As always we were greeted by the friendly staff. Our aunt was tired and sleepy but obviously well cared for.

Throughout September and proceeding months
I have been very happy with the care and comfort shown towards my mother
In particular one of the carers (Jayne) has been lovely towards my mother demonstrating a caring and joyful approach which has brough a smile to my mothers face.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family-and most importantly my mum-are very happy with Brandon House (BH). Although she has only been there a month, she already feels so settled it seems much longer. Mum moved there as she is unable to live independently and is living with terminal cancer. From day one she has been cared for with
dignity, kindness, and compassion, and we feel complete confidence in her care. Her room is bright and comfortable, with her own possessions making it feel like home. She can enjoy her hobbies in her own space and, with support using a hoist and wheelchair, can also join others in the communal areas, garden, and social spaces when we visit. BH is clean, modern, smells nice, and we've been advised of exciting future plans. Mum praises the food and has regained weight after losing much during a hospital stay, which is reassuring. Every staff member has been friendly, attentive, and supportive-we are grateful for the kindness shown to both Mum and our family.

I came to visit my brother for the first time at Brandon House on 27.8.25 with my sister. I can happily say every single member of staff we met were friendly, helpful & welcoming. My brother seemed very well cared for and happy. There was a really homely feel to the place & everywhere was very clean
& tidy. His room seemed very adequate & comfortable & I left feeling he was in a good place.

My brother has been very lucky to now be under the care of Brandon House. Although noone knows BSL they have all gone out of their way to communicate successfully with him (he is profoundly deaf). Every member of staff, without exception, is kind, helpful & always making time to help us. My brother
loves his food & seems very happy with Brandon House's meals!

It is a daunting task looking for a care home for a loved one. I can honestly say that everyone that I have met has been wonderful/welcoming people. The manager explained everything involved in the transition from hospital for my mother. Care staff have treated my mother with dignity and respect. There
are works ongoing to redecorate certain areas. The environment is very clean and welcoming. Food is cooked on site and very nice. Even though my mother's appetite is small every effort is made to encourage her to eat. A huge relief to find a homely setting with a helpful manager and great carers

I am the wife of a resident. He has been at Brandon House since 24/3/25. I have been very happy with the care that my husband is getting here. I had my doubts before he went in but I am very happy with the home the staff are very caring not just for my husband but to me also. My husband likes his good

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was looking for respite for my mum. The home isn't huge, but I actually liked that. Upon visiting to look around, it had a warm friendly atmosphere and the residents appeared to be happy. I noticed that none of the residents seemed to be left alone, unless in their rooms.
Attention to detail from
the manager with regards to mum's needs was brilliant and any concerns I had were put to rest.
The decor is a little dated, and not like the super modern, newer homes we've used in the past. However, it was clean and the room mum was allocated, had a lovely view of the garden.
All the staff were lovely and I was very happy and will be booking again in the future.

Review from Robert W (Husband of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Your opening photo of the home shows a line of conifers running down the side of the drive which was removed four years ago to comply with a CQC request at the preceding review. The reason that the CQC asked for this was to improve the view from the resident's windows. The home has just constructed
a solid timber fence to the same line and more as the conifer hedge and the same height as the conifer hedge. The visual impact for visitors and residents who live in rooms overlooking this fence is obvious. massively worse than when the hedge was there. The bin store area of the rear car park used to be tidy, however, there are additional bins and a skip outside the bin enclosure. The visual impact for residents whose rooms overlook this area is obvious. Poor.

Staff are very hard working and very caring but clearly not enough of them and feel as though my mum did not get the Dementia support which is claimed for by the home on the website and feel very let down by communication, security, medication management.
As a nursing home, I would recommend it but
for someone with needs support there needs to be some scrutiny of what the home is claiming against reality and I only hope my report to the Care Quality Commission enforces some changes. Communication is a real letdown. I would not recommend Brandon.

Very swift response to asking to view the home and ask for a place for Mum. Lovely feel to the home and all questions answered around the previous quality mark. Nothing was too much for the staff, Mum was encouraged to take part and was included in activities. Staff were lovely with the residents. Mum's
care was fabulous and she was cared for right up until her passing. Only 5 weeks, but it was the right place.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.436)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.436) out of 10 for Brandon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.436 for Brandon House is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 181 Ratings = 4.436
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brandon House is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
