I highly recommend Bramble Down Nursing Home. The food, care, cleanliness, staff, room and garden are all excellent.

I am very satisfied with the excellent support given at Bramble Down to my wife. She has been a resident there since January 2023 & I was reluctant for her to go there initially as I had looked after her at home for 3 years. The staff were welcoming and patient. They have subsequently been so supportive not only to my wife but to us as a family. They are genuinely fond of her making sure she is dressed as she would like & taking appropriate care with her appearance. They are professional, dedicated, highly skilled & efficient. She is always treated with dignity & respect. The kitchen staff ensure that every day she has blended food that is individually prepared for her. The home is always very clean. Her room is particularly nice, very appropriate to her needs with a door leading to the garden. I never worry about her when I am not there as I know she is safe & secure with qualified nurses available at all times. A range of activities are available & she joins in when appropriate.

I am filled with deep gratitude to all the staff at Brambledown who cared for my dear father for the final ten months of his long-lived life. There is no doubt in my mind that Dad's outlook on the remainder of his time on this earth was dramatically altered as a result of the kindness, thoughtfulness, humour and engagement of everyone working there. . Brambledown brought him in to the heart of their community and made him feel valued in his efforts to 'give something back' for all their care of him. I could not have wished for a brighter, warmer and kinder environment for the space that was 'home' for Dad. Overall I know that Dad had a sense of Hope at Brambledown..that family and friends were always welcome; special occasions could be creatively accommodated for in the most beautiful way; someone would always be there when needed; laughter was around every corner and especially in the dining room! Thank you Brambledown from the bottom of my heart.

From first visit I felt relaxed and confident that my husband will be well cared for. I was impressed by the skill levels, caring and hospitality shown to myself and all visitors. Most importantly, I have a much reduced level of anxiety now I know he's being well cared for and already I see a marked improvement in my husbands confidence.

Wonderful! Staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble, always had time for me and my sister. Spent time with her and gave her lots of hugs. I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Excellent at keeping me informed. Very genuine in their concern for us both - very friendly and loving.

My mum had the most amazing care whilst at Bramble Down Nursing Home and thoroughly enjoyed all the activities that were held. All staff were wonderful and a big thank you to five members of staff, in particular, thank you for taking good care of my mum.

Brambledown staff looked after our mum with such care and dignity, November she was end of life and we were so pleased she was back at Bramble Down after a long period in the hospital, everyone was brilliant, especially two ladies who went above and beyond to make her final days more cheerful for all of us. The manager also played a big part as did nurses, everyone was so kind.

A fabulous nursing home who gave my mum excellent care. Mum moved to Bramble Down following an illness in April 2023, we had visited several care homes but felt Bramble Down was the right choice for her, her welcome on the first day and continued care over the following months saw her go from strength to strength. The excellent food, and care she received gave us the opportunity to share many more special moments with her. The care team provide exceptional care with dignity and respect and whilst Mum did not always join in on many of the activities, still felt included and enjoyed trips out and about including some in Denbury. Our whole family always received a warm welcome.

A fantastic home. I'm so grateful for your wonderful care of my mum. Fantastic, friendly staff who are so warm, skilled and helpful. I feel so confident in your care.

Exceptional care on every level. Beautiful, quiet location and grounds. Rooms and facilities are comfortable, adjusted for the individual. Residents have access to a range of activities, depending on their interests and abilities. Caring staff are kind, warm, patient and cheery and gentle and respectful to residents. My mum has lived at Bramble Down Nursing Home since January - and has been cared for so well. Management of Bramble Down, nursing staff, carers, cooks and cleaners are passionate about keeping this as a wonderful place to live. I feel so welcome as a visitor, supported and part of this 'big family'. If only all of us could find such care late in life. Thank you all.

Whenever I visited my friend, he seemed comfortable and content. The staff were unfailingly courteous, helpful and unhurried in their interactions. The staff went above and beyond in their dedicated care. I could find no fault in the building, bedroom, surroundings and general atmosphere of Bramble Down Nursing Home, congratulations on running such an excellent establishment.

My husband has been at Bramble Down Nursing Home for 5 plus years so the whole staff have become his other family. The care and support received have been appropriate and thoughtful and I have been happy that he is well looked after. The whole team from the managers to the cleaners have been excellent.

After one week in respite care in a residential home resulting in repeated falls and leading to five weeks in the hospital, we finally managed to get Dad discharged into Bramble Down Nursing Home, but all very late for him to get the care he deserved. But the care he did get while he was there for his last 4 days was wonderful. He had a warm and comfortable bed and wonderful doctors, nurses, and carers whom I cannot commend highly enough. His last days were peaceful and he died with great care and dignity. If only we could have got him out of hospital and into Bramble Down weeks earlier, it would have been so much easier for him and us. The nurses and carers who cared for Dad also showed the same care and kindness for us, and his family, which was moving and helped us tremendously. We are so appreciative of the staff there and thank them with all our hearts.

My father came into Bramble Down Nursing Home on the 30th October, he had a fabulous warm welcome from all the staff who made sure that he was comfortable and settled in ok. Dad would spend time in the canteen area having his lunch, having a laugh with other residents and staff. He loved the food, but mostly the puddings and cake every day and the odd G&T ice supplied by kitchen. Dad's health sadly deteriorated rapidly and after only 1 month he passed away on the 25th November 2023. I would like to thank you all so very much for looking after our dad. You gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being looked after and cared for with the utmost respect. The Bramble Down staff also welcomed us in as if it were our home, offering comfort and reassurance, sandwiches and loads of cups of tea, the cheese toasties were amazing and well needed. Thank you all so very much.

Truly amazing, every single member of staff are on another level when it comes to the love, care and respect that they show to the residents here, that also extends to the facilities and the six weeks that our dad spent here were happy weeks, enabling us to laugh and make memories with him. On the odd occasion, when there were tears, they were all there to love and support us through, all the while remaining professional. You have nothing to fear if your loved one is in the care of these people.

Our father was a resident at Bramble Down from Oct to Nov 2023. He sadly passed away at the end of November. He received the utmost respect and high-quality care from all staff. We can not thank you enough knowing Dad was being well looked after and your kindness and hospitality towards all his family who visited the home. Thank you so much.

Bramble Down Nursing Home is comforting and homely. My aunt had a large, airy room with lovely views over the quiet countryside and village. The communal areas and gardens are very pleasant. The carers and the nurses were friendly and willing, always smiling and patient. They built a good rapport with my aunt which was really important as she had never experienced personal care before. Her health issues were carefully assessed and have been solved. Thank you to the manager for taking my aunt in at short notice when I had other family issues to attend to. On the occasions I was able to visit, I felt included in the care and support ethos and was grateful. All in all, a very positive experience and outcome. I happily recommend Bramble Down Nursing Home.

My family and I were very pleased with the care our aunty was given. Some members of staff were outstanding and treated her with deep dignity and respect. We couldn't have asked for more. Covid reduced activities that she would have enjoyed. She had a complex problem with swallowing and so providing the correct food was challenging, but the kitchen did extremely well.

Following a long, lifesaving time in hospital, my mum went to stay at Bramble Down Nursing Home for a four-month period of recuperation. This was a very scary time for my brothers and I. We didn’t know how we would feel about letting go of our mum’s day to day care. Our mum was given a beautiful room with glorious views over the surrounding moorland. The food was fabulous! Freshly cooked on site by passionate chefs! All the staff involved with my mum’s care were warm, friendly, compassionate and at times very funny; they became like family to us. The manager was always popping in to see my mum, listening to her and making her laugh! There is a relaxed atmosphere at Bramble Down, created by happy, very caring staff. We had absolutely no need to be afraid of this next step in our mum’s life. Although our mum now lives in a home that specializes in dementia care, everyone at Bramble Down Nursing Home played a huge part in helping us all towards the very best future for our mum.

We have always been treated with respect and warmth and amazingly so, during lockdown. The manager and staff were very professional in all actions to us as visitors and our friend who we visited almost every week. The standard of care to our friend is exceptional. Bramble Down's standard of cleanliness is excellent. No odour. We would recommend to anyone seeking a care home for a loved one. Our friend has been in Bramble Down for nearly three years and the above still holds.
