About Bramley Court

Bramley Court is a nursing home in Histon, near Cambridge. We care for older people, including many living with dementia, and we take respite bookings for people who need a stay of a few weeks rather than a permanent place. Having qualified nurses on duty at all hours means we can look after people whose health needs are considerable and usually manage a period of illness here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Our care staff work alongside the nursing team and know the people living here well enough to notice when somebody is not their usual self long before it becomes urgent. We put as much effort into keeping this somewhere people live. Rooms are people's own, filled with their own furniture and photographs. The day has a shape without being a timetable, there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and the food is meant to be looked forward to. For people living with dementia we keep surroundings calm and familiar, learn about earlier lives so conversation has somewhere to go, and train staff to work with how somebody experiences the world rather than correcting them. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are genuinely proud of that, and equally clear that it describes work already done rather than a standing entitlement. Families are welcome and are part of how decisions get made.
