At Christmas time she was to be discharged from a hospice and could no longer be cared for at home due to complex nursing needs.
I spoke to the manager and one of her nurses and she went on to make a comprehensive assessment and assured me her staff could care for Mam.
It was so difficult for us all to accept that care at home was no longer an option but all the staff on the nursing unit made the process as easy as possible with their efforts.
After extensive disease progression, Mam died this morning. My daughter and her young children were visiting and the nurse was wonderful. She called me in then went on to take the children into her care while my daughter sat with her grandma in her last moments.
In Mam's last hours the nurse had given her appropriate medicines and, most importantly, spent time with an anxious and dying lady.
There is only one chance to get it right and I shall always be grateful for this care.
Mum is very happy here, so glad we found this home.

My mother was a resident here for a short period of time but the care she received was exceptional. The managers, nurses, carers, housekeepers, admin staff, treated her with great love and affection. As a family, we can't praise them enough and made her recent passing so much easier for us. She died peacefully and with dignity.
I visit my uncle every day and I am quite happy with the care he is receiving.
The staff are so friendly to us when we visit him as a family.
The rooms are large and comfortable. A very clean establishment.

I am happy with the staff and manager. 2 weeks into my stay I am enjoying my time here. I have enjoyed activities, cooking, pamper days. I like sitting in the garden. I used to own my own home but now I have a lot of friends around me.

Bright surroundings with a good, positive atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and able to be personalised. Staff are exemplary from management, nursing and care assistants. All have a bright, positive can-do attitude and they seem to understand the needs and feelings of family and visitors as well as the resident themselves. We chose Bryony Lodge for its modern outlook and our sense of how the staff would respond to and handle my brother's needs and we have not been disappointed.
The people make you feel at home. The food is great. Also, the activities are great, so are the outings. The home is clean and tidy.

My visits to Bryony Lodge Nursing Home in recent months have always been a pleasurable experience. The staff are polite and helpful and appear happy in their working environment which promotes a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Obviously, this contributes to a positive experience for all involved - staff, visitors, and especially residents who respond well and evidently have good relationships with a member of staff who in my experience always display a caring attitude. The manager is positive and interested in the home being run to a high standard and committed to providing the right sort of care to any who come to stay. I highly recommend.
My mother has been at Bryony Lodge Nursing Home since February and I have had no complaints at all. She has Dementia and is pretty much bedbound so her use of activities/facilities is somewhat limited. Having said that the Activities boards are full and there is always a buzz. The team ask me...
My mother has been at Bryony Lodge Nursing Home since February and I have had no complaints at all. She has Dementia and is pretty much bedbound so her use of activities/facilities is somewhat limited. Having said that the Activities boards are full and there is always a buzz. The team ask me what I think mam would like to do.
The staff make me feel welcome and always treat my mother with a great level of care and respect, my mam cannot communicate but seems very settled. There has been a recent change in ownership and with that comes a change in Management/staff. I have been asked to join a recruitment panel to help with the intake of new staff, this I think is an excellent idea and the inclusion of families a big plus. Her room is nice and is always spotless, the food is varied and of a good quality.
My score of satisfactory for Value for Money is not a reflection on the charges Bryony has in place which are very competitive, but more that as a self funder I find ALL care fees extortionate
Staff are very caring and supportive and they provide a range of activities to ensure residents have a range of choices.

I always feel that the residents and families are listened to. The staff are approachable and since new management have been in, the whole home feels a lot more welcoming. I look forward to the continued improvement and also love that my husband is smiling again.

Hi, I am the Home Manager here at Bryony Lodge Nursing Home!
I am proud to say that I am a dedicated qualified registered manager I have completed QCF Level 5 in Leadership and Management. And I am fortunate to be in a position to lead such a wonderful group of staff I have worked in healthcare since I was 19 and started out as a healthcare assistant within a care home providing complex nursing care for residents, as well as rehabilitation and palliative care. I also managed a Home Care business where I provided help and support into the community.
I love my role at Bryony Lodge and take great pride in supporting the team. The nurses and the staff are a dedicated and well-established group, and are all very proactive. I live local to the care home so I have good knowledge of the area.
Our staff are what holds the home together. Each one of these team members are dedicated to providing high quality care and services to those we support, and ensuring the residents enjoy all aspects of life at our home.v
