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.

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
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.
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.
Thank you for your kind words. We're truly grateful to have been part of your mum's journey -Wishing your family all the best.
