My mum has been in Brackenfield Hall a little over a year now and couldn't be happier, she is eating well, joins in all the activities, likes going to watch the singers and has her hair done every week in the salon. The home is well decorated, very clean and all the staff are friendly, I'm glad Mum
is in a home where she is well looked after but most importantly, very happy.

Mum has been in the home since January 2024 and it did take a while for her and us to settle in but it is like a second home for us now and Mum sees this as her home. The staff are polite and any issues we have are dealt with. The staff are polite and caring and Mum seems very settled now.

I have visited my friend now in Brackenfield Hall for the past year and I have to say this home is amazing. The home is so welcoming and the care staff are above the rest. The home manager cannot do enough for everyone. The activities are brilliant, there was a singer on last week and she was fabulous.
My
friend just loves it.

I looked around for somewhere I thought would suit my mother. I am glad that I chose Brackenfield as it really has everything I was looking for. She has a really nice large room which looks out over the entrance so mum can 'neb' at all the comings and goings whilst in her room. The staff are really
attentive and regularly make drinks and nibbles available. Today they organised a game of skittles in the lounge using empty plastic bottles.
My mother had a go and knocked them all down. She looked very pleased with herself. The staff keep the place meticulously clean on a regular basis obliterating any nasty smells that some homes have. Every week they have singers and other entertainment with occasional tea parties and fetes. My mother was very frail when she moved in almost six months ago but she has improved no end under their care. Well done each and every one of you.

Although I was apprehensive about placing my mother-in-law in a home, Brackenfield Hall is proving to be a great choice.
The staff show they really care for their residents and the weekly activities, along with the visit from the hairdresser have really helped her to settle in quickly.

From our very first visit to look around Brackenfield, we were impressed by both the kindness of the staff and the home in general.
My mum was made to feel most welcome and in such a short time has settled in nicely. The positive attitude of the staff, weekly activities, and facilities in general have
enabled my Mum to feel comfortable.

Mom needed to move at quite short notice. Brackenfield Hall helped make the move quick and it went without any issues. Staff and residents were supportive helping Mom to settle. Staff are friendly and regularly check on her if she is on her own. The food is of a high standard and residents are encouraged
to join in activities. Mom settled in after a couple of weeks and it is nice to see her with a smile on her face.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I enjoy visiting the home, it is such a relaxed atmosphere. My relative, on residential AD, says it's her home. Everyone seems happy in the home, lots of laughter. The home is clean and lots of changes with the decor. Every time I go, there is something new added to the home, lots of staff around attending
to residents. The garden area is lovely and big and used well. The staff are really kind to everyone and activities are brilliant. There was a singer on when I went, she is amazing, she got everyone up dancing, so lovely to see.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) 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 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.889 for Brackenfield Hall is calculated as follows: ( (556 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 585 Ratings = 4.889
  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 48 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 48 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.
