My mother-in-law joined Brackenfield in November 2021 due to a deterioration in her condition and both she and we needed support to ensure her safety.
After a few weeks settling in, our mother started to call Brackenfield home!
All the team were supportive, helpful and caring and importantly it changed
our view and that of our friends and relatives of care homes.
The home is very welcoming and clean, the food is excellent as are the staff, the activity programme, gardens and facilities.
Thank you and keep up the great work.

After a very challenging couple of years caring for Dad, the difficult decision had to be made to look for a permanent place of better care for him.
It was extremely difficult and upsetting as his decline was so rapid during the lockdowns. Dad visited Brackenfield Hall, initially for respite care.
He had a difficult period settling in initially due to his disease but the care staff have been amazing. There are always activities to keep residents engaged and we are extremely grateful to all who have got to know Dad and his history and respect him for the man he was and the man he is now.
The home is clean, the staff are helpful and the food and care are very good. Thank you.

When Mum first arrived at Brackenfield Hall she had difficulty waking and spent most of her days sleeping in bed. In a very short time, Mum went from strength to strength - walking with a frame and eventually walking independently again. If anything she kept staff on their toes as she was on the go
all day!
Having felt so guilty about moving Mum to the home, we soon realised it was the best thing we could have done for her. She was always around the other residents and staff - being encouraged to join in the many craft sessions or have her nails painted.
Unfortunately, Mum passed away at Brackenfield Hall but she was snuggled in her bed - the best way to go.
We can honestly say it was the best eighteen months we could have wished for - feeling relaxed and comforted to know Mum was being cared for with such love and dignity.
The staff are amazing and treat the residents just as they would their own families. I cannot recommend or thank them enough.

My mum is so well looked after at Brackenfield. The staff can't do enough for mum; they are kind, compassionate and patient with all the residents. The home is clean, lovely decorated, warm and very homely. Since my mum started living at Brackenfield, she has never looked better, and that's a testament
to the care she receives. Thank you to all the fabulous staff.

The care home is decent, clean and comfortable. My bedroom has everything I need and the bed is comfortable. The carers are very kind and friendly. If I need anything I ask and the carers help me. All other residents are nice and friendly, they have made me feel welcome and have included me. The food
is good, no complaints and there is always plenty to eat with a good choice. I am happy here and have settled well.

I have lived at Brackenfield Hall for a few months now. I really like it here. I have made some lovely friends, and the staff are really wonderful, they are helpful, polite and nothing is too much for them. I was very lonely at home, but now I am surrounded by lovely people. My room is very homely and
welcoming. The meals are nice, especially the puddings. Every day there is something happening for me to join in with. I am so glad I moved here. I'm so happy and thankful to all the staff.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brackenfield to anyone facing the difficult decision of choosing a care home for their loved one. We moved Mum there a few months ago and it was the best decision we could have made for her. The home itself is always clean, fresh and beautifully decorated and the ensuite
rooms are spacious and bright. Mum always looks clean and well dressed, the staff really make an effort to ensure her hair looks nice and her nails are painted, which is lovely to see and clearly makes Mum feel good. She is always so cheerful when we visit and we put this down the fabulous care she is receiving. The staff at Brackenfield are warm, caring, friendly and always put the residents first, there's always something going on, arts and crafts, entertainment, sing a longs, even visits to their 'pub'. Mum loves to get behind that bar! Their Facebook page is updated regularly and it's so lovely to see what a great time they are all having and how happy the residents are. 5 star.

Our mum has been in Brackenfield Hall for two years now and I have nothing but praise for all of the staff and the management, who are all amazing! They are always helpful, kind, polite and friendly and are so committed to their job, nothing is too much trouble. The staff treat the residents with such
love and care, as if they were one of their own and I know that my mum is happy and enjoying her time there, which is so reassuring. I would, without a doubt, 110% recommend Brackenfield Hall to anyone, who is looking for a care home. A big thank you, to everyone who is involved in looking after my mum, we really appreciate you all!

Mum has been at Brackenfield for just over 4 months, after my sister and I made the decision to move her from another care home and I'm so pleased we did. The staff are all fabulous and really do put the residents first and the facilities are superb. There's always something to get involved with, outside
entertainment, arts and crafts, games (Play Your Cards Right, is a favourite!), dancing or just a good old sing-a-long. Mum is always clean and well-dressed, her hair is kept neat and tidy and her nails are always painted. This means such a lot to her and is reflected in her raised spirits, since she has been at Brackenfield. Communication is a high priority and we're kept fully informed with anything that we need to know. Their Facebook page is also very regularly updated and it's heart-warming to see all the residents happy and enjoying themselves. I can't recommend them highly enough, to anyone going through the difficult decision of choosing a care home for their loved one.

My stepfather who suffers from dementia has been a resident of Brackenfield for 20 months and during that time he lost his partner, my mum. The staff have been wonderful in helping him deal with his loss and he seems to have settled well. He says the food is good and he particularly enjoys the cooked
breakfast. Due to Covid, I have only recently had access to the building and find it warm, clean, comfortable and the staff welcoming. I feel confident that my relative is safe and being well looked after.

Mum has been a resident in Brackenfield Hall now for just over 2 months, and I can't say it has been easy, as much for the family as for mum, but the team at Brackenfield have been fantastic, reassuring us as well as mum. We can rest easier knowing she is being cared for, has as much company through
the day as she wants but can still have her own time in her room if she needs to. We know she eats well (she says the food is great), and we know she is safe. Huge thank you to all the team, you do a great job, especially through the difficult times we have all just faced.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my sister visited Brackenfield Hall whilst looking for a care home for Mum and were very impressed by the staff and the friendly, family atmosphere at the home. Mum was really isolated and lonely before she moved in. Within days, she had changed completely and was really enjoying her time
there. She was encouraged to sit and chat with the other residents and was always busy doing some sort of activity, she even joined the singing on the Karaoke. The staff are so friendly and helpful and treat everyone with absolute dignity, whilst retaining a family atmosphere, we really couldn't have wished for a better place. They were very good about informing us of anything to do with Mum and they genuinely do care for their residents. Mum passed away in January after six happy months of enjoying an all-inclusive hotel, as she used to call it. I have and I would 100% recommend Brackenfield Hall to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one. Thank you for taking such good care of Mum.

Mum has been a resident at Brackenfield Hall for the last ten months. When she first arrived she could not walk, had a catheter, refused to eat, wouldn't socialize, very low in her mood, and just all together miserable. Also had a few more medical issues which needed hospital admission. But now today
she's a different woman thanks to all the care and attention given by the staff. She is now able to walk and chat with everyone, eat and drink independently, for toilet needs and be as independent as anyone at 91 years old can be. I cant praise the staff enough they are all fantastic thanks for giving us our Mum back.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.901 for Brackenfield Hall is calculated as follows: ( (617 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 645 Ratings = 4.901
  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 53 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 53 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.
