Bryant House Rest Home & Dementia Care

Bryant House has been my mother’s home now for eight months.she initially went there for three weeks respite but decided to stay on. The care and love that owners Greg and Suzie and the gorgeous staff of Bryant House show my mother is unbelievable!! As POA for my mother’s wellbeing I couldn’t have asked for a better home for her. My mother’s health both physical and mental has improved since she has been there. She enjoys the company of the staff and other residents and has been inundated with visitors from family and friends from far and wide as Bryant House makes everyone who visits very welcome.

Visited our dear friend Anne yesterday and we LOVED the whole caring vibe of the place. She enjoys the company of the staff and there is a good balance between clear structure and routine to the day and fun options. We loved getting to pet the dog together. Great place!!

I love Bryant House and the staff. But much more importantly, my mother loves it there, too - the caring and professional staff on-hand 24/7, the care she receives and good food she gets, and the other patients. She is very happy with her room, en suite, large common area and the outside patio where she can walk by herself in safety. My mother has taken up knitting again for the first time in years, thanks to the staff who organize many activities for their wards. And it is a very welcoming place for visitors who can pretty much come and go as they please (they just need to let the staff know), and take their loved ones out, as well. The review below by Kim Jobson, my sister-in-law, should be ignored. Despite her claim to the contrary, it is written out of spite and vindictiveness because she has not been able to browbeat the staff of Bryant House to jump when she told them to. For the record, my mother enjoys the patio area and has never once complained about a lack of potted plants. I am also disappointed that she has weaponized her daughter Hazel, a minor, to write a negative review. I found Hazel in Mum's room on a visit recently, and Hazel complemented Mum on her room and how she had decorated it. Visitors making cups of tea for is fine, by the way.

After repeated requests and assurance that flowers and plants would added to make the outdoor area more welcoming the entrance and garden area is still devoid of love. Plastic grass, low green manicued hedge,a white fence and a locked gate. Nowhere to sit with my lovely mother inlaw accept a hot bare concrete entrance not a single colorful plant, the vases of plastic flowers inside are a joke. Yes, I understand that Bryant House is developing a new and wonderful facility but my concern is not for there future clients but for the ones that are in their present care. It would not be hard to follow through with their promises and make the place a little more homely. This is not a vendetta, it is a written out of frustration from promises that have not been kept, at this stage of life time is not a luxury that we have. Please go and see for yourself, I sincerely hope that you prove me wrong because that means the promises have been kept.

I went to go visit my grandma in Bryant house. She’s an 86 year old women who moved in July last year. I’ve only been fortunate to visit her twice since she’s moved in. I wanted to take her on a walk as the retirement doesn’t make plans for their residence outside of the home. When arriving back we were welcomed to the home with fake grass and pure white walls with no colours to make the people feel homely. I sat her outside to feel the breeze and asked her if she would like a cup of tea, as when we lived together it was a known tradition. Just for me to come back in disappointment that the home would not let me make my grandmother a TEA! and that she had to wait till dinner. It’s sad that a 86 year old is being denied to have a tea with her granddaughter without reason.
