Pendle Brook Care Home

Honestly, my mum came to Pendlebrook three years ago. She had lots of issues and physical needs. Mum is in the capable and caring hands of all the wonderful staff at Pendle brook. We are a happy family know mum is in good hands. Thankyou

I should also like to mention and thank all the staff, house keeping and chefs. Excellent

My Grandparents have both been residents at Pendlebrook with very different needs and their care has been second to none. The care my grandad received at end of life was incredible, all the staff made time to come and sit with him and ensure he was as comfortable as possible right to the end. My Nan enjoys the vast amount of activities available and her room is clean and modern. No matter what time I turn up, day or night, the staff are friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this care home.

The staff are always happy and smiling and nothing seems too much trouble. We really look forward to visiting her and are always made welcome by everyone.

Mums been in since October 2024, all I can say is she has been made very welcome and very comfortable. Cared for with great respect and she absolutely loves the place, she calls it paradise. As a family we are so pleased to see mum being cared for 24/7 it gives us great peace of mind.

Mum calls Pendle Brook paradise. I also think it is. Couldn't ask for better staff, better location and a better care home. The activities are exceptional, her every need is met. My aunty is also a resident in Pendle brook and she also enjoys living there. It gives us as a family peace of mind knowing she is being well looked after.

My gran received exceptional care during her time at Pendle Brook. The staff were consistently kind, patient, and attentive, treating her with genuine respect and compassion. The home had a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and we always felt reassured knowing she was in safe hands. Communication with the family was excellent, and we were kept informed and involved every step of the way. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and there was always a range of activities to keep residents engaged. We are so grateful for the love and support the team showed my gran, they were more like family than staff.

I just had to write this review my mother came to Pendle Brook (25/11/24), it has been marvelous the care is second to none, the feeling of nothing is too much trouble, I know and now feel settled and not worried as my mum is safe and truly cared for. On an occasion last week Sunday, my husband and I saw a care member of staff taking a tray of crisps, biscuits into the lounge area for residents, how lovely treats in an afternoon watching television. Just like we do at home, the activities every week, marvelous, the social media page, brilliant, please pass this to the bosses. Thank you.

Love this place!

As a newish resident, my mum has struggled with the change having been so independent all of her life. Mum's feelings of having lost her independence are difficult to deal with and although the carers do their very best, Mum can be challenging like most dementia patients in their 90th years I'm sure. The staff are lovely although there seems to have been a high turn over over the last 8/9 months which isn't helpful. The quality of care and kindness from all staff is truly appreciated. Mum's needs have been continually assessed and her care plan tweaked accordingly to make it right for her and us. Staff have been incredibly supportive of me as a daughter. Truly grateful. Thank you.

My wife is in this care home which has very bright & modern rooms & food and very good staff, also very good. The dementia cafe & entertainment are excellent. Her items sometimes get lost but that seems to be the case with most care homes.

My wife was in for about 7 weeks before having to be taken to Hospital. The overall impression is of a lack of staff, and that it's being run for profit, not necessarily for the benefit of residents. Security is not helped by the fact of leaving rooms open, with residents prone to rambling, and she lost several items, particularly glasses and dentures, within days, and it continued. There never seemed enough staff, mostly reactive, with one appalling incident of neglect, for which fulsome apologies were given and accepted. Most of all, management is remote from the action, making it very difficult to properly operate, as is acknowledged. A Care Home should be caring and proactive, not give an impersonal impression. The good staff are unfortunately let down by the poorer. I have been caring full-time for my wife who, as an ex-private nursing Home Matron, would have been appalled at some of the activity.

Mother in law left in room unwashed not dressed at 2pm. Never anything going on for entertainment don’t even put tv on for her. Furnishings getting tatty. Mums sheets dirty full of stains. No regular staff who can say how she is doing and most have poor language skills. Seems to be the dementia floor worst as other floors have better reviews. Never liked this home, no friendly atmosphere residents just seem to be left. we would move her but her daughter has picked this home.

Nan has had an amazing quality of life since living here and we are really appreciative of all the care and support you give.

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Happy residents are always clean and tidy. Entertainment is second to none always something going on. Visitors are always made welcome. Easy location with parking. Easy access is always open, excellent.

My mum has just become a permanent resident at Pendle Brook, she has been there since November 23, and the change in her has been amazing, every member of staff is so professional and very friendly and I know that my mum is being looked after. The care home keeps me up to date with everything regarding my mum or any concerns, her room is bright and clean and my mum is so happy there. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of her, they are all amazing. I've even got to know some of the residents there myself and it's so nice to see everyone each time I go and visit my mum. What an amazing care home. Thank you so much to every member of staff who works there.

Absolutely fantastic home, wonderful staff who make you feel so at home. The home is spotlessly clean and the food is a good standard. It is a large home but feels really homely. I would recommend the home to anyone, the manager is lovely and the staff on the bottom floor are outstanding, nothing is too much trouble for them.

Beautiful home which is meant to offer a 5-star care package, unfortunately, this is not the case. From the day my father was taken to this home, I had to ask and question the staff about his care, even the most basic care. Usually, a care home is supposed to provide families with reassurance that their loved ones are not in safe hands, but this was never the case for our family. I would most definitely not recommend this care home at all. My father did not even get the most basic care (we had to ask for him to be cleaned, we had to provide his own incontinence pads because assessments were not done, we had to ask staff to help feed him as he had lost so much weight, we had to ask for supplement drinks, we asked for a doctor to be phoned to come to the home for 5 days, this never happened. Every day was a heartbreaking battle, even when the senior staff were asked if they could meet his needs. This is not a 5-star care home. Please don't leave your loved ones here.

We attend the dementia cafe on a Tuesday. It's a lovely facility provided by the care home and we look forward to attending each week. Lovely staff, they are kind, friendly and helpful. very clean, hygienic and excellent activities.

Recently been able to visit my 98-year-old mother on a weekly visit. Always greeted with a smile and chat. All staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Despite PPE, it's always a pleasure to visit. I would certainly recommend the home if asked to.
