a call is answered there could already be a second person ringing and maybe a third resident presses their buzzer before the second call is answered. We have an above average number of staff on duty which our Manager will happily explain to you.
We have a very good activities coordinator who is a lot of fun and who is a good friend to the residents. I think if you saw her doing her ice cream trolley rounds (complete with ice cream van music) or saw her at the recent teddy bears pick-nick in July, you would give her five stars as well!

My mother spent three weeks in post-hospital respite care. She was treated very well. Really liked the staff and care she received. The staff went beyond their roles to assure her wellbeing. Thank you. No activities due to COVID.

My mother has been at Bryher Court since May. When she arrived at the home she had been given a very short prognosis by hospital consultant, and was very frail and poorly. The change in 6 weeks is almost miraculous! The nursing staff have worked wonders with an infected surgical wound, and the food
and general care she has received have very nearly restored our old mum to us! Without exception the staff are kind, caring, oh so patient, and chat to and listen to mum. Thank you Bryher Court.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Bryher Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.891 for Bryher Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.891
  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 Bryher Court Nursing Home is based on 19 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 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
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 19 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.
