I really and truly happy here and I really like the staff. I would like to have carer to help me when I need one.

I would highly recommend this home.
Thank you so much for your recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that you have had a positive experience at The Brunswick.
We moved our dad in a few days ago, and so far everything is great. Our dad is really happy, all the staff we've met so far are very helpful. All the residents look happy and well looked after.
Thank you for your review, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards.
I am delighted with the home and the staff there have undoubtedly given them a wonderful standard of living whilst being with them.
I have no complaints about their care, indeed my parents could not wish for better care, compassion and a real depth of understanding of both of their different and differing needs. They have been treated with the utmost respect, empathy and care whilst encouraging their independence albeit limited and greatly reduced but the staff have worked hard to allow them to choose things that they are still able to. I am always informed of any changes in them- whether that is in medications, demeanour or mood swings. Any changes in physical health have been promptly dealt with and their psychological welfare has been enhanced by the attention to detail that the staff routinely show towards my parents.
Many thanks.
Thank you, your review will be very interesting to those who are searching for care for a couple. Not many homes are able to offer such care and the positive feedback you give about the experience your parents have will be invaluable. Congratulations to Kelly and her team. Kind regards
I visit my nan every week. She is very happy in The Brunswick, the staff are always very friendly. The care she gets is excellent she is always clean and well dressed. There are always things for the resident to do and the staff make everyone feel welcome. I feel my nana is in safe hands.

From the first day I came to view, the staff have been helpful and professional. There is always someone to hand to assist people. The facilities are outstanding, there is plenty of communal space and the decor is tasteful and looks expensive. Attention to detail on food is impressive e.g. crusts cut off sandwiches and colourful salad to the side. The location is perfect for shops and church. Very thankful to have found The Brunswick.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review and comments, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards.
