I cannot fault the care that my mother receives at Bradbury Grange. From the management and care team to the housekeeping staff, there is always a warm welcome and sense of belonging. Retention of staff appears to be excellent and this promotes positive relationships between residents and those looking after them. I have witnessed real heartfelt emotion towards my mother, particularly at times when she has been unwell, and this is very reassuring for me, particularly on those occasions when I have not been able to be present. Mum's room is always spotlessly clean and she feels very much at home. Regular meetings keep family and friends up to speed with proceedings and welcome feedback.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass on your message to my entire team. Your response and feedback means a lot and keeps us motivated.
Angela has been brilliantly looked after. The carers and staff and just the nicest people. And the management are always very approachable and responsive.
We couldn't have found a better place for our lovely Angela.

Thank you for your kind words. We always aim to keep our doors and lines of communication open for everyone. We are glad you have found our team approachable and responsive.
Staff are hard working, friendly and kind. They do a difficult job well. The home environment is pleasant and I particularly like the garden. Recently I had the chance to sing for residents with my group and I think residents benefit greatly from diversions such as this.

My father moved into BG in May and very rapidly spoke of feeling 'at home'. At every step of the way he has felt fully supported and cared for. This is primarily because the facilities and staff have met his and our family's every expectation. We are incredibly grateful for the physical and spiritual care that he is receiving which has made the last few months a genuine joy for him.
My husband and I are very impressed how the Care Home is run and the thoughtful way our friend is looked after in all aspects of the care provided. She is kept safe 24 hours a day, has lovely meals, is given help when needed, has access to a Podiatrist and a Hairdresser and is treated with dignity...

My father moved into Bradbury Grange from living independently just over three months ago and describes it as a'wonderful and remarkable retreat'. The staff are extraordinary; professional, efficient, caring, patient, respectful and cheerful. The home is clearly well managed and staff at this level are approachable and open. There is a genuine homely feel and staff are attentive to residents, showing real care and knowledge of each individual. Any medical attention for my father has been immediate and liaison with any NHS care, seamless. His spiritual welfare is very well looked after by the chaplain. We thought Bradbury Grange was amazing when we visited but could not have expected my father's move to be such a wholehearted success, he is safe, well looked after in every way and content.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Bradbury Grange. We continue to evolve in whatever we do and take on board all comments from families, to improve our service. I will share these comments to staff and thank you once again for the kind words.

This is on behalf of my husband who has been here with dementia since September last year. I visit twice a week and he seems ok but has lost a lot of weight. The staff are marvelous but feel he could have more one-to-one care.

Staff are friendly and helpful, and leave genuine care for the residents.
The family would like to see more activities on a daily basis - for stimulation and enjoyment of their father, who is resident with dementia - such a cruel disease at such a young age. (79 years)
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you have found the refurbishment has made a huge difference. We will continue to strive to improve on the variety of activities.

My husband has been expertly cared for during the last two years. Management and staff listen to requests and always respond according to the needs of the resident. Every aspect of care is geared to the residents personal needs. Food is excellent, as is accommodation, and the carers are very helpful. There is respect for each resident, who get opportunity to discuss their situation at the residents meeting. Singing, services and other entertainment with the Chaplain are enjoyed by all.
Thank your for the kind words, which is a testament to the work that all the staff do here at Bradbury Grange to create a warm and friendly environment for people to live in.

Everywhere is very well run, clean and friendly. Whenever there is any kind of an incident I am always informed immediately which I find really reassuring.

The home feels like a home. It is very clean and freshly decorated. It feels safe and warm. The staff do a great job and they care for the residents. My mum is very happy there.

Not for the first time, my wife, who is severely disabled, entered Bradbury Grange (BG) for a fortnight's respite care in September 2025. The sudden onset of a serious health condition meant that I couldn't resume my role as her carer and Kim and her team at BG could not have done more to welcome my wife and help her settle into her newly decorated, light and well appointed room. Clearly, this has been a life changing experience for both me and my wife of over fifty years, but regular visits from family and friends and the care and understanding of Kim and her team are helping us to adjust, for which I take this opportunity to record my sincere thanks.
Thank you for your kind words and we are so happy that we could support you at a time in your life that you also needed support alongside your wife.

I fell, fractured a vertebra, lost control of my bladder and bowels. I decided I needed respite care. A friend recommended Bradbury Grange. I was surprised at how friendly, jolly and constructive the staff were. They were positive and thoughtful and I felt supported and much less anxious. They were happy to check if they were uncertain about something which was reassuring. I was expecting bland food. I was so impressed by the range choice and variety. The food was delicious and satisfying. The menu was creative and interesting. The room was comfortable well furnished and appropriate. The home as a whole was exceedingly attractive and in immaculate condition.
Thank you for your positive review, which shows how we are a supportive and happy team. I will share this review with the team.

I came into Bradbury Grange for two weeks following a knee replacement operation. Everyday, by every member of staff I met, I was treated with care, friendliness and profesional consideration. The support I have been given has been excellent and I believe has really made my recovery much quicker and less painful. I cannot thank everyone enough and hope they will have me back in a few months time after my second knee replacement. Thankyou so much.
Thank you for your review. This a great reflection on the care that we provide at Bradbury Grange. We are so pleased that you had an enjoyable stay, and will look forward to you returning in the future.

Both of my parents have been at Bradbury Grange for over a year and I have been very pleased with the standard of the care provided.
All the staff, from the management to the cleaning staff and the nurses, have been exemplary in their kindness and patience with me and my parents, and when visiting I am always made to feel welcome. The staff, although sometimes extremely busy, are always caring and responsive to Mum and Dad's needs. If a problem ever occurs with my parents the staff are always quick to let me know.
The home always seems clean and there are activities and entertainment on offer to help keep my parents occupied. I have no hesitation in recommending Bradbury Grange very highly.
Thank you for the kind comments about the team at Bradbury. It is refreshing and really gives the team a boost to hear such comments.

I am very happy with the service Bradbury Grange has given my husband for the last 5 months. The day staff are all great, friendly and always helpful, both caters and domestic staff. I'm not sure about night staff as I never see them but my husband is sometimes negative about his night experiences, which maybe the dementia talking! He occasionally does not have a continence pad on and I've had a couple of accidents when taking him out because of this. He is sometimes dressed with non matching clothes. The laundry service is excellent. Visitors are always made welcome and never made to feel a nuisance. It is sometimes hard to get in at weekends when there is no one in the office, this can be frustrating ringing the bell for 10 minutes. But thank you for all you do in difficult times circumstances , my family and I are most appreciative.
Thank you for the lovely comments that I will pass on to staff. I will also review with staff about the entry at weekends to try and make it a quicker response.

Ann joined MHA in 1980 and is our longest serving team member. Initially based at Cliff Deane in Tankerton, she moved to Bradbury Grange when residents transferred there in 2010 and is now a senior carer.
“I feel very honoured to be MHA’s longest serving employee. One of the best things over the years has been getting to know the people you care for, having a laugh with them and solving their problems as well as getting to know their families.
“Being a care worker is an interesting job. It is not without its challenges but it is very rewarding. You have to have patience and be interested in the people you care for. I always say to those joining to look at it like caring for your grandparents and how you would want to treat them."
