I recently attended some of the lovely events held at Brookdale for residents and their loved ones, including the Summer Fair. It was a fantastic day very welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. The staff and home manager Lois went above and beyond to make the occasion special, creating a warm and friendly
atmosphere throughout. Residents were smiling all day, and the buffet was beautifully presented and delicious. I'm really looking forward to attending future events at Brookdale.
Reply from Lois Samuels, Home Manager at Brookdale Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're glad you had fun at our summer fair and welcome you to join us for all our events at Brookdale. Hopefully see you at our resident Christmas Party! Many thanks - Lois

A warm and welcoming Care Home. Staff are very attentive and understanding of residents individual needs. A varied timetable of activities is produced each week for residents to engage in should they wish to. The Activities Co-ordinator is fabulous. All the rooms are cleaned to a very high standard
as is the home. A lovely coffee shop, beautifully decorated, is across the annex for residents to visit. All in all an extremely excellent Care Home, Management are approachable and always available to listen, help and solve any concerns. I would not hesitating in recommending.

Our family wish to thank the care home for organising a 99th Birthday party for resident our relative in their lovely coffee lounge today 11th August. Nothing was too much trouble. We had 2 babies and 2 boys plus many family members. Everyone had a great time and in particular Dad enjoyed the day. Thankyou

I'm always so happy to visit my grandad in Brookdale, the staff are so lovely and welcoming. They are always upbeat, professional and provide wonderful care to the residents here. I particularly enjoy coming on a Sunday for the lunch in the coffee shop, it provides a more intimate visit with your loved
one and the food is always top quality at a great price. The rooms and public areas are always spotlessly clean and my grandad is very well looked after by all staff. Thank you, Brookdale.

A friend had been a resident of Brookdale for a few months now and it's been brilliant. The staff are friendly and approachable. They treat the residents with the up most care at all times and the residents are always smiling. The facilities are fantastic from a small cafe to get tea and cake that's
decorated beautifully to all the activities on a weekly basis. There's something for all of the residents to enjoy! Even visitors are made to feel welcome. Great place for those that need that little extra help.

My dad has been resident at Brookdale for five and a half years. During that time there has been the pandemic, changes in staff, leadership and ownership, but the quality of care has never diminished. Communication is a strength as is the quality of care and knowledge and understanding of the residents.
A real effort is made to provide engaging activities to suit all preferences and families are enabled to feel like genuine partners to in their relative's care. When dad is confused, the staff are loving and caring, and when he is grumpy, patient and kind. Every time we visit, dad tells us that he is happy, and that is the measure of how well he is cared for.
Reply from Lois Samuels, Home Manager at Brookdale Care Home

Thank you so much for your review & kind words. I've had the pleasure of being alongside your Dad for all these years and what a privilege it is to look after him, as it is all of our residents. I will pass on your review to the team - thank you again! Lois

I moved my friend here from another care home in March. After just 24hrs I noticed a big change in him. He's not mithering me to take him out all the time as he's happy staying in with all the entertainment going on in Brookdale. He's so happy now and it's really good to see. The difference here is
the staff care and look after the residents at all times. It's great I love the place. Well done to the office admin and all the staff. You all do a great job and are very caring.

Our Mum has been a resident here since September 2023. Initially we had no communication from Brookdale to tell us what was expected from us, as relatives and, as this was all new to us, we felt as though some communication from the home could have helped us all - it was almost non existent.
More
recently, however, changes seem to have been made. Lines of communication are excellent and we are very happy with the care shown to our Mum. The staff seem kind and patient and Mum (for the most part) seems very settled. On entering Brookdale we are always greeted with a smile and staff members are always on hand to assist. We feel reassured that the staff at Brookdale do all they can to make our Mum's time there as comfortable as possible - and that makes us, as her family, very grateful.

Our Mum sadly passed away in February, having entered the home in October 2024. I wanted to note the care and compassion shown to her in her last few weeks - which were very difficult. Knowing that, when we weren't there, we had absolute confidence that she was being cared for was a huge comfort. In
such difficult moments, we were treated with absolute kindness by every member of staff.

Care staff very good but as my brother is very deaf and can only see big print he gets bored.
New weekly emails helpful.
His room is dark and small but as he is hardly in there, its important.
I would like to be notified if the funds he has at the home run low. His account went into the red but
I didn't know.

First impressions when we came to visit was as soon as we entered, we knew this was the place for our mum. The staff answered all our queries, making it a smooth transition for Mum and us, to have peace of mind that the care and the home were right.
Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff,
all the staff smile (even when they are having a rubbish day themselves).
Overall, the family are pleased that Mum is being cared for with respect and dignity.

My mother was a resident from mid-October 2023, she died in the home on 2nd Jan 2024.
My experiences of the care are mixed. The senior staff generally had little or no time for us and we felt they were unapproachable. The junior staff on the whole were lovely and very helpful. I did not trust that
my mother was being fed regularly or given enough to drink, and being left in bed for long periods in the day.
One time we visited the care quality inspector was talking to me and the senior staff were ever so nice giving me updates on my mother.
The next day in the absence of the Inspector we were ignored yet again.
Since my mother died I have not heard from the management of the home. No condolences have been offered.
I would not recommend Brookdale.
Reply from Lois Samuels, Care Manager at Brookdale Care Home

We are very saddened that you felt your Mother’s last days and your experience of Brookdale was not of that, that we strive to do. We take on board your comments and will discuss as a team any improvements we can make. We are very sorry for the loss, of your Mother.

I just wanted to share my recent experiences of the service they give to my mother. She is in the dementia care unit and unfortunately has been unwell recently, resulting in visits to A&E with long waits. On every occasion, they always ensure a carer stays with my mother, until either sent back or admitted.
As I live over 2 hours drive away, it is always good to know this. As she wasn’t well, I drove up twice this week, the first time she was in A&E so I witnessed how the carers interacted with her. I am not sure if we can name them but two staff members in particular were both great at keeping Mum settled and calm.
Finally, what they do in the way of activities, the cleanliness of the home, standards of food and are all to be commended.

My father-in-law has always been a fiercely independent person but was struggling on his own to take care of himself and often refused the help that home carers offered and was depressed and forgetting to eat due to delirium and dementia. However, following yet another spell in hospital, he was persuaded
to consider moving into residential care for his own safety. We stayed away for a few days so that the staff could help him to settle in and to our surprise, when we next visited, he looked happy and well and the staff reported that he was enjoying the food. He really likes the staff and enjoys their company. It is apparent to us that the staff are extremely caring and go out of their way to make the residents comfortable.
Reply from Tracey Leverton, Care Home Manager at Brookdale Care Home

Thank you for your positive comments. We love having your father-in-law here at the home, whilst he enjoys our company, we thoroughly enjoy his! He is the most kindest, loveliest man. We are very proud of our team at Brookdale Care Home, we hope to continue to have a long and happy association with yourselves.

Without doubt Brookdale must be at least one of the top care homes in UK.
All the staff without exception are exemplary, they are friendly and know your name and always make you feel very welcome.
Chose this care home because my mum was the happiest there (it is a 32 mile round trip unfortunately).
Everyone
is so friendly and loving towards my mum. I always know she is in good hands and safe.
Keep up the good work guys, you should be proud of yourselves.
