Review from K F (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has severe dementia and can't look after herself. We were so lucky that George Brooker Care Society had a vacancy when we needed it. Mum's transfer into care was made so easy by the welcome she received from staff. We have peace of mind that she is being looked after. The facilities are fabulous,
always scrupulously clean, and whenever we visit mum's room is clean and tidy. She is always well dressed, and the portal means that I can log in and see how she us doing, down to if she had a bath or shower, and what she has been eating. The food is marvellous, by the way.
Reply from Maggie Strong, Registered Manager at The George Brooker Care Society LtdHi KF, thank you for providing a wonderful review of your Mums experience at George Brooker Care Society.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
George Brooker is an amazing care home, they treat the residents with dignity and respect at all times. It is spotless, cleaned to a very high standard, the staff are amazing and work very well with the residents at all times, alongside their siblings. The residents have activities going on at all
times and are encouraged to join in which is good for their health and wellbeing. The rooms are very nice and residents are encouraged to make it home from home.

Review from D C (Nephew of Resident) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The standard of care is first class. My relative has been at George Brooker for the last 18 months. My experience since day one is nothing but positive, the staff are always very helpful. There are always plenty of staff on duty and daily activities encourage residents to get involved and interact with
others. If there are any issues we receive a phone call, and this is very comforting that you are made aware at a very early stage, matters are generally dealt with very efficiently. The food is great and there is always a good selection available. If you have visited or had dealings with other care homes, I would recommend that you look at George Brooker and perhaps like me you will see that your nearest and dearest are being looked after at a very good place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for The George Brooker Care Society Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.941 for The George Brooker Care Society Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.941
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The George Brooker Care Society Ltd is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Margaret (Maggie) Strong

Job Title: Manager Joined: 1992

Since 1992, Maggie has dedicated her career to working at George Brooker House, focusing on the care and support of vulnerable adults. Early on, she discovered that meeting their needs was not just a job, but her true vocation. This realisation fuelled her passion and commitment to providing the highest quality of care.


With the unwavering support of her line managers, she embarked on a journey of personal and professional development and successfully completed levels 2 to 5 in Health and Social Care. These qualifications equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of the field.
Additionally, Maggie undertook specialist dementia training, enhancing her ability to support individuals with this condition effectively.


In 2015, her dedication and hard work culminated in her appointment as the Registered Manager. This role has allowed her to lead and inspire a team of workers ensuring they consistently deliver compassionate and person-cantered care.
Although Maggie's journey has been both challenging and rewarding, she is very proud of the positive impact she has made in the lives of those she continues to care for.
