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
Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Brandon House

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.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Brandon House

Mark, thank you for leaving us feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your experience was not a positive one, we strive for 100% satisfaction, and we regret to find out that this was not the case.

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.

My Mum went into Brandon house with dementia and nursing care needs in September 2022. I can honestly say this home has been great. The staff are really sensitive, kind and caring, they are always around and they always know where my Mum is.
The home is quiet and peaceful and has good facilities.
The food is nice, homecooked on-site, and the tea and coffee are endless!
The place is small which means you get to know people and staff well. Mum has settled in well and I am sure is being well looked after when I'm not there.
I would thoroughly recommend it.

My mum was admitted at Brandon House, a few months ago. I couldn't ask for a better place. She's happy, she feels safe and she has put so much weight on since she's here.

My husband has been a resident at this lovely nursing home for the past six years. I cannot express how happy I am with my husband's care. The manager and her staff are so loving and nothing is ever too much trouble. They recently decorated the home and bought new furniture. The activities coordinator

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.082)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.082) 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 4.3 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.330 for Brandon House is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.33
  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 4.752 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brandon House is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.952
  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.
