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.

Friday Fun - Part 2: Drumming and Music with Nicki After enjoying our Fish Friday lunch 🐟🍟, it was time for more fun as Nicki joined us for a drumming session.What an amazing afternoon we had! Nicki taught us a beat, and once we had mastered it, we put it to music. Then she challenged us with new beats to learn and add in each time. Before long, we were creating some fantastic rhythms together and having lots of fun along the way.We think we might have a rock band in the making! To make the session even more special, Nicki sang while we drummed. She has a fabulous voice, and everyone loved listening and joining in. It really brought the music to life and made for a wonderful atmosphere.A huge thank you to Nicki for a fun-filled afternoon of music, laughter, and creativity. 💙After such a busy day, we're now enjoying a well-earned rest and looking back on a brilliant Friday! 😊#fridayfun #drummingsession #MusicAndFun #fishfridays #makingmemories #rockbandinthemaking@folloBuckland Care CSt Katharine's Church, Matson, GloucesterGDementia Awareness.

🥊 Friday Fun - Part 1: Our First Boxing Session! 🥊What a fantastic start to our Friday!Today, we tried something completely new – our very first boxing session with Holly, and it went down a treat! We began with a gentle warm-up and some exercises to get our bodies moving before getting stuck into the exciting part – putting on the boxing gloves! 🥊 Holly taught us a variety of boxing sequences, and we had to listen carefully and follow along. It was great fun and a brilliant way to keep active while learning something new.Everyone got involved, and Rich even enjoyed a personal boxing session in his room. There were lots of smiles, plenty of energy, and a real sense of achievement by the end. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are already looking forward to the next session.A big thank you to Holly for such a fun and engaging morning! 🌟#trysomethingnew #boxingtraining #roundone #leftrightleftright #comeandjoinus @followers Buckland Care Holly White Dementia UK Dementia Gloucestershire Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways Tuffley Matters Barton & Tredworth Community Page 💙 📡 ...

George has been putting his engineering skills to good use again! We recently got George a kit that contains instructions for building 12 different robots, and he’s started work on his very first project – a solar-powered robot! 🤖When we first gave him the kit, George confidently said it looked easy. Once he got started, though, he quickly realised it was a bit more challenging than it seemed! 😄 It's been great to see him problem-solve, learn new skills, and stick with it as he works through each stage.This is a project George can pick up whenever he wants, and it’s sure to keep him busy for quite a while. Once he’s completed his solar-powered robot, it will take pride of place in his room, and then it’ll be on to the next exciting project!We’re so proud of his enthusiasm and determination. 💙Does anyone have any ideas for what George could build or try next? We'd love to hear your suggestions in the comments! #𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 #solarrobott #proudofGeorge #buildityourself #CareHomeLife #suggestionswelcome@followers Buckland Care Dementia Awareness.

💦 Terrific Tuesday – Part 2 💦After lunch, we were all wondering how best to cool down in the heat. We started sensibly enough with some foot soaking in bowls and pools of cool water... but then someone had a brilliant idea! 😆Out came the water pistols, and suddenly we were all transported back to our childhoods! 🔫💦There were no teams and no rules – just lots of laughter and fun. Residents sprayed staff, staff sprayed residents, staff sprayed staff, and residents sprayed residents. Nobody was safe! 😂The mops were kept busy throughout the afternoon, and the wet floor signs certainly earned their keep. A few of us may have received a playful telling-off from Georgina and Mary, but it was all part of the fun and taken in great spirits. 😄One of the best moments came from David, who said he hadn't laughed like that for ages and was still chuckling about it more than an hour later. ❤️The only thing powerful enough to stop the water fight was the arrival of the tea trolley—because everyone knows cake comes first! 🍰☕A fantastic afternoon full of laughter, friendship, and making memories together.#TerrificTuesdays #WaterFightFun #laughteristhebestmedicine #makingmemories #CareHomeLife #summerfun #caketime@followers Buckland Care Matson, Robinswood & White City Community Partnership Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways Dementia Awareness.

🌞 Terrific Tuesday – Part 1 🌞We kicked off our Terrific Tuesday with Matt and his fitness session! 💪😊With the warm weather continuing, we kept things gentle today, focusing on small joint movements and stretches to keep everyone moving comfortably. The session was followed by some relaxing massage work using tennis balls – who knew something so simple could feel so good? 🎾We were also delighted to welcome Tess and Kirsty from our P.A.T. team. 🐾❤️ Together, we visited residents around the home, sharing cuddles, smiles, and plenty of happy moments. Anne was especially pleased to see Kirsty and even shared one of her favorite treats with her – a banana! Kirsty brought so much joy wherever she went, and seeing the smiles she put on everyone's faces was wonderful. Sometimes a wagging tail, a gentle cuddle, and a friendly visit are all it takes to brighten someone's day. 🥰A lovely morning filled with movement, companionship, and lots of smiles.#TerrificTuesdays #patdogs #wellbeing #keepingactive #CareHomeLife #makingsmiles@followers Buckland Care Pets As Therapy Dementia Awareness.
