Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was terrified at the thought of mum going into a care home as she always said, ( don't put me in a care home as) I have heard so many horror stories.
Mum has settled in so well. That's down to the staff. They go above and beyond to make sure she's clean and well looked after. I go to visit all the
time at different times and I'm met with a friendly smile and they always have time to chat and get me up to speed on mum.
I cared for mum for four years and trying to hold down a job was difficult at times but I feel a weight has been lifted and to see her happy makes me happy. I can't thank the staff enough.

Everyone is very helpful and making my gran feel comfortable. They're good at keeping us updated and let us know what's been going on, even when we haven't been there. All staff are very friendly to us and my gran. Room is always clean and very tidy making it a nice space for her to lie in. As much
as she can, she will take part in activities. They're still always giving her attention and making her feel at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We recently celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at Braemount Care Home and I couldn't be more impressed with the care and attention that went into making the day so special. The staff went above and beyond to create a wonderful, warm, and joyful celebration for him. The room was beautifully decorated,
and they made sure every detail was perfect. The staff at Braemount are always very friendly to us and it was clear they genuinely care about their residents' happiness. My dad had the best time, surrounded by friends, family, and the compassionate staff who make this care home such a fantastic place. The level of care and personal attention we witnessed reassured us that he is in excellent hands. Thank you to everyone at Braemount Care Home for turning his milestone birthday into an unforgettable memory. I wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.
Reply from Paul Lawson, National Sales Manager at Braemount Care Home

Yesterday was my father's 80th birthday. I can not thank one member of staff enough for her efforts to make his day memorable. She set up a beautiful table with a lovely tablecloth and runners, afternoon tea cake stands, flowers, plates, bowls and condiments. She organised the soup, scones, tea, coffee
and bubbles. My dad had a great afternoon surrounded by friends and family. I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff in the house for looking after him and making sure he was cared for yesterday and every day. Thank you all.

Braemount Care Home is a lovely bright accommodation for the elderly. Staff cannot do enough for the residents. I have attended the strength and balance session where residents are encouraged to take part in some light exercise, followed by a sing-song then tea and cake, giving residents a chance to
interact with one another. The open week at the end of June was very well organised and good fun for both residents and families.

I have only been visiting for a few weeks and I have found the staff in all departments very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They treat residents individually and I have seen great understanding when relating to my friend as his specific needs are different. I consider this very positive as his frame
of mind is of the utmost importance so keeping him calm and in a peaceful mood is very nice to see. I appreciate that they listen and observe his needs and work with him to make him comfortable, I am very happy with the service I have seen so far.

Review from Frances D (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly, my mum took a stroke in Jan 2021 to which she was left with her whole left side totally paralysed. She was being cared for at home, with myself and carers 4 times a day, which was great. However, she kept being admitted to hospital, scary times. Since 1st December she became a resident of Braemount
Nursing Care Home. Mum is now thriving, eating, laughing joining in with activities, bingo exercises, and had her hair cut too (lol).
The staff have brought Mum back to me again and my son his gran and my uncle his sister. I can now sleep at night knowing she is in the safe hands of the wonderful staff, from manager, nurses and caring staff, who are all looking out for Mammy. One of the staff even came on her day off at Christmas time to curl her hair, bless her. Rightly so, no one wants their family in a care home, but this one is 2nd to none in my book. So the place has made Mammy feel safe. As do I, as I know she is getting the best care around. Big thanks to Braemount Care Home, Paisley.

Lovely caring staff looking after my Mum.
The atmosphere has improved significantly in the last few months. Staff seem happier therefore residents are more content.
The environment is homely and very clean.
My Mum recently celebrated her birthday and staff made an occasion of it with a cake at
tea time with other residents.

The staff at Braemount Care Home cannot do enough for my cousin, especially in the dementia unit. I am always made very welcome when I visit and always offered refreshments. Braemount Care Home is all on one level and ideal for getting my cousin out and about. The home is well-maintained and the housekeeping
team do a great job. Visited the Bee Kind cafe which is on once a month and the food and service were excellent.
Reply from Paul Lawson, National Sales Manager at Braemount Care Home

Hello and thank you very much for your feedback. Great to hear that you feel so comfortable and welcome when you visit your cousin and that the team are looking after you so well. Lovely to see you at the Bee Kind Cafe too, it's been a very popular and successful monthly event for us. It's nice to hear that it's easy for your cousin to get in and out of the home which is the big advantage of being a multi-site with bungalows rather than different floors. Thanks again and if we can do anything further to assist either your cousin, yourself or the family, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for Braemount Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.761 for Braemount Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.761
  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 4.944 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Braemount Care Home is based on 17 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.944
  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.
