Who We Are

We are not part of a large, impersonal group of homes. Our Management team have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to taking care of our residents’ needs.
Our Manager has over 25 years of experience in Nursing Homes, she oversees our team of around 60 nursing and auxilliary staff. They have collectively helped Bryher Court achieve “GOOD” from the Care Quality Commission in the category of Caring. It takes a long time to build a good team and we have staff who have been with us for many years and would not dream of working anywhere else.
The management of Bryher Court Nursing Home is committed to delivering the highest possible standards of nursing care to all our residents in a pleasant homely environment covering many conditions and needs. We provide good traditional food along with support and encouragement to maintain independence as long as possible.
We are here to help and will welcome the opportunity of discussing any questions you may have about what we do and who our service is aimed at assisting.

Philosophy of Care
We believe that each patient is a unique person, with individual needs and, as such, is entitled to skilled and sensitive care, delivered with compassion, courtesy and understanding. We welcome close involvement of family and friends in our residents’ care. Emotional, social, religious and cultural needs will be respected and promoted. Residents are encouraged to be fully involved in their care, their right to privacy will be respected at all times.
By providing a home from home – not only for our valued clients (the residents) but for their friends and family, we have an ideal setting in which to provide high quality, person centred care. We are aided by the fact that Bryher Court was built as a family home. It has character. It has homely traditional features which our residents are familiar with and enjoy.
Our aim is to make friends and family welcome because we want them to visit and spend time with their loved ones. We want people to feel at ease with us, to like us and to trust us. In that way we can pull together and do our best for our residents.
