My impression of this home is that it is a happy, positive, caring environment.
You get that feeling as soon as you go in, and my interactions with staff and residents back that up. That is a credit to the whole team in Brackenfield, who work hard to create that atmosphere. The residents, including
my Dad, all seem to appreciate this. The building is bright and clean, and is a comfortable place to be with good facilities. All in all moving to Brackenfield was a really good choice for my Dad, giving him the extra support that he needed in a caring positive environment.

After several falls at home, I came in for restbite and decided was happy at Brackenfield and decided to become a permanent resident. The home is close to my family & friends, is very clean, comfortable and offered on site facilities and is clean, bright and comfortable this made my transition easy.
I have a beautiful room that overlooks the lovely garden. I have been able to bring some of my own furniture and pictures to make it more like my own home. The meals/food are more that addiquate, plenty of choice and is hot. The laundry facilities are very good and I am able to use the salon to have my hair done, still se my own doctor as he visits weekly. The acctivities when run are good & engaging.

This was the first time my Mum had been looked after by someone else and the first time we had used restbite, so it was really important to us that she was well looked after and we had a good experience. Brackenfield did not let us down and we are as happy as we could be with the care and service provided.
The
home was clean, bright and welcoming and the staff were excellent. Everyone we met including the carers and team leaders and managers were so friendly, informative, supportive and helpful, and most importantly they were all equally great, patient, polite and caring to my mum.
I would highly recommend Brackenfield Hall and they made our first experience of a carehome a perfect one.

I am so pleased that Mum is in such a lovely home. She has been here over 2 years now, after initially having 2 respite stays. I cannot recommend it highly enough. On arrival it always smells lovely, it's so welcoming & every member of staff always greets you with a smile & a chat. I know I can go to
anyone if I have any issues & they are always resolved quickly. The carers are so kind & thoughtful & work very hard. The food is great & Mum loves the puddings. Choosing Brackenfield Hall was the best decision for Mum & as a family we're so happy that she is happy & settled here.

As a family we are please my Nan is in such a comfortable and homely place. My Nan used to visit for some respite days before becoming a resident and has now been in over 2 years.
All the staff are so welcoming and friendly when I have been to visit with it always looking so clean and tidy.
They are
always doing some form of activity too keeping residents busy and if there are ever any issues you can easily go to any staff member for help. My Nan is happier in Brackenfield as she has made friends with the other residents and staff, it was the best thing we could have done for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family and I are deeply grateful for the wonderful care my grandparent received at Brackenfield. From the very beginning, the staff treated him with kindness, dignity, and respect. They not only provided excellent medical and personal care, but also made every effort to ensure he felt comfortable,
valued, and at home.
What stood out most to us was the compassion shown by the entire team. They took the time to get to know him as a person, not just as a resident. Whether it was sharing a laugh, patiently listening to his stories, or simply sitting with him when he needed company, their presence made such a difference in his final months.
The facilities were always clean, safe, and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt warm and supportive. Communication with our family was clear and thoughtful-we always felt informed and reassured that he was in good hands.
Our family would recommend Brackenfield to anyone!

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I've read lots of the reviews of Brackenfield Hall and I don't recognise them as being about the care home that my mum lived in for 9 months. The ground floor area always seemed nice and had a good atmosphere but totally different to the EMI unit on the 1st floor which is where my mum was. There never
seemed to be enough staff to cope with the number of dementia residents. My mums room was frequently dirty and on a few occasions I found poo and incontinence pads on the floor in her room. Often the door to her room was locked but no one could tell me why that was. All of her clothes and bedding were meticulously labelled but no one seemed to take any notice of that. From day 1 none of the bedding sets I'd bought were used, they all just vanished. Fundraisers for the unit never seemed to result in any improvements and activities seemed to rarely happen.Visiting at mealtimes is strictly forbidden whereas at other care homes it is encouraged. My mum was simply neglected here.

My mother moved into Brackenfield Hall on 1st September 2020 during Covid. Unfortunately we could not see the premises due to Covid restrictions so we were taking a risk.
Mum needed care away from people with Dementia and this was the only home I could find where the care side was completely separate
to the Dementia side.
We could not have found a better home, from the care Mum was given through to the staff and management, all have been exemplary. The home is always very clean, tidy, well kept and decorated.
Mum reached her 100th birthday in March and the party the staff put on for her was excellent and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mum passed away on the 9th July and again the care and attention the staff gave was exemplary.
As a family we had the comfort of knowing all the time Mum was at Brackenfield that she was being cared for and looked at after, which was a great comfort for us.
We can highly recommend Brackenfield Hall to anyone who either needs care or who have dementia.

My mum was at Brackenfield for the remaining years of her life. She was looked after well and her stay was made enjoyable for her by caring staff, good food and catering to her basic needs . We visited daily at Brackenfield and was always pleased with the care. Cleanliness was always paramount and in
particular 3 members of the care staff work above and beyond for my mum. All staff were good and willing to help also.
Thank you for all the care and support.

It is almost a year since Mum moved into Brackenfield Hall as a resident and the difference this has made to her wellbeing is amazing. Mum has settled in really well and feels safe and comfortable in her new home with en-suite facilities and all her needs catered for. The staff are so caring and nothing
is too much trouble for them. We are so pleased we chose Brackenfield Hall and have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Brackenfield Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.913 for Brackenfield Hall is calculated as follows: ( (547 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 560 Ratings = 4.913
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brackenfield Hall is based on 46 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
