I am so happy that I chose Braeburn Lodge for my mum’s residential care. The care staff and the admin staff have been fabulous in every way and they understand the anxiety of the relatives! I feel that I am welcome to call anytime with worries or questions. My mum is on the dementia floor and is able
to join in many activities with the other residents, visit the cafe, go out in the mini-bus and relax in the lovely garden. Her room is fabulous, she feels well cared for and regards the carers as her friends!

The staff at Braeburn Lodge are fantastic. They are helpful, friendly and polite. The home itself is welcoming and bright. It has lovely communal areas with well-organised entertainment. All the ground floor rooms have access to beautiful well-maintained garden space. We really cannot thank the staff
enough for everything they have done during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

My husband was a resident in Braeburn Lodge. During his brief stay, he became ill and was moved to the nursing wing. Sadly he died at the beginning of January 2021, but while he was in Braeburn Lodge he received excellent nursing care. The staff were kind and carried out all nursing procedures with
professional care and gentleness. He was kept comfortable at all times. The staff were always kind and considerate to me and always supportive.

Review from L L (Son of Resident) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad had a catastrophic stroke and unable to return home so we made the difficult decision for him to go into a nursing home as he needs 24/7 care. This home is great and dad is cared for in the best possible way, he is treated with the most utmost respect and dignity anyone could wish for. All the
nursing staff are great and very knowledgeable. The home itself is very modern, spacious and clean, the stigma of an old care home does not apply here. During Covid, we have still managed to visit dad following strict measures and we are very happy that the home is taking all the best precautions whilst still enabling visitors. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone who needs a lot of nursing care. 10/10.

Absolutely wonderful, I came in trepidation. Given warm welcome and have been amazed at the wonderful way in which the carers cared for me, so kind, nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was satisfactory but not the best.
1) As a diabetic, I found desserts could have been more varied.
2) Vegetables
often undercooked. But chef made me a delicious Birthday cake, I was so grateful. I am looking forward to returning.

Since my mother has lived at Braeburn Lodge Care Home, she has begun to live again.
The daily activities programme has provided fun and stimulation.
The food is outstanding and proves t be a daily highlight.
However the kindness, support, generosity and willingness of all staff to 'go the extra mile'
is what makes Mum's new care home a safe and supportive environment.
A unique place; a gem of a care home.

Braeburn Lodge and the staff are truly amazing. My mother moved here after 5 years in another care home. I knew straight away this was a good place for her to reside. I wish she had moved sooner. The nursing care is professional and compassionate and outstanding. I am really impressed by the communication
between the staff and myself. The home is clean and well maintained. I cannot comment on the activities as mum is not really involved as yet but the programme looks entertaining.

I honestly cannot fault the staff, they truly do an amazing job. The home is caring, clean and welcoming to both residents and family visiting. My Nanny was well looked after and happy which was a huge reassurance for the family. It’s not just a job for the staff working there, they care and do such
a fab job at making the residents feel loved and happy. Even at the end, the staff were sensitive and respectful, looking after Nanny and us, something I truly appreciate and won’t ever forget. I’m just pleased this is where Nanny got to stay, thank you for making it such a positive experience for her.

You now have an amazing team of staff who give a high standard of care to each resident, treating everyone with compassion and dignity. We would highly recommend this care home. The staff go out of their way to provide the personal care that is needed and also to their families. We couldn’t wish for
better care for my mum in her final stages of life. We will be coming back to see you all.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On entering Braeburn Lodge there is a feeling of brightness and activity (and a welcome from the receptionist). My fortnightly visits over 2 1/2 years have included speaking with residents in their rooms. I have been able to notice staff dealing with residents politely and appropriately and observed
various ways in which residents interests may be gained (celebration of special days, outings etc). Only occasionally have I heard any complaint about the resident having to wait for attention and this has not been in the recent past.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since moving our mother into Braeburn Lodge we have seen a vast improvement in both her health and state of mind.
She had had two very difficult years trying to cope with my father who had Dementia and the loss of her eldest along with her own problems.
She now smiles again.
She has made friends
with residents and has several BFFs and has a bond with some of the carers that is unbreakable.
There have been a few minor problems but they have been easily rectified.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.054)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.054) out of 10 for Barchester Braeburn Lodge 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.771 for Barchester Braeburn Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.771
  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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Braeburn Lodge Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583
  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.
