  • Brunswick House Nursing Home, Gloucester
Set beside the beautiful Robinswood Hill Country Park, Brunswick House is a welcoming 1940s mock Tudor home offering tailored care and heartfelt support. Whether you're looking for residential, nursing, dementia, respite, day or palliative care, the experienced team is here to make every day that little bit easier – and a lot more joyful.

Care needs may change over time. That’s why Brunswick House offers both residential and nursing care, meaning residents can continue to live in the same familiar surroundings even as their needs evolve, with no disruption or need to move elsewhere.

Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, many with en-suite facilities, and the home has plenty of shared spaces to enjoy – including two lounges, a bright and airy conservatory, and a peaceful courtyard and garden that’s perfect for sunny afternoons or catch-ups with family.

There’s always something going on – from visits to local animal sanctuaries and interactive storytelling sessions, to themed afternoons and gardening clubs. Every activity is optional and thoughtfully planned to suit different tastes and abilities.

Mealtimes are another highlight, with freshly prepared dishes cooked on-site each day by the talented in-house chef. Menus are shaped around residents’ preferences and dietary needs – because good food and good care go hand in hand.

Brunswick House is more than a care home. It’s a place where people feel known, valued, and genuinely cared for.

Review from C C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home has given our father exceptional end of life care. He had dementia and cancer and was failing at his own home. As soon as he came into Brunswick House he seemed to improve so much, no more depression, good regular meals and the level of personal care was exceptional.
The staff contacted
us immediately if there were any issues and we are sure he survived as long as he did due to the wonderful care he received.
Mum survived him in the same home and is so happy.
Reply from Liana Birkett, Director at Brunswick House Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to review Brunswick. We are so glad your father improved whilst with us and that your mother is now happy with us too. This is lovely to hear and we will be sure to pass this on to all the staff.

Staff are always very friendly and offer a cup of tea. Usually, someone is present doing encouraging activities and including as many residents as possible.

Review from Victoria G (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care is satisfactory. The home is very clean, staff good with my mother.
The activities are getting better now they have a new lady taken over, they never had any for a few months which was poor. Hopefully, will get better after talking to the new coordinator who has arranged activities.
I think
daily activities are important to their well-being.

Review from J S (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whenever I visit, the staff they always update me on my mothers day explaining if there had been any problems or if she's been down in the lounge instead of staying in her room.
When food/drinks are served they always explain to mum what the choice is carefully so she can hear them and if I ask for
any help/advice/or if things are not working properly it is no problem to sort for me, if they can or they ask nurse/manageress to advise me.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Brunswick House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.794 for Brunswick House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.794
  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 Brunswick House 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:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, 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.
