The Brambles care home is specifically designed to provide high-quality residential care to the elderly, including those individuals living with dementia. Our team of qualified, and dedicated, staff focus on the individual needs of residents, and are committed to providing professional and respectful care with the resident at the heart of everything they do. Features such as gardens with low risk walkways, and an activity coordinator, also enable people to engage in life’s everyday simple tasks and pleasures. Essential to the homely feel is the enhanced relationship of trust we build with family, friends and residents.

Luxurious facilities combined with highly trained staff ensures every individual is given superior attention. 24-hour care is provided in a warm, welcoming and safe environment, with delicious meals and daily activities, including a choice of therapeutic approaches.

Together with a lively social calendar, this helps to stimulate people’s minds and empower them to approach their future in a positive way.

Respite Care Yes

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

All those on-site, besides the Service Users, are to wear a facemask at all times after providing evidence of a negative flow test.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
safe-tick Virus Testing We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting.
Safe Visiting Space

Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling

Activities Are So Important

Our activities coordinator incorporates a feeling of self-worth and being respected. “It’s not like work really, you engage in a conversation and people come alive. The small things give you that satisfaction, a feel-good factor”. At the Brambles, it’s all about engaging people. We talk to the families and find out what their loved ones like. We are here for the people that live here.

We believe in keeping activities fresh and interesting, so, as well as regular activities like sensory sessions, arts and crafts, bingo and gentle exercise classes, our weekly activity programme includes reading sessions, group exercises, quizzes, bingo, handicrafts, in-door gardening, story group, one-to-one sessions, singing and entertainment.

We believe in any excuse for our residents to enjoy themselves, so we celebrate themed events throughout the year. Our Annual Garden Party is one highlight, as are Christmas and other religious festivals observed by our residents. Birthdays are also an opportunity to make our residents feel special and, wherever we can, we involve family, friends and staff in the events.
