About the Home

Accommodation

The residents find the traditional style of the house warm and comforting. We have 44 peaceful bedrooms at Brunswick, many with ensuites and recent renovations. There are two comfortable lounges and a conservatory for residents to choose from, which they are also welcome to entertain relatives in.

The grounds of the house have beautiful recently refurbished garden, courtyard, and a memorial garden. The gardens are well kept and are enjoyed by all in the spring and summer.

Activities

Residents may prefer to relax and rest or to be involved in all the activities, which take place on a daily basis during the week. We also go on regular outings to the local areas of interest. Many of the activities have been suggested by residents and we continue to encourage this practice. Ideas on any kind of improvement are welcome at all times at Brunswick House. The residents are our main priority and we do everything within our power to make them feel that this is their home.

Cuisine

Meals provided at Brunswick House are freshly prepared by our in-house cooks on a daily basis. Dishes are varied and balanced and the kitchen staff provide residents with choices at every meal time.

We accommodate all dietary requirements and adapt meals dependent on each resident’s needs.

Types of Care

Residential Care

Residential care is for older people who are finding it increasingly difficult to manage at home without additional help and support.

Residents will not only be supported with personal care but our devoted staff will take over all the everyday tasks of laundry, cooking, gardening and housekeeping, allowing the residents more time to relax and enjoy themselves in a comfortable and safe environment.

It is our priority to make everything as seamless as possible in the moving process so that your loved one maintains their independence, dignity and identity at all times. Choosing the right care home for a loved one can be an overwhelming task and we will be there to support you throughout the whole process.

We encourage friends and family to visit as often as they can and everyone is of course invited to come along to the parties and events we regularly hold for the residents.

At Buckland Care we take time to get to know each resident, tailoring the care we provide to suit each individual person.

Our dedicated team is proud of the facilities available to residents, and work hard to ensure they retain as much independence as possible but rest assured, we will be there 24 hours a day should they need us.

Nursing Care

At many of our homes we provide nursing care for older people with health problems. The care is 24 hours and is delivered by our experienced nursing teams who are both compassionate and professional, ensuring your loved one is looked after at all times.

There is a Registered Nurse on duty at all times, supported by the care staff, who all regularly attend training to keep up-to-date on all levels of care. When needed, our nurses will seek expert advice from visiting practitioners such as chiropodists, GPs and specialist consultants.

Our nursing equipment, such as profiling beds and moving & handling equipment, is updated frequently to ensure we can cater to our nursing residents’ specialist needs in the safest possible way.

We take into consideration each individual’s physical and emotional requirements and do our utmost to create an environment in which our residents feel comfortable and at ease.

Dementia Care

Choosing a care home for someone living with dementia is a major decision. You need to be sure that your loved one will be in an understanding, nurturing environment with professionals who have the experience and knowledge to safely care for them.

At all Buckland Care homes that is exactly what we offer. We do everything we can to make our residents feel at ease, with tailored features for those living with dementia. Every carer is trained to care for dementia patients and our homes have been adapted to aid those living with a dementia-related illness.

Respite Care

Buckland Care homes provide respite care for people who may only require a short stay in a care home. Respite care is an invaluable service for those who care full-time for their loved ones, providing them with a chance to take a break from daily responsibilities.

Some residents use it as a way to trial the home before moving in full term, to see if they will feel settled and at home. The length of time residents stay is flexible and can be anything from a week to a few months. We will work with you and deliver a high level of professional care to all residents no matter how long they are staying with us.

Palliative or End of Life Care

Ultimately, we all want to end our lives in quiet dignity, free from pain, in a place where we feel at home. The final stages of a person’s life can be a complicated and emotionally overwhelming experience for the family.

We aim to control pain and ease the suffering of our residents, ensuring that we make their lives as fulfilling as possible through to the end. Buckland Care also provides tailored emotional support and practical guidance for families and friends throughout end of life care.

Day Care

In all of our homes at Buckland Care, we offer day care for those who wish to socialise with their peers and be looked after during the day but return to their own home in the evening.

The benefits of this are plentiful: allowing full time carers to rest; socialising with like-minded people and keeping the body and mind active; relieving oneself of the hassle of personal care and home-cooked meal preparation; a simple change of scene. With our welcoming staff on hand all day, individuals can feel safe and secure within our friendly care homes and enjoy a different environment to their own home.

Staff

Many of the exceptional staff have been at Brunswick for a long time and are devoted to the wellbeing of the residents. They are considerate, accommodating and supportive, not just towards the residents but towards their families as well.

Wednesday Afternoon Boxing Fun! Wednesday’s fun continued into the afternoon with another fantastic boxing session with our lovely Holly! 🥊We kicked things off with a warm-up before getting stuck into the pad work. First up were the number sequences, followed by the colour sequences, and before we knew it, we were punching, concentrating and working hard! There was plenty of energy, lots of laughs and, of course, a bit of friendly banter along the way! A special shout-out goes to Pat, who joined us for her very first session! Despite only having the use of one hand, Pat gave it her absolute all and had a brilliant time. She really enjoyed herself, and we loved seeing her getting stuck in! A huge thank you to Holly for another brilliant session. We’re already looking forward to the next one, and fingers crossed Pat will be back with both hands ready to go!

Tuesday Fun Continued… Beach Ball Bonkers! Well, things got a little WILD when the beach balls and pool noodles came out for a good old-fashioned hit about! As this was our first time trying this game, we weren’t quite sure how it would go… and let’s just say it didn’t exactly go to plan! Balls were flying everywhere, noodles were swinging, and the room soon descended into happy chaos! But do you know what? The laughter that filled the room was the BEST part! There were even a few cheeky hits aimed at me while I was retrieving the balls and getting in the way… apparently, I was fair game! Don't worry, though, no one was hurt, and we all came away smiling!Sometimes things don’t go quite as expected, but who cares when everyone is having fun? We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and one thing is for sure… this game is definitely making a comeback! #brunswickHouse #tuesdayfun #makingmemories #laughteristhebestmedicine #LifeAtBrunswickHouse #newgames@followers Buckland Care Dementia Gloucestershire Diabetes UK GameSpot Matson, Robinswood & White City Community Partnership Barton & Tredworth Community Page 💙 📡 Gloucestershire Live ...

A Spooktacular Crafty Morning! This morning, I spent some lovely one-to-one time with the wonderful Glenys and Lou in their rooms, getting creative and making some Halloween characters! Glenys chose to make a cat 🐈‍⬛ and a witch 🧙‍♀️, while Lou went for a pumpkin 🎃 and Frankenstein 🧟‍♂️. With a little help, we managed to get everything stuck where it was supposed to go… although there were a few tricky moments when things seemed to stick to us instead! We had so much fun and shared so many laughs along the way. These two really are characters themselves, and I absolutely love spending time with them! It's so lovely being able to spend individual time with our residents, enjoying a little creativity, a good chat and plenty of giggles, all in the comfort of their own rooms. It's often the little moments that make the biggest memories. Thank you, Glenys and Lou, for such a fun morning. You've certainly added a little extra spooktacular spirit to our day! #brunswickHouse #halloweencrafts #OneToOneActivities #makingmemories #SpooktacularBuckland Care Dementia Awareness.
