Both of my parents were residents at this lovely home and were excellently care for by all of the staff. We always felt welcomed when we visited, as if the home had become part of our family and we became a part of theirs. The staff did not just care for my parents - they really cared about them. Mum particularly loved spending time in the beautiful garden. We have felt so reassured by all of the staff at Bradbury Grange. The home is managed well, kept very clean and we were always kept well informed. We can't thank the staff enough for all of their care and effort.
Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you really value the team at Bradbury Grange and are supportive of the care that we provide.

I can't praise this home enough for looking after our precious Mum
I can only speak from my experience of observing. My sister is in the care home not me. I know that she is cared for, kindly and compassionately. All the carers I have met have been caring, cheerful and I can even say loving towards my sister, and very patient. I took my time to ensure that...
I can only speak from my experience of observing. My sister is in the care home not me. I know that she is cared for, kindly and compassionately. All the carers I have met have been caring, cheerful and I can even say loving towards my sister, and very patient. I took my time to ensure that Bradbury Grange was the best home we encountered.
Thank you for your kind words about Bradbury Grange. Your comments will be shared with the team.

All the staff that my wife and I have contact with are professional, friendly and sympathetic to my mother's needs.
This is across all the team from management to the the carers and domestic staff
The laundry team do a great job, returning the clothes quickly and very clean.
The carers take time to talk to my mother who can get a little upset sometimes.
They quickly jump on any health issues and listen to our concerns if we have any.
The catering is very good and needs to be commended
We can approach senior staff if we need to but seeing them nearly every time we visit puts our minds at rest that mum is being well looked after.
She insists on regular visits to the hairdresser, and why not.
The atmosphere is first class and we are encouraged to take our dogs into the home and the team appear to enjoy this more than our dogs
Overall we are happy and believe we have a super relationship with everyone there
Thank you for the lovely words about the whole team at Bradbury Grange. I will be sure to pass this on to the team.
Well done to all who work there!

Very pleased. Mum seems to be settling in ok.

I think this home is lovely. Clean, comfortable and friendly. The staff are professional and welcoming. My auntie always looks happy, comfortable and well cared for. A lovely buzz about the place, with entertainment for the residents - what else can you ask for?

I visit my partner three to four times weekly. I am always treated with kindness, consideration and respect. The same is true for my partner, who has multiple needs and many mood swings which are all taken into careful consideration in the way she is being looked after. Staff team work incredibly hard, but they have a positive attitude and are well supported by management. I have visited a number of care homes, this is the best!
It’s a pleasure to welcome you and everybody else who visits the home, either to look around, volunteer or visit loved ones. Thank you for your kind words.
My mum has been in Bradbury Grange for over three years now. It feels homely when you walk around, which is the reason for choosing this particular home. The staff are caring and attentive and the residents seem happy. It has also improved recently with more staff being employed.

The manager and staff ensured that my father settled into Bradbury Grange with care and kindness at a difficult time of year. Nothing was too much trouble. He is now thriving in his new surroundings. We are very grateful.

My friend was only at Bradbury Grange for a very short period, but the staff were very kind and attentive. They did everything to make her comfortable and content. The staff especially, went out of their way to provide her with a radio station through a tv, when modern DAB outlets failed. I would not hesitate to recommend Bradbury Grange.
Thank you so much, your friend was a delight to care for, and the team were so grateful to hear your kind words.

My father has been a resident here for the last six months. His transition from home life to being in a residential establishment was not easy, but was very well facilitated by the kind, friendly and helpful staff. Since being there he looks 100% better and although still settling in, I am confident that I have no worries regarding his care. My only quibble and this is petty, but it would be nice to see some more plants around, as I do believe 'greenery' can have a lovely soothing effect. Maybe the residents, if they were up to it, could participate in their care.
Thank you so much, for your kind recommendation and your suggestion.
My sister-in-law has been here for four years and is still happy and well. She is looked after very well. Thank you all.

My mother moved into Bradbury Grange following a lengthy stay in hospital. Unfortuablet she was only there for just over 2 months so didn't really have time to settle in but the care she received during this time was exemplary. I was very impressed by the sensitivity and kindness shown during her last few days. I would highly recommend this home.
Thank you so much for your compliment. It was our pleasure to care for your Mother. I will share this compliment with the team at Bradbury Grange.
Bradbury Grange is a careing and friendly home. I am often amazed at the careing and helpful way most of the staff are and they really do care for the welfare of elderly people. We do have times of recreation and exercises daily. Yes, it is a pleasant place.

Thank you for your compliment, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
My mum is 101 and has been at Bradbury for four years and is very happy there. The staff are attentive and caring and the management communicates well. There’s a beautiful garden and the home is very well designed. I’d have no hesitation in recommending it.

My mother was a resident at Bradbury Grange, Whitstable for four years which she thoroughly enjoyed. She built positive relationships with the carers and staff who treated her with thoughtfulness and respect, always finding time to chat and take an interest in her family and life stories. She was well cared for, always treated with consideration. Any concerns were swiftly and positively dealt with. Above all, the dignity, love and kindness shown in the last few weeks of her life was outstanding. Everyone demonstrated such sympathy and compassion to Mum and the whole family; it was beyond our expectations. Thank you Bradbury!
Thank you so much for your lovely compliment, which has been shared with the team. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your Mum, who we all adored and who is missed very much by all at Bradbury Grange.
My beloved dad lived at Bradbury Grange for four years, one month, and ten days. I am deeply grateful to all the staff for the skilled care, love, and friendship he received. It's hard having a much loved parent in a care home but Bradbury is an open home with visits welcomed at any time. It has...
Together, creating a warm environment where residents' individuality and uniqueness is understood and embraced.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was our pleasure to care for your Dad, at Bradbury Grange.

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."
