TESTIMONIALS

When an elderly person becomes unable to live independently, the decision regarding their care is a huge one. Thank goodness I found Bramblings. The care given to my mum was superb from the day she arrived.

The Decision Regarding Care Is Huge, Resident Care

To all the staff at Bramblings, thank you so much for showing mum such love and kindness in her time with you. I always felt so comforted that she was with you all and safe. It gave me time to do things I couldn’t have done if I was the carer. God Bless!

I Always Felt Comforted, Resident Care

Thank you to everyone at Bramblings for being so kind and caring and making not just Mum but the whole family feel welcome.

We Feel So Welcomed, Resident Care

From the moment we went into Bramblings we were welcomed by the staff. They treated Mum with respect and were so patient and caring. They take time to talk to the residents and give them a cuddle. Each and every member of the staff that I met from the manager, carers, cleaners and the excellent kitchen staff took time to talk to me. They are a very special group of caring people. If Mum has to have respite care again, I hope that she will have a place in Bramblings.

Staff Took Time To Talk To Me, Respite Care

Thank you for the wonderful way that everyone at Bramblings cared for my dad. It was his first experience of respite care and I was very concerned. There was no need to be! When I came to collect Dad it was obvious that his stay with you had done him the world of good. He was like a new person!

He Was Like A New Person!, Respite Care

Thank you all so much for the care, dedication and friendship you gave my mum and myself……You made it as near as possible to mum being in her own home.

Thank You All So Much For The Care, Respite Care
