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.

Tuesday Fun Continues at Brunswick House! Who said the fun had to stop after lunch? Not us! After a busy morning with Matt and his squishy balls, we carried the fun straight into the afternoon with an indoor skittles match! The banter was still flying around the room, along with plenty of cheering, encouragement and laughter. Everyone was getting involved, supporting one another and enjoying a little friendly competition! And WOW, what a finish! It was a very close call, with just ONE point separating 1st and 2nd place! Talk about keeping us on the edge of our seats! 🏆 A BIG WELL DONE to David for taking the win! 🥇 And a huge congratulations to Joyce, who came in a very close second! Brilliant playing from you both!There’s nothing quite like a bit of healthy competition to get everyone going, and our residents certainly know how to bring the atmosphere! Whether knocking those skittles down or cheering on their fellow players, there were smiles all around. What a brilliant way to spend a Tuesday, keeping active, having fun and making memories together!Now, who’s going to take the crown next time? #brunswickHouse #bucklandcare #indoorskittles #tuesdayfun #friendlycompetition #LaughterAndSmiles #makingmemories @followers Buckland Care Dementia Awareness.

Tuesday Morning Fun with Matt and His Squishy Balls! Tuesday morning means one thing at Brunswick House… Matt is back with his squishy balls, and we’re ready for some fun! As always, we had an absolute blast with plenty of laughter, cheeky banter and, of course, some exercise thrown in for good measure!There was lots of squeezing, pumping, lifting and throwing as we got those arms and bodies moving. Everyone was getting stuck in, but things got a little chaotic when a few balls decided to take flight at the same time! Luckily, Matt was on hand to catch them all - quick reflexes, Matt! We might have to put you to the test next week! It’s not just about the exercise; it’s about having fun, sharing a laugh, encouraging each other and making wonderful memories together. ❤️A BIG THANK YOU to Matt for another brilliant Tuesday morning! Now the big question is… what on earth will next Tuesday bring? We’d better be ready!#brunswickHouse #bucklandcare #tuesdayfun #exercisewithmatt #laughteristhebestmedicine #makingmemories @followers Buckland Care Dementia Gloucestershire Gloucestershire Live Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways Barton & Tredworth Community Page 💙 📡
Sunday Chill Day at Brunswick House! Sundays are all about taking things at a gentler pace, and this Sunday we enjoyed some lovely time with our wonderful volunteer Ashley. We started the morning by reading the newspapers, having a good old chat and taking the time to get to know one another a little better. Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that mean the most. But we couldn’t stay chilled all day, so it was time to bring out a classic favourite… Snakes and Ladders! What a game it turned out to be! Just when you thought you were in the lead, along came a snake to send you sliding back down! And when it looked like there was no way you’d make it to the finish, that magical ladder came along to save the day! The room was soon filled with laughter, cheering and plenty of “Come on, we need a six!” Everyone was rooting for their next lucky roll, and there were plenty of twists and turns along the way!🏆 Today's winner was David! Well done, David! A huge thank you to Ashley for spending time with us, sharing smiles and helping make our Sunday special. It's these little moments of connection, fun and friendship that make such a difference.#brunswickHouse #SundayChill #VolunteerLove #makingmemories #snakesandladders #funandfriendship@followers Buckland Care Dementia Gloucestershire Barton & Tredworth Community Page 💙 📡 Tuffley Matters
Friday Fun at Brunswick House! Sue was back, and you know what that means… it was time to get our groove on! We shook our instruments, enjoyed a lively game of balloon tennis, sang our hearts out and danced the morning away - both on the dance floor and from the comfort of our seats. Of course, our very own Dancing King and Queen couldn’t resist showing off their fantastic moves on the dance floor! They certainly know how to put on a show and get everyone smiling!The room wasn’t just filled with our favourite songs; it was bursting with laughter, happy faces and wonderful memories. A huge thank you to Sue for bringing so much energy, fun and happiness to our Friday. We always love having you with us! Because sometimes, all you need is a good tune, a little dancing and a whole lot of laughter to make the day special! #fridayfun #brunswickHouse #musicandmovement #makingmemories #dancingkingandqueen #happydays
Wednesday Pamper Time at Brunswick House! Wednesday brought us a visit from our lovely hairdresser, Esme, and she certainly had a BIG list to work through this week! As always, Esme worked her magic, making everyone look and feel extra special. Some of us were a little overdue for a freshen-up, and one resident even had to do a double take at another resident because they hardly recognised them! Now that's what we call a transformation!There were lovely compliments flying around from both residents and staff, and it just goes to show how much a kind word can brighten someone's day. We all know that feeling when someone notices our new look and makes us smile from ear to ear. That's exactly how it should be!A fresh hairstyle, a little pampering, and lots of smiles - sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. A HUGE thank you to Esme for working her magic once again and helping everyone feel confident, cared for, and special. We appreciate you! #brunswickHouse #pampertime #feelingspecial #littlethingsmakeabigdifference #MakingMemories@followers Buckland Care Parkinson's UK Dementia Awareness.
