Reviews for Braeburn Lodge Care Home

I have been to Braeburn several times with my stepdaughter during events they have hosted, including trick or treating and fireworks night. It was lovely to see the smile on the resident's faces when meeting all the children. My step daughter really enjoyed speaking to the resident's and participating in the activities available. They even did a colouring competition this year for Halloween, which is great to see they are still engaging with the local community during these challenging times. We look forward to seeing you all in the future.

My dear Grandma has recently become a resident at Braeburn. She had managed to live at home until the ripe old age of 105!
My mum and I her main caregivers/ support.

Over Christmas she became quite poorly and after much thought, moving forward, she agreed that going into a care home would be the best option.
From the initial phone conversation with the manager, her respite care and now her full time care we have nothing but praise for the wonderful individual care and support.
Jane the manager could sense what a difficult, heartbreaking situation we were faced with and her compassion and reassurance during the move was outstanding.
We had a few tears but I have to say , from the first night we all felt a huge sense of relief. We have absolutely no worries about Mama, she’s cared for and so well looked after. Her room is so lovely and slowly she’s adding more of her personality to it.
We can pop and see mama whenever we want, all the staff are very welcoming and approachable.
More often than not one of the carers is sat with mama when we turn up, she’s usually telling them one of her lovely stories,.

There is always something happening in the lodge, visits from school children, yoga, dancing, singing, baking, visits from the therapy pony etc
Mama is a keen scrabble player and was delighted to hear there was a scrabble club!

May I take this opportunity, on behalf of our family, to say a huge thank you to everyone at Braeburn lodge for taking such good care of our most valuable human. You’re all so loving and caring and we are very grateful to each and every one of you.

Keep up the good work x 🫶🏻💕

This is an amazing nursing home. My brother was resident there for five years and we never had any qualms or concerns about the level of care and attention he received .
He had severe MS and multiple needs - he was always treated with respect and care. His dignity was maintained at all times and the staff were all professional , caring and dedicated - with some lovely touches of humour too.
They took time to know my brother not just as a resident but as a person, an individual with a personality and past.
I cannot thank the staff - all of them - enough for the support they gave to our elderly Mum when she visited my brother and when she had some stays there herself.
My dear brother sadly passed away on the 11th June this year. I cannot praise or thank the team enough for the exemplary care that they showed not only to my brother but also to myself and my wife during the final weeks of my brothers life.
They made him safe, pain free and calm so that he had a good death. They looked after us with tenderness and kindness.
Have no fear about being a resident or a relative - this is a well run , professionally managed caring home.
I thank everyone there for the care they gave.

As a visitor to Braeburn always find the residents happy and comfortable. Activities and Carers friendly and attentive. Great place to be.

I want to say a huge thank you to the manager Jane and her team, who have gone above and beyond to help us as a family, my mum was suddenly taken very poorly and we needed urgent care for my Dad, within 24hrs he had a wonderful cosy room, we will always be grateful for the care and understanding of our situation, Braeburn lodge is a beautiful family orientated place, who make you feel very welcome.

"My cousin came here in August 2024. I am his next of kin and power of attorney. My cousin is well looked after and has made this his home. He is very happy and enjoys the activities. The staff are very friendly and caring. I am extremely pleased with Braeburn Lodge Care Home."

"I honestly cannot fault the staff, they truly do an amazing job. The home is caring, clean and welcoming to both residents and family visiting. My Nanny was well looked after and happy which was a huge reassurance for the family. It’s not just a job for the staff working there, they care and do such a fab job at making the residents feel loved and happy. Even at the end, the staff were sensitive and respectful, looking after Nanny and us, something I truly appreciate and won’t ever forget. I’m just pleased this is where Nanny got to stay, thank you for making it such a positive experience for her."

"The staff at Braeburn Lodge are fantastic. They are helpful, friendly and polite. The home itself is welcoming and bright. It has lovely communal areas with well-organised entertainment. All the ground floor rooms have access to beautiful well-maintained garden space. We really cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done during the Coronavirus Pandemic."

"Braeburn Lodge and the staff are truly amazing. My mother moved here after 5 years in another care home. I knew straight away this was a good place for her to reside. I wish she had moved sooner. The nursing care is professional and compassionate and outstanding. I am really impressed by the communication between the staff and myself. The home is clean and well maintained. I cannot comment on the activities as mum is not really involved as yet but the programme looks entertaining."

"Since my mother has lived at Braeburn Lodge Care Home, she has begun to live again. The daily activities programme has provided fun and stimulation. The food is outstanding and proves t be a daily highlight. However the kindness, support, generosity and willingness of all staff to 'go the extra mile' is what makes Mum's new care home a safe and supportive environment. A unique place; a gem of a care home."

"Absolutely wonderful, I came in trepidation. Given warm welcome and have been amazed at the wonderful way in which the carers cared for me, so kind, nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was satisfactory but not the best. 1) As a diabetic, I found desserts could have been more varied. 2) Vegetables often undercooked. But chef made me a delicious Birthday cake, I was so grateful. I am looking forward to returning."

"My husband was a resident in Braeburn Lodge. During his brief stay, he became ill and was moved to the nursing wing. Sadly he died at the beginning of January 2021, but while he was in Braeburn Lodge he received excellent nursing care. The staff were kind and carried out all nursing procedures with professional care and gentleness. He was kept comfortable at all times. The staff were always kind and considerate to me and always supportive."

"My dad had a catastrophic stroke and unable to return home so we made the difficult decision for him to go into a nursing home as he needs 24/7 care. This home is great and dad is cared for in the best possible way, he is treated with the most utmost respect and dignity anyone could wish for. All the nursing staff are great and very knowledgeable. The home itself is very modern, spacious and clean, the stigma of an old care home does not apply here. During Covid, we have still managed to visit dad following strict measures and we are very happy that the home is taking all the best precautions whilst still enabling visitors. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone who needs a lot of nursing care. 10/10."
