Residents rate two Bangor care homes among the top in Northern Ireland
Bramblewood care home and Bryansburn care home in Bangor, County Down, have been chosen by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in Northern Ireland.
Altogether there are 418 care homes in Northern Ireland with the top 20 receiving an award from the UK’s leading reviews guide to care homes, carehome.co.uk.
The homes were rated on: Overall Standard; Facilities; Care / Support; Cleanliness, Treated with Dignity; Food & Drink; Staff; Activities; Management; Safety / Security; Rooms and Value for Money.
The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.
Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager at carehome.co.uk, said: “We now have over 200,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk so we are able to give people a real insight into what a care home and its staff are like.
“Our reviews show the quality of their care, activities and nutrition as well as if the care home is value for money and the standard of their facilities.
“Reviews of Bramblewood care home and Bryansburn care home show they provide a high standard of care and we would like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in Northern Ireland. It is such a big achievement to be named as a top- rated care home by the residents who actually receive the care as well as their family and friends.”
“Choosing a care home can be emotionally and physically exhausting so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier.
Gavin Kelly, director of Burnview Healthcare which runs the two care homes said: “We at Burnview Healthcare are immensely proud that all our four care homes were voted as being in the Top 20 Care Homes in Northern Ireland for 2021.
“We have achieved Top 20 status now over the last number of years but given the testing times we are in our teams have excelled under the excellent guidance of our four Home Managers.
“We always strive to improve the care we deliver and create an environment in which our residents our happy to call their home and which are staff are proud to work in.
“Without our teams of nurses, carers, housekeeping, laundry, catering, maintenance and administration staff we could not deliver the care we do and as such we are very thankful to all who have helped us achieve our Top 20 accolade.”

The Review Score, as of 30 June 2021 was calculated using a combination of the number of reviews, the average of each of the ratings and the size of the care home. Care homes were excluded from the awards if they were not compliant with their regulatory authority at the time of the announcement of the Awards.
