A wonderful home for mum - mum has now been at Brancepeth Court for three weeks, and we honestly can't believe the difference in her. At 96, and with advanced Alzheimer's, she is incredibly frail and we know her overall condition isn't going to improve but what has changed is how peaceful, content and cared for she seems. Previously, mum was largely bedbound. Here she is encouraged to get up each day, enjoy a routine and spend time with others. She has company around her, which has made such a difference to her lonliness, and she has even started doing word searches. She is always clean and beautifully cared for, with her hair washed, nails cut and polished, and every effort made to preserve her dignity. the home is exceptionally clean, the food and drinks are excellent, with fresh pureed meals prepared for her, and the staff are kind, attentive and genuinely caring. Knowing mum is safe, comfortable and surrounded by people who treat her with such kindness and dignity is an enormous relied to our family, we are so grateful to everyone who cares for mum.

My father is elderly and does need a lot of care as he is quite unwell. Every single care home staff members, including the nurses, are outstanding. I visit regularly and see they all work extremely hard. Sometimes there are not enough staff for the ratio of residents and I have mentioned that. The manager on Brancepeth appears to work long hours. She is very approachable and, when I;ve had some complaints, she does everything she can to help Dad & I. I had to complain about the food as it was inedible and previously had to buy fish & chips, pie etc for Dad. A new cook was soon employed and she is brilliant. The parking is appalling as is the actual road as there are large holes & gaps and my car has felt the brunt of it. Don't understand why some cement can't be made to fill large holes.

Thank you for your honest review, we value all feedback that can help us improve the service we deliver. We will ensure that we pass your lovely comments on to all of the staff team. Our staffing levels are generated by a trusted dependency tool that generates safe staffing levels to meet the dependency of all residents However, we have recently introduced an additional member of staff to work across the home for extra support. I am glad your now happy with the food quality and the difference our new cook has made. Now that the weather has improved you will be pleased to know that the pot holes have been filled within the car park. Again thank you for your review and we will continue improve any areas of the service needed to ensure the best service for our residents.

Brancepeth court delivered that in abundance. Every single member of this team treat him with care and compassion they promised and kept his privacy and dignity at all times.
We were kept up to date with any changes in his care plan and if anything was needed, it was acted upon without hesitation.
In his last few hours he was never left alone. The love and emotion that was felt from all the team that night is etched in our hearts.
To the Management and staff - you are one amazing team.
No where is ever perfect, but in our eyes you are.
Well done!!.

My Dad spent time at Brancepeth as a step down from hospital 2 years ago. Continued ill health has now led him to be a full-time nursing resident. He is 87 and extremely frail. He was recently in hospital again and, on returning to Brancepeth, said how lovely it was to be returning 'home'. The staff are wonderful, caring and so friendly - both to me and to my Dad. He couldn't be in a better place.

You can really tell they care about the people they look after. They made him feel comfortable, cared for and genuinely loved and that meant the world to us as a family.
We're so grateful for everything they did. They gave him the best care we could have wished for.

Mum was admitted via crisis to Brancepeth Court. Was treated with warmth & respect by everyone she came into contact with. The senior carer, Janie, went above and beyond to help not only Mum but myself feel reassured. Residents seem happy and cared for (loved). Lots of activities and interaction among residents, staff and visitors. Felt listened to by everyone. Lovely, friendly home. Mum would have stayed, but we needed her closer to us. Thank you.

On every visit we can see how much the care workers, kitchen staff and all workers are attentive to our mum's needs.
It's such a joy to visit and also to see how happy our mum is - for this we will be forever grateful and full credit to all the care team. MUCH APPRECIATED and THANK YOU
My grandmother never settled here. When she was in hospital on end of life care, a substantial amount was taken from her room. No CCTV in the corridors to support officers in their investigations. I would not put another family member here.

Hi, I’m very sorry to read your review and to hear that your grandmother didn’t settle with us. We fully understand how difficult this time was for you.

Hi, I’m very sorry to read your review and to hear that your grandmother didn’t settle with us. We fully understand how difficult this time was for you. Regarding the concern raised seven months ago, no evidence was found to show that anything had been taken from your grandmother’s room; however, we acted in good faith and provided the amount you believed was missing. We cooperated fully with police enquiries, and no wrongdoing by the service was identified. We also prioritise residents’ dignity and privacy, which is why CCTV in corridors is not appropriate in our care setting. We are sorry you feel this way and remain committed to providing transparent and compassionate care.

After always promising my mam not to place in a care home, we had no other choice than to do this for her own safety, after only 1 week of staying here she was so settled and happy, receiving the best care from lovely staff members, weight gain was very important & within weeks gained nearly a stone in weight. Every member of staff are a great asset to the team, manager is so helpful and approachable with any problems we faced. Myself & siblings have utmost peace of mind knowing how happy our mother is.

As a daily visitor, I find the home has a warm and welcoming environment. The carers and nurses always have a smile on their face and this is reflected in their care towards the residents. They are a credit to their profession.
A lot of effort was put in to make the home festive for the Christmas period, including the staff who entered fully into the spirit of Christmas. An excellent dinner was served up for Christmas Day and all the residents received presents from the home.
The activities staff work very hard and provide a varied selection of activities, especially in the run-up to Christmas. The kitchen staff also work hard to provide delicious, home-cooked meals and varied snacks.
I find the environment of Brancepeth has contributed to my wife's speech recovery which had previously lapsed. Now that my wife is a resident here, I'm confident her health and well-being will continue to improve.
Thank you for your kind words which I have shared with the entire team! It is our privilege to care for your wife at Brancepeth Court and it's always a pleasure to see you when you visit.
From the very first 10 minutes I was in the home, I knew this was where my wife was going to be cared for. I met a team leader and a nurse and their professionalism and support meant I didn't need to see the room. I decided there and then that this is where I wanted my wife to be. My decision to...
From the very first 10 minutes I was in the home, I knew this was where my wife was going to be cared for. I met a team leader and a nurse and their professionalism and support meant I didn't need to see the room. I decided there and then that this is where I wanted my wife to be. My decision to have my wife cared for at Brancepeth Court was proved correct straight away. The whole team, from carers, nurses, cleaners, cooks and management, deserve praise for their love, care, professionalism and dedication to their clients. A massive well done to them all.
Thank you, Peter, for your lovely words which I have passed on to the whole team. It was a pleasure to have your wife with us.
Being a younger resident I was dreading my time in respite and a time to heal in bed as I thought I would be stuck in my room with my broken leg watching a television. Luckily for me, the staff encouraged me to spend time mixing with the other residents during activities and meal times which helped...
The staff from cleaners, handymen, carers, cooks and domestic all have a polite and courteous manner and are always trying to assist you as best they can.
Compared to other care homes I have stayed in Brancepeth has excelled in their activities provision they really try to think outside the box at times which can be seen by the website and displays.
When it came to meal and snack times there was always a choice of homemade meals available which were delicious.
This by far has been my most comfortable care home experience I would definitely recommend Brancepeth to anyone who is looking for an exceptional care home.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you with us, and we're delighted to hear you enjoyed your time here. Please know that you're always welcome to stop by for a visit anytime.
