Braeburn Lodge

Braeburn Lodge could not have looked after my father better. He had severe dementia and he was extremely happy to be at Braeburn. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the way they cared for him, from the day he arrived until his passing, which they dealt with in a professional and sensitive manner. The staff are excellent, caring and compassionate. They go above and beyond to make sure that everyone in the Braeburn family is happy from the residents to their families. Even though this is a small care home plenty of entertainment and activities are provided to engage the residents. They have done a marvelous job during the most testing time that we have all had to endure under the COVID-19 restrictions. They took early action to ensure their residents stayed safe.

I don’t get to visit often, but have been made welcome on every occasion and found Grandma in a well-cared-for state every time. The accommodation always appears clean and looked after. The management and staff have taken Covid restrictions seriously and to their credit kept the virus out for many months. They were also very responsive when there was a positive test amongst staff and prevented it from spreading. I could never afford to be cared for here.

Braeburn Lodge is small and intimate with excellent staff that are always friendly, very approachable, extremely kind and attentive to all the residents and family members. It is perfect for my mum, especially with all the visiting and resident animals. The food always looks and smells absolutely fabulous. Nothing is to much trouble for anybody involved with the running/caring at Braeburn Lodge.

I cannot find enough superlatives to describe or recommend Braeburn - they are truly wonderful. So pleased to be lucky enough to find our Mum, who has dementia, a home here - and a home is what it is, in every sense of the word. Knowing that she was being cared for by her Braeburn family in lockdown, has been a massive comfort. She always looks so happy. I love the things they do from the extra steps they take to celebrate special occasions, down to day to day hands-on everyday things such as helping fold the washing - normal things. My only wish is that my Dad could have seen how happy and settled she is, despite his fears, while he was alive about how she’d cope without him. He’d have been so relieved.

The staff are very dedicated and kind. The buildings are always very clean and well maintained. Doesn't matter when you turn up you are always welcome. I would recommend this home to anyone. Thank you for all you do.

Fantastic care home - staff are caring dedicated and wonderful with the residents. Facilities are excellent and great activities provided for residents. Medical care is very good.

My grandmother moved here in 2019 after a fall at home. She loved it from the moment she walked in. The home is lovely and welcoming and the staff really are fantastic - catering for her every need. The personal service is second to none and since she has been there, she has thrived. Highly recommended.

We are still very new to the care system, Braeburn Lodge exceeds our expectations and we would recommend it without reservation.

She's settled in really well and I would definitely recommend Braeburn Lodge.

Not being previously too familiar with care homes, I was amazed at the care and comfort that my sister is receiving here. The staff are enthusiastic, caring and attentive to the residents and staff. I have dined at the Home and the food is first class. Regular outings and indoor entertainments are held. Cleanliness is superb.

We were very worried as a family how she would cope in a cared for environment. We needn't have, she is very much enjoying life, all thanks to the amazing staff.

Very friendly staff.

Excellent accommodation and staff. Happy my mother-in-law is being looked after well in her remaining years.

We are amazed at the way my mother-in-law has adapted to life in residential care and we are sure that this is in large part owing to the all-round care that she is receiving. We have been particularly impressed with the way that Braeburn Lodge has taken responsibility for her health needs, working in conjunction with her new GP. Communication from the home has been excellent both from the management and the staff.

We find our friend to be well cared for. The staff are always friendly to her and us and willing to help and answer questions. She appears to be happy and settled in the circumstances of this being a new, different experience and environment for her.

I know my husband is a difficult patient and I am really grateful for the care, patience and expertise which he is receiving. Thank you.

First time of using this or any other facility for respite care. My initial visit was very welcoming and informative. To arrange the respite care was very easy. The Lodge is very clean fresh and airy. As it’s only been open a short while as to be expected everything is in excellent order. ALL staff have been brilliant, helpful in answering my queries and thoughtful and accommodating to my mother. The activities are great with plenty of interesting outings. Food is varied and I have been delighted to see my mother eating with enthusiasm again. Big thanks to all at Braeburn Lodge for helping to make the respite care a big positive in my family’s life. Will use again without a doubt.
