I have found the home always clean and tidy. The staff are excellent with the people they are caring for.
I would hope with better summer weather, there will be a few more activities, but realise this is sometimes difficult to organise.
All in all, an excellent care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum became a full-time resident in August 2008, yes, 2008 and has just passed away after 14 years of care at the home and to survive an extra 14 years after a massive stroke, which sadly left her paralysed down the right side and unable to speak properly, says a heck of a lot at how good this care
home is and how settled she was at living here. I have been part of her care since day one and up till lockdown I was at the home taking her out for hours each day and she was always happy to get back for her routine of being back for around 4.30pm and of course to get her fave seat at the dining area, which for over 13 years was in Linwell house. Things now are getting back to normal and the management team is spot on and always good to listen and get things done, the regular long-term staff that I know and my mum knew really well never had a bad word for anyone. My mum passed away in the best place, the way she wanted with dignity and respect and love from the staff, thanks to all.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
There doesn't appear to be much stimulation/entertainment for residents. Clothes are often mixed up. There is an issue with access to the lounge post covid. Families are not allowed to enter the lounge. This has become distressing for residents at the end of a visit, as you are unable to take them into
the lounge to settle before you leave. Currently, we are standing outside the lounge waiting for someone to take our family member in. This causes confusion and upset and seems unnecessary.
Reply from Paul Lawson, Customer Service Manager at Braemount Care Home

Hello and thank you very much for your review. We appreciate all of your feedback and also the high scores for care, cleanliness, safety, food and staff. Unfortunately we are not yet at post Covid stage and continue to follow Public Health guidance in order to safeguard Residents from Covid which includes the wearing of face masks, socially distancing visiting families from each other and asking them to avoid the Resident's communal areas. We understand this is not ideal and hopefully, the remaining restrictions will be further relaxed once the latest wave of infections passes and the virus becomes more manageable. We have a full entertainment and activity team within the Home which may not be evident during mealtime (or immediately before or after) and we would be happy to share our program with you. Apologies for any laundry issues experienced, this does happen on the odd occasion in a large care home but hopefully, we get it right the vast majority of the time. Thanks again.

My experience of the care my husband has had since he came into care has been very good. The staff and activities coordinator has made him feel more at home and have taken away most of his anxieties. He has settled in with all the staff and I can't fault anything of the care only that there's no shower
in his room and that he has to share bathing facilities.

The rooms look as if they have not been updated for years. My dad's wardrobe has ladies clothes, not his own. When you go there, trying to get in or out is a nightmare. I don’t feel I get enough information on how my dad is. I know my dad is getting worse, but how much they never tell me.

Let us start by saying “Who saw that coming?” Covid we mean and the varying degrees of difficulties we all experienced. We as a family are so grateful for the care all of the staff who have selflessly given to our mum during what has also been an extremely stressful time for the staff and their families.
We cannot overstate what this has meant to us and the dedication you have all shown during and as we come out of this challenging time. Thank you is such a small statement, but thank you with all of our hearts!

Hello Andy. Thank you very much for your kind comments and for your patience, support and compassion over the recent challenging times. Our Residents mean the world to us and your words of appreciation are very much appreciated by the whole team at Braemount. Best wishes

My grandfather has been a resident at this care home for a few years now. I have no concerns whatsoever for his care. The staff is lovely, one young girl, in particular, she goes above and beyond and the care she shows is incredibly touching. It's good to know my grandfather is in good hands and looked
after as it puts out minds to ease a little. I thank you all for everything you do, especially in these tough times we face just now. Stay safe everyone and keep up the good work.

At a very difficult time, when my husband could no longer be cared for at home, the staff were very caring and made the transition easier for me. I could see that he was being well cared for. His dementia is severe and he needs a high level of care. The premises and individual rooms are homely and welcoming.
This is very important.

Since my wife has been in Braemount, I can see she is well looked after. Things have improved over the past 18-months. The staff seem to be kind and caring. There are times during my visits they seem under pressure and in need of another pair of hands. It makes me a little concerned, but they are hard-working
and good at their duties. I am pleased to have chosen Braemount for her care.

Couldn't have found a nicer friendlier environment for my mum. The staff (and I speak as a retired nurse) are so friendly and attentive to my mum's needs. Nothing is too much for them, the environment around the complex is not well maintained and a lovely place to take my mum to sit in the nicer weather.
Lots of activities are arranged for the residents, including a new vehicle for speaking face to face. I live 400 miles away but I can sleep easy knowing my mum is being well cared for.

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.
