My mom resided at Brewster House for 4 years. She loved being there & was looked after so well by all the carers. It was a comfort to me to know that my mom was safe & being well cared for. I cannot fault the home at all, everyone was lovely & I was called on a regular basis to keep me updated & reassured. Definately 5 Star. I would also like to add that Paula the manager was more than helpful she was caring and kind throughout my mums last few days. A big thankyou to Paula and her team you were all first class Thankyou

My Grandmother has been in this home since 2023 and since she entered she has had a smile on her face. Brewster house is accommodating and great with resident's needs! Their meals are varied and nutritious with multiple options everyday, facilities are always lovely and clean, staff are always happy to help in anyway they can and always greet you with a smile on their faces. They have decorated my Grandmother's room to her liking and cleaned regularly! They take the residents out on regular, enriching activities that the residents both value and enjoy! The security in the building is superb and the staff care for each individual resident to the best of respect, dignity and cleanliness. Communication from the care home is consistent and amazing with constant updates on both our Grandmother's mental and physical health. Excellent care home, I could not wish for any better for my Grandmother and I am glad that she had the opportunity to be cared for by this amazing home!

My mum has been a resident at Brewster house for 3 years now. She was isolated in her home for 15 years before this, not eating and not getting any medical treatment. Brewster house has changed her life. She is a good healthy weight, she has energy, she is happy, she gets recurrent infections due to her illness and they are treated quickly before they can progress. She has gone from not wanting to speak to anyone to being the most sociable person! She is on the right medications now so her health is the best its ever been. She loves the trips she goes on and has so many friends for the furst time in a long time! Staff are just fantastic with her and treat her like a person and not a client. She has a better social calender than me and is always doing different activities! Communication is fantastic from staff! Both if there are any concerns with mum and weekly updates on activities planned and trips, the Activity manager Leoni does a really great job of varied activities!!

Having gone through some devastating changes, Mum was really struggling to live independtly so residential care was the wisest choice. From first contact the staff & management have listened to us, acted quickly to address any concerns & provided Mum with all she needs & more. She is always busy with activities & is enjoying the food. She is slowly settling in & seems happier.
It is wonderful to hear that she is settling in, enjoying the activities and food, and feeling happier.
Thank you for your kind words!
My husband has been in Brewster House since August 2025. The staff are excellent and the cleaning staff. Everyone there are caring and always cheerful. I am very pleased with the way my husband is cared for.

He finds the food on the whole ok, although he wishes for different choices for the evening tea to be available.
His room is kept clean and tidy with his laundry frequently collected and returned in a timely manner.
I really do think that all the staff led by the Management team try their very best to set a high standard.

The home and staff are excellent. The home is well laid out, spacious, clean and comfortable. All staff are friendly, kind and professional.
I really look forward to my visits to the home to see my mum as there is always so much going on and it's great to get to meet and know the other residents and their families along with her new friends. We are very pleased indeed with her care.

I was afraid that my independent friend, having lived alone for most of his adult life, would be unhappy in a care home; but very quickly, he settled down, saying 'The staff here are so lovely. They really look after me and are so kind.' He once said 'I am going to buy an electric scooter. I'd like to see where I used to live once more, and stroke my cat, and then come back here.' What a recommendation! I am impressed by his neat little room, the alarm, the en-suite and the lightness. I am, as a visitor, always greeted and treated by all the staff and given time and patient consideration by the manager.

My parent came to Brewster House at the end of last year from the hospital, so we had no idea what to expect. We have been pleasantly surprised on all fronts from the level of care and attention, the kindness and caring from all staff, cleanliness (including no smells!), the standard of the food and the constant stream of activities the Home organises. My parent has even been taken out to the cinema! The staff are very proactive and attentive. Thank you so much to all the staff.
Brewster House has created a caring, diligent and calm home environment for those staying there, sprinkled with a bit of fun, crazy and entertaining activities for those who want it. Everyone has a smile for you and there's not really anything else we could ask for.

My name is Terry Gray, and I am the Home Manager at Brewster House. I first joined Runwood Homes in 2022 and have held several leadership roles within the organisation. Throughout my career in adult social care, I have remained passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and genuinely person-centred care. My aim is to ensure that every resident is treated with dignity and respect, receives care tailored to their individual needs, and is supported to maintain their choices and independence. I want Brewster House to feel like a true home, where residents are happy, families feel confident, and colleagues are proud to work. I believe open communication is essential, so please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or suggestions. My door is always open, and I will be very happy to help!

My name is Leoni, and I have been part of the Runwood Homes family since summer 2020. Initially starting as a carer, I transitioned into the Lifestyle Coordinator role in summer 2023—a role that truly feels like my calling.
Before joining Brewster House, I worked in a bakery and wasn’t quite sure what my next steps would be. However, within just one week of working here, I realised I had found where I was meant to be.
As many residents and families know, I have a deep love for animals, especially dogs. My dog, Cash Tennessee, often visits the home and brings so much joy to everyone.
I cherish coming to work each day, engaging in conversations, having fun, and helping residents enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle. It’s a privilege to be part of their lives, to plan trips and outings, and to make their wishes a reality whenever possible.
Being a Lifestyle Coordinator is more than just a job for me—it’s about building meaningful connections and making a positive impact on everyone at Brewster House.

I'm Paula. I am excited to have recently joined Brewster House as Unit Manager, working closely with Jenna, the Home Manager. My journey with Runwood Homes began approximately 15 years ago when I started as a Care Assistant. Over the years, I progressed to Senior Care Assistant and, for the past two years, have held the dual role of Unit Manager and Home Administrator.
I am passionate about building meaningful connections with our residents, their families, and friends. Ensuring that everyone in our care receives the highest standard of support and compassion is at the heart of everything I do.

Hi, I’m Andy, and I’m the Chef here at Brewster House.
My journey into the kitchen started somewhat by accident. When I was 17, my mum worked as a night senior in the care sector, which led me to take a kitchen porter job. From there, I worked my way up through the ranks, eventually becoming a chef.
I’ve now been at Brewster House for almost 3 years, and I’m proud to be part of a fantastic kitchen team. Together, we’re dedicated to creating delicious meals and providing excellent care for our wonderful residents.
