30 December 2025
Really happy with all the care given to my dear friend. First class care and food was excellent. My friend came for a few weeks' respite after a fall, and I would recommend Friend of the Elderly to any family and friends.

Mum had excellent care throughout her stay. It was very comforting to know she was safe, secure and being looked after by a team of staff who clearly had her best interests at heart. Whilst it is an impressive property, it was the approach staff that impressed most.

My stay at Davenham was from 17th May until Aug 22nd. Whilst major alterations were made to my bungalow. I now visit every Friday to meet friends I have made both with residents & staff.

As a newcomer to Bradbury, I can only say how pleased I am with the way I have been treated as a family member. I look forward to getting to know more of the team and the care that my stepfather is receiving, and seeing how happy he is in due course.

My friend came for respite care in July and was sobbing because it had come to this - needing to be in a care home. After 2 weeks, she wanted to have 2 more weeks of respite. Her anxiety was diminished and she enjoyed the company of residents and especially the company, kindness of the staff. She
wants to be in her own home so is going back with 24 hour care set in place. If she cannot cope, she will be happy to return to Davenham. Everyone has been wonderfully kind.

My husband was cared for following a fall that resulted in a hospital stay. What a relief to find the wonderful care he received upon leaving the hospital for respite/rehabilitation, which gave me such peace of mind. He had a lovely en-suite room that was ideal for someone with Dementia, including a
bell that sounded when he got out of bed to give a warning to the staff. The lounge/dining area is well furnished with comfortable chairs and tables
Most of all it was lovely to see the loving care the staff were giving to the residents. The grounds with their trees and flowers are a credit to the gardener, so tranquil, my husband even went to feed the ducks!
The whole area was spotlessly clean. During my husband's stay, it was our Diamond Wedding Anniversary the manager kindly said we could make use of the coffee lounge for a small get together of friends.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

My father has resided at Davenhams for 6 years now & is well settled. He knows most of the staff who attend to him & they know him with his little quirks. I live in London, so my link is long distance, but I try to visit as often as I can. My father is bedridden & the carers feed him & turn him
regularly due to bedsores. He says to me he's content, but has said to his carers on several occasions that he wants to 'go', but his body won't let him. Overall, as far as I can tell from my too infrequent visits, I'm happy with the care he's receiving, including from the local community nurses.

Perrin's is very comfortable. Staff are very helpful and very reliable.

A truely remarkable place run by first class people. It's steeped in history and stunning period features. A friendly, professional and caring enviroment which I would highly recommend to anyone. First class all round.

The house and grounds are beautiful. My relative's room is quite large and comfortable with lovely views of the common. The staff are kind and attentive and his needs are well met. The team have gone out of their way to provide his room with more home comforts to help him settle in. Overall I am
very impressed with the home and the care provided.

My dad's spent three weeks in Davenham so far and is likely to stay for longer. It's a lovely old house with a beautiful garden and the staff have been excellent - kind, caring and patient without being patronising in any way. Highly recommended!

The whole process of getting mum into a suitable home for respite, used as a transition from hospital back to her home, has been a pleasant experience. From the initial assessment in hospital to the discharge back to mum's home. The whole team have been responsive and shown care and compassion.
Fun and respectful. Thanks.

I have recently visited my friends at Bradbury. There was a really nice positive friendly atmosphere. Plenty of staff around chatting and attending to the residents.

As a family, we are immensely grateful for everything the staff at Bradbury Court did for our mum and how they cared for her with such dignity and love. The staff went over and above for mum and treated everyone in my family as part of 'their family'. Nothing was ever too much and the care they gave
her was outstanding. Thank you to every member of staff at that amazing place - a 'home' for my mum in her last year

Bradbury Court has given outstanding care to my late stepmum for the last 6 years. She had such a lovely, homely and spacious room with all her own things and beautiful views. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I found it a very relaxed place to be. I was welcome to visit anytime
without needing to make an appointment. My mum felt much loved and enjoyed helping the staff, she was very happy there and I always felt reassured that she was in excellent hands. In my experience with previous care homes, I consider it is far greater in comparison and I highly recommend Bradbury Court.

The care provided to my aunt over the 8 years she was a resident was superb. She had a wonderful room where she was very comfortable. Although she was a very private person she was so happy with the attention shown to her by all the staff. If I need to go into care in the years ahead I won't
hesitate to move into Davenham.

Thank you to all the staff at Devanham's for their care. Our time with Devanham's was short, so our experience was limited. The facilities looked well-kept. Visiting was easy and without prior notice. A particular thanks to Devanham's unit manager who was especially kind and communicative during the
difficult last days.

My mum was a resident of Perrins House from December 2021 until she passed in May 2024. In the time she was at Perrins, my mum received excellent care throughout. Mum's room was lovely, overlooking the garden which she enjoyed so much. The staff were always friendly and helpful and kept the
environment clean, tidy and calm. Mum especially liked the wide range of activities on offer, particularly the singers who would regularly come and sing music from her era. Mum also loved the garden club and the staff were very helpful in enabling mum to attend her granddaughter's wedding which was wonderful.

My husband had been in the hospital for three months with delirium following a fall. A nurse accompanied him to Perrnins House, and they made sure his room was redecorated with a new floor. The room also had a wonderful view of the magnificent garden. Lunch is served in a dining room, and he is
collected in a wheelchair. Guests are also welcome to join him for lunch at a small charge. There are excellent activities for residents, every weekday. All the staff, nurses and helpers are first class, have enormous patience and are very loving and fun. I could not recommend it more.

The Davenham and its grounds are beautiful. There are lovely communal rooms and plenty of places to sit and chat. There are many kind staff that our relative has become close to and in whom we have confidence. However, in the few years they have been there, amongst the good things, there have been
shortcomings. The five stars given reflect very much the current situation as a new manager has taken over who is dynamic, approachable and knowledgeable with very high standards. She has quickly identified a number of the issues of concern and already made some very positive and encouraging changes with many more improvements on the horizon. We feel confident that The Davenham and its residents are in safe hands and that the home will go from strength to strength.
