My mum was discharged from hospital straight into Bramble Lodge in April. We all found this emotional journey quite tough at first. But now 6 months on Mum seems more settled. I find visits quite over-whelming at times, however since the dining rooms has been split over 2 levels every-where seems alot calmer and happier. All staff are all helpful and have time with any concerns or just a general chat despite being busy. All the new areas are a great addition especially the new Beauty Room. My mum is a walker and luckily has lots of safe space to walk around. Thank you Team Bramble.

Very clean in all the room's and have a lovely garden to look with bird's and squirrel's running around. Excellent!

All good staff & management are very helpful and supportive to us as a family and our dad. Since going in January (end of the month) until now. Cannot fault the care home. Dad's choice to go there.

Our mother moved into Bramble Lodge just over a year ago. We have been reassured, as a family, that she is safe and being cared for and are grateful for everything the home does.

Staff are always attentive to my nana's needs. Even though her Alzheimer's is progressing, she always seems happy. It gives me peace of mind to see she is well looked after. The manager is very passionate about Bramble Lodge Residential & Dementia Care Home and the new refurbishments look amazing. Thank you for taking care of my nana.

Bramble Lodge is a lovely, warm and bright care home with friendly staff who we have got to know since Dad has been there and we engage in light, humorous conversations with them. When we visit Dad he is always well-shaven, clean and his room is always kept clean and tidy. There is always plenty of activity for those residents that are able to take part and they have the freedom to stay in their own rooms if they wish. Overall, Bramble Lodge is a warm, bright and safe environment for the residents.

We are really pleased with the care that my mum is receiving at Bramble Lodge. The staff are kind, caring and very professional in their approach to looking after Mum. We don't live close to Bramble Lodge but communication and keeping us up to date has been excellent. When we visit we always feel very welcome. Cleanliness is always good and Mum enjoys the food. Mum is very happy and well looked after at Bramble Lodge.

My mum is very well cared for, is comfortable and safe. I can't thank the staff enough for taking such excellent care of Mum, they are, in my opinion, angels. Thank you all so much.

Bramble Lodge Residential & Dementia Care Home has cared for my mother, who suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's, and their staff have been excellent. We could not have asked for anything better as she can be quite challenging due to her illnesses.

We are very happy with the care my mum is getting at Bramble Lodge Residential & Dementia Care Home. We have no concerns.

My mum has been in the care home for one year now. A few rocky issues at the beginning due to Mum's nature and the guilt I felt Mum being in a care home with other Alzheimer's residents. This was resolved by the superb support and amazing management carried down to staff level, the carers are compassionate, friendly, always happy and friendly. Mum is now very happy, there is a lot of light and space and activities going on. Mum is well looked after and safe. I feel I visit Mum in her own home now, I couldn't be happier about where Mum is living.

My husband was left unattended in a bathroom which resulted in a fall. The home admitted it was negligence.

Bramble Lodge management and staff work hard and genuinely care for their residents. They offer a secure and warm environment with a range of activities suitable for elderly people. They are often required to deal with challenging circumstances surrounding residents physical and mental health. However some of the basic needs of residents are sometimes neglected and standards of basic care are falling short of reasonable expectations. Getting concerns tackled effectively can sometimes be difficult to achieve.

Everything in the home is excellent.
