I like that it is a small care home, it always feels clean and the staff are always helpful and caring. Also, there are plenty of activities/trips out that Grandma loves to be involved in.
I would definitely recommend Braeburn to anyone needing the facilities, care and comfort they offer.
P.S. Thank you for all you do for Grandma!
Thank you for your lovely review. I will share this with our wonderful staff team.
I visited my friend at Christmas and received a warm welcome from staff and some of the residents. Beautiful ambience. Lovely homemade decorations. Always look forward to seeing my friend where she is happy and cared for so well. I would be happy to come as a resident.

What a beautiful home, very welcoming and warm. The staff are so lovely and helpful. You can tell that the staff always want to have a positive impact on their residents. All the residents my mother included are very happy here.

They have many activities and Mum often goes out in the minibus to singing, coffee mornings and the riverside.

Thank you for your lovely review. It's a total pleasure having the opportunity to care for your wonderful mother.
My mother has been a resident for about two years. The best possible care has been given to her. The staff go out of their way to be helpful and are very caring They have supported both my mother and myself through the dementia trial. I would and do recommend them 100%.

She wasn't the easiest of people to deal with due to her medical conditions but received the utmost care.

Every visit is like going to visit him at home, but better. There's such a friendly, homely and community feel there. Mealtimes are like a family affair lovingly prepped by their extremely fun chef.
There's a wide range of activities both on and off-site. The garden, in Summer, is stunning too.
The staff and manager, are always available to discuss and allay any issues or queries.
Most importantly, my Grandfather couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of Braeburn Lodge, we are so very pleased to be caring for your Grandfather and knowing he has settled here so well.
Clean, caring home, giving residents a good variety of activities to participate in. Friednly, caring staff. Accomodation good, cleanliness very good.

Pa moved to Braeburn Lodge during April 2024, since then he has made excellent use of its facilities - activities and outings, a spacious room to retire to for rest and relaxation, a varied, daily menu, beautiful gardens full of colour throughout the summer months and, so important for him, plenty of laughter! The staff are professional, caring and friendly. Pa enjoys the company of residents whenever he wishes to socialise and the care team when he requires assistance or just a chat. The care itself is exemplary. Pa's 103rd birthday was a day marked by celebrations with residents, staff and visitors. The huge bonus of Braeburn is its size - small and with a 'family' feel to it. My own family are delighted that Braeburn is now home to their amazing grandpa. The care and social interaction it provides have given him a whole new lease of life.
It is an absolute pleasure to be caring for Pa! With his cheeky humour and fabulous singing in the mornings, whilst always so happy and smiling. Thank you so very much from all of the staff at Braeburn Lodge.

Thank you so very much for your lovely review and allowing Braeburn Lodge to care for your Mother, we hope Mum will take another break with us again soon.
My mother-in-law is well looked after, with the staff and management providing excellent care. She has a beautifully furnished room, coupled with great shared facilities such as a lounge and dining area for example. I am very happy with her being at Braeburn.

We were aware that in the weeks prior to our visit the residents had a very full itinerary of visits out and shows at Braeburn Lodge, the care there seems quite exceptional. Five stars all round!

I came to visit my great aunt for Xmas, she was very happily engaged in an activity when I arrived. The home looked very clean and very welcoming the staff were very inviting and looked after us very well with offering us refreshments and asked if they could get anything else for us, we sat in the dining area that had a very nice warm atmosphere and felt very much like a family home. My great aunt couldn’t stop talking about all the lovely staff and what she had been up to. I felt that my great aunt was very happy and was very well looked after.
Thank you very much for your kind review of our lovely care home. We are so pleased your aunty is very happy here.

Braeburn Lodge is a lovely, homely setting and the staff were wonderful with my husband. He was extremely well looked after and the professionalism and attention to detail about his dementia needs and contact with our GP was very reassuring. No detail was too small. There was plenty for him to do and I was very confident that he was in the best of care. I will definitely want him to go back there should the need arise again. A very high standard of cleanliness at all times in all areas of the Lodge. I can't praise the staff enough.
Thank you so very much for your lovely review of our care home. It was our absolute pleasure to care for your husband.

My mum is 93 and lives in an assisted living apartment. She fell and injured her hip and needed a period of respite care to help with medication during the day and night and support with standing and moving around. Her confidence took a severe dent and she was suffering great pain in her hip. After staying at Braeburn Lodge for six weeks, she no longer has pain in her hip and her movement is back to her pre-fall days. She has been very happy here and found the staff very nice to talk to and reassuring with her anxiety levels. There has been a lot going on over the Christmas period, which she has enjoyed no end and she has enjoyed simply sitting in the lounge and being part of the community. We've taken Mum out every week during her stay and she was always very happy to return and was always welcomed back warmly by one of the staff as she went in. Thank you to all the staff for looking after my mum so well and maintaining such a kind and caring home for your residents.
Thank you so much for sharing this review of our home, we are all so very pleased that Mum enjoyed her stay with us. We all wish her continued health and happiness.

What a lovely care home. My dad stayed for 3 weeks respite, the manager and all the staff are really attentive, caring and fun. The home is so clean and we love the dining room, all the residents sitting around one large table. The food is delicious. The staff really listened to any concerns we had relating to Dad's first stay with them. The room was spacious, plenty of storage and was spotless. Would recommend definitely recommend Braeburn Care Home.
Thank you so much for your kind review, it was an absolute pleasure caring for your father, he has such a great sense of humour and always made everyone laugh!
