We moved my elderly mum into Brackley Care Home recently and can say that all the staff at Brackley have been wonderful. Particularly, Julie who handled all the onboarding and smoothed out the process. The facilities are all modern, the staff courteous and helpful and the food is excellent. It's a
nice and peaceful environment even if it appears close to an industrial estate!

We are happy with the continued care that is being given to my sister in law.

My Father has been in Brackley Care Home since December 2025, we had a family crisis and the staff at the home really helped us to get him some for respite care initially. This has now become a permanent care home for his ongoing care. At home Dad was quite sedentary and had lost his zest for life.
The care home has been giving him stimulating exercises and classes and he is absolutely thriving on them and his sparkle is back in his eye.
The level of care he gets is incredibly high and we drop in on him unannounced and always find him clean, comfortable and he absolutely raves about how good the food is.
All the staff I meet are incredibly helpful and we are kept informed of any issues that need dealing with straightaway.
My father is a very happy man in the home and we feel he is in the right place for him.

My wife has been in the Brackley care home for approximately 20 months now. She has advanced dementia, and was very poorly when admitted due to unsatisfactory care at a previous home. The staff at Brackley have done wonders, and I can only say the level of care is superb.
When my wife was admitted
into Brackley I was told that both her and myself would become part of the the Brackley family, and they have been true to there words. They have given me so much time and support. Every member of staff that I have talked to has shown me kindness and empathy.
God bless all of them.

Yet again, another 2 weeks successful stay for my husband to give me a break to see family. He is very happy there, and I don't have to worry at all, knowing he is very well looked after. All the staff are caring, friendly and helpful And he really enjoys the food!!
He is always given his'
usual 'room, which helps him settle in. Many thanks to everyone

Mother is happy at the home and we do not need to worry about her care. She regards the staff as her new family.

My mother is in BCH and from the start of her stay both she (and us as a family) have felt very supported. The team are professional warm and friendly. She receives great care and the staff are attentive to her needs. My mother participates in many of the very well organised activities, and the
activity team are enthusiastic and encouraging. The home is extremely well run & management approachable & supportive.

Wonderful care, entertainment and food
26 January 2026
Mum was very happily resident in Brackley Care Home for just two months. She went in to trial respite care but amazingly, she had decided in days that this care home was where she wanted to live out her life.
I have to say the whole process of admission was very straightforward and rapid from the
first phone contact to her arrival five days later. What I thought might be a difficult transition for her morphed into the easiest decision of the last twelve months.
Your main asset is your brilliant and committed staff right from admin, Nursing and all support staff - I dread to make a list or name names because I'll miss someone out! Mum enjoyed the social side of the home and support of other residents. Sometimes phone access was tricky.
Mum was given end of life care at the home - as a retired GP, I can vouch for all the effort, attention and commitment from day and night staff. You kept the family going with kindness and perfectly timed offers of sandwiches. Thank you so very much.

The cleanest, most welcome, caring carehome I have been to. The staff are so caring and passonate about looking after the residents. the manager: Steph is incredible always so welcoming and listens to all concerns, and promptley sorts them. the head house keeper is efficient and lovely, and Julie is
fantastic. all in all, its a fantastic care home. :)

My mother moved into Brackley Care Home in October 2023. To be honest, we initially looked at it due to it's proximity to family, but then discovered it was by far the best we could find. We anticipated mum being in the dementia care ward, but were delighted when they said she could be in the main
nursing care area. Having said that, we know that the dementia care is superb so we know that mum's future is in safe hands. She is so well cared for and we love that she is taken out on trips. The security of the place is excellent, with the need to sign and out. Mum loves the entertainment that is laid on, the different guests and visitors who attend to provide all sorts of stimulation. The facilities are excellent, the staff caring and friendly, and we are so happy that mum has such a fabulous place to live.

My mum has been at the Brackley Nursing Home for over a year now. I have always found the staff to be exceptional in so many ways. They always go that extra mile, making sure nobody feels left out in the multitude of activities that take place. I must especially mention Kat & Debbie who are the
activities staff. Mum was very poorly when she arrived but the care she has received from day one has been second to none and she has thrived since then. Highly recommended.
16 December 2025
All staff very welcoming and despite being modern, it feels very homely compared to others I visited.
Food is excellent - and as I live so far away, I am grateful for the opportunity to eat with Mum at no cost when arranged in advance.
There does seem to be a staff shortage at many times (Mum
generally requires 2 carers for mobilisation and toileting) - but again, it seems an issue with this sector.
All staff approachable and the home has also arranged transportation to funeral and social events outside of Brackley.

My mother stayed for two weeks respite care in October. Her room was spotlessly clean and there were flowers, chocolates and toiletries along with a welcome card waiting for her, a lovely gesture. The staff were always caring and attentive and had time to talk. Many thanks for all your kindness.
24 October 2025
I and my family are very happy with everything here and have no complaints! Lovely staff too. Thank you.
03 October 2025
Mum received a very warm welcome on arrival, for a week's respite care. Red roses, a card, chocolates and toiletries in her room were a personal touch. The room was spotlessly clean and Mum's name was already up outside, which she appreciated. My brother and I were welcomed to eat with Mum before we
left, which gave us an insight into the dining facilities: metal cutlery, white tablecloths and not a plastic beaker in sight! The residents are treated with respect, as adults, which is not the case with other homes I have recently experienced. My impression was that Mum was well cared for and included in activities throughout the week, including an outing to a garden centre for a coffee. She has particularly mentioned Alice for her excellent care although all staff were brilliant.

My husband went in to Brackley care home as he was dealing with Parkinsons desease and could no longer be cared for at home. The staff did all they could to help him with this very debilitating condition and cared for him till his passing. The family will be forever grateful for the care and
kindness shown by all the staff not only to him but also to the rest of his family. There were many staff who went above and beyond to do all they could for him in very difficult circumstances. The only thing I would mention is that at times the staff seemed overstretched due to the need for more staff.
03 October 2025
Mum moved Brackley Care Home 3 months ago after her current care home suddenly closed, the staff have been very welcoming and supportive. Naturally it is taking a while for mum to settle and get to know her new environment, staff and residents and I will be honest I was worred about her becoming
isolated,but today I had first hand experience of her joining in, she came out so happy and kept saying how much she had enjoyed going to the cinema -it really made me smile and i felt a little bit of weight lifting as it is such a heart searching time when you have to move your mum from her family home of 60 years to ensure she is safe and can be cared for 24/7 .
I certainly feel mum is in good hands and i always feel welcome when i go to see her, often taking my dog.
Thank you

Mum has thoroughly enjoyed her Respite here & I feel Mum's care & happiness has been truly catered for by all the wonderful kind staff
03 September 2025
The staff were lovely, but treated poorly. The staff were scared to raise any issues with the management. This means the home struggles to retain staff and it relies heavily on agency staff. This leads to poor continuity of care.
My mum only had two things she wanted: a bath every other day, and a
short walk every morning. The home regularly failed to provide these. Because the staff turnaround was so high, they didn't notice changes in my mum's health.
We tried to raise these issues but ultimately things were deteriorating rather than improving. The management is poor and the staff conditions are awful, frankly. We took the decision to move my mum to a different home. We promised other residents and family members who are also unhappy that we would post this review.
