  • Brandon Park, Brandon
Rated Outstanding by the CQC (November 2022), Brandon Park is a nursing and residential care home set within Brandon Country Park in Suffolk, with woodland and parkland giving residents open space and natural light rarely found this close to a town centre.

The home is substantial, with wide corridors and generous communal areas, and sits a short walk from the duck pond and independent coffee shop, with Brandon town centre close by. Residents in the Redwood and Cedar suites look out over the parkland, and the enclosed garden offers safe, accessible outdoor space year round.

The Maple Memory Centre is a dedicated dementia environment within the home, with a consistent specialist team and routines built around each person's history and interests. Access to the park and gardens is part of daily life here, giving residents a rhythm many find meaningful.

Accommodation spans three suite levels, each comfortable and well furnished, with double rooms for couples. Large hallways and an accessible layout suit residents with mobility needs, and suites can be personalised. The home is pet friendly, and visiting is open any time, no booking needed.

Meals are freshly prepared on site each day, with dietary needs and preferences catered for. A GP visits every Friday morning and a chiropodist every other Thursday, with dental, optician and physiotherapy appointments arranged as needed.

The activities team runs a weekly programme of group sessions, including bingo, word games and quizzes, alongside one to one time built around personal interests. Live entertainment, including Zumba and keep fit, takes place twice monthly, and a hairdresser visits every Tuesday.

Outstanding ratings were given for Caring, Responsive and Well-Led, and registered nurses are on site around the clock.

In the 2026 family survey, 83% of families said their relative feels safe here, describing a team whose care was evident on every visit.

Have visited my friend every week for the last 7 years as well as treatment to my brother in law and found staff and up keep very good. Always someone cleaning and staff very friendly to patients, nurse on hand at all times. The activities staff is a lovely person always smiling. Brandon Park is a lovely
building with well kept gardens and upkeep.
Reply from Ruth French, Director at Brandon ParkThank you so much for sharing your kind review! We agree that the home is spotlessly clean and always looks and smells fresh. We are so happy that this makes for such a good place for your brother-in-law to live and, of course, for you to come every week!

I thought Brandon was going to be my husband's only nursing home how wrong was I. A warning your relative can be given 28-days notice to vacate the home anytime. Obviously, profits are more important than the residents. The majority of the staff are excellent with a few individuals letting the home
down. Management does not communicate with their staff and relatives. Communication and leadership require updating. Nutrition needs improvement and staff need to be educated. It is not appropriate to allow someone to go from 82.5kg to 62.5kg in 8 1/2 months. On speaking to the GP reference weight loss did his nutritional intake and weight gain improve yet 5 weeks previous when I spoke to management it was not acted upon or if they did it was not communicated. Knowing a resident is a diabetic why give biscuits, cake with their cups of tea resulting in high blood sugars which had an impact on his behaviour. A verbal and written handover to the new home had incorrect medical conditions which could have resulted in harm.
Reply from Ruth French, Director at Brandon ParkWe are very sad to read your views. Whilst we will not share details of the care of your loved one publicly, it is clearly never our preferred route to give notice to any resident. Such a decision is given very rarely, and only with a huge amount of thought about whether the resident's needs can be met. It was clear to us, and to social services, that specialist provision was required in this case. The weight loss figures you quote are factually incorrect, and you do not highlight that your loved one maintained, and even gained weight for the first five months of their stay with us, only suffering a significant weight loss whilst in hospital, subsequent to which their health declined sharply. There is also no evidence to suggest any incorrect information was passed over to the new home. Given your concerns were so great, it comes as a surprise that you did not choose to give notice to us yourself. We wish you and your loved one all the very best at this difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The eighteen months that Dad spent at Brandon Park were filled with such extraordinary levels of care and support that my sister and I will be forever grateful.
Dad's overall health deteriorated gradually over the months and his ability to communicate with us declined as a result. What was always obvious
was his level of comfort from seeing kind, friendly faces whenever the carers attended to him in our presence.
It was lovely to see pictures of Dad engaging with staff and other residents in a variety of activities. His love of music was well supported, as were his new-found skills as a baker.
As a family, we could not have asked more from the home, its staff or the community it created in challenging times for Dad and ourselves.
Reply from Eve Fynn, Marketing and Communications Lead at Brandon ParkThank you for taking the time to submit such a wonderful review and share your experience of Brandon Park. It was a pleasure to be able to care for your dad and support you, as a family, throughout his stay with us. Staff will be overjoyed to read your comments, thank you again for sharing them with us.

Receiving sad news, my friend had a very short time to live. She was fast-tracked into Brandon Park nursing care on 19th February. This was the first day of the vast improvement, the staff have given her excellent care tailored to her needs. She is encouraged into activities, which has proved therapeutic.
Staff are dedicated, they give her time, she is encouraged to mix, she draws, sings, reads and now holds a conversation. The excellent care has grew of paramount importance in reflecting the very vast improvement in her. She now greets you with a smile. She had lost every movement, refused to eat and just lay in bed. Brandon Park has given her a new lease of life. Her much-improved health has reflected so much joy and gratitude. From me to each and every member involved in her care, thank you so much.
Reply from Jan Heti, Home Manager at Brandon ParkI am so glad to hear how your friend has improved since moving to Brandon Park, the feedback you have provided has been passed to the team which means so much to them. Thank you.

My dear mum has been a resident at Brandon Park since 2012.
The home has seen many changes over the years and each change improves beyond expectations. It is a ‘home from home’ for the residents. It also looks after the relatives and friends by making everyone welcome. The reception is bright, welcoming
and comfy. The music room, lounge and dining areas are designed for comfort for all.
The rooms are nicely decorated and residents can have personal possessions like furniture, TV, and pictures to make it feel like their own space. The rooms, public areas and gardens are kept immaculate.
The food is chosen with care for choice and if there is nothing on the menu the resident fancies, there is the opportunity for something else of choice.
The staff are amazing and manage to juggle many things and all with a smile and treat residents respectfully.
I would definitely recommend Brandon Park as a safe, caring and friendly nursing home to my friends.
Reply from Ruth French, Director at Brandon ParkIt has been a pleasure to care for your mum and for you, as a family in the 10 years, we have been at Brandon Park. Thank you so much for being such a great support for us!

From our first visit to the care home, I have always been confident that my dad would be taken care of to the highest standard. This has been the case, and I have also found that he has been treated with nothing but kindness and respect. I always look forward to visiting him, knowing that he will be

My mother was a resident at Brandon Park for the last six years of her very long life. The home was able to grant her final wish, which was to die peacefully and comfortably in her own bed. Thank you so much for the sensitive and caring way you treated Mum during her last days. I was kept informed at
every stage and your care also extended to our family during that emotional time. All the staff including management nurses and caregivers showed genuine affection for Mother. Thank you so much.

My mother was a resident in Brandon Park for the last 4 years of her long life.
She had a very happy time and enjoyed everything. She especially enjoyed the company of the carers who loved to spend time laughing, joking and singing with her as well as looking after her every need. Even when her health
and mobility was failing, they managed to put a smile on her face and she felt very much at home until the end. As I don’t live nearby it was a great comfort to me to know she was being well looked after.

Everybody at Brandon Park was friendly and helpful. My mother was kept comfortable and well looked after in the difficult last few weeks of her life. Nurses and carers would always say hello and smile and the management staff were exceptionally good and always had time for me if I needed anything, or
just needed some comforting words with regard to my mother's condition. They went the extra mile, if there was anything that my mother needed for her care. Finally, they were extra supportive, when the time came for my mother's passing and I needed a bit of looking after too. They were wonderfully sensitive, caring and helpful with what is one of the hardest transitions we are faced with in our lives. Their experience and know-how and willingness to see through processes thoroughly, without drama, were exemplary and it would be hard for me to imagine a better environment for my mother in her last days. Thank you, all of you, at Brandon Park.

My Dad spent his final days at Brandon Park where he was always treated with great respect and dignity. All the staff are so caring and compassionate and nothing is too much trouble for them. Dad was always clean and shaved and even though he wasn’t fully aware of what was happening, the staff always

My father was only in Brandon Park for two months but the care he received was second to none.

My father has been in Brandon Park for just over one year, moving there directly from West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds. He has made wonderful progress in his time at Brandon Park and is much fitter and healthier than he was before entering hospital. He feels valued and cared for by the staff and
regards them as his friends. He enjoys the interactions with the wide variety of staff and residents. His quality of life now is an improvement upon what he experienced before. I am very happy that we chose Brandon Park to be my father's home.

My mother sadly moved here over a year ago, but only sadly, as she is not with us, instead she is currently living at a fabulous place, that being Brandon Park Nursing Home. She is treated well by all the staff, who are all friendly, attentive and very professional, going above and beyond. This was
especially appreciated when my dad visited and became unwell, due to his own condition. This is like a family looking after my parents, with the extra benefit of being friends too. It is often said that friends are family you choose for yourself, here at Brandon Park, they are friends who treat you like family, yet remaining professional respectful and courteous at all times. I never wanted to put my mother in a home, but this is a home from home and my mother's condition is beyond normal care for non-professionals. It is a pleasure to go to the wonderful setting that this place is and meet the delightful staff. I have nothing but praise for them and the service provided. Thank you, is not enough.

Mum has been at Brandon Park since June 2021. Prior to that Mum was living by herself, when it became apparent Mum was struggling to look after herself. Brandon Park was our first choice and since Mum has moved there, she’s gone from strength to strength, which has been fantastic to see. Brandon Park
is located in a beautiful woodland setting, the view from Mum's room overlooks the gardens onto the park. Mum was encouraged to bring items from home, which has made her room very homely and comfortable. The staff are amazing they treat Mum with care, love and dignity, providing a safe and secure environment. Mum has Parkinson's, so it was very important that her medical issues were addressed. The nurses provide an invaluable service, which allows us peace of mind knowing Mum is well cared for. If you were to ask Mum what she likes best about Brandon Park, she would tell you… the staff, my room and the food. The transformation of Mum has been remarkable and it’s all down to the wonderful staff at Brandon Park.

(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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 23 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.
