Overall Experience
I am 86 and my wife is of the same age. She has dementia, I look after her and have taken advantage of 1 day per week care (9am-5pm) respite.
She is happy at Bramley House. She talks to everyone. The staff are second to none.

Review from K H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Mum has settled into life in a care home extremely well. The staff have been very sensitive to her quirky needs and in general, have a very flexible and personalised approach to caring for her. They have sensitively managed her occasional outbursts and always inform me of any incidents. She always enjoys the activities (unless it's flower arranging!) and loves any trips.

Review from G P (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Excellent care home, more like a country hotel. Staff in the majority are long-term. Food is cooked on-site and geared towards more elderly residents. Beautiful gardens, which residents are encouraged to use and help with planting etc. Also, good social activities geared towards events outside the home. Highly recommend.

Review from S T (Relative of Resident) published on 27 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
There is a calm, caring and friendly atmosphere at Bramley House. The home is efficiently run with all the staff working as a cohesive team and an attitude that nothing is too much trouble. The team is unfailingly caring, supporting and compassionate to our family member, who is always addressed appropriately and with respect. There is a focus on tailoring delivery to suit both their character and needs. Care is provided with warmth, humour and empathy. It has been a huge relief to know our family member is so well supported 24/7, is safe and is truly cared about by all the team. The staff are extremely welcoming to all our family, and the constant open communication is reassuring. The manager is hands-on, proactive and applicable. She shows great respect and empathy for residents. Put simply, Bramley House is highly recommended both for prospective residents and for the care and support, which is also extended to their family. We cannot thank the whole team enough.

Review from Jackie G (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Mum had been at Bramley Lodge for nearly two years. She was cared for with much love and dignity. Mum had vascular dementia, so could be strong-willed at times, but that staff (all of them) were amazing and patient with her. Cannot praise highly enough the "entertainment" team. The cleanliness of the home was excellent. The food Mum just loved. The nursing team became family too. Thank you.

Review from V G (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My father was a resident at Bramley House for nearly two years until his death at the beginning of March.
It was difficult to move my father into a care home as I had cared for him in my own home when his physical and mental condition deteriorated. Bramley House is a lovely home with local staff who really care. The management structure is good and any concerns are dealt with. The staff make you feel welcome. My father died of Covid and his end of life care was all I could have hoped for. I would strongly recommend Bramley House to anyone seeking residential care.

Review from Keith G (Son of Resident) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Whenever we have visited Mum she always appears happy, clean and well-fed. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. We cannot praise the entertainments team enough, also during lockdown, they have gone above and beyond. Social media has come into its own and it is great to see all the photos. Always kept informed of any changes in Mum's health or behaviour.

Overall Experience
I visited my mother-in-law today and was so impressed with the thought that has gone into the garden room and allowing me to visit her in comfort and that she was completely safe. I am confident that in these times the safest place for her to be is Bramley House.

Overall Experience
My mother has been at Bramley House for a considerable time - approximately six years. The staff have never ceased to show their remarkable patience and kindness towards her.
Since the recent "shut down" they have proved that their dedication to care deserves enormous respect and praise.
