Bramley Court Care Home

My uncle stayed at Bramley Court for end of life care. He could not have found better care, he took part in all that he was able to do. Often telling us he had been to the gym - when he had been doing exercises. The nursing staff and carers were amazing with him, he had sores, but with their expertise and care these healed making life more comfortable for him. During lockdown when unable to visit the staff assisted with Zoom calls so we could keep in touch and be able to see him. The staff supported the family by giving regular updates, showing care and compassion. My uncle would say 'they are looking after me well' which says it all really.

We moved my father to Bramley Court after a bad experience in a previous home. Immediately it became apparent that this place was special. 'Trust' - we trust Bramley with our dear Dad. They show immense love, kindness and patience with the residents, they seem to get to know them, not just as the people they are, but as the people they were. My Dad was a shy, kind engineer; they know that, and he is treated as such. They deserve their good reputation.

I feel my father has been very well cared for on Damson Ward at Bramley Court. In comparison to other care homes we have experience of particularly in the recent pandemic, Bramley Court has done very well.

My husband's health was very poor during the Christmas period. Bramley Court provided excellent care and assistance to him and our family, so to enable us to all share the festivities together. We were given regular updates on his condition and doctor's visits were regular. Visits to the hospital, when necessary were arranged for, with the accompaniment of a member of staff. He later died in hospital after Christmas. My only regret is that this could not occur at Bramley Court.

Every effort is made to ensure that I am given regular feedback on my mother, resulting in me feeling able to relax and trust Bramley Court.

My husband has been resident at Bramley Court for just over 2 years, following a move from a more expensive but less satisfactory placement. He immediately became calmer and less distressed. As a family, we noticed the friendly and caring atmosphere. As his physical and mental condition has deteriorated, his care needs have increased and this is fully catered for. I am confident that he is safe and well cared for when no visitor is with him. I also feel that the staff, especially senior members are also concerned for my welfare and I find them approachable and supportive. A friendly and happy home.

This was my first visit to see my sister and I had heard she had settled in well. This was borne out by her general appearance of being happy and in good health. She has gained a little weight which suggested she was being offered good food and I enjoyed all the meals we shared. Her room was tidy and clean and I am confident she will continue to thrive in the environment of Bramley Court.

My husband moved from home to Bramley Court in April 2017 and has been well cared for during this time. His dementia is complex and undiagnosed. His state is that no two days are the same. The home organises so many activities, are varied so that it's possible to suit most residents. Singers, minibus outings, church services and exercise classes of varying intensity. Walks to the local duck pond and around Bramley's garden to visit the Bramley Village shops within the grounds. The bedrooms are kept clean and tidy and the communal areas are likewise. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is an overall sense of care.

We had a wonderful and special day celebrating my mothers 92nd birthday after a tough year for her. The food was great. As always, everything at Bramley Court was well organised by their competent and caring team. We were also able to enjoy a round of mini-golf in the new garden to round off a perfect day.

I think the staff here are all lovely, you looked after my husband so well it couldn't have been better.

The staff at Bramley Court were so helpful and kind to my husband. I will let him go in again for respite in the near future.

The food is plentiful and always looks appealing and appetising. A strong plus for people suffering dementia. We feel the home suits our mum well and pleased she is able to be a resident in Bramley Court

Clean, bright rooms. Friendly professional staff. Some fun ideas for activities. A good feeling of community between residents and relatives. A safe and caring home for vulnerable people.

Since she has been residing there she has become physically stronger, her anxiety has dispersed she is smiling again, calm, happy and settled they have all done an exceptional job and I know she is truly cared for!

My father-in-law has been at the home since May 2017. He took a while to settle and was very unhappy and agitated. After approx 3 weeks he began to settle with a very large input from excellent care staff. He now appears happy and content and is often helping staff in the kitchenette. This is a familiar taste and he appears to like to be needed.

Bramley Court care home, where my husband has been since April 2017 have given him love, attention and empathy during his time there. They have been wonderful with him and acted over and above what is needed. For example, they took him in a car to Ely, where at his request had fish and chips, then to the river where they had a bottle of prosecco in the car and gave my husband and I a glass each. Cushions and blanket taken for his comfort.

Arranged two-week respite care for my husband. Staff very helpful and friendly. The home had a welcoming and very pleasant atmosphere so I had no hesitation in leaving my husband in their care.

All the staff are caring, kind and sensitive to my mother's needs. She is supported in an unobtrusive and respectful manner, which allows her to retain her dignity despite having dementia. My mother is excited to be involved in the various activities and trips which are available.

Hopefully both of these would be resolved during a longer stay.

Some problems with stoma care, otherwise fine.
