Each bedroom offers en-suite facilities and is finished to a high standard, although occupants are encouraged to personalise their own bedrooms.

Review from Carole F (Niece of Resident) published on 16 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was suffering from cancer and had remained in her own home, with support until 3 weeks before she died. Due to a fall she was taken into hospital where her condition was naturally and rapidly deteriorating. She strongly refused all treatment and medical intervention in hospital and it was both
her wish and mine that she spend the last few days of her life at Brandon Park Nursing home. I approached Brandon Park with the hope that they would take her albeit I knew for a very short time. Regarding the home Manager, I have to say that on first meeting and also subsequent times, she filled me with confidence. She immediately visited my aunt in hospital to assess whether the care home could meet her needs, she understood both mine and my aunts wishes and helped in every way she could in a speedy transition from hospital to the nursing home. The staff and nurses at the home treat residents with respect, there is a friendly atmosphere and there appears to be varied activities available for those who wish to partake. The rooms are homely, modern and spotlessly clean and the home is in a beautiful country park setting. Obviously our experience at Brandon Park was very short, but it was a positive one in most respects. Thank you for your empathy at a difficult time for us, it was greatly appreciated.

Review from Lynn M (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is completed with my mums feed back as well. Activities are excellent (5days) but scored good as nothing at weekends. More access to outside space would be good, but I think this is being worked on. Mum loves being here.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.657) out of 10 for Brandon Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.657 for Brandon Park is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 254 Ratings = 4.657
  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 Brandon Park 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:

    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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 21 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.
