Overall Experience
My dad has been in Brushwood since coming out of hospital. He is a lot happier in himself and is now walking with a frame and feeding himself, which he couldn't do when he went there.
The staff are all excellent, nothing is too much for them. I would definitely recommend this care home.

Review from Antony (Son of Resident) published on 24 October 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My beautiful Mum moved into Brushwood in September and is settled in nicely. I can't begin to say how happy the family are with the home. We have had terrible trouble in the past with certain homes which can cause worry, upset and stress on the family but finally, we feel we now have a place we can call home for our mum. Although it is still early with the move I can see the difference in mum already, she seems very happy and settled which is a massive relief to all the family. The staff are truly amazing and that includes everyone, reception, kitchen staff, nurses and of course the carers. Nothing is too much for any of the staff and they are so caring and helpful. I honestly feel she is genuinely loved by the staff. Every time I visit mum she is always having her handheld or being made a fuss over by the amazing staff. From someone who has searched years in looking for a home for there mum, I can honestly say this is the best! It's just a shame all other homes aren't this standard.
