I find that the care my father receives is excellent. The carers are so attentive and always available. Having attended a couple of functions the management have put on a good and varied performances. Nothing seems too much for anyone.

My father-in-law went into Brize Meadow for respite but so enjoyed his stay that he decided to stay. He is well looked after by caring, attentive staff who keep us well informed. We attended the home's New Year celebration which everyone enjoyed, residents, family and staff as one. We feel happy
that our parent is in a lovely environment for his last years.

My mother has dementia which unfortunately is now having an impact on her behaviour and leads to her losing her temper. While visiting her last week she became anxious and frustrated resulting in a fall. I called for help and the staff were very quick to arrive, helping her to get comfortable and
check for any injury. I'm so grateful for the compassion & care they all showed, not only to Mum but also to me.

I have visited Betty a few times, and staff have always been friendly and professional. I had lunch with Betty today, and that was extremely tasty, and once again, the staff were excellent.

Best care home I've ever visited and this is the same on every visit.
Kind, caring, friendly and very clean.
Well done to you all!

Nobody really wants their close relative to go in to a care home. It certainly wasn't something that I embraced. But this place feels like a hotel when you walk in. The decor is really nice. Most importantly the management and staff are all lovely. They are very caring and they are simply focused on
the residents and their needs.
There's too many makes to mention to thank but The manger could not be any better, she cares enormously and then there's one member of staff, in particular, who just brightens everybody's day. and then there's another member of staff that has the kindest soul out there. Every single member of the team 'cares' and i know it's what they're paid to do but they do it with all of their soul and passion.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you do every second of the day. Without you all we would be so lost. Mum is very lucky to have you all.

Mum has been very well looked after. The staff are warm and kind and the care home is clean bright and has a happy atmosphere, visitors are treated with respect. When we ask any questions, the staff always ensure a fill and thorough answer. Mum is very happy and has enjoyed her stay at the care
home.

Whilst it is never nice having to place someone in a home especially someone you love. The team at Bronze Meadow Lodge have been very supportive and helpful. It is a pleasure to visit the home it feels more like a hotel than a home which is nice.

When my Dad passed away last year, my Mum was in hospital, and I visited several care homes to find a place where she would be looked after and have companionship - although physically frail, she is mentally active. When I visited Brize Meadow, I knew I had found the ideal home for her. The staff
are superb - kind, caring, and mindful of residents' individual needs. There are many activities (Mum loves films in the cinema room, and musical performances) and the food is wonderful - delicious meals and great cakes! The building is light and airy, with smart, comfortable furnishings, and the delightful garden is easily accessed. One huge plus for Mum is the policy on pets - there are birds there which she feeds, and families are able to bring animals to the home. Visiting dogs always bring joy to the residents! Mum tried respite care last year and decided she wanted to stay permanently. I am delighted that she is so content, settled and well cared for in her new surroundings.

Brize Meadow Lodge in my opinion is just fabulous. The staff are so attentive, nothing is any trouble. The care they give my very good friend is excellent. The facilities are fabulous. Cleanliness is just top notch.

I would like to thank all the wonderful staff for looking after my sister who has bn with you for nine months. Your caring approach and attention to detail is wonderful. I could not wish for a better place for her to be as difficult it is to see her bn so poorly.. all the staff that I have met
when visiting her have bn so dedicated. We thank you all from the bottom of our heartsx

From the first time I stepped into Brize, it felt good! It's bright, spacious & well designed. The room on the Ground Floor my Father was allocated was also a good size with all amenities, looking out onto a small garden. At 97, it wasn't easy for my father having been so independant - the staff,
however knew how to treat him - that was with considerable kindness & care.
He was only there 7 months until his passing but he was made comfortable right up to the end.

I have had a good time staying here. Was only for 2 weeks of respite care, but I am going before I can't manage on my own. The staff are very friendly and helpful, it is like a hotel. Could do with different activities some weeks. Needs a few different fillings in sandwiches.

A nice break from the hospital to home. Very enjoyable. The stay has helped me back to my feet.
26 February 2025
Accommodation clean and comfortable, like a luxury hotel. Staff all seem professional, caring and helpful. Food seems attractive and looks nutritious and varied. All in all, I am impressed with all aspects and consider it fortunate to have a care home so close to home (approx. 5 miles).

I have used Brize Meadow for respite several times over the last couple of years for my parents who are in their nineties. Due to an infection and their increasing needs they moved in permanently in November 2024, where the staff helped with the transfer of my mum from hospital directly to the home.
I have been very grateful for the enormous care that my mum and dad have received throughout this process. They are now settled and content and looked after excellently. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and their commitment to ensuring that their stay is comfortable. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the home is bright and feels like a high class hotel. The atmosphere is calm, comfortable and welcoming and the staff display a genuine affection and care for the residents. Would give 7 stars if I could!

Mother, aged 103 years, stayed for six weeks. We were delighted with the whole standard of care.
Facilities, food and cleanliness were excellent. A special mention to staff who went above and beyond. Always cheerful and kind.

Since my mum moved to Brize Meadow Lodge in August this year, the staff could not have done more to support her and our family. The management team have shown patience and flexibility as we continue to navigate our way through securing funding, sharing their knowledge and experience of the systems
in place to support us while in the process of selling Mum's house. The management team and carers work tirelessly to establish relationships with residents based on trust and respect. They are always quick to respond when there is an issue and their understanding of and insight into Alzheimer's disease on my mum's behaviour has been invaluable. My mum feels safe and secure at Brize Meadow Lodge and I am confident that she is well cared for by a team that puts the needs of their residents at the heart of all they do.

My mother has been well looked after in the eight months that she has been residing in Brize Meadow Lodge. The staff are wonderful and the management are caring, kind and very approachable. It is more like a family home with a good feeling. My mum likes all the staff, particularly three members of
staff. The rooms are fabulous - more like a posh hotel and Mum is so happy to have her own shower.
27 September 2024
My mother has been in Brize Meadow Lodge for nearly three months having respite care, prior to us moving her to a retirement apartment. We have been very happy with most aspects of the care home and even my mother, who has always been hard to please, has been unable to find fault. The only area for
improvement would be communication. Acknowledgement of emails would have been reassuring and there were times I should have been informed when something had arisen. Would have liked regular care updates and Mum would have appreciated more organised trips from the care home.
