Making the decision to place a loved one in residential care can be one of the toughest decisions anyone has ever got to make. The compassionate team are led by the owner Guloo Virdee, the rest home having been in his family since 1995 and he himself grown up as part of the Longton/New Longton Community. “We give 24-hour personalised care” he says “We are family-run and understand the value of family and what it truly means to be a family. We are a home from home.”
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has maintained The Brambles status as ‘Good’ in all areas. Refurbishment throughout the home in 2023 offers a relaxed, comfortable and homely feel. The home, which has 32 well appointed rooms with an ensuite, caters for people needing personal care, those with early stage dementia/Alzheimer’s and end- of-life care. The in-house cook prepares a choice of freshly made food daily, of the highest quality, using locally sourced produce, some of which is home grown.
In July this year the Mayor visited to officially open the beautiful wellbeing garden. With its seated garden area and summer house, it enables the residents to enjoy the outdoor space.
Within the last two years the home has seen the introduction of two new key members of staff. Lisa Singh (above right) with over 30 years experience within the residential care sector providing the direction, knowledge and support required as Nominated Individual/Director.

With a dedicated activities co-ordinator, the residents can enjoy such things as yoga, games, sing-alongs, bingo, arts and crafts, arm-chair exercises, afternoon tea dances, a Christmas party, summer fair, church services and visits by the local priest.
