Review from Joy W (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My parents have belonged to the Dovehaven care group for a period of years and are now living in The Brunswick Care Home, Southport.
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.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at The Brunswick

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

Overall Experience
My friend spent approximately 18 months in the home and was always treated with great care and respect.
The staff went above and beyond in their care and attention to their needs.

I would have no hesitation in recommending long-term or respite care.

Review from T M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law is currently residing at The Brunswick; she initially went for a short period of respite but has stayed.
We find the staff welcoming, helpful and cheery. They are caring and patient with my mother-in-law.

The position of The Brunswick is excellent, with easy access to the streets for a stroll with a wheelchair or sitting in the beautifully decorated lounges looking out and watching the world go by.

Once council funding was confirmed the 'moving in' was straightforward forward and mum received a warm welcome. All the staff encountered so far have been very friendly and helpful. The communal areas are warm and cosy and the food has been highly commended by mum. Mum is happily settled here. Happy mum = happy family. Well staff home and competent team.Very pleased! Thank you.

Review from Terry M (Son of Resident) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum came to stay at The Brunswick after a hospital stay. From the moment she arrived it was clear how caring the team are. They got to know Mum very quickly and were calm, friendly and reassuring about the care she would get.
They are knowledgeable and attentive about each resident and always have time to stop and let you know how things are.

Our family are very much at ease knowing that Mum is being cared for excellently 24 hours a day. She has settled very well.

Review from Bernadette N (Friend of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.
