The Homestead
from Brenda B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at The Homestead Care home Carterton, until she recently passed away peacefully.
We would like to express our heart felt Thanks to the Dedicated team that cared for my mother on a daily basis, we would like to especially thank the staff that were on duty the day / evening

when my mother passed away, they showed care and compassion, treating my mother with dignity and respect at a very sad and emotional time. My mother passed away in an environment that became her home surrounded by her family. The staff gave us privacy but were close to hand if we needed anything. We really appreciated the sandwiches, snacks and drinks that were supplied by the home at the time. Once again we cannot thank all the staff enough for all that they have done, we are very grateful.

Reply from Pawel Wisniowski, Home Manager at The Homestead

Review of
The Homestead
from Paula M (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

From the first day we walked into The Homestead we felt welcomed and reassured. All the staff were warm and friendly, regardless of their role or the floor on which they worked. Mum's room, on floor 2 was kept clean and tidy. She was so well-cared for, always a member of staff on hand to guide her when

she was confused, and always with kindness, compassion and respect.Mum's physical health and dementia were unpredictable but the great management team and care staff sought every possible way, together with the NHS, to support mum and maintain her safety. They managed her high pain levels so well she was able to say 'I'm happy, I feel I've come alive again' which gave us great comfort. Sadly, mum passed away after only 7 weeks at The Homestead but we are comforted by the knowledge that her final weeks were spent in such a caring and homely environment.

The Homestead
from Y S (Friend of Resident) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I regularly visit a couple of friends at Homestead Care Home, and another has just recently moved in. The home consistently sets the benchmark for exceptional residential care. From the moment you enter, the environment is warm, welcoming and immaculately maintained. The facilities are modern yet homely,

with accessible rooms, beautifully kept gardens, and a range of communal areas that promote comfort and connection.
What truly sets Homestead apart is its exceptional management. The leadership is proactive, visible, and clearly dedicated to the well being of both residents and staff. Their attention to detail and commitment to high standards are reflected throughout the home.
It's a place where residents thrive and families find peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

I have both my mother and father in-law at the Homestead. Upon every visit we find all the members of staff and management to be very welcoming and polite. Although my in-laws require different levels of care, I have full confidence in the care come and all the staff with meeting their needs. I highly

recommend The Homestead to any one and would like to thank everyone for their hard work, care and support given to my in-laws and our family.

Reply from Pawel Wisniowski, Home Manager at The Homestead

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly touched by your kind words and grateful that you took the time to share your experience. Providing reassurance and support to families is just as important to us as the care we give to our residents, and we're so pleased to know that this came through during your mother-in-law's time with us. It's a privilege to be entrusted with the care of a loved one, and we're proud that our team was able to offer both compassion and confidence to your whole family. Knowing that you felt supported and at ease means everything to us. On behalf of everyone at MHA The Homestead, thank you again - your feedback inspires us to keep doing what we do with purpose and heart.

Brookfield Care Home
from Rachel E (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has had exceptional care since being here in July '24. All the staff are so friendly, caring and thoughtful. They communicate well through phone/messages and check in on visits. A few of the regular staff nurses are especially good at continuity of care and good humour regarding the challenges

of dementia care. I have recommended Brookfield Oxford more times than I can remember.

If all care homes were like this the world would be a much better place. Everything has been better than I could believe possible. The staff and management have, without exception, been friendly, caring and professional and have always gone the extra mile to do the best for my mother-in-law and her

Overall Experience

I cannot express our thanks and gratefulness to each and every member of MHA The Homestead, Carterton. The most professional, caring, hardworking team who prioritise the health and happiness of every resident. Mum's carers treat her with respect and love and we are so lucky to have had Mum accepted

here as a resident. The team leaders and the general manager are always approachable, knowledgeable, welcoming and kind. The catering staff have been wonderful. The facility is always spotless, and the ambience is magical. Thank you to everyone at The Homestead.

Reply from Pawel Wisniowski, Home Manager at The Homestead

Thank you for you kind feedback. We are glad that we could make this experience so exceptional. Our team work hard to ensure that we can provide great support in all departments. We understand that care is not only by providing physical support, but also the engagement, interactions, and environment. Big part of our day to day life are meals and celebrating moments of spending this time together like you would do at home. Once again thank you.

Brookfield Care Home
from Laura L (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Dad has been at Brookfield Care Home for the last 6 months in the dementia floor upstairs. We honestly couldn't be happier with his care. Every member of staff has been kind and attentive (with Dad and us), and they keep us fully informed and updated. The food is excellent and Dad is eating well,

the whole place is very clean. Dad needs a high level of nursing care and many other Homes couldn't accommodate his needs. We are so very grateful to Brookfield for taking Dad's care on and for the unlimited kindness and patience they show to him. I hope this review can convey just a small amount of the enormous gratitude we have for Brookfield and every member of their team. THANK YOU.

Reply from Christine Hamilton, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Thank you for the encouraging comments, we really do appreciate them. We try our best to give good care to residents and families, and feedback helps us know we are on the right track. I will share your comments with the team.

Overall Experience

I moved my brother 3 years ago, it was the best thing I ever did. He has put on weight and can now hold a conversation. I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and attention that all the staff give. I'm always contacted if there is anything they are concerned about. We can visit at any time

and are allowed to take him out on days out. All the staff are friendly and very approachable. There is always something going on for the residents whether it be days out or other social events. I can definitely recommend this home.

Reply from Pawel Wisniowski, Home Manager at The Homestead

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very focused here on nutrition and promotion of independence. It's great to hear that you like our approach and that it has been effective. Families are an integral part of our care and we try our best to maintain great communication and involvement in care. Thank you for being so kind and taking time to share your feedback and thank you for your ongoing support.

The Homestead is an excellent care home, the staff are outstanding and it is spotless. It is run in a fantastic manner like a cruise ship. One staff member in particular has the skills to work at Buckingham Palace, it is so sparkling thank you, it gives me comfort to know it is so clean. All the staff

get a 5 star from me, they support both my parents and myself. The manager is alert and thorough, all his staff are switched on. The food is made freshly every day, it is nutritional. It is a happy place, all the staff are friendly l thank you so much for taking care of my beloved parents.

Reply from Pawel Wisniowski, Home Manager at The Homestead

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am glad that all the efforts of our domestic team are noticed and who knows maybe one day we would be able to host anyone from Buckingham Palace here at The Homestead. It's an absolute pleasure to look after both of your parents and seeing their joy especially while you are visiting. Thank you for your support.

Overall Experience

My husband now has two families, and he is very settled. The staff are so good to him, and it is very genuine. When I visit, the same genuine care is shown to me and the family and that is all the staff that are there from carers to catering - the food is excellent. The office staff are always helpful

when get in touch, their rooms are always clean and tidy. One of the places he likes is the craft room he may not do a lot of craft, but he loves his cup of tea and company. As the home is on a social media platform, a lot of what they do is put on there, and I always look forward to what they are doing and keep all the photos.

My mother is very happy at the Homestead and the staff are amazing. They go above and beyond. Recently my mother had her 90th birthday and the staff made sure she and the family had a wonderful day. She is well looked after and the communication between the Homestead and myself, her son, is excellent.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We understand that, as a family member, you put a lot of trust in us and our care provided, hence one of the crucial aspects is our communication with you. We are grateful to see this is seen and complimented. As always it is lovely to see that our resident's life still can flourish with any celebrations despite worry of their later life.

The Homestead is a wonderful place for my Father to live out his last few years. They are caring, and respectful and work so hard to keep him stimulated by laying on all sorts of activities. He is warm, well-fed fed, and well-looked after with regular visits from doctors and other medical support people.

A particular staff member is incredible and a great leader and I have never had a single issue in over 2 years. Keep up the good work guys.
