Review from Claire B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum is a service user at the Brunswick. She has made lovely relationships with the carers and other residents. The Brunswick team are highly qualified, friendly, empathetic and very welcoming. My mum enjoys all the activities that are on offer and enjoys her day trips out having fun and socialising. They are also very proactive in encouraging my mum's independence and mental capacity. I am very pleased with the care my mum receives at the Brunswick.

Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Communications & Marketing Manager at The Brunswick

Carers are fantastic. So loving, caring and fun, and will always make sure residents are happy and well. Activities for the residents are amazing and well-thought out, with a monthly rota of activities which include going on day trips.

Residents are made to feel comfortable in a clean, safe environment. All staff are extremely helpful and will cheer up residents with laughter and love.

Mum moved in on the 23rd July 2025, I haven't seen her happy in a long while, her health has improved and her outlook on life is so much better and it's all down to the staff and the delicious food that The Brunswick provide, The staff are fantastic with mum and she is so happy, the activity coordinator always goes above and beyond and every resident loves all the staff they get to do, they make you feel like part of the family.

Review from Sue H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Dad came to the Brunswick nearly 3 years ago. During that time his mixed dementia sadly worsened and his needs became greater as time passed. At every step of the journey, my Dad was treated with the utmost care and respect. He spent a very happy 3 years with all of the other staff. They ensured his every need was catered for. Dad was happy, safe and well cared for. I am forever thankful that when a member of staff went out to assess him in his transitional setting, that she felt Dad was right for the Brunswick, as the Brunswick was definitely the best place for his final years. It wasn't often Dad needed medical care but if he did then they ensured he was seen quickly and kept me up to date

The other residents are lovely and the atmosphere in the home is that of an extended family. I would 100% recommend the Brunswick care home to any family worrying about finding the right place. I am forever indebted to the ladies and gentlemen who made his last years so happy

Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Marketing & Communications Manager at The Brunswick

Thank you for your lovely review and thoughtful words. It's so important to us that our residents are always treated with respect and dignity and receive an excellent standard of care, and we're proud to hear your Dad's time at the home was so happy and positive. I'll ensure your feedback is passed onto the team at The Brunswick.

Overall Experience

We moved Mum in here in July 2024, and it has been a wonderful residential home for Mum. The staff have been lovely and my sister and I will really miss them all. Mum's Alzheimer's has sadly meant she needs more specialised help, and for that reason, with heavy hearts, we have had to make the difficult decision to move her. We will miss all the fun afternoons with the staff and residents, and would recommend The Brunswick without hesitation.

The home is a wonderful place and I have found it couldn't be anywhere else for me to stay. I couldn't be any more happy to have the room I have. I feel really at home with having a lot of things I was allowed to bring with me and being able to see my visitors at any time. The staff are really very friendly and have made me feel at home.

I am a resident at the Brunswick and have been a resident for 7 years.

The home is very clean, the food is good and all the carers are lovely and if you need to speak with a carer they are very understanding and will listen to what you have to say or will help in anything they can. I give the home and all the staff and management 10 out of 10 for everything.
