Overall Experience
When I first arrived I was impressed by the ambience of the reception area which is light, airy and pleasantly furnished with modern furniture. All the staff are, without exception, very friendly and ready with a smile to help with any problem. All rooms are cleaned and tidied daily and clean linen supplied regularly. Food is well prepared, there is a different menu every day. These are varied and designed to meet all tastes
Activities are arranged on a daily basis plus occasional outings to places of interest, on a personal point I am very comfortable and happy here and would recommend Braemar Lodge to anyone seeking a retirement home.

Overall Experience
I have enjoyed my 2 weeks respite very much. I have felt very relaxed and enjoyed my beautiful west facing room and evening sun (when it was sunny!) Everyone here has been kind nad caring. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the activities including 2 trips out.
I came to find out how I would get on in care and now I know I would be happy to return if my situation changes and I can no longer cope at home. I would recommend Braemar Lodge to anyone.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your respite at Braemar Lodge, from the sunny, comfortable room to the caring team and engaging activities, and that you would feel happy returning in the future - we would be delighted to welcome you.

Overall Experience
My mother was due to move to Braemar on Monday 27th November. It was all very difficult at home. I rang Braemar, they had previously said to ring if needed. They jumped into action at their inconvenience & brought forward Ma's move to 9th October. They moved heaven & earth to make it happen. Ma was the first resident in the restored hall of the home. They even moved other residents to keep Ma company. Everyone was kind & welcoming. Thank you all so much.
↩Reply from Jackie Cash, Home Manager at Braemar Lodge
Thank you for sharing this kind feedback. We're so pleased the team at Braemar Lodge were able to support your mother's move. It's lovely to hear the transition felt welcoming and coordinated, and that Braemar has already become a reassuring setting for her. Your kind words mean a great deal to the whole team.

Overall Experience
My father celebrated his 100th birthday last month at Braemar Lodge. As well as hosting a party for our large family they coordinated visits from several Naval officers which made his weekend truly special. Nothing was too much trouble _ food, help from the companionship team and the manager was exemplary.
My father has been at Braemar Lodge for 2 years and we cannot fault them even through the challenges of the new build.
↩Reply from Jackie Cash, Home Manager at Braemar Lodge
Thank you for sharing such a special milestone with us. We're delighted your father's 100th birthday was so memorable and that the team could help make it truly special for him and your family. Your kind words about the care he's received at Braemar Lodge over the past two years mean a great deal to everyone.

Overall Experience
Everytime I go to see my brother, which is several times a week, I'm impressed by the warm welcome I get from reception of all the staff. They all seem to have a sense of humour, are caring and kind. Very happy with The Summer Fete the other day. A wonderful atmosphere and residents & staff seem to be having so much fun. A tribute to al the effort and imagination that had gone into organising such an event.
I feel confident my brother is being well looked after and is happy.

Review from Debbie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Braemar Lodge for over 2 and a half years now and I remain so happy with her care, as well as impressed with the whole team, where - whatever their role - everyone feels committed, caring and involved. The recent move to the new wing was managed with thought, grace, empathy and such patience and good humour - with no indication of the awkwardness and difficulty that staff themselves have experienced as they too adjusted. A very special place, and I recommend it.
↩Reply from Jackie Cash, Home M at Braemar Lodge
Thank you for your kind words about Braemar Lodge. It's been wonderful having your mother as part of our community for the past two and a half years. Knowing you're so happy with her care and the dedication of our team means a great deal to us. We're also pleased to hear you felt the recent move was handled smoothly. Thank you once again.

Of all the care homes we have visited Braemar Lodge is really the best. The staff are unfailingly kind, friendly and efficient. The rooms are beautifully appointed, very comfortable, light and airy, as are the public rooms. The meals are always tasty and varied. The nursing care is outstanding. All in all, this feels like a home from home and a very special place for our Mother to end her days, We have every confidence in the staff and are grateful for its provision.

My 102-year-old mum has been at Braemar Lodge for well over two years. Throughout that time, she has been extremely well cared for. Facilities and activities are excellent and the staff are brilliant. There are regular communications from the home which keep relatives in touch with what's going on. All in all, we couldn't have expected or asked for a better home for Mum. Thank you.

Overall Experience
As a wife of a patient, I found the care home extremely friendly, always cheerful, helpful and caring. I trusted them completely to look after my husband, who had broken his ankle and was in a cast. I could visit whenever I chose, also friends. Staff were always there and helpful. Excellent chef. It was a two week stay. Happy to recommend the care home where my husband stayed to any of my friends.
