My father has settled very well into Bramble Lodge. He seems very happy, telling us how lovely the food is. (Dad no longer has capacity). Natasha and all the staff are extremely caring, very approachable and always happy to help. The home is in a lovely condition and always kept clean. I would like
to thank everyone for taking such good care of my dad. I would not be able to manage without them. Thank you.

Excellent care given

Overall I have seen a good improvement in facilities and decor of the home over the last year or so. I am very happy with care my mum receives from the staff. Its a shame the chairs have been moved from the entrance area as my mum always sat there and saw everyone goby, which I felt gave her some
interaction. Apart from that Im very pleased with the home, I must add that it alway smells nice Im never noticed a bad smell when visiting.

Mum gets upset when other residents invade her space but this has improved a bit since the layout was re-arranged recently, sometimes her laudry gets misslaid even though it has been labelled. Mum feels she has to get up and go to the toilet on her own, even though she needs help as she is unable to
wait too long due to continence reasons.
Generally good though, staff caring and respectful.
Mum remarked upon the food being good.

I am extremely happy with the way my husband is being treated at all times. He is treated with kindness and dignity. He is always clean and is happy and content.

As a family, we have seen an overall improvement in Mum since she moved to Bramble Lodge.
She is eating better and engaging well with her carers.
Staff pleasant and helpful
Communication between staff and family is good too - I'm kept up to date with Mum's development/care needs etc

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.

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.

What a calm, clean, caring home! We were made to feel so welcome from the first visit. You can feel the love in this home.

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.
