My mum has been in the care home for a few years and is very settled there. The staff are caring, helpful and patient. But I have found that some of her items can go missing and are not always found. It is great to see that there are activities, some of which my mum does participate in and it's
so nice to see her enjoying herself. The kitchen are very good at trying to cater for my mum's eating preferences which can be difficult. I am very happy with her care.

A lovely, caring environment for Mum. She was helped to settle in earlier in the year and has been very happy. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful and always happy to help with any queries. The residents have a fun and stimulating range of activities.

My mum has been in Broadmead for over a year now. Staff are always cheerful and welcoming. They always seem very kind and caring towards the residents . Mum seems happy and settled in the home . Despite having very advanced dementia she has awareness of when people are kind to her or not. She always
responds very positive's the staff and tells me how lovely they are . Because she used to be a carer and has a nurturing personality, she can still recognize this in other people .

Mum has been a resident at Broadmead Rest Home for almost 3 years, and throughout this whole period I have only experienced warmth, kindness and compassion from all of the staff, from carers through to management. The care home is so well run, and it is such a relief to know that mum is safe and
secure and being treated with dignity and respect.

Broadmead is one of the best rest homes that I have seen, the staff are both friendly and helpful and the home is maintained extremely well.
My only observation is that there seems to be a need for additional activities to keep the residents amused as they often seem bored when I attend but having
said that I only see one day each week.

I have found Broadmead to be excellent in every area and my father is very well cared for. He has very complicated communication issues and all the staff are very kind and patient. We are very welcomed when we visit and it feels very much like the residents home.
02 December 2025
Welcoming staff and a lot of interaction with residents. Varied menu providing a balanced selection of food and drinks. Good overall decoration and cleanliness of the property. Care taken with resident's personal hygiene but a lot of personal items tend to go missing and not get returned despite
naming everything.
02 December 2025
The one real concern is the difficulty in understanding one or two key members of the care staff I.e.use of the English language, particularly in relation to phone calls between them and myself in relation to care updates for my very elderly father in law. He cannot understand or hear what they say
to him sometimes.

Cannot fault Broadmead since my dad moved in, always treated with kindness and respect, staff are very professional and efficient, nothing seems too much trouble. We are kept up to date if there are any issues, not they there are many.

you all.

Our friend has been at Broadmead Resthome since November 2024 and is gradually settling in. We have been so impressed with the care given by all members of staff, encouraging her to join in when she feels able but equally happy for her to spend time in her room bringing meals to her if necessary.
It's great to follow Broadmead on social media and see all the activities that the staff organise for the residents. The home is spotlessly clean, the food served is excellent and the birthday cake made for our friend was superb and much appreciated, especially as it was the Christmas party day so a lot going on for the staff.
The management is very good at keeping us informed regarding her medical care. Walking through the front door, one immediately senses a very happy and relaxed atmosphere.
I can highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a home for their loved one.

Mum has been at Broadmead Resthome for just over three months and has settled in extremely well. The staff are so kind, caring and always appear so jolly! Mum's participation in the numerous activities has increased significantly due to the encouragement of the fabulous staff. Whenever I visit mum,
always tells me that all the staff are so lovely and she is very happy. I am very impressed with all aspects of Broadmead. I always get a warm and friendly welcome whenever I visit and always informed on mum's welfare. I feel very reassured that Broadmead are caring for mum in a kind, compassionate manner and I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend it.

Dad was a resident for around two years and was looked after amazingly - when he passed away last December, not only did they treat him with the respect and dignity he deserved, they were so caring toward myself and my siblings, giving us as much time alone with Dad as we needed.
Dad was admitted
to the care home towards the end of lockdown, it was very rarely we were told we couldn't visit and they made sure that all their residents were kept safe.
The carers are all fantastic, very empathetic towards residents' needs and would let us know as soon as possible if there were any medical concerns or problems.
The food was good quality and there was always lots of activities and entertainment.

My father is looked after extremely well. Whilst frail, he likes to walk, and the staff are always provide a steady hand if needed. The carers are all wonderful and let us know immediately if there is a medical concern or issue so we are always informed. Whenever we ask him if he is happy the answer
is always a resounding yes.

Went to visit my mum on the 7th of July 2024. My sister and I were both blown away by the attention they gave my mum and us as relatives. They were so kind, and went above and beyond our expectations. It has enabled us to feel safe knowing Mum is being cared for by not just professionals but
empathetic and caring professionals. Well done Broadmead staff.

My father was a resident at Broadmead Resthome for around three years. From the day I visited when searching for a care home, the place felt like a home, not a business. The staff throughout his time their were compassionate, caring and helpful. In three years, our family had some real ups and downs
with Covid and various issues with Dad's deteriorating health. At all times we were informed and updated of what was happening. The food was of good quality, lots of interactive entertainment (just check the social media page for a view) and a smile when you were arriving and leaving. With all the challenges the staff have to deal with in a care home, they have always done a great job in my opinion.
