Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has gone from saying I'm not going into a care home to saying I like it here, I'm happy here I've made friends here and I don't want to go back to my house and she has started smiling again. The lovely caring staff at Brackenfield Hall have made my mum so at ease, safe and happy there and mum
says that the staff are so lovely and caring and nothing is too much trouble for them and she says she is well looked after and the food is lovely here. We find the staff very pleasant, approachable and friendly, always got time to talk to us about my mum. I can honestly say we have found a good care home here where mum is well cared for and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I chose Brackenfield Hall after an extensive search. The staff are excellent, kind, caring, friendly and approachable.
The care my mum receives is second to none, she feels safe there with friends around her who provide the total support that family would like to give but which is not achievable with
other commitments and limited accommodation. Well done Brackenfield Hall.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mainly good care given, problems solved but some problems re-occurring as sometimes have to ask more than twice for things to be done. In my opinion, not enough staff sometimes.

Excellent care home, very clean, excellent building upkeep and maintenance. Got 4 stars for food. Mum has got dementia but is very happy and cheerful. Mum is 94 years old. They have games and karaoke regularly and a singer/entertainer regularly. They are taken out for a meal or other suitable venue
regularly. They have coffee mornings.

Review from Sharon W (Friend of Resident) published on 20 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend was lonely and confused and a danger in her own home. She was terrified of going into care but she is now relaxed fit and happy. She is well fed, she was living on chocolate and buns before she moved so she loves the 'proper food' she talks to everyone and they talk to her. She has her own
room with en suite but she spends most of her time in the communal lounge, she forgets most things but meal times but the 'girls' gently jolly her along. She is relaxed and contented for the first time in years. Thank you all.

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.
