Review from John B (Son of Resident) published on 8 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum was given emergency accommodation due to worsening problems with her memory. This was in January 21 and since then we have seen a slow deterioration in her own mental capacity, but her health has improved and her general appearance overall. This is down to the care offered by all of the staff and
the fact that she is eating freshly prepared food. This high level of attention towards my mum has allowed me to feel far more relaxed, knowing she is in a safe and healthy environment.
I along with other members of the family are now able to safely visit mum in the tearoom and also take her out to visit my dogs, who I believe she adores regardless of any memory issues. She always asks after them on our visits.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was made welcome and straightaway encouraged to join in with the other residents in the social areas. Mum finds it difficult to be on her own so the whole environment and social ethos of the care home was ideal for her. Mum has had a couple of falls during the past six months in the care home
and the staff were diligent in looking after her and notifying me of what had happened and the action taken. As a family, we have found the staff most helpful over the telephone, keeping us in touch with Mum and dealing with our queries etc. We enjoy following the updates on their activities and the lovely photos when they are candidly ‘caught on camera’. So far, I’ve been invited to join one Relatives Meeting via Skype, which was informative and told us in more detail about progress during COVID, visits and intentions once things open up again. Hopefully, there may be another such meeting soon. Mum tells us she finds living there comfortable and everyone and everything is lovely.

My Uncle went into Brackenfield in August, he settled in well even though we couldn't get to see him because of lockdown, my auntie has rung frequently and they always let him talk to her which cheers them both up. It's very clean and the staff are lovely can't do enough for you, my auntie is always
praising them and thinks there marvellous how they look after my uncle. Recently she has started going into his room and has told me it's beautiful.

My mum has lived at Brackenfield for almost 4 years and I have nothing but praise for the team and the home and its facilities. It’s been a very challenging year for everyone, especially those living and working in care homes and the team at Brackenfield have been superb! My mum is happy and very
well cared for, with good activities available and consideration given to individual needs and preferences. Recent refurbishments have improved the overall appearance of the home in general, and my mum's room is just lovely. It’s very well presented and is homely and comfortable. Throughout the COVID crisis, I feel I have been able to contact the home at any time for updates and discussion about my mum, and the relatives zoom meetings have been really useful. Staff have worked so hard to ensure residents have not been isolated, or put in danger, I can’t thank them enough for that, it’s been very reassuring during a very worrying time.
I am so grateful my mum lives here.

Mum went into Brackenfield Hall 2 years ago. She has been very happy there and the care is suburb. Our family know she is being well cared for so we are happy too. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, en-suite facilities are well designed. The lounge/dining areas are bright and well furnished. Beautiful
garden space with safe areas to take short walks and nice seating areas. All the staff are so helpful, friendly and professional.

My experience with the home is absolutely brilliant. The care my mum has had has been unbelievable. The staff have been amazing, they ring you straight away if there are any problems. We can ring any time, day or evening and the staff are always pleasant, reassuring and definitely put your mind at ease.
Myself and my family cannot thank them enough for taking care of our mum at the most difficult time that we have all had to put up with. They have kept us informed by Skype of all government changes. All our family would like to say a massive massive thank you to all staff involved for taking care of our precious mum/nan/ great nan, it definitely means a lot.

A special thanks to the manager for arranging a special visit on mums birthday and going above and beyond her duties by sending me some lovely photos of my mum. This was all done in her own time. Thanks to all staff. Keep up the good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Brackenfield Hall in October 2020 and has had good care throughout her stay. The residents have remained Covid free which, a fine testament to the manager and the team. All now received their second vaccination. It is lovely to see photos and videos on Facebook with lots of happy smiling
faces. My sister and I phone on alternate days and receive a welcome from the staff and a quick update on what’s happening generally, and sometimes specifically if asked. I’ve had several chats on the phone with the manager who is keen to support the whole family. I have never been inside the home as I live away and there’s always been some Covid restrictions but recently had a tea room visit which was fantastic, really uplifting for Mum and me. Mum loves the food, especially the home made soup. A platter of sliced fruit is readily available for residents who may not like to tackle a whole piece of fruit. Every important date is celebrated with painting or craft. ‘Dottie’ the little dog visits and is loved

I cannot recommend Brackenfield Hall Care Home highly enough. My mother-in-law has dementia and Alzheimer's, and as they specialize in these areas of care, they were recommended to us. She moved in last January, but not long after she settled in, Covid hit. Brackenfield have allowed weekly visiting.
When government guidelines allow, which is really appreciated. The fact they have been Covid-free during the global pandemic is also a great comfort. The home is managed really well, with separate living areas depending on the needs of the residents and they have regular activities, which have continued during the lockdown. They post regular photos and videos on Facebook. Seeing my mother-in-law and the other residents happy and smiling is lovely to see. We phone her daily, and the staff are so kind and considerate, nothing is too much trouble. A big thank you to the manager and the team!

The letter from Brackenfield Hall came jus at the right time as our family were really missing mum who had just settled into Brackenfield Hall before lockdown. The garden/tea room visits are so well organised and I look forward to my weekly visit. It's so nice to see mum looking so well and obviously
has been well looked after. She usually shows me her nails that have been newly painted. The staff are lovely and usually update me on what mum has been doing during the week.

First impressions when we came to Brackenfield Hall was very clean, welcoming, homely and very well kept. All through my father's stay, my feelings have not changed. Everything about this place is wonderful. If we ever need help in the future, I would not hesitate to ask to use this place again and
would highly recommend to others.
Thanks to all the staff for all the loving care.

We chose Brackenfield Hall after visiting several care homes. Excellent care home, bright, clean, good upkeep, the rooms are bright, spacious, en-suite and fridge. Mum could personalise her room by taking her own memorabilia, TV etc.
Brackenfield Hall provided a very secure and caring environment for
mum. The staff were very kind, compassionate and excellent in caring for mum. They were very friendly and approachable. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful work they do.

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.
